Do all Vios variants have the same chassis?

[badkuk]

An officemate of mine argues that the 1.5L variant has a different, sturdier chassis than the 1.3L version. pareho lang for all variants right?

[telong75]

pare parehas lang siguro, sa suspension siguro may pagkakaiba kaya parang mas sturdy feel ng higher variant.

ang magkaiba ay yung 1st and 2nd gen

The driving feel difference might be the wheel/tire size difference. The 1.3L units have 14inch wheels while the 1.5L units have 15inch wheels.

And if you are going to ask if that "small" 1 inch difference has such a big effect, yes it can especially with tires with shorter sidewalls.

yes, all Vios/Belta variant same chassis

iba iba lang engine (1.3L 2NZ-FE, 1.5L 1NZ-FE, 1.6L 4ZR-FE) for different markets

why would Toyota use different chassis for 1.3 and 1.5?

baka naka 1.5 yung officemate, eh ayaw niya nasasabi ng iba na naka vios lang siya (taxi kasi)

so sinasabi niya sa mga tao iba ang chassis ng 1.5 sa 1.3

para mas angat siya sa taxi hehe

[tidus1203]

Pero mukha parin taxi kotse nya maskin ano sabihin mo!

Anyway, no they have the same body... Walang lamang yung 1.5 sa 1.3 in terms of body...

^ insecure siguro sir Uls. :doh:

baka eto rin yung nagsasabing 20km/liter konsumo sa Vios niya...

[coiter]

it doesn't make sense. e kung nagtipid nga Toyota sa different models (Innova, Fortuner at Hilux) by using a common platform, what more kung between trim levels lang ng Vios??

baka naman ang iniisip niya e yung added comfort ng G vs J/E. most likely difference ay lesser NVH due to added sound insulation, carpeting, softer suspension setting, heavier weight, etc. but definitely hindi magbabago ang chassis.

hahaha, baka nga, pero may guts tell me na hindi naman. Mukhang taga-province yun kaya baka maraming downhill. OT

exactly. kung pwede nga lang buong vehicle line up isang platform lang

a different chassis for 1.3 and 1.5 vios make no sense

sino niloloko niya?

Upgraded the stock 14" tire/rim combo of my in-law's 07 vios with 195/55R15s and there was a world of difference in driving feel and stability especially when you do a lot of highway driving.
