Toyota Axio Hybrid Owners

[fezan.x]

Bro I don't own Fielder Hybrid, but I own Axio Hybrid
Both cars are identical,
Same wheelbase, same engine, same suspension, car is 100% same from drivers perspective.
Only difference is Axio has form of Sedan and Fielder is hatchback, based on personal preference some people prefer sedans other hatchback, I believe in some practical situations Fielder will outnumber Axio in convenience because it has practically more space.
I never drove 11th Gen 1.6 Altis, but I'm sure axio/fielder has a better pick up because of electric motors (almost instantaneous torque). Suspension is very soft (it is actually Japanese variant of 11th Gen corolla), offers more safety features, climate control is in all variants,so overall it has more to offer.
I feel Pakistani corolla is more spacious and wide so it has its own benefits,
Axio/Fielder is more fuel efficient for city drives also on highways I got remarkable figures.
Main disadvantage is ground clearance, with 3 people on rear seats it touches the dangerous speed brakes of our roads(Inatalling spacers will resolve it)
Also JDMs are not good for resale value, if you are planning to change cars more frequently then JDM should not be your car. (unless it is vitz or Mira)
Dont hesitate to ask if you have any other queries.
Thanks

Thanks for the detailed reply. I think hybrid low resale factor depends on fuel prices. Fuel prices are affordable these days, once petrol jumps to over 100/liter, hybrid demand will increase.

I pray that fuel prices remain low, it's a benefit for everyone.

Looking at a car with keys but has climate control
Any clue if it will have immobiliser ???

[hash4u]

i hardly get any help back from this forum

Only keyless push start models have immobilizer in them

[fezan.x]

Push Start in Hybrid G for sure have Immobilizer, I'll check about the key version.
I think Hybrid G had Immobilizer (in not sure though, I need to confirm it)
Push Start is optional whether it's a G variant or not.

[hash4u]

i confirmed and then posted
key versions do not have immobilizer
they can start with any metal key

[khanikrama1993]

Only G package has immobilizer, and push start

[khanikrama1993]

Key versions doesn't have immobilizer

[fezan.x]

Push Start is optional feature.
What about those cars with G variant but Key Start?

[hash4u]

like i said
only push start version has immobilizer
i checked with someone who makes keys and duplicate immobilizer remotes for a living

[fezan.x]

Thanks for informing bro, but i still think that all G variants have Immobilizer (let us check)

Hi All,

How is the ground clearance of Axio G hybrid 2014?
I heard even a single person sits on rear seats it gives issues?

[fezan.x]

With 15" rims, ground clearance is an issue. Not tried with but 16" rims, but it must be better with that.
I installed Spacers in rear suspension, it improved the ground clearance which is a relief.

[aliammar]

But spacers effect the comfort level of the car. Right? What's other negatives are there for spacers?

[fezan.x]

Well spacer is not a good thing, but our road conditions make it essential for us to use them.
About comfort,:
In order to enjoy the car don't install spacers in front. Only install in rear suspension. It will not effect comfort to an extreme level, however you might feel some bumps when rear seats are empty.
I have 3 JDMs, only Axio has spacers (other 2 are Mira es and Passo)
Bottom line: for safe and comfortable use of your ride, install spacers in rear suspension only there is no need to install in front.

Thanks for the feedback.

Aoa.
I'm planning to buy axio hybrid, currently I have aqua and its a wonderful machine..
Anyone here who has driven both tell me if axio hybrid is worth buying, keeping in mind I have a car with same hybrid tech and engine. Axio is spacious, anything apart from this???
Acceleration is better than aqua?
Economy better than aqua??
Maintenance??
Parts availability?

Guys i have a 14 corolla fielder hybrid, it does not uses the EV mode during the drive. The battery charges properly and discharges okay too. Also when the car is at a complete stop the EV mode comes on after long time. Did get the CVT oil change but it has no difference. Also once i lift my foot off the accelerator while driving on 2k RPM it goes up to 3k RPMs and making a very loud sound slowly drops down and stays at 1k RPMs.
It was driving okay and giving me a mileage of 21 km/l to a minimum of 18 km/l. But all of the sudden it has changed and giving an average of 11km/l to 12km/l.

Axio has immobilizer in all variants...
