UMW Toyota has begun teasing the new Toyota Vios, and all that has been offered is a Facebook posting stating that the order books for the car will open on November 22. Given that this is a day before the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS) kicks off, it’s looking quite likely that the car will break cover at the show.
The new Vios is essentially the Yaris Ativ, the sedan version of the Yaris hatchback that’s sold in Thailand, but equipped with a larger displacement engine. In its Vios guise, the car has already made its market debut in Singapore and Indonesia, so its arrival here is well due.
While the Yaris Ativ has a 1.2 litre engine to comply with Thailand’s Eco Car rules, the Malaysian Vios will – like the Singapore and Indonesian versions – feature the familar 2NR-FE 1.5 litre Dual VVT-i mill that was introduced on the Vios in 2016, with the mill paired with a CVT with seven virtual ratios. There should likely be no revision to the output, which is 105 hp (or 107 PS) at 6,000 rpm and 140 Nm at 4,200 rpm.
No surprise as to the variants – ads on oto.my have popped up and reveal regular E and higher-spec G trims, with a suggestion of pricing being in the RM85k and RM91k region respectively. Official specifications haven’t been revealed, but the car seems quite well kitted out, based on that listed in the ads.
Supposedly, equipment on the E – which rides on 15-inch wheels – will include LED daytime running lights, auto air-conditioning, parking sensors and a 6.8-inch DVD-AVX infotainment system. There’s also mention of a blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert. Safety-wise, the Vios will come with seven airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and hill-start assist fitted as standard.
The Vios G adds LED tail lights, 16-inch two-tone alloy wheels, paddle shifters and an electrochromatic rear-view mirror, among other things. Also expected is a 4.2-inch multi-info display and an Optitron instrument cluster as well as a six-speaker audio system. We’ll have more info on the car when the time comes, and that should be pretty soon.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
it does look gorgeous. can’t wait to test drive. totally looks different.
Safety-wise Vios 7 airbags, ABS EBD VSC as standard
Wit engine from museum
hahahahahahaha
Somehow the Vios design does not stand out when compared to the Camry and Corolla design but it will continue to sell well here regardless especially with the upgrade kit list. Honda’s greatest rival is about to make a comeback in Malaysia after being trashed in sales for a few years now.
They only sell becoz of T badge and nothing else. When pipu starts comparing Jepunis within same price range, they nowadays go for City instead. Vios no more godcar liao
Pipu jz amazed of T badge reliable myth, cheap spare parts when they downgred from national car instead.
Camry, Altis n Vios moving forward!!
Salah. Camry n Altis moving forward, Vios moving backwards. Then it is correct
As usual,the pricing is super duper high…the standard practice of UMW…the premium price specialist.. Remember,UMW practice Rolls Royce pricing but only reward u with a Protong.With Zeti”s PNB calling the shots,never expect a cheap Toyota from UMW.Just impossible.
.
For our KWSP & safest B segmen car,all in UMW
The only two models that can sell now.vios and hilux…
Harrier 243k is pure stupid…
UMW is heading south for sure.
I will take that bet, if you dare. UMW won’t go south la.
True, but with only 2 models sellable, how will Toyota survive here?
True dat. Harrier shud sale from 143k ..
A bit much design wise. Previous generation looks wayy better.
Preve and Suprima looks wayy better weii.
Wah. Murah at 91k. Why not sell at 90k to 110k. Altis 120k to 150k. Camry 190k to 250k.
If same engine and only design shape change,better forget it,poor quality car
True dat!
That just means the car is not right for you only. Other ppl still need such a car.
Most pipu just need a safe, reliable car, other pipu just goes for the T badge and not look at how shitty the car is.
The definition of fugly
Finallyyyyy! Cant wait!
At last a car launch for the masses
Saw the car in Thailand and i must say that photos doesnt do this car justice
Major improvement to the interior it seems
Looking good!!
Is it me or does that blue look really good?
Honestly honda city look alot better than this new vios. Even previous vios look better than this new vios. For better fuel economy, go for City and City hubrid better.
