Vios 1.5G uses Toyota's 2nr-fe in-line four-cylinder engine with EFI (electronic fuel injection), dual VVT-i and exhaust manifold integrated in the cylinder head to reduce emissions.
EFI is a system that precisely controls the amount of fuel injected into the cylinder according to the mass air flow sensor (MAF), which determines how much air enters the engine at any given time. This improves cold and hot start performance, provides the best air / fuel mixture for starting, and allows better atomization from fuel injection than from the carburetor.
The working principle of the dual VVT-i is to adjust the timing on the intake and exhaust camshaft so that the engine can start and stop almost unconsciously under minimum compression. It can also quickly heat the catalytic converter to reach the light off temperature, thus significantly reducing hydrocarbon emissions.
The power take-off is 105 HP and 140 nm of torque is sent to the CVT or the five-speed manual transmission (MT).
Optitron meters are standard. It is a color LED system that provides backlighting for the instrument panel, making it easier for the eyes to see.
The climate control system also features a 7-inch touch screen display as standard with CD + MP3 + weblink for IOS and Android + Bluetooth + USB + aux in. Audio is sent to six speakers.
It has a leather wrapped steering wheel and audio control and steering column that is tilt adjustable, and is equipped with EPS (electric power steering system). Since it does not use power from the engine to turn the vehicle, it is more fuel efficient than the hydraulic system.
The trim with CVT is equipped with shift paddles, eco driving mode and Sport driving mode.
Both the CVT and the five speed MT have leather wrapped gear levers and knobs, a push to start system, and a light control system with "follow me home". Modern "power" features include power windows with anti-jam protection on the driver's side window and speed sensitive power door locks, as well as electrically adjustable and electrically retractable side mirrors.
