In a recent video, he shared practical reasons behind the growing love for the compact vehicle, especially among young professionals, ride-hailing drivers and first-time car owners.
According to Premario Editions, one major reason the Toyota Vitz stands out is that many of the units imported into Ghana are Hybrid models.
He explained that the Hybrid system is what truly makes the difference.
Premario Editions said Vitz demands less fuel
Unlike traditional engines that rely fully on fuel, Hybrid cars combine fuel with electric power.
This system helps reduce fuel consumption significantly, which is a big relief for drivers in a country where fuel prices continue to rise.
He further noted that when people talk about fuel-efficient cars, they are mostly referring to Hybrid vehicles.
The Toyota Vitz Hybrid, in particular, uses less fuel because the electric motor supports the engine, especially during slow driving in traffic.
In cities like Accra and Kumasi, where traffic can be heavy, this becomes a major advantage.
Beyond fuel savings, the Toyota Vitz is also known for being easy to maintain and affordable to service.

Spare parts are widely available, and many mechanics in Ghana are familiar with the model.
Its compact size also makes it easier to navigate through tight streets and busy urban areas.
For many Ghanaian drivers, the Toyota Vitz offers a balance between affordability, reliability and fuel efficiency.
As Premario Editions puts it, the Hybrid system is the real game changer. That is why the Toyota Vitz continues to dominate as one of the most used cars in Ghana today.
