Does the 1.5 Variant Automatic GEN1 and GEN2 Vios have the same engine?

[jpadua]

I think so... The gen1 and gen2 1.5 vios uses the 1NZFE VVTi engine. 

better if someone can confirm this...

yeah better to feed us some infos. 

i would also like to ask the 2 kinds of GEN1.
there's the one with rectangular shaped fog lamps and the circle one. whats the difference between the two, or what are the upgrades aside from the fog lamp and headlight?

[Patrick]

I think so... The gen1 and gen2 1.5 vios uses the 1NZFE VVTi engine.

Thats right Jay.

As for the Gen1, theres the facelifted version, so there's the 2004 and the 2006 version. the main difference is just the front bumper, so they have different sized grill, foglamps and headlights afaik.. but thats the only difference really noticable.. Car Generations last for 5 years each, and within those 5 years some changes or 'facelifts' are made, to change the 'taste' and 'feel' a bit. This applies to all Cars and makes, at least here in the Philippines hehe..

Hi all, is the 2010 vios should be the gen 2.5? anyone may somehow know if the existing body kits available here in the philippines will fit perfectly to this version? thanks in advance!

[jpadua]

Yes it will! the new 2010 vios is exactly the same.  The only difference in the appearance is the new grill,  and tail lamps. Other than that it's exactly the same as the 2007 model.

Available bodykits will fit perfectly

[topatokid]
