Toyota Limo

The Toyota Limo is an automobile offered by Toyota in Southeast Asian markets designed for taxicab use, primarily in Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. It is a robust low cost, low maintenance variant designed specifically for taxi fleet, with longer service intervals that may be yearly or every 100,000 kilometres (62,000 mi). It is essentially a scaled-down variant of the base model Vios and Corolla that lacks any extra equipment. It still retains the same engine of either the Vios or Corolla, but with a specially tuned ECU for more fuel efficient and economical use and softer suspension for comfort.

Vios-based Limo edit

The Vios-based Limo is commonly used as a regular taxi by various taxi firms in Indonesia. Like the Vios for private use, the Limo is also powered by the 1.5-liter 1NZ-FE petrol engine.

Prior to the introduction of the Vios in 2003, most taxicabs in Indonesia use a scaled-down version of the Soluna, the Southeast Asian variant of the Tercel. Other cars used of its time includes the second-generation Ford Laser, first-generation Hyundai Accent and Kia Sephia (known in Indonesia as Bimantara Cakra and Timor S5).
