Over in Indonesia, the Toyota Agya – and presumably its twin, the Daihatsu Ayla – is set to get a facelift, four and a half years after it first surfaced at the 2012 Indonesian International Motor Show (IIMS).
The little hatchback – which falls under the workings of the country’s low-cost green car (LCGC) programme – will be getting a number of changes for its mid-cycle refresh. Our friends at Autonetmagz.com have managed to get their hands on a leaked copy of the specifications, showing the new elements that will find their way on.
The big news is the introduction of the 1.2 litre 3NR-FE four-cylinder engine for the car. The mill, which is seen on the Toyota Calya (and Daihatsu Sigra) in the republic, develops 80 PS and 104 Nm in its non-VVT-i form, and 88 PS and 108 Nm in its Dual VVT-i variation.
Both the Agya and Ayla will continue with the existing 1.0 litre 1KR-FE three-cylinder mill (on the Daihatsu, known as the D26F), which has 65 hp and 87 Nm for output numbers. Drivetrain choices should remain untouched, a five-speed manual and four-speed auto being the available units.
The Agya is currently available in three variant forms, the medium Grade E, high Grade G and the TRD S, and that looks to carry on unchanged.
All but one of the listed items in the leaked image concern exterior embellishments, led by new smoked projector headlights, complete with a LED guide strip and an auto cut-off feature. New LED rear lights are standard across the range, and aside from the Type E, the Agya range will get a new side mirror assembly, complete with turn signal lights.
Models equipped with the 1.2 litre engine will be equipped with a new 14-inch alloy wheel as well as a new two-DIN audio head unit, which features Bluetooth. Finally, the range-topping TRD S variant will get a new aerokit (front and rear splitters, as well as side skirts) as part of the revision work.
No referencing as to whether all these changes will find their way on to the Ayla, which is available in the republic in three trim levels, the entry-level Type D, medium specification Type M and range-topping Type X.
Judging by the presence of the brochure, the Agya facelift will be unveiled soon, and it’s very likely that it will make its debut at the event where it was first introduced, the IIMS – the 2017 edition of the show takes place next month.

Ada Gaya Takda Mutu
A Diffrent Kind of Perodua Axia…..
This car is not going to make it big at all. Fiat has a booster jet, polo has a tsi, Peugeot has the top. what Toyota has? Dual vvti, wow. Cvt gearbox, wow. Bear in mind that just recently the flagship Camry was upgraded from a 4 speed auto to a 6 speed. And the Altis uses the rubber band effect 7 speed cvt. Toyota even had to use BMW engines. No wonder, the sales are dwindling here.
hate to tell u that 1kr-fe (for ayla & agya) won best international engine of the year (for sub 1.0 engine) in 2007,2008,2009 and 2010.
sales are dwindling here..but in 2016 still one of the top 3 biggest car maker in the world (alongside GM and VW)
u just have to read more.simple
The problem here is UMW.
In USA,the camry is the best passenger car 15 years in a row.
Here,Honda has overtaken them by leaps and bounds.
UMW…a GLC very badly run.Why?They own 38 percent of perodua. Almost 40 percent Perodua profits goes to them.So,why bimbang what Honda Malaysia is doing? Rilax…..just goyang kaki.Lets go cun cun amoi urut.
Correction, next Agya and Ayla will be introduce with 1.2 3NR-VE dual VVT-i like sigra and calya, and 1.0 version is 1KR-VE VVT-i like Bezza
I still don’t understand Agya is suppose LCGC that have tax break but the price of Agya is not much different with Axia in bolehland that don’t have LCGC program. Plus Agya has less spec than Axia.
Oh that can be explained according to their logic.
Its cuz, this side G that somehow or other managed to influence that side G to raise A prices so that it dun make this side G look so bad.
Just remember this: #BasherLogicTakdeLogic.
Malaysia is under EEV program bro.. LCGC is Indonesia Program..
But according to ur basher pals, it shud be 19k MAX only…
I know.. Axia fall under EEV category n get some tax break. I tot Agya price will fall even lower in LCGC since the spec of highest Agya is lower than mid spec Axia currently.
pojector? no proofreader for the brochure?
Indon bro
Indon or not, but notice they seem not to have an issue in using BOTH Bahasa and English in the same presentation.
I dun see the problem. Here oso some brochure use dwi-bahasa as well but most seen is Ingland.
