The 3rd generation Vios was unveiled at the 2013 Bangkok International Motor Show in Thailand. Designated under the concept of 'Value Beyond Belief', Toyota aims to export the new Vios as a global model with world class standards. The new car will go on sale in Thailand shortly after, and to be sold in Asia from the 2nd quarter of this year.
According to Toyota, the car is based on a 'luxury-sport' design for both the exterior and interior. The exterior has been enlarged to 4,410 mm (173.6 in) in length, keeping the width the same as the outgoing model and height grown to 1,475 mm (58.1 in). The interior is also made to be even more spacious than the current one, however its speedometer position is no longer mounted on the centre of the dashboard as with the earlier models of the Vios.
As with the previous model, it bears much resemblances to the Vitz or more commonly known as the Yaris. The engine under the hood is essentially the same 1NZ-FE engine that is used from the outgoing model.
