Manila Standard On The Road recently had a first taste of the new Toyota Ativ (pronounced “ey-tiv”) ahead of its launch later this month. Basically, the newest iteration of the Toyota Vios, the Ativ will come with a hybrid option, as Toyota Motor Philippines finally adds a B-segment sedan to their electrified lineup. With four new variants of the Ativ to be made available, it is set to, however, replace only the top-tier or 1.5L variants of the Vios. Set for its nationwide unveiling this October 24, the initial price list are as follows: 1.5 HEV CVT 2T PC* – P1,208,000; 1.5 HEV CVT 2T – P1,198,000; 1.5 G CVT PC* – P1,084,000; 1.5 G CVT – P1,069,000; 1.3 E CVT PC* – P995,000; 1.3 E CVT – P980,000; 1.3 E M/T PC* – P931,000; 1.3 E M/T – P916,000.
