The Toyota Aqua has two distinct chassis generations in the Sri Lanka market, separated by a production gap and a Rs. 5–7 million price difference. The NHP10 (Gen 1, 2012–2021) averages Rs. 7.07M–9.63M depending on year of manufacture, while the MXPK11 (Gen 2, 2021–present) starts at Rs. 13.00M. Understanding which chassis you are actually buying — and why the price differs — is the single most important step before purchasing an Aqua in Sri Lanka.
Chassis Overview
| Chassis | Generation | Years | Engine | Drive | System Output |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NHP10 | Gen 1 | 2011–2021 | 1NZ-FXE 1,497cc inline-4 | FWD | 100 PS combined |
| NHP15 | Gen 1 | 2012–2021 | 1NZ-FXE 1,497cc inline-4 | E-Four 4WD | 100 PS combined |
| MXPK11 | Gen 2 | 2021–present | M15A-FXE 1,490cc inline-3 | FWD | 116 PS combined |
| MXPK16 | Gen 2 | 2021–present | M15A-FXE 1,490cc inline-3 | E-Four 4WD | 116 PS combined |
In Sri Lanka, NHP10 accounts for the overwhelming majority of listings. NHP15 (4WD) and MXPK16 are rare and command a premium. The NHW15 is occasionally mis-listed as NHP10 — check the title documents carefully if 4WD is important to you.
NHP10 (Gen 1) — Price by Year of Manufacture
The NHP10 uses the 1NZ-FXE 1,497cc inline-4 petrol engine paired with a permanent-magnet synchronous motor, delivering 100 PS system output. Toyota quoted 35.4 km/L (JC08 cycle); real-world Sri Lankan owners report 18–22 km/l in mixed driving. The nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery has a proven track record of longevity in tropical climates — original batteries on 2012–2015 units are often still functional.
| YOM | Listings | Avg Price | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2012 | 213 | Rs. 7.07M | Rs. 3.75M | Rs. 8.20M |
| 2013 | 680 | Rs. 7.34M | Rs. 6.15M | Rs. 8.65M |
| 2014 | 543 | Rs. 7.64M | Rs. 6.75M | Rs. 9.65M |
| 2015 | 457 | Rs. 8.31M | Rs. 6.75M | Rs. 9.90M |
| 2016 | 78 | Rs. 8.47M | Rs. 7.29M | Rs. 9.70M |
| 2017 | 40 | Rs. 8.60M | Rs. 6.97M | Rs. 10.00M |
| 2018 | 12 | Rs. 9.63M | Rs. 8.30M | Rs. 11.00M |
| 2019 | 7 | Rs. 11.76M | Rs. 11.60M | Rs. 11.97M |
The 2013 NHP10 stands out: 680 listings — three times the next best year — at an average of Rs. 7.34M. That listing depth means you have genuine choice and negotiating room. The 2019 NHP10 average of Rs. 11.76M is an anomaly driven by very low supply (7 listings); these units are often near-dealer condition with low mileage and command a premium that does not reflect daily-driver value.
The 2013–2015 NHP10 window is where 95% of rational Aqua buyers should be looking. The 2012 min of Rs. 3.75M represents outlier-flagged listings — the realistic floor for a roadworthy 2012 NHP10 is Rs. 6.15M or above.

NHP10 Grades Available in Sri Lanka
Gen 1 grades, from base to top: L → S → G across the entire 2011–2021 run. From December 2014, Toyota added the X-Urban and X-Urban Solid — a crossover-styled variant with raised suspension, roof rails, and larger bumpers. From May 2013, the G Black Soft Leather Selection special edition added black leather interior. The GS limited edition appeared in smaller batches.
For buyers: the difference between L and G is air conditioning control type, seat material, and sound system. Mechanically all NHP10 units share the same drivetrain — grade selection is a comfort and cosmetic choice, not a reliability choice.
MXPK11 (Gen 2) — Price by Year of Manufacture
The MXPK11 replaces the inline-4 engine with a M15A-FXE 1,490cc inline-3 — a fundamentally different architecture. System output rises to 116 PS combined. Critically, the X, G, Z, and GR Sport grades use a bi-polar nickel-metal hydride battery — a world-first technology that Toyota claims delivers 1.5× the output density of conventional NiMH. The base B grade uses a standard lithium-ion battery instead.
The GR Sport grade was added in November 2022, meaning any listing claiming "GR Sport" with a year of manufacture before 2022 is incorrect.
| YOM | Listings | Avg Price | Min | Max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 13 | Rs. 13.00M | Rs. 11.60M | Rs. 14.90M |
| 2024 | 13 | Rs. 14.84M | Rs. 12.75M | Rs. 16.75M |
| 2025 | 5 | Rs. 14.88M | Rs. 13.10M | Rs. 17.00M |
MXPK11 supply in Sri Lanka is thin — only 31 listings across three model years. The price spread within each year is wide, reflecting the grade difference (B grade base at Rs. 11.60M vs Z/GR Sport at Rs. 17.00M). If you are considering an MXPK11, always verify whether the unit is a B grade (Li-ion) or X/G/Z grade (bi-polar NiMH) — the battery type materially affects long-term running cost projections.
The Price Gap: NHP10 vs MXPK11
A 2013 NHP10 at Rs. 7.34M vs a 2023 MXPK11 at Rs. 13.00M represents a Rs. 5.66M premium for the Gen 2 chassis. That premium buys you: a newer inline-3 engine (16 PS more system output), the bi-polar NiMH battery (on X/G/Z grades), a fresher body with modern safety systems, and approximately 8–10 fewer years of depreciation risk ahead.
The NHP10 premium calculation runs the other way: at Rs. 7.34M, a well-maintained 2013 unit gives you a proven 12-year track record on Sri Lankan roads, established parts availability, and a known quantity for hybrid battery replacement costs. This is why the 2013 NHP10 remains Sri Lanka's most liquid Aqua.
Which Chassis Should You Buy?
- Budget Rs. 7M–8.5M: 2013–2015 NHP10. Best market liquidity, proven reliability, straightforward parts sourcing. The 2013 (Rs. 7.34M avg) has the deepest listing pool and the most negotiating room.
- Budget Rs. 8.5M–10M: 2016–2018 NHP10. Newer units with lower mileage, but supply is thin (12–78 listings per year). The 2018 at Rs. 9.63M is the last NHP10 year with reasonable supply.
- Budget Rs. 13M+: 2023–2025 MXPK11. Commit to X, G, or Z grade specifically to access the bi-polar NiMH battery. Verify the grade code carefully — the B grade at this price point offers less long-term value.
