LEADING mobility company Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has introduced the All-New Toyota ATIV, its latest offering in the subcompact sedan category. This latest subcompact sedan line includes TMP’s most affordable electrified model to date.
TMP complements the brand’s long-time player in the segment – the Toyota Vios. According to the company, the All-New Toyota Ativ is positioned to provide an ‘elevATIVe’ passenger car experience, especially with the inclusion of a Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) variant, TMP’s lowest priced electrified model to date.
TMP further claims that the All-New ATIV is designed to meet the evolving needs of Filipinos, catering to practical professionals and young families seeking their first or additional vehicle. The ATIV delivers elevated comfort, modern technology, and everyday practicality, reinforced with Toyota’s signature quality, durability, and reliability. The All-New Toyota ATIV is packed with features that truly matter for daily drivers: fuel efficiency, ease of maneuverability, modern safety features, and intelligent technology.
‘The All-New Toyota ATIV is another statement of Toyota’s continued mission to bring electrified mobility within reach of more Filipinos,’ shared Elijah Sue Marcial, Toyota Motor Philippines’ first vice president for Vehicle Sales Operations. ‘We know choosing your first car, and an electrified model at that, can be a bold decision, so the ATIV makes it simple and easy by delivering modern HEV features, while providing peace of mind with reliability, safety, ease of ownership, and joy of use,’ she added.
Now comes the HEV powertrain
