Haima 2 1.5 ASG C-Sport Hatchback AT (2015) vs Toyota Vios 1.3 E CVT (2016)

Haima 2 1.5 ASG C-Sport Hatchback AT (2015) vs Toyota Vios 1.3 E CVT (2016): which should you buy?

For a Filipino buyer looking for the best value and practicality, the Haima 2 1.5 ASG C‑Sport Hatchback offers a clear advantage over the Toyota Vios 1.3 E CVT. At ₱749,000 it is ₱92,000 cheaper than the Vios while still delivering a higher peak power of 105 PS versus 99 PS and a slightly larger torque figure (140 Nm vs. 123 Nm). The Haima’s hatchback body gives more cargo flexibility with a longer wheelbase (3918 mm) and an extra door, making it more suitable for families or those needing to haul larger items. Both cars share a 100,000 km/3‑year warranty and FWD layout, but the Haima’s 6‑speed manual transmission may appeal to drivers who prefer a more engaging drive and potentially lower maintenance costs. The Vios, while slightly larger (4410 mm) and a sedan, offers a more refined interior and CVT for smoother city driving but at a higher price. Thus, if budget, power, and cargo space are top priorities, the Haima is the recommended choice; if a sedan profile and CVT comfort are more important, the Vios remains viable despite its higher cost.
