UPDATE as of 7/8/2024 - Apparently, there was a miscalculation as there are remaining stocks of the 1.5-liter Vios shared Toyota Motor Philippines.

Toyota Motor Philippines has once again made updates to the variant lineup of its best-selling model, the Vios.  But it’s not what you think.

Just a week after cutting down the 1.5-liter variants of the current-generation Vios, TMP has brought back the bigger engine option to the lineup. We have tried to reach out to TMP executives regarding this move, but we're still waiting for an official word from them.

As such, for those who want extra power and torque brought by the 2NR-FE, the 1.5-liter engine Vios is back in 5-speed manual and CVT variants. Specs and features appear to be pretty much unchanged, along with its previous pricing.

The 1.5-liter variants of the Vios come with 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, DRLs, chrome door handles, and side mirror-mounted turn signals for the exterior, while you can expect leather seats, push-button engine start and Apple Carplay / Android Auto connectivity inside.

The 1.5 G MT sells for PHP 979,000 while the 1.5 G CVT retails for PHP 1,039,000. Colors, however, are now limited to Black 1, Grayish Blue Mica Metallic, and Super Red V.
