Toyota Veloz PH launch to happen on April 29
Teasers and speculations on the upcoming local launch of the Toyota Veloz have been all over the internet these past few days and one of the biggest questions is when will it be launched?
Well Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) is no longer staying quiet as they have just announced that their new “subcompact SUV” will be in Philippine showrooms on April 29, 2022, with reservations starting on April 23.
“The upcoming introduction of the All-New Veloz marks another milestone for Toyota in the Philippines,” said Sherwin Chualim, TMP’s First Vice President for Vehicle Sales Operations. “Previously known as the top grade variant of the Avanza compact MPV range, the Veloz has evolved to become a new standalone brand ready to claim its position as a sub-compact SUV of choice for customers seeking new adventures.“
They’ve also somewhat announced pricing which will start at Php 1,185,000. This matches reports from other automotive media outlets which mentioned that there will be two variants, the 1.5 G CVT and 1.5 V CVT with the former priced at Php 1.185M and the latter at Php 1,225,000.
Also mentioned in their reports, the Toyota Veloz will be available with four color choices which are White Pearl, Purplish Silver Mica Metallic, Black Metallic, and Dark Red Mica Metallic.
Expect to find the same 1.5-liter 2NR-VE naturally-aspirated petrol engine as the Avanza under the hood. This should be good for 105 horsepower and 138 Nm of torque, paired to a continuously variable transmission (CVT).
We’ll have to wait for more additional information regarding specifications and official pricing but we won’t have to wait long as again, the launch will happen on April 29 which will also be streamed on TMP’s official social media pages.
Likewise, customers who want to see the all-new Veloz in the metal may do so after the launch as it will be displayed at the BGC Amphitheater from April 29 to May 1, 2022, and also in their nearest Toyota dealership starting on April 29.
