Description
Performance & Technical Specs
The 161-series Axio relies on a modern hub assembly designed for fuel efficiency and safety:
-
Low Rolling Resistance: Optimized internal ball-bearing geometry reduces friction, contributing to the Axio’s signature fuel economy.
-
ABS Compatibility: The hub includes the necessary magnetic encoder required for the Axio’s Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD).
-
Load Rating: Specifically weighted for the E160 chassis, ensuring stability even under a full load of passengers.
. Compatibility List
The Model 161 hub is shared across several Toyota platforms from the same era:
| Model | Series/Chassis | Year Range |
| Toyota Axio | NZE161, NRE161, NKE165 | 2012 – Present |
| Toyota Fielder | NZE161G, NRE161G, NKE165G | 2012 – Present |
| Toyota Aqua | NHP10 | 2011 – 2021 |
| Toyota Vitz | KSP130, NSP130, NCP131 | 2010 – 2019 |
| Toyota Ractis | NSP120, NCP120 | 2010 – 2016 |
. Recommendation for Installation
Since the 161 series uses a sealed hub assembly for the rear and a press-in or bolt-on for the front (depending on the specific axle), ensure you are purchasing the correct side (Left vs. Right) and position (Front vs. Rear).
-
Front Axle: Typically requires a 30mm or 32mm 12-point socket for the drive shaft nut.
-
Rear Axle: Usually a complete 4-bolt hub unit that is significantly easier to DIY.
