The Toyota Wigo has always been one of the most popular entry-level hatchbacks in Asian markets, especially in countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, and other emerging markets. Known for its affordability, compact design, and reliable performance, the Wigo has served as a practical family car and a perfect choice for first-time buyers. Now, with the upcoming Toyota Wigo 2025, the Japanese automaker is all set to bring a refreshed design, improved features, and better fuel efficiency, while keeping the car budget-friendly.
Exterior Design of Toyota Wigo 2025
The Wigo 2025 is expected to carry a sportier look compared to its predecessor. Toyota has worked on sharper lines, a bold front grille, and sleeker LED headlamps with DRLs. The hatchback will also receive redesigned alloy wheels, sportier bumpers, and dual-tone color schemes to attract young buyers.
At the rear, the car will come with stylish LED tail lamps, a spoiler, and a more aerodynamic stance. Despite being a compact car, the Wigo will still maintain a strong road presence for its segment.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, the Toyota Wigo 2025 is expected to offer a more premium feel compared to the outgoing model. A modern dashboard design, improved fabric upholstery, and a larger infotainment system will enhance the driving experience. The infotainment unit will likely support Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, making it more appealing to tech-savvy users.
The cabin will also feature enhanced storage spaces, adjustable seats, power windows, and improved legroom for passengers. Toyota aims to keep the Wigo comfortable for both city drives and occasional long trips.
Engine and Performance
The 2025 Wigo will likely continue with its efficient 1.0L 3-cylinder petrol engine, tuned for better fuel economy and smoother city performance. There are also speculations about Toyota introducing a 1.2L engine option for higher trims to provide more power for highway driving.
Transmission options are expected to include a 5-speed manual and a CVT automatic, catering to both budget-conscious buyers and those who prefer convenience.
Mileage and Efficiency
Fuel efficiency has always been one of Wigo’s strongest points. The Toyota Wigo 2025 is expected to deliver around:
- 1.0L engine – 22–24 kmpl
- 1.2L engine – 20–22 kmpl
These figures make it one of the most fuel-efficient hatchbacks in its category, giving it an advantage over competitors like Suzuki Alto, Hyundai i10, and Kia Picanto.
Safety Features
Toyota has also upgraded the safety package in the Wigo 2025. Expected safety features include:
- Dual Airbags
- ABS with EBD
- Rear Parking Sensors
- Rearview Camera
- Hill Start Assist (in automatic variants)
- Vehicle Stability Control
These upgrades will make the Wigo safer for families and align with Toyota’s global safety standards.

The Toyota Wigo 2025 is expected to be priced competitively, keeping in mind its target market.
- Expected Price in Philippines: ₱600,000 – ₱750,000
- Expected Price in Indonesia: Rp 160 million – Rp 200 million

With its modern design, better fuel economy, enhanced features, and safety improvements, the new Wigo will continue to appeal to first-time buyers, students, and families looking for a reliable budget hatchback.
