• Short video shows Toyota Vios reaching end of production run in Indonesia
• Plant operation could be gearing up for upcoming D92A Vios
• Indonesia assembles Vios for domestic and export markets

As the news heats up about the upcoming successor of the Toyota Vios, a video shared on the Mobilgue Instagram page suggests that the current Vios has reached the end of its production run in Indonesia.

However, the undated, and unverified video is best taken at face value as there has been no official announcement from Toyota Indonesia or its subsidiary, PT Toyota Motor Manufacturing Indonesia.

The approximately 10-second video shows a Vios body awaiting further assembly before the camera pans towards factory workers with a sign that reads “Thank you Vios”.

This leads us to believe that plant operation will soon gear towards the upcoming D92A all-new 2023 Toyota Vios which will be based on Daihatsu’s DNGA platform.

Toyota's plant in Indonesia assembles the Vios for both domestic and export markets. 

Expected to debut in Thailand soon, the D92A (following Daihatsu's chassis nomenclature) will replace the current NSP 151 Vios launched here in 2021.

Now the NSP 151 itself is a comprehensive update of the NCP 150 which was first introduced in 2013. Along the way, the model received a new engine and various other tech and safety updates to keep up with the competition.

Thus, the D92A is the first “Vios” in a long while to be developed from the ground up.

We also know that the 2023 Vios is co-developed by Perodua and their partner, Daihatsu, as the latter formed an internal company with Toyota.

The internal company is called Emerging Market Compact Car Company (EMCC) and they’re tasked with developing compact cars for the wider Toyota Motor group.

Toyota Thailand has confirmed that the D92A Toyota Vios is set for a debut on 9-August 2022. Indonesia will follow suit in due time so watch this space for more updates.

Arvind can't remember a time when he didn't wheel around a HotWheels car. This love evolved into an interest in Tamiya and RC cars and finally the real deal 1:1 scale stuff. Passion finally lead to formal training in Mechanical Engineering. Instead of the bigger picture, he obsesses with the final drive ratio and spring rates of cars and spends the weekends wondering why a Perodua Myvi is so fast.
