The inline-3 gasoline engine can still make up to 66 horsepower and 89 Nm of torque. Power is still sent to its front wheels via a continuously variable transmission (CVT) for the G and E trims. A five-speed manual gearbox meanwhile, returns for the entry-level J variant.

For dimensions, all variants of the 2024 Wigo is 3,760mm long, 1,665mm wide, and 1,515mm in height. This makes the model fairly larger than the old version, including the pre-facelift TRD S variant.

Lastly, onboard entertainment for the updated Toyota hatchback is provided by an eight-inch touchscreen or a 1-DIN headunit for the entry-level J.
