i'm waiting for the new version.
i waited for the new wigo, and i wasn't impressed by the exterior. "too many sharp angles".
i am hoping, the new vios will loosen my purse strings.
as of now kasi, i would rather get a used altis than a new current vios. may sukli pa ako.

January 17th, 2024 10:45 AM #89832024 Toyota Vios for PH: All new or just new look? -Autoindustriya.com
TMP has received approval for passenger vehicles with gasoline engine displacements of 1329cc and 1496cc. Upon running the numbers, the engine capacities point out to the 1NR and 2NR-FE – two Dual VVT-I engines that are part of the Vios lineup in the country.
In these cases, a new approval could mean they are either launching the DNGA all-new model or a model update. For the Vios, Toyota seems to be leaning towards the latter.
The approval had the chassis code NSP150, which points out to the one used by the third-generation Vios. For reference, the fourth-generation DNGA Vios has the chassis code AC100. So based on this information alone, it looks like Toyota Motor Philippines is intent on sticking to the third-generation model.
Last year, the third-generation model Vios received a rather interesting facelift over in Vietnam. It had a new look front-end, some minor changes to the standard features, and added the Toyota Safety Sense to the top-spec G variant.
The PH-spec model could mirror those updates, but it would still depend on the product planning specialists over at the Santa Rosa plant where Toyota makes the Vios.
From a manufacturing engineer’s perspective, one possible reason for TMP sticking to the third-generation model is that it takes less work (and far less cost) to tweak the production line for a minor refresh rather than a full model change, especially now that they also have their hands full retooling the plant to produce the new Tamaraw. This could also be another reason why TMP had to cut down the Vios lineup to optimize the production flow of parts and raw materials.
So as it stands, the DNGA Vios may not come until at least next year... or even not at all.

January 17th, 2024 11:06 PM #8987their corporate motto,
"why fix it if it ain't broken?"
how toyota does it, daw.
they will not replace a part, but instead tweak it over and over to eke out better performance, replacing it only when a better alternative is available.
as a result, we have their so-called boringly reliable cars,
where the latest car shares the same basic engine, suspension, atbp, as the car ten years older than it.

on the topic of "previous gen" parts... sa akin it depends.
Remember the Toyota 2E?
First time I saw one was on a E90 (may contact point and a separate ignition coil)
sa E100 namin electronic na sya which was a very welcome upgrade
Pero I feel na super luma na nung 2E when it was still used sa E110
yung Tamaraw FX din with the old 5K engine was under powered, later versions na may 7K was way better pero hirap na hirap pa din.
para sa mga bata naman... remember the 2NZ-FE version of the early versions ng XP150? It was later replaced by the 1NR-FE with CVT
NZ version was used by the first 2 versions of the Vios which was underpowered for the 3rd Gen.
