It’s official: The Toyota Vios GR-S will be launched in PH next week | TopGear PH

We were previously told by a trusted source that the GR-S’ new 10-speed CVT will become available here. And yes, just like in Malaysia, the nat-asp 1.5-liter four-banger producing 107hp and 140Nm of torque will also be retained here.

Question:

What would the new 10 speed CVT transmission do better than the older 7 speed Automatic?
Will it make the vios quicker of the line? faster? higher top speed? more economical?

Better fuel efficiency most likely. It will not make it quicker or faster with the anemic 1.5L NA engine still powering it.

maybe a bit increase in top speed, but not much.

Knowing Toyota, they wouldn’t do that. It would still sell very well anyway.

Sa Rush ginamit pa rin nila yang 1.5L engine na yan eh when a more powerful 1.6L or 1.8L engine would make it more appropriate for its size.

If you want a small car with much more zing, then look to another brand/model.

virtual gears lang yan. a CVT already has plenty of ratios to choose from, probably a thousand little steps. so a thousand virtual gears is better than 10

bragging rights, probably.
in today's crawling traffic, whatever advantages cvt presumably has, can't be shown off effectively enough..
