Toyota Yaris Ativ / Vios spied undisguised in India

A few days ago we shared spy images of the Toyota Yaris Ativ / Vios sedan. Now, a new set of spy images have surfaced online that partially reveal the car’s front end as well as parts of the interior.

The India-spec Yaris Ativ / Vios sedan is likely to be identical to the model currently sold in the South East Asian markets. Media reports suggest that we will get the Singapore-spec Vios. The spy image indicates that the Vios will get large sweptback headlights with LED DRL strips placed on the bumper and fog lamp pods with silver trim. In India, the Vios is likely to be offered with silver alloy wheels.

The interior of the Yaris Ativ / Vios sedan featured in one of the images looks similar to the car sold in Singapore. It has dual-tone interiors finished in black and beige while the seats get beige upholstery. The car has a 3-spoke steering wheel with a silver trim. The centre console has a silver frame and houses a touchscreen infotainment system, 2 air-conditioning vents and the climate control module. This particular car appears to have the optional CVT.

Recent media reports suggest that the Vios will be offered with a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine. Toyota offers the same engine in Singapore. It produces 105 BHP @ 6,000 rpm and 140 Nm of peak torque @ 4,200 rpm and will come paired with either a 5-speed manual gearbox or 7-speed CVT. Initially, the Vios will not come with a diesel option.

Toyota is yet to make a formal announcement regarding the Vios in India.
