Paul Tan's Automotive Industry News

Toyota Vitz

If Perodua were to make a car in the same class as the Proton Savvy, it would have to be based on the Toyota Vitz.

The Toyota Vitz is in the compact car class, unlike the Perodua Myvi/Toyota Passo which is in the mini-MPV class. Driver posture, body shape and handling is totally different between these two classes of cars. One is a cute people mover and the other is a sporty hot hatch.

When the shots for this model of the Vitz first came out, everyone thought it was a Perodua car because of the logo on the front. It looked like a revised version of Perodua’s P logo. It was actually the Vitz’s own logo. Toyota has a habit of making a logo for every car. Like the Harrier has an eagle logo on it’s grill.

Looks good right? Like a Toyota Vios hatchback.

The meter panel is located in the middle of the dashboard, like the Vios. This trend is picking up pretty fast in new Japanese cars. The meters are Optitron meters.

Looks great from the side too right? I really think Toyota’s designers are getting better and better over the years. The cars look great out of the factory. No need for additional bodykits. Coupled with their reputation for reliability, you have a sure winner.

The Vitz is comes in 1.0 2WD, 1.3 2WD, 1.3 4WD and 1.5 2WD models. The 1.3 VVT-i used is not the K3-VE found in the Passo but another model, the 2SZ-FE for the 2WD and 2NZ-FE for the 4WD. From the engine code, you can tell that these engines have Toyota-style engine codes, unlike K3-VE which is Daihatsu styled. The 1.5 uses the same 1NZ-FE engine as the Toyota Vios available here. The 1.5 engine has been fitted with a turbokit reliably by tuners in Thailand, so that should be some good news to the speed demons out there who fancy more power in this good looking chassis. In Europe, the Vitz is also available with a 1.4 liter D4-D family diesel engine. This same diesel engine is the one BMW licensed to use in it’s MINI One diesel variants.

CVT gearboxes are also more and more popular these days. The Toyota Vitz comes with Toyota’s implementation of CVT known as Super CVT-i (Continuously Variable Transmission-intelligent). CVT allows for a smoother drive, with no jerky gear shifts as the gear ratios are infinitely varied through the use of belts. Maybe I will blog about how this works for my next howto article.

The Vitz is not available in Malaysia yet, and I do not know if Toyota plans to bring it in as a CKD model or a CBU model like the Toyota RAV4. However, grey importers can always bring it in if you request them to do so. Perhaps Wald will bring it in?

Update: Toyota is now selling this car in Malaysia as the Toyota Yaris. Click here for detailed information on the car.

    GEN2 promotion - 3 months free instalment.

    Gen2 sales is so bad they need to resort to this promotion.
    I called the 1300880888 line and asked for the details.
    It is only for a 90%, 9 years loan (108 months). You pay only 105 months. That is totally crap because you would have paid over 31.5% (3.5% X 9) in interest. They are practically paying over RM10K in interest alone.

    Vitz is really sweet. My friend told me about the car - If it were to go on sale here in M’sia, gone lar both Myvi and Savvy. (subject to pricing, too of course)

    I’m hard pressed to call this car a compact car. I’ve sat in one a few times in Australia ( older model… and over there it’s known as the Toyota Echo ). While it’s small I can’t honestly say it’s as small as the Savvy.

  13. jonas said,

    July 5, 2005 @ 3:03 pm

    Ya…i forgot to ask one important question, Paul Tan, do u have any idea on the pricing of this cool toyota vitz?sometimes it’s hard to say coz may be one day this car will be launced and sell in malaysia, so i need to plan my budget (may be too early for the planning…. :>)mah…….

    Daihatsu owned Perodua since last year.. (and actually i dont think it’s okay with the nae PErusahaan Automobil kedua YET!.. perusahaan automobil KLON is okay la.. dont put it like malaysian company la.. buat malu saja..

    Haiya.. stupit.. really stupid.. malu aku jadi maraysian…

    new automotive tax policy will come up on Sep ,to furhter reduce import tax,will this be an advantage in terms of pricing for vitz since this model will be launched in Q1′2006 at Thailand ….

  19. edw said,

    July 5, 2005 @ 6:14 pm

    15 to 1 say this is a great car, only “savvo” the hard core proton lover think likewise.

