Toyota Wigo Variants: Conclusion
It’s pretty straightforward when you’re choosing which 2024 Toyota Wigo variant is right for you. The higher the trim, the more safety and convenience features you get. In this case, the G variant is the most complete Wigo though the mid-spec E might be close as it gets the same on-board entertainment system.
For buyers who want a manual, however, the only choice they have is the entry-level J. All trims though, do make the same amount of power and have the same braking and suspension systems.
Both the top-spec G and the mid-spec E come with a CVT. The J meanwhile, gets a 5-speed manual gearbox.
In the end, we urge serious buyers to take each for a test drive. The variant guide can only do so much, and getting seat time on these trims is just plain better than merely reading off specs.
