Vios 1.3 versus 1.5

[dr. d]

i have a question.
somebody asked me, which is the prefered vios, the 1.3 or the 1.5? MT or AT? preferably 2015.
the person says it is for two people inside, city driving, mostly. the impression i get is that he wants ease of use/driving, and cost efficiency.
i'm an innova person, so i don't know what to say.
a little help, please.
thanks.

Ease of use vs cost efficiency. . I would get the AT for the first factor. For a relatively new 5 yo car, I bet there won't be any major transmission repairs for the next few years.

Now for the cost efficiency factor, gaano kaya kalayo difference ng FC ng 1.3 over 1.5 sa city driving? I'm curious as well.

Personally among the choices, I would of course prefer the 1.5 AT budget permitting. But at 400+k, I can also get a ~2014 Altis CVT, which I would prefer even more. [emoji28]

The 2015 Vios still has the older engine though. So the 1.3 AT is said to be not as fuel efficient as advertised. If fuel efficiency is a priority, and he can afford to get a 2015 Vios 1.5, I would suggest the newer 2017 and up Vios 1.3 dual VVTi CVT instead for similar prices.

City car, AT ang boto ko. Lalo kung ito iyong bullet-proof na 4AT.

1.5G model mas okay since heavier itong Vios version, mas hindi hirap ang 1.5L na makina, labas mas tipid sa gas.

Not much difference in fuel consumption between models of a car with a 1.3L engine over a 1.5L engine. For small cars, the one with the bigger engine usually has better features.

For comparison, we had a 2009 City 1.5L and Jazz 1.3L before. Both were automatics and uses the same 91RON fuel and maintenance cost was the same. The Jazz was nearly a bare bones model compared to the City which was TOTL before. The City 1.5L was more fuel efficient, 9-10 km/L vs 8-9 km/L on city routes.

1.5 would be a good match for the size of the current Vios

*my reply is based on NOT seeing the actual car and NOT knowing/meeting the owners*

Magkaibang tao may ari ng 1.3 and 1.5 - obviously mas mahal yung 1.5

Pro 1.5
mas malaki yung chance na nasunod yung PMS nya
bigger engine means even if the loss of power due to normal wear and tear, baka same power lang sya ngayon when the 1.3 was new
better features/better interior materials than the 1.3

Pro 1.3
malaki yung chance na first time car owner, so iningatan ng husto yung car/malaki din yung chance na ginamit as PUV
smaller engine, if naka-idle both cars in traffic for an extended time, I'm sure mas matipid sya sa gas.
BUT (based on experience) if stop and go traffic, depende sa driver, minsan mas matipid yung 1.5
Ang daming gumamit ng 1.3 version ng Vios... so engine parts are easily available

1500cc is more comfortable/no hesitations and "bitin's" in highway/city drive during quick sprints and overtaking, everything else is similar and FC is negligible.

If I recall correctly, the generation of Vios being asked around year 2015, the more efficient one was actually the 1.5, even for city driving.

The Vios gen here bulked up but retained the 1.3 engine.

When the first gen Vios came here, the 1.3 was more than ample and it definitely was a fuel sipper. The main advantage of the 1.5 was the available power. Uncle owned a 1.5L first gen AT and that was a blast to drive. =)

But for the 2015 generation, best to opt for the 1.5L engine, be it in Manual or AT trim.

if its a 2015 and below, get the 1.5 engine. Preferably the automatic.

I had a 2014 vios 1.3 Manual. Fuel economy goes to barely 8km/li for regular city driving. Makati traffic will yield barely 5km/li.

Flip side i still have a 2003 vios 1.5 AT. Fuel economy is 11km/li upwards. Vios from 2003-2016 both share the same NZ family engine.

3rd gen vios has a heavier body. Said to have an additional 50kgs from its predecessor kaya malakas sa gas. For people who had 1st or 2nd gen vios, the resounding complain is malakas sa gas ang 3rd gen. Even toyota acknowledges this thats why they brought in a new engine with cvt that is kinda better mated to the body.

not that the 1.3 is a bad car pero for your purposes practically wala atang advantage ang 1.3 vios over the 1.5.

buying second hand price difference will probably be miniscule year for year. ang nakikita ko lang baka mas marami kang pag pipilian na 1.3 models over the 1.5 which is still not a bad thing

Yun actually di ko magets sa Vios gen na yan.
Kung 50kgs heavier lang yung gross vehicle weight compared to before, parang isang small build adult lang yun e. Hindi dapat ganun kalaki naging effect sa performance/fc kung yun lang nagbago.

Hindi pwedeng sabihin na sa weight lang yung reason ng penalty kung 50kgs difference. Malabo din dahil sa air resistance kasi below 60kph naman city driving.

Mechanical tuning siguru nung sinalpak nila sa 3rd gen body or may losses dahil humaba siya ng kaunti?

Parang anlabo talaga nung nangyari in that gen. Same sa 2008/2009 atlis na single vvti. Tumakaw din from first gen altis compared nung year 2001. Lumaki din body nung altis nun compared to previous gen, pero iba talaga tuning nila dahil yung response ng makina to throttle inputs parang humina tlga. Maybe due to emission standards na humigpit. Sinakal nila yung makina.

Paghalungkat sa mga lumang articles, the 1st gen weighs just 900+kgs, while the 3rd gen is heavier by over 100kgs.

Siguro may factor din nga yung shift to Euro 4 compliance, kaya mas nasakal.

Pansin ko lang po, price is about the same for 2015 1.5 (old engine + 4AT) and 2018 1.3 (new engine + CVT). Kung city driving lang madalas, siguro halos hindi mahalata ang power difference pero maappreciate ang fuel savings in the long run.

1.3 manual dual vvt-i ang gamit ko consisted naman siya sa 9km/L Mix driving, Ewan ko lang mas matipid daw ang single vvti pero go for 1.5 minsan kase mas matipid ang malaki engine displacement kase di hirap ang hatak especially pag punuan palagi

vios 2011 1.5g at gamit ko. okay na okay tlga
fuel consumption: 10-12 mixed, express 16km/L
walang k problema sa batak,
wala pang palya, low maintenance.

A/T for city driving convenience.

Vios 1.3 weighs the same as a vios 1.5. So the 1.3 engine will be more stressed compared to the 1.5, needs to rev up more than the 1.5 pulling the same weight. 1.5 will have less wear on the engine. 1.5 will also have better fuel economy that 1.3. This last may seem hard to believe but it is a proven fact already the bigger engine is more efficient pulling the same weight.
