A few days ago, Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP)just launched the newest generation of the Toyota Wigo.
First introduced in 2014, this affordable car is the first choice among new car owners for it provided the local market a wider variety when it comes to entry-level hatchbacks without having to compromise on features.

The all new 2020 Toyota Wigo—also known as the Agya in the Indonesian market—features a more aggressive and angrier-looking front added also the “Alteza-like” look for the projector halogen headlights. With redesigned interiors and new instrument cluster that also compliments the refreshed exterior of the vehicle. The Philippine arm for the Japanese automaker offers the new Toyota Wigo in four variants; a 1.0 E MT, a 1.0 G MT, a 1.0 G AT and the updated TRD-S AT.
Equipped with a 1.0-liter 3-Cylinder Engine capable of delivering 66 horsepower and up to 89 Nm of torque.

With a knob-type air conditioner, 2DIN audio system with features like basic radio, AUX, USB, CD and Bluetooth and a 3-Spoke Urethane Steering wheel minus the switches.