Wow, as usual this will be a big hit. Everybody knows, Toyota is expensive but after using for 3 years, you still can sell your Vios for over RM50k despite buying it for RM75k for example.
So the new generation, mati mati also will buy Vios. They know good RV will matter when you are selling your car. The bank won’t ask you to top up your loan despite you paying every month for 36 months (3 years)
2019 Toyota Vios Price Rm75k (for example)
2019 Proton Preve Pice RM75k
3 years later you want to sell….
In 2022 your same Toyota Vios Price RM50k
In 2022 your same Proton Preve Rm26k
Then, like every Proton customer you ask yourself, “what have I been paying the past 36 months for? What for the bank ask me to top up Rm8k to my loan now?
2015 TOYOTA VIOS J SEDAN 1497, Market Value RM 41,000; Original Price RM 74,798
2015 PROTON PREVE LE SEDAN 1561, Market Value RM 38,900; Original Price RM 76,944
Actually all Toyota fanboi dreaming, no matter how u ostentation, after 3 years sell the car u still need top up few thousand to clear the car loan debt.
True Bro
U punya maklumat ti dak sah, jika ikut pasaran skrg, 3 tahun kemudian Toyota Vios masih kekal nilainya 54.8 peratus manakala Proton Preve masih kekal nilainya 50.5 peratus.
guna u punya harga anggaran, 3 tahun kemudian:-
2022 Toyota Vios harga dpt RM 41,100
2022 Proton Preve harga dpt RM 37,875
Based on this we know that Preve owners will keep their beloved rides for 5 years or more, meanwhile Vios owners cant wait to get rid off them after 3 years (if they survive that is).
wow too much different tu, after 3 years vios & preve price not so much different la. it’s not just about rv. it’s about people’s preferences. at the same price, better get b or c segment car, fuel saving, maintenance, etc. and at the same price too, you can get high specs preve rather than low specs vios. ya, rv not so much different, maybe that’s the reason why people still choosing toyota vios. despite of whatever rv is, if you go to buy 2nd hand car and find out vios is 50k and preve just 20k, i have no idea why you should waste money 30k over 2nd hand car.
Vios Ultraman version is incoming
Finally. Looking fwd to this beauty for a long2 time.
Last night this news came at about 12am. John terus kena heart attack and admitted to SJMC.
Poor john, no 1 Toyota basher in PT is in utter shock. Sakit jantung.
It’s now SDMC you nit.
Malaysians are all excited about the new Vios. All are ready to jump into showroom to place orders.
Those who cant afford also, don’t worry. Just buy a Perodua Myvi. It uses a Toyota engine also, very similar to the Vios engine
This is why Myvi sales in 6 months are 80,000 units vs Proton Iriz sales in 6 months only 2000 units.
80,000 VS 2000 units. Speaks volumes. People trust in Toyota engines.
inb4 Perodua tumpang Toyota glamour which tumpang Geely glamour.
Go Go Go Go!!!! Vios is back!!!!! lolz
Dear Greedy UMW, I adviced you to priced this new dugong between RM108-RM128K. Put it at very expensive price tag like you always do.
car with no innovation at all.
And your Proton is? Lol.
What no innovation? That fugly design is the innovation
Habis laa…..Honda City, Nissan Almera
Salah. Habis laa….. Toyota Vios, Nissan Almera. Now it is correct!
The latest keli DNA car will flood road soon, embrace!
1.2 litre ? Underpowah, no thanks
1.2 litre engine is for Thai market. Malaysia market get 1.5 litre engine.
Vios have been an endless series of facelifts, this “new” one is just yet another facelift variation. Move along, nothing to see here.
Agreed!
This is more than just a regular facelift. This is an extensive facelift.
We’re going from 2 to 6 airbags.
In another words, Toyota have been shortchanging their customers for so many many years. Imagine how many lives cud have been saved if they had equipped Vios with 6 airbags from the start. Toyota has blood on their hands.
Toyota used all the red blood to dress up the TRD sportivo variant with red accents.
Belakang macam elantra
ALL-NEW? UMW still treat Malaysian as idiot.
