2016 Toyota Vios E CVT: Similar look but best engine in the segment

Toyota Vios E is one of the cars attracted the greatest interest from the market.

Regarded as one of the cars attracted the greatest interest from the market, the Toyota Vios has topped the best-selling cars in the Philippines not only in the small-car segment but also in the passenger-car market. The sedan has occupied the car market in the country, plying the roads as service vehicles and even taxi fleets. The new Vios version would get buyers excited with its stronger engine, but at the same time, make a disappointing impression by its same old appearance.

The new Toyota Vios E CVT’s changes are under its body. Its appearance still looks almost similar to other previous versions that seem quite familiar to Filipinos.

2016 Toyota Vios E CVT offers an old and simple interior space with too much black plastic inside, not much different from the previous ones. However, a roomy cabin and comfortable seats are strong points of practicality, which might be a reason for why it has constantly gained vast popularity in the market. The driving position is generally convenient although some say the steering wheel should be adjustable to fit the drivers' arm's length.
