However, we can see from its 7-second Wigo video teaser that most of its chrome finishes are now in black trims. The wheels are also finished in black. These subtle changes could give the Wigo a sportier and bolder look.

Currently, the Wigo is powered by a 1.0-liter 3-Cylinder 1KR-VE gasoline engine that is capable of generating 66 hp at 6,000 rpm and 89 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. This is coupled to either a 4-speed automatic transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission.

The all-new Wigo sports a cabin that appears similar to the Toyota Raize. Its driver side gets a revised analog instrument cluster, an economy meter, a push-to-start button, and a six-way manually adjustable seat. 

Occupants of this Toyota-made hatch are then kept comfortable by a manual climate control system. It likewise gets a total of four bottle holders, three cup holders, etc.

Handling the entertainment needs of this Toyota’s occupants is an eight-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The said screen is then paired with a four-piece speaker system. 

For safety, the next-gen hatch gets anti-lock braking, dual front airbags, stability control, engine immobilizer, and hill-start assist. The top-spec G adds to those with a car alarm, a rearview camera, and a digital video recorder. 

Platform & Chassis

The Wigo uses the new Daihatsu New Global Architecture - A platform. It’s still a front-engine, front-wheel-drive vehicle, but it has grown larger compared to its older sibling.