    I think if this car is in the same market with savvy, Perodua should bring this in, I think this will be another hot selling model.

    again, if Savvy vs P2-Vitz , again P2 win.

    July 6, 2005 @ 10:44 am

    AFTA rules enforcement will determine the tax rate ,toyota / UMW local agent will decide the introduction of new model …so far i get info from SA …2006 toyota will have 4 new model …camry…altis …another 2 is not confirm yet …might be vios facelift or vitz…

    Anyway let Thailand launch toyota vitz firt before we see the chances launch in MAlaysia….

    dude… taking other person’s post and make it as if it’s your own is not right. you should leave a note of where you saw this. that’s the least you could do. it’s common decency.

  28. Paul said,

    July 7, 2005 @ 12:58 am

    cccp: are you saying i ripped your post? i didn’t. i’ve been keeping this vitz thing in my Wordpress drafts for ages since everyone was talking about it to be the next Perodua, even before the Myvi launch. because of the Vitz logo that looked like a Perodua logo. which i’ve mentioned in my entry. now i look at your blog and saw your post. you might have posted before me, but trust me i didn’t take the idea to post this from your site.

    as for the photos, i screenshotted them from http://toyota.jp/vitz/

    July 7, 2005 @ 10:27 am

    I am sure toyota will put a booth and called it corolla or vios or etc and sell it in Malaysia just vios which actually looks like a hatchback with a booth patch up at the back… same with Honda City. Saw two vios smash at the back and it sure looks like a hatch…. also the vios’s back is so soft.

  46. Antho said,

    July 27, 2005 @ 1:53 am

    I’ve seen VITS in a chinese newspaper. It says tht VITZ will be launching most probably on next year and the expected price is more or less the same as MYVI. However, we still need to consider about the tax rate… which might be changing on this coming Sept. Well…. wait for the launching then.

    Haiyooo Hazu ! Enough la with proton. Haven’t you learn anything? Sure u can get proton spare part easily coz the car is full of defect, so much that proton has to ‘lambak’ the spare part in the market to reduce the burden of their service centers.

Rumours said that only limited will be allowed to masuk Msia….So, do u think the price is going to be cheap? Limited edition wor…………………….Of course I hope it is going to be affordable, but don’t forget about spare parts……..there is always a balancing act……..

    savvy and myvi should worth less than what has been offered now.
    quality wise is disastrous….even after more than 10 years dominating the local market.
    so….why not buy more quality car for more $$$..
    it’s time for the toyota to sell their car same price as myvi and savvy…sure sells like goreng pisang…

    The design is nice, a compact car suitable for todays youngsters. It’s compareable with Myvi and Savvy, and i do believe that it’s performance is better than others with same category. But the question is when do Toyota Vitz enter Malaysian automotive market, and how much is the OTR selling price…still in myth…?

    A great car coming to town in March 2006 people! Priced about RM80K+. Nice one for the chicks! I’m surely getting one.

    You may be dissapointed though.
    I saw on in Taipan already, it really didnt look as good as in the picture above. Toyota supporter may like this car though. I hope they can have a CKD version of this instead of CBU to enjoy better price.

    I saw a black unit, outside of Suzuki showroom in Taipan Businesspark, Subang. The unit is labeled as TOYOTA WALD. A modified with bodykit version.

    February 24, 2006 @ 4:20 am

    [...] The new car will be a CBU model, and it will be a small-sized car. It could be the Toyota Aygo, but rumours are that it’s the Toyota Yaris, also known as the Toyota Vitz or the Toyota Belta. A bit of name confusion here, but let me clear it up for you. The Toyota Vitz is a little sporty hatchback while the Toyota Belta is a Vitz with a boot, recently launched in Japan. In other markets, the Toyota Yaris hatchback is the Toyota Vitz while the Toyota Yaris sedan is the Toyota Belta. They are available in 1.0 liter and 1.3 liter engine options. Photos of the sedan and hatch are in the image above. I’m not sure whether the sedan or hatch would be introduced here though. It’s likely the hatchback, as the sedan form with CBU tax brackets would probably cost near to the Toyota VIOS price range, and having two city sedans in that price range doesn’t make sense. [...]
