Toyota Wigo: Same Price, Other Options
The Toyota Wigo has been a stable fixture in the local automotive scene. Itâs the Japanese car manufacturerâs entry-level five-door compact hatchback offering geared towards many of todayâs young professionals looking for a reliable city car. Having found its place on the market, itâs been one of Toyotaâs best-selling vehicles ever since.
Suzuki Celerio
Priced from â±558,000 to â±598,000, the Suzuki Celerio makes for another solid option for those looking for a five-door compact hatch. This city car offers decent looks with relatively decent features to match. It may not look as sporty as the face-lifted Toyota Wigo but comes with Suzukiâs Total Effective Control Technology (TECT) that offers a high-rigidity, low-weight frame made from high-tensile materials.
Suzuki Philippines Incorporated outfits the Celerio with its own K10B engine, which is found in many other compact cars manufactured by Suzuki.
Kia Picanto
The Kia Picanto is another five-door compact hatchback marketed towards yuppies living within the Metro. While the Suzuki Celerio comes with TECT, the Kia Picanto offers the same level of safety with its own Advanced High-Strength Steel (AHSS) and Hot-Stamped Steel technology, creating better impact absorption in the event of a collision keeping you and your passengers safe in city driving conditions which we find is pretty standard in vehicles in this segment.
Honda Brio
Arguably the best-looking car in this list, the all-new Honda Brio shares the same five-door compact hatchback build as other cars on this list. However, what separates it from other city cars under â±600,000 is its looks. The Honda Brio offers a face-lifted look that rivals that of the Toyota Wigo and just as well even best it. It looks more like a compact sports car rather than a vehicle made for city commute.
Not taking any sides here but the Honda Brio offers a more powerful 1,199cc gasoline engine thatâs paired with Hondaâs Programmed Fuel Injection (PGM-FI), befitting of the engineâs SOHC i-VTEC lineage. The engine alone is enough of a reason to buy the Honda Brio 1.2 S MT at â±598,000. Its five-speed manual transmission makes for smooth shifting driving in and out of the city and satisfies both beginners and advanced car enthusiasts alike with its obviously better pull performance and nimble handling.
