The new Toyota Vios that recently made its debut in Thailand is not here yet, but the popular current model gets a new colour – White Pearl CS. The pearly white hue is an RM800 option for higher spec variants Vios 1.5 TRD Sportivo, Vios 1.5G Limited and Vios 1.5G.
White Pearl CS (CS stands for Crystal Shine) is in addition to Deep Amethyst Mica Metallic, Silver Metallic, Medium Silver Metallic (a greyish colour) and Attitude Black. E and J variant buyers can continue to opt for Solid White. The current Vios range is priced from RM72,417 to RM92,027.

Business as usual.
All fine and good but when kena knocked or want to touch up paint, will it be hard to find a paint shop that stocks these ‘non standard’ colours?
no worries, the kind of people who buys these things would obviously want to be noticed so they would paint it bright pink or orange yellow next time.
id rather have a bone stock vios without ricer kit on it. no thanks
I’d rather have a saga than an outdated overpriced vios.
UMW is a pariah company. Instead of giving all these stupid paint jobs, give us VSC. VSC saves lives and the Vios has no VSC. Even the Honda City has VSC. As seen in the Camry, adding VSC is hardly RM1000, so why can’t they give us VSC? Yes, UMW, like what they did to the Camry, try to cut cost at the expense and detriment of our lives. Do you want to buy any car from a company with bad ethics like this? They have complete zero regard for our lives and you pay them RM80,000 in support of such a company!
Booked a current Vios recently because the new model doesn’t have any change in spec. Only cosmetic change.
The cosmetic change is one of the major reason you should wait for a new Vios.
The thing is now I can get a Vios for below RM80k but maybe when the new model rolls in, the price will increase to RM85k with same spec but new design. I rather save the few thousands for house installment unless the new models comes with new spec that worth considering.
U r one smart ass! I thumb up for u!! Jus a god damn car anyway.. a prettier new vios is still a vios right! better buy another 55in plasma with the savings!
I think upcoming Vios is much better just because 1 reason. They finally managed to placed the meter cluster in the right place. Else, meh, you possibly just want a transport when you buy a Vios.
then don’t buy lor, buy almera better cheaper
The new 2013 Vios will be cheaper because of the revised NAP taxes. The Almera is the first to benefit from the latest revision. Cheapest Almera costs only RM66.8k. Even the most expensive version costs RM79.8k. The Almera is still cheaper than the old, ageing Vios. Might as well buy the Almera lah, if you really think RM5k is ‘too much’.
NAP? It’s been napping for over 10 years, don’t think it’ll wake up for another 5 years.
Just buy the car if you need it, don’t really need to think whether if it comes or not. Else you’ll end up with no car for a long long time.
Vios, why don u just get a Almera? both same Dugong face with ugly interior but Almera is newer than the Vios!
you do know when the new model is launched your current model RV will instantly drop by a percentage, right?
buy elantra…looks 10 times much better
OMG…Agreed. bcos the current model was damn ugly. Paying for a 5 yrs old design was not worth.better wait a while for the new design.
Is it true that the car prices will drop?
I know how Toyota can fight Proton Saga FLX: Let Perodua rebadge the Etios from Toyota India.
Since Preve was aiming for Vios, City sales then this Perodua new sedan Etios rebadge will finally bury Proton out of competition just like how Alza (Toyota Passo Sette/Daihatsu Boon Luminas) kicked out Exora in sales.
Perodua wins, Toyota laughing, Proton edge closer to bankruptcy. Sweet victory for rakyat too!!! Hi Hi Ho Ho Ha Ha He He
I dont think there will be victory. Rakyat will be losers because we’re forced to drive Peroduas then.
We are the looser in the Whole Wide World. Even Indon get to drive the real badge of Daihatsu (Myvi). You are expecting a price up after the GE 13? Are we for real instead of getting a price drop?
I never compare Proton Preve with City or Vios. To me those two cars demonstrate half go- kart feeling drive. The drive, handling and comfort of a Preve is simply beyond comparison. Not even an Altis or Civic can match.
Then Preve should be compared to Porsche and Ferrari but not the City or Vios. much cheaper but better handling!
Preve should be compared with conti cars in same segmnent, not with Japs or Koreans
Do not make Peter Schreyer laugh lah kawan
Italdesign tu orang Jepun ke? I laugh back at you
Sudah-sudah la tu Toyota, berapa kali mau pakai gear sama enjin sama, body je lain
Yes I agree too.
That’s why in Australia Proton Preve sales very rare, lower than Lamborghini there…
That’s how ‘exclusive’ Preve in the eyes of smart Australian car buyers…
…after someone kena halau?
I don’t understand why Proton wants to compare Preve against Vios/City? Preve based on the length is already a C segment whereas Vios/City is B segment. Just becoz pricewise is comparable? More suitable comparison would be against Civic/Altis.
I think Proton should compare to both…
CT/Vios interm of spec and Altis/Cvc intermm of price…
Booooringggg
Pure White looks good on few cars, BMW 5er, jaguar XF/XJ, Rolls Royces. Closer to cars that common joes can afford, most Hondas and Kias looks good in white. As long as the car has a clean, sharp design, white should be able to properly define the straight lines on said cars; making the overall appearance more angelic and clean.
The Dugong-Vios is not one of those cars, and definitely doesn’t justify the price hike. Personally, if u Absolutely need a sedan around that price and in white? Get a City FL or a Forte. Or at least wait for the new Vios, the improvement in the looks department alone justifies the wait.
City FL in white is pretty nice.
PDRM car in white also look ‘nice’. Once you see one in-front automatically will make you decelerate from 180kmj to 80kmj!
Stock clearance! new vios coming in Sept.
meanwhile in Toyota marketing department, “Hmm… How should we clear old stock and milk more money from our naïve customers. How about we paint it pearl white and called with fancy name!”
Continue to be best seller for 6 more month.
Genius!
who cares?
peoples fooled by that.. rejoice..!!
i smell stock clearance before new vios surface in our market!!!
same ol’ toilet bowl but got new colour *h*t..
This is like NASI GORENG X 100 kal tambah ikan masin… Masih Nak Goreng… talk about ubah
These are actually leftover stock from Thai market which are dumped in Msia, repainted and sell at higher price..
i think if anyone here work in toyota, they would think differently. besides, i don’t think toyota even bothers reading this site!
still dugong..
bila mau turun harga kereta?
perhaps UMW can equip dual vvT-i engine on new vios..
mana akujanji nak turun harga kereta??????
change that car and roll out new one la…. don’t use the clear stock tactic, damn it!
TOYOTA VIOS WHITE PEARL CS
CS NOT CLEAR SHINE, ITS CLEAR STOCK! LOLS
MY LAME
for stock clearance shud b give special discount not like this.
they can do this bcoz their cars got demand unlike…
Why do we always allow the manufacturers to profit from this so called “special” paint? Do they really incur additional cost for this “special” paint? I just bought 2014 Kia Cerato/Forte K3 in Saudi with Snow White Pearl color and I did not have to pay anything extra. In fact all the car dealers price their car same whether it is solid, metallic, or pearl. The only price difference is on the trim/equipment level.
any official date for the new vios to launch in Malaysia?
New vios lunching 5/10/2013
This colour can added more hp
