According to the latest information from Toyota Vietnam, Wigo 2023 will officially be launched on June 6th. Previously, Toyota planned to launch this A-segment car on May 24th, but unexpectedly announced a postponement due to objective reasons.
The return of Toyota Wigo after a long absence may help the small car segment have more options. Currently, this group of cars is only a two-way race between Hyundai Grand i10 and Kia Morning.
However, in this comeback, besides the two direct competitors, Toyota Wigo also faces a lot of pressure from nearby segments such as B-segment sedans, small urban SUVs or even cheap mini electric cars.
In Vietnam, Toyota Wigo 2023 can be equipped with LED lights, fabric seats, a 7-inch center screen, and paddle shifters. The small-sized car also becomes safer with features such as hill-start assist, blind spot warning, and rear cross-traffic alert.
Powering the Wigo 2023 is a 1.2L engine, producing 87 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 113 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm. Accompanying the engine is a front-wheel-drive system and a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission.
When contacting a consultant at a Toyota dealership in Ho Chi Minh City, they said that the Toyota Wigo will be distributed in Vietnam with 2 versions: 1.2 MT and 1.2 AT. The expected listed price ranges from 375 to 412 million VND. Therefore, compared to the previous generation model, the listed price of Toyota Wigo 2023 will be about 20-40 million VND higher.