It just a bloody late facelift from 3rd gen.
Blame Toyota ASEAN. This is ASEAN junk thrown to our market.
This will be 100k with statement beautiful dinosaur
Umw making up for lost time
Everything you learn about the Earth is totally wrong. So many conspiracy and lies but finally the truth has been uncovered. After so many researchs we concluded that the earth is “Flat”. NASA has been found to be a hoax spreader so dont believe NASA at all.
The one conspiracy and lie is what you’ve just spouted. Flat-earthers have no place in modern world. Where’s the edge that you would fall off, how come water doesn’t overflow down, why you can travel the earth in any direction and reach the same exact spot? All these wouldn’t be happening with flat earth. And why blame NASA? It has been know way before NASA. Go up Mt Kinabalu, explain why the horizon is curvy.
Vios and cheap-plastic look of the dashboard is like a love story
As ugly and third world looking as it is, it is a good buy in Bolehland as it’s a TOYOTA!
The pricing though is ridiculous. Should be priced 50% cheaper.
Cheapskate low cost instrumentation, still don’t have temperature gauge. Only 2 idiot lights.
Toyota Vios The God Car is superb reliable, why so worrying looking for temp gauge while overheating wouldn’t happen?
Overheating always happen on the road, u didn’t notice?
Especially P2/jepunis cars
Ya, only idiotic jepunis worshipper will say that temperature gauge is not needed (if jarum analog, maybe it’s look outdated compared with bar display/digital, but still better than NONE AT ALL), that’s why even our No.1 national J-class car maker in term of sales doesn’t have it in all of their model lineup (worse, they even remove it in current 3rd gen Myshit when previous 1st and 2nd gen have it which for me is NON-TOLERABLE FLAWS), anyway for those think temperature gauge is not important, don’t cry ya when your car suddenly smoked out and caught fire due to unnoticeable overheating and that cheap bulb idiot light doesn’t flash out (oh wait, their J-class car got high RV anyway, so let it burn loh).
The real game changer! Habislah Persona!
Moving Forward… Seems T is scared with Malaysian people nowdays… Well equip safety to prevent being bashed…
Ur welcomed. But its still a dinosar
Sat inside the car in Thailand. The interior packaging of the car is disapointing. Still feels crampier than City and Almera. Interior wise, Myvi has better looking dashboard.
Without AEB, RM90K+ is just too much to ask. Just wait for proton X50 Binyue.
Yup. At 90k can even get X70 with better safety and more space!
RM95k for the top spec?? For just a bit more, within RM110k, one can get a Civic 1.8, Mazda 3 or Elantra 2.0.. much larger cars with better handling and interior space, with not much difference in monthly commitment and downpayment.
They changed the front fender, hood, headlight and bumper of the existing Vios….Engine , tranny and chassis from existing Vios becomes new Vios instead of facelifted Vios?
The previous gen design is miles better than this 1
Honda city: ‘come on, really? Look at your face.’
Toyota Vios: ‘Right back at cha’
what an ugly car. full stop.
probably umw gona slap in the myvi ASA stereo cam onto it
Selling my old compromised Quality pre lift H City and going to meet UMW SA soon for car test appointment
Damn… That is one ugly looking car
Wow so nice in red
I mean the model
Boring, no new tech, rear light look like Hyundai elantra old model.
ugly..
Toyota.. please dont make anymore biz deal with UMW..
They will rip off every features almost to 10 years ago tech then sell it with very high prizes,… that cause Toyota sales very low compare to Honda here in Malaysia.
YoroshikuOnegaishimasu….
DRB Honda better than UMW Toyota? But some say DRB is GLC wor…
Good that umw returning back to only 2 variants.
Bad impression on Toyota, no need waste time to look at
The new Vios was at motorsport playground getting wrapped 2 weeks ago. Probably will see it at KLIMS
Wow such a stupid car with stupid engine. Who is so stupid to buy?
Malaysia is most probably the only country where people buy cars without knowing the price,test driving it and by just browsing internet for videos and pictures.
Just amazing .
