Review
When my dad's Vios COE was going to expire after 10 long years, we went searching for a new car. We loved the vios and went around to ask about it.
After finding out that BM wasn't going to carry anymore Vios, we went around asking what other cars were available.
Was recommended the Axio. The agent showed us the new model and I fell in love with it. The new facelift was awesome. Despite being a 1.5 car, it was so much more spacious than the Vios. We were given an upgrade to leather and sports rims, but we decided to do up the leather on a later date.
Car is spacious. Those who wish to know how spacious, you can get the yellow top taxi, most of that company uses Axio in their fleet. There is a lot of leg room that my family was really wondering if it really is a 1500cc car.
What I like
SPACIOUS!
Lots of leg room
So far so good the FC. Averaging ard 14-16km/l
What I do not like
Steering is a bit "light" as compared to Vios

Every time I look at a Corolla Axio, I can't help but notice that it looks very timid, tired and dated. It was a pleasant surprise to see this new facelift of the Axio.
At first look, the new Axio features extensive exterior and interior styling upgrades. The Axio appears to have put on its big boy pants and is ready to contend against its bigger brother, the Allion.
If you're in the market for something sportier and more aggressive then please look away. However, if what you want is something really bang for buck, practical and reliable, then please continue.
What I like
- Refreshed outlook
- Improved fuel efficiency
- Toyota Safety Sense C package
- Genuine leather for the steering wheel and shift knob
- Stop & Start System
- Newly-developed 1.5-liter 2NR-FKE engine
What I do not like
- Suspension is a little soft for my liking
- Lack of Bluetooth connectivity
Review
Had this car for about a week now, so would like to write some comments on it.
Love this car! My previous car was the Axio 1.5X, so in the 2015 edition, there is definitely some major improvements. Pick up is certainly much better, and my mechanic was saying that Corolla FINALLY had a new engine. In engineering terms, it now uses the Atkinson cycle instead of the Otto cycle, which results in even higher efficiency. Read: They boast fuel economy of 23.4 km/l.

What I like
In general the drive train is very pleasant. Engine noise at low rev is much reduced; the higher compression ratio gives it much better power.
But I am most excited about is The safety sense C which ONLY the AXIO 2015 boasts. On board the car is a laser radar and a camera just above the rear view mirror. Main features are:
1. Pre-crash safety system: It detects the car ahead of you, and either brake assist to slow you down, or stop the car if a collision imminent.
2. Lane departure alert: Warns you if you are going out of lane. In some countries, high wind speeds can cause cars to go out of lane. In Singapore, well, we have drivers who talk when they are driving. You get the drift.
3. Automatic high beam: lowers your high beam when there is an incoming vehicle.
4. Preceding vehicle starting announcement function: alerts when the car ahead of you has moved off when your vehicle is stationary.

What I do not like
1. Steering is still a little light, especially at high speeds.
2. Wind noise at speeds above 90 very noticeable.
