Toyota Vios will sport both a petrol as well as a diesel engine under the hood. A 1.4-litre, four cylinder diesel mill will produce 67.04 horsepower, along with 170 Nm of peak torque. The sedan will also feature a 1.5-litre four cylinder petrol engine, which will generate 107.4 horsepower and 141 Nm of torque.

The Japanese manufacture will be launching its Vios sedan in a tough market. It will have to compete with established contenders like Honda CIty, Maruti Suzuki Ciaz, Hyundai Verna and Volkswagen Vento. Toyota currently does not have a vehicle on offer in the C-Sedan segment.
