New Toyota Vios 2013

That is all ... Model many of you have been waiting for: the Vios .

For the better part of a decade, the Vios has become one of the most important models for Toyota, supplanting even the venerable Toyota Corolla / Corolla Altis from his position as first mover and shaker brand in the passenger car segment.

Well, that advertising was established, let's see what the new 2013 Toyota Vios really like ... and apparently 1.3E well.

If you think it looks very good, good, I can tell you're not alone. In terms of design, the new Vios is leaps and bounds over the previous model, a car, which we interpreted as too conservative. This new model, just go ambitious ... and that is a very good thing.

For starters, the front end is more futuristic than ever, with design details that makes the car so young and active, as your target beats. Mix stretched headlights and grill together to form a continuous line to accentuate the front, by the aggressive recording / grill in the main.

Of particular interest are character lines along the side of the vehicle above the grip type door handles run (handles much better than latch - type) and below the front and rear in the. Elongated headlights with the tail lights that correspond to the extended rear quarter panels and the car will be increased by a square rear end and a minor amount of alloy wheels.

One obvious variation is the size of Vios . The new model measures 4410mm long (top: 4300mm), 1700mm wide (top: 1700mm) and 1475mm high (previous year: 1460mm). Unusually the wheelbase is the same, which means that the new car an extra 110mm (ish ) projection of how it will affect the handling , we will know has . In addition, a large change of the largest luggage compartment 476 liters (81L bigger than the previous model), is able to down load and larger bags.

On the inside, the change is low. The Board looks much more impressive than the expected class. The predominant material in plastic linings or what it will be hard knuckle rappers out there, but it seems to be high quality, with the “seam " and textured faux means used. It is also interesting how the center console for the stereo drafts “hovering" of the more expensive brands, great mimics.

The seat assembly , ergonomics, and the controls are much better than before , especially with the good news meters back to where they should be : behind the wheel in front of the driver . The feel of the steering wheel and shifter buttons are much better than before, and the same applies to the driving position, not too big as the previous model. The cup holders are particularly interesting, as it turned out Vios cupholders at the front (compared to flip to the previous Vios) before the A / C vents. The cup holder in the center console no longer has a cover also. Ladies, especially those of that have mastered the art on the road while driving, you will love this Vios still the driver's side mirror. However, we do not recommend it - climbing and driving.

One thing that I noticed is how the convenience of really improved. The front seats are large enough to be a real step up from the previous Vios. The big change is in the rear seats, as the angle of the backrest and knee / legroom have actually improved when the Vios is to be in the fleets of taxis in the near future, I do not mind going into the back seat.

For properties, this e 1.3 gets a good balance of what you need for comfort and price. The windows are all driven, automatic transmission have a rear window defroster and a system of AC / manual (but powerful) , even after a few hours in the midday tropical sun , the A / C cools the cabin quickly . The audio system is everything you need, including AM, FM, CD, MP3 playback and an auxiliary input and iPod / iPhone compatibility. No Bluetooth, but you get used steering wheel audio unit. In general, the Vios is a good package for the price.

Powering the Vios range are a pair of engines: a 1.3-liter and 1.5 -liter , both with twin cam , 16-valve 4- cylinder with VVT-i . The motors are actually received from the previous generation and were not brought up to date as the indoor and outdoor area. In its current form this e 1.3 has 86 hp and 122 Nm of torque, which ran all the same 4 - speed automatic. After driving in the metro and beyond, gave the new Vios 1.3 E 10.2 km per liter in the city (moderate traffic) and 12.9 km liter on the road, a little smaller than the previous E 1.3 we went.

With respect to the acceleration or speed is not impressive Vios ... but it was never supposed to be. One thing that really works Toyota is in the smoothness, like new Vios units, as there is much more refined in terms of reduced noise vibration is hardness. In addition, the suspension is modified to provide a better ride and.

There are some minor quirks with the new Vios me after a few hours of driving in the city realized. First, the area in front of the shift lever automatic door type. The shape is shape makes it practically useless for most items such as sunglasses or mobile phone, and the way it is at an angle means that everything you put in there the slightest slip acceleration. The other thing I noticed is how the center channel in the interior of the car (the hump that goes from the engine to the rear, creating a space for the exhaust pipe) tends to significantly warmer. Maybe it takes a little insulation to prevent the heat of the exhaust gases into the vehicle interior.

Outside the city limits and on the way to intensive farming, the Vios is surprisingly better. Now, the model line was never much better known for a large curve (unlike the Ford Fiesta or Suzuki Swift), but the new look, although it's a little smoother and has extended overhangs. If there is something that is a bit more predictable at the limit and the direction seems more accurate. Just point and squirt ... although this is a 1.3L, it will take a little longer for the gas jets to get started.

So how do we find in the new Vios 1.3E? I would say it has changed the best conditions for outdoor use , very high marks for the cabin, better ride and comfort , good performance and economy due to lack of engine. In PHP

Vios line really was not one of those things that needs fixing real- time, but needs some fixing. Judging by the way he drives, how well he has done and how well you see, the new Toyota Vios absolutely perfect.
