Now, that you've got the money and the time, you just can't wait to lay your hand on a brand-new Toyota Vios 2022, just one of the top-ranking 5-seater SUV sedans in the country because of its uncompromising take on reliability, efficiency, affordability, practicality, and of course, its maintenance-friendly attributes.

But for the moment, you are going to be truly mesmerized and bewildered by the sheer number of Toyota Vios models that are currently available in Metro Manila, the Philippines as the said cars come all in all, in 24 different flavorful trims although 10 of these are presently available to the public as of July 8, 2022, according to ZigWheels.ph.

Toyota Vios 1.3 Base MT

But first, let's start the ball rolling with the entry-level Vios 1.3 Base MT grade, which comes with 14-inch alloy wheels, a 1.3-liter four-cylinder naturally aspirated petrol engine, and is certified to return 19 km/l of fuel for a suggested retail price of Php 681,000.

If you decide to go ahead with the financing route, a 20% down payment, or Php 136,200, will set you up with monthly payments of Php 51,780 for the following 12 months, Php 20,566 for the next 36 months, and lastly, Php 13,659 for a 60-month loan.

Toyota Vios 1.3 XLE MT

Meanwhile, mid-range models include the Vios 1.3 XLE MT, which has more specialized equipment such as a MID-equipped meter panel, a tilt-adjustable multi-functional steering wheel, and a 6.75-inch touchscreen infotainment system. 

The starting price for this manual gearbox model is Php 811,000.

With a 30% down payment, or Php 154,091, this manual transmission model can be had is for 36 months at a monthly payment of Php 24,190.

However, the monthly payment for a lengthier duration of 60 months gets to even the odds because you'll only have to maintain a down payment of Php 16,066.

Toyota Vios 1.5 G CVT

The Vios 1.5 G CVT, which has excellent features including 16-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights with daytime running LEDs, a multi-functional leather-wrapped steering wheel, push-button start, a rearview camera, and ABS with EBD and braking assist, comes in second place for the top-spec variation title.

Likewise, with a down payment of 30%, or Php 205,800, this mid-spec trim cost Php 980,000 and was amortized over 36 months at a rate of Php 29,294 per month.

However, on the same down payment, the price is Php 19,456 per month if you want to pay over a 60-month loan term.

Toyota Vios GR-S

Purported to be the crown jewel of the Vios range, the GR-S comes heavily arrayed in a stylish Gazoo Racing Sport body kit detailing the front, side, and rear trim panels topped off with a more fiercer-looking grille. 

The GR-S is available for purchase for a staggering Php 1,020,000 with a down payment of 20%, or Php 204,000, and 48 monthly installments of Php 22,959. 

If you choose a 60-month term, doubling the deposit at 40 percent, or Php 408,000, results in a monthly amortization of Php 14,753.

CONCLUSION

Bear in mind that these are all generously fair estimates, at best, it would be wise for you to visit the nearest car dealership (in this case, Toyota) because they can provide you with a more accurate pricing computation based on your current financial status.

Also, be mindful of setting aside a stash of cash for insurance and registration claims because you'd eventually shoulder the cost, especially during the end of the first three years of car ownership.

Plus, whichever Vios model you choose from the selection, make a mental note that the extra dough/money also comes in handy as it keeps you afloat for other exigencies like maintenance and God forbid, running low on fuel without any coin to spare in the middle of the desert?

Or who knows what deserted spectral place you end up with which, come to think of it, a mite risky proposition for you any which way you cut it, tsk-tsk. (isn't that right Georgy boy? Hah-hah)
