Toyota has once again set its sights on redefining the city car segment with the highly anticipated launch of the all-new Toyota Wigo here in the Philippines. With an impressive array of upgrades and enhancements, this compact hatchback promises to deliver an exceptional driving experience and unparalleled value for money. From its proven and reliable powertrain to its sleek design and advanced technology, here are the top five things to expect from the all-new Toyota Wigo.
Same proven and reliable powertrain
Under the hood, the all-new Wigo retains its tried-and-tested KR-VE 1.0-liter three-cylinder gasoline engine. Generating 65 horsepower and 89 Nm of torque, this powertrain ensures a smooth and efficient ride through city streets. While it may not feature the new 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine seen in the Toyota Raize, the Wigo's powertrain offers easy maintenance with an abundance of readily available parts in the Philippines.
In a significant upgrade, the outdated four-speed automatic transmission has been replaced with a new Dual-Mode Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT). This change not only improves fuel economy but also enhances power delivery, providing a more responsive and engaging driving experience.
All-new platform for enhanced comfort and driving dynamics
The all-new Wigo is built on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA), a cutting-edge platform that guarantees improved comfort, better handling, and increased interior space. Toyota's engineers have fine-tuned the suspension system to absorb bumps and shocks more effectively, resulting in a smoother and more enjoyable ride. Additionally, the enhanced rigidity of the platform contributes to reduced body roll, providing a stable and confident driving experience.
Refreshed interior and advanced technology
Step inside the all-new Wigo, and you'll be greeted by a redesigned interior boasting an array of premium features. The steering wheel has been updated for a more ergonomic grip, while the dashboard has been refined with superior materials, giving the cabin a more refined ambiance. The integrated infotainment screen offers improved connectivity options, allowing drivers to stay connected and entertained on the go.
Passenger comfort has also been prioritized, with increased rear legroom and enhanced cargo space compared to the previous model. Furthermore, the overall ergonomics have been optimized, with the shifter now positioned higher for improved ease of use, and a well-thought-out pedal layout for a more comfortable driving experience.
Enhanced maneuverability in urban environments
Toyota has re-engineered the electronic power steering system in the all-new Wigo, making it more responsive and effortless to steer through crowded city streets. The compact hatchback now features a smaller turning radius, enabling swift and precise maneuvering, even in tight spaces. With its "Exciting City Car" concept, Toyota has taken the urban driving experience to new heights, making the Wigo an ideal companion for navigating busy cityscapes.
Striking exterior design
One glance at the all-new Wigo, and you'll be captivated by its stylish and contemporary appearance. Toyota's designers have worked diligently to embody the brand's "Exciting City Car" concept, resulting in a sleeker and more modern aesthetic. The sharper headlights, sculpted hood, and larger grille exude a sense of confidence and dynamism, while the much more streamlined silhouette adds a touch of sophistication to the overall design. The all-new Wigo is undoubtedly a head-turner that stands out from the crowd.
With its unwavering commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction, We feel that Toyota has once again raised the bar in the city car segment with the all-new Wigo. Combining a proven and reliable powertrain with an all-new platform, refreshed interior, advanced technology, and striking design, the Wigo offers a compelling package that is sure to impress. Whether you seek an efficient and comfortable daily commuter or a versatile urban companion, the all-new Toyota Wigo is poised to exceed your expectations and make a lasting impression on Philippine roads.
