Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has officially launched the all-new 2022 Veloz, which is offered in two variants at a starting price of Php 1,185,000. TMP has also separated the Veloz from the current Avanza lineup, making it a stand-alone model.
2022 Toyota Veloz
TMP explains that the Veloz is for individuals who are looking for a more premium car compared to the Avanza. While it still has the familiar MPV look, TMP is marketing the all-new Veloz as a subcompact SUV, which is similar to how the Suzuki XL7 and the Honda BR-V are marketed in the Philippines.
Speaking to Philkotse.com during the launch, TMP Assistant Vice President for Marketing Services Elvin Luciano said that the company is looking to sell 800 Veloz units per month. TMP’s target unit sales for the 2022 Toyota Veloz is lower than what it has set for the all-new Avanza, which is at 1,000 units per month.
The Toyota Veloz is larger in terms of overall dimensions compared to the Avanza
The target unit sales is an indication that TMP is more confident that the Avanza will sell more than the Veloz, which is expected due to the price point of the two Toyota vehicles. To put things in perspective, the all-new Toyota Avanza comes with a starting price of Php 813,000 and goes all the way to Php 1,039,000 for the top-spec G variant.
One can differentiate the 2022 Veloz from the Avanza through its exterior and interior finish. The Veloz has a different grille design compared to the Avanza, and it also comes with larger dimensions. The 2022 Toyota Veloz is 80mm longer, and 45mm wider than the all-new Avanza.
The Veloz comes with a different seat material
The all-new Toyota Veloz also comes with a more refined interior that’s highlighted by leather and fabric seats. Aside from that, it is integrated with more modern tech such as the digital instrument display, wireless smartphone charger, and Toyota Safety Sense driver-assist features, among others.
Under the hood, the Veloz uses the same 1.5-liter gasoline engine that’s found on the Avanza G trim. It delivers 105 hp and 138 Nm of torque. The Veloz’s engine is connected to a continuously variable transmission (CVT).

Toyota Veloz 2024 Exterior
On the outside, the Veloz is an adventurous-looking MPV. Think of it along the lines of other SUV-like MPVs in the local market.
The front end gets a large honeycomb pattern grille, trim pieces for its LED headlamps and fog lamps, as well as a front air dam.
From the sides, one can see that it sits on a set of 17-inch alloy wheels. Also, a chrome-colored trim piece spans the entire length of the vehicle.
The rear then features a pair of LED taillights, as well as a rear air dam. Up top, this model also comes with roof rails, and a shark-fin antenna.
Toyota Veloz 2024 Interior
Inside, the Veloz can comfortably seat up to seven occupants. It also gets the same Long Sofa mode seat configuration that is present on the Toyota Avanza.
Other features found inside this model include a push-to-start button, a leather-wrapped multi-function steering wheel with tilt and telescopic adjustment, a digital gauge cluster, an automatic climate control system, as well as seats that are clad with a combination of fabric and leather.
The interior itself uses a two-tone, white and black color scheme. It also has plenty of metallic trim pieces, as well as soft-touch surfaces.
Toyota Veloz 2024 Technology & Safety
For safety, the Veloz gets a total of six airbags, anti-lock braking with electronic brakeforce distribution, ISOFIX child seat anchors, stability control, rear parking sensors, hill-start assist, as well as a 360-degree view camera.
Those are then supported by the Toyota Safety Sense driver assist suite. This includes features like a pre-collision system, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure assist, and front departure alert, among others.
Toyota Veloz 2024 Platform and Chassis
The all-new 2024 Toyota Veloz uses the Daihatsu new Global Architecture platform. It shares this with the Avanza, as well as the all-new Raize.
For suspensions, it gets a MacPherson strut type for the front, and a torsion beam type for the rear.
Braking is then handled by disc brakes for all four wheels, as well as an electronic parking brake.
Toyota Veloz 2024 Engine
The Veloz uses a 1.5-liter inline-4 gasoline engine paired with a CVT sending power to its front wheels. This engine is then good for 105 horsepower and 138 Nm of torque.
The 2024 Toyota Veloz has four available color options. There’s Platinum White Pearl Mica, Purplish Silver Mica Metallic, Dark Red Mica Metallic, and Black Metallic.
Compared to its competitors, the 2024 Toyota Veloz sits just about average when it comes to making horsepower and torque. The same goes when talking about interior space. Then again, the key strength of the Veloz is that its top-spec V variant already comes with the Toyota Safety Sense driver assist kit. And yes, most of its competitors lack an equivalent driver assist suite.
