The all-new Toyota Avanza made its debut last November 2021 in Indonesia featuring a revamped styling, and a new platform. Now, it seems that Toyota’s MPV has already booked a ticket to the Land of Smiles.
2022 Toyota Avanza
Headlight Magazine reports that the 2022 Toyota Avanza will be introduced in Thailand in February. The Veloz trim is also said to be made available in the Thai market. Same exterior and interior features are expected to be integrated into the Thai-spec Avanza but it will reportedly be offered with a sole engine option.

The all-new Toyota Avanza is offered with either a 1.5-liter or a 1.3-liter gasoline engine in Indonesia. But, the Thai-spec MPV is said to be offered with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine only. The said power unit generates 106 hp and 137 Nm of torque. It is connected to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The report also claims that the Thai-spec 2022 Toyota Avanza will not have a manual transmission option.
The Avanza's rear gets a major design update
The Avanza now sits on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture B (DNGA-B) platform that features a unibody construction rather than the old ladder-frame design. The said MPV has also ditched the rear-wheel drivetrain by shifting to a front-wheel drive layout.
On the other hand, the all-new Avanza is set to be launched in the Philippines in March 2022. Toyota Motor Philippines has yet to share the specs of the upcoming Avanza. Judging from our ASEAN neighbors, there’s a good chance that the Veloz trim will also be made available in the Philippine market.
Current PH-spec Toyota Avanza
Currently, the PH-spec Toyota Avanza is offered in five variants with a starting price of Php 743,000 while the top-spec Veloz is priced at Php 1,077,000. It is powered by either a 1.5-liter or a 1.3-liter gasoline engine.