It doesn’t help that there is a lack of competition. The only rival for the Vios is the City.
New Toyota vios tail lamp look very ugly compare to old Hyundai sonata ‘s tail lamp.
If price like how they priced the Camry, don’t waste time launching it.
Horsepower is too low at 107.
Vios is not sports car.
No wonder those Vios fanboi driving into the ditch.
Safe by the branding. If the car isn’t Toyota, Malaysian wont buy it. Even if a car so beautifully crafted but the brand is not T-H, it won’t change Malaysian’s status quo.
It’s not true. Malaysian will still buy if not T or H. However, if it’s Proton, then it’s another story. Slap a Proton logo to a Honda and see what happened? Same goes to Mitsu, Suzuki..
Unpatriotic majority Malaysians. the majority.
Only red colour would hide the ugliness of the new vios.. Engine wise,current City is much more powerful,responsive and excellent.Obviosly this new vios was created by a bunch of blind people and approved by a handicapped Japanese warlords.
5 years ago when the current Vios landed on Malaysian road,I’d predicted the City would easily swallow the pie of Vios sales…and I was definitely 100% right! This time around I’m still dare put my whole neck on the chopping board that current City would easily kicking the new Vios out of the chart.Horrendous design and recycled dinasour technology by Toyota.By the time the all new City coming to our shore,this Vios would be instinct indefinitely! Mark my word!
No one is listening boi.
Haha.
Although this new Vios is a garbage car, but its still lightyears ahead of the even more lousy and garbage Proton Preve and Persona. Hope the new Honda City will be a game changer
Preve and Persona are not that bad. It’s just that they’re CVT transmission is not that great. But with Geely, we can say goodbye to CVT from Proton.
Vios oso CVT if u care to read the article
OMG….. Still the outdated dashboard and steering wheel design… Please sack the designer..
Pity the bashers. Now all bengang cause Vios got so many airbag and got so many safety specs…..
Too slow ah boy. Proton already moved to having full fledged driver assist active safety system. Why so proud about 6 airbags when Proton cars oredy have that 10 years ago?
I already applied leave from my boss for November 22. Going to line up to place my order.
It’s just a Vios. Why line up?
Volkswagen now can take order online and Lazada, you’re living in dinosaur era to take leave and queue up for buying car.
U will enter Toyota showroom with more sleeping sales agents and less customer, no need line up, hahaha
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha…..lol
Toyota sold in 150 countries
Geely 98% sold in China only. Rejected completely by First World countries.
Which should I buy? Should I buy a brand that is accepted in 150 countries and is the Top seller in all First World countries
Or
Should I buy a car brand that is 98% sold in China only?
Do you know why Geely is mainly sold in China alone? In fact, do you know of any other Chinese carmaker sold in large numbers elsewhere other than their homeland?
Because with a TIV of 24 million, all you need to survive is 5% market share, or even less. That’s why. Difference is that now, they have started to look abroad a bit more.
Yes they are mainly available in China, but they are also available in MENA, some Russian cities and Balkan countries.
In time, that will change. Just like how Malaysians shunned Japanese cars in the beginning, it was the same with Chery and Haval. But in time, in Malaysia Haval and Geely will survive.
Price increased!
old engine and gearbox inkambing
1.5cc luxury car? hope for PH govt to reduce car prices? don’t even think about it
Boring news ever…
Thanks to the new LOOK. I have booked Honda City over the weekend
And what a mistake that will be. You will realise it very soon.
Long-gone the Britney Spears’ Vios (GEN1)
No actual car price can start booking? Copy LCR X70
Finally UMW Toyota already taubat and insaf with their arrogant and greedy with the spec of their car lineup. IMO this vios already well equipped with those BSW and RCTA which not available in other country and competitors. And Thank God they will not create TRD Sportipu variant anymore.
Dugong-ish..meh
Camry, Corolla and nw Vios launched …x70 bile lagi?? Next year?????????????? Year end promo no deposit downpayment to book??
Dun worry, rakyat will wait and buy x70, nobody sohai go to buy overpriced Camry, Corolla and Vios.
