Here’s a full gallery of the fourth-generation Toyota Vios in its base 1.5E variant which is one of two available options, with the other being the top-spec 1.5G that we reviewed in Langkawi recently. Priced at RM89,600 on-the-road without insurance, the 1.5E costs RM5,900 less than the range-topper that retails at RM95,500.
For the money, the 1.5E shares quite a bit with the 1.5G, including a 2NR-VE 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine that makes 106 PS at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. A CVT with seven virtual speeds is paired with the Dual VVT-i mill to send drive to the front wheels, allowing for a top speed of 180 km/h.
Standard kit for the entry-level variant includes automatic LED headlamps with a follow me home function, LED running lights, LED combination taillights, auto-folding side mirrors, acoustic windshield glass, an aerokit, keyless entry and engine start, a wireless charger, illuminated scuff plates and 9-inch Display Audio touchscreen with support for wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
The 1.5E also shares a front digital video recorder (a rear one costs an additional RM380), Vehicle Telematics System (VTS) with a three-year free subscription, a 3D panoramic view monitor, six airbags, the usual array of passive systems (VSC, traction control, ABS, EBD, brake assist, hill start assist) and six parking sensors (two front and four rear).
As for driver assistance systems, the 1.5E comes with pre-collision system (autonomous emergency braking), lane departure warning, lane departure prevention, front departure alert, pedal misoperation control as well as a blind spot monitor with rear cross traffic alert.
In terms of differences, on the exterior of the base variant, you’ll find 16-inch alloys instead of the 1.5G’s 17-inch units. Drum brakes are also used for the 1.5E instead of solid discs, which are standard for the range-topper as it also comes with an electronic parking brake (with auto brake hold) – the 1.5E has a handbrake instead.
Still on the outside, the 1.5E loses out on the 1.5G’s chrome accents as well as rear sequential turn signals and rain-sensing wipers. Moving inside, the premium you’re not paying for the 1.5G means you’ll be getting a steering wheel that can only tilt (the 1.5G adds telescopic adjustment) with a urethane skin (this also applies to the shift knob).
The 1.5E also gets a 4.2-inch multi-info display instead of the 1.5G’s 7-inch TFT digital instrument cluster, while also missing out on paddle shifters, 64-colour ambient lighting, automatic air-conditioning (1.5E comes with manual AC and different controls), soft-touch material on various contact areas, six speakers (1.5E has just four) and leather seat upholstery (fabric in the 1.5E). Unlike the 1.5G, the 1.5E’s Toyota Safety Sense suite doesn’t include lane keeping control, auto high beam and adaptive cruise control.
Given the pricing, which variant of the all-new Toyota Vios do you think is worth considering? Or will you go with another model in the B-segment sedan market altogether? Enjoy these photos and share your thoughts with us in the comments below.

that’s literally myvi’s meter with changed fonts. LOL
not only myvi’s meter, 2NR-VE is essentially the SAME ENGINE as myvi
People go for the E spec die-die only go for the badge. Just stretch a mere 6k more for all the goodies. If you could afford 89.6k, top up a bit for the G spec variant. My father once told me, when buying a car, always go for the full spec.
Alah membeli menang memakai…
Nice
kegemaran fanboy Toyota
sasaran golongan M40/B40
Haiz rm90k kedekut gives leather wrap steering and digital meter, ativa/alza H spec pun ada give.
That’s why spending rm90k, go for the G, not the lower spec E
205R17, ACC, Leather Seats and Steering.
People’s preference
If don’t want more gadgets but as long as AEB is enough, can get Vios E
If wanna more things, can get Vios G
This is low spec bro
Design sucks, Almera & City are the best.
City design already dated. If comparing with City V or E, there is still no Honda Sensing, no blind spot monitor and no 360 camera. Still come with LaneWatch technology
Almera design at least better than City but par with Vios. The only thing is that there is no blind spot monitor and 360 camera but come with halogen headlights.
Right, 360 camera is very important for old folks >70yrs old who cannot turn the head any more.
360 camera is also important for everyone including young ones that don’t know how to park properly
is Toyota trying to kill this E variant? Add 6k got these:
– 7-inch TFT digital instrument cluster,
– paddle shifters
– 64-colour ambient lighting,
– automatic air-conditioning
– six speakers
– leather seat upholstery
– lane keeping control,
– auto high beam
– adaptive cruise control.
this Vios E is designed to be the one still in stock when covid lockdowns kill the chip supply for all the above features to work
the higher price takes into account the margin for getting car fast
in effect toyota is self-scalping their own product haha
lame ACC with no stop & go function
People saying want aeb, acc, lka. Those nannies features are for novice driver. Until u try these halfbaked tech with new myvi av, U find it’s not really useful and rather kacau your driving. Sooner u will wan to disable these features and leave the acc unuse at all.
Thats why AEB, LDW are the basic active safety features as part of basic Toyota Safety Sense which is already enough
Using manual aircond is not high tech as automatic climate control also good enough
No full digital meter but come with both digital and analog meter also not high tech, also good enough
E Spec is also better choice to buy that don’t need such hi tech gadgets
ACC with stop & go function is for in traffic jam. wait until u stuck in a two hours traffic jam then for sure u want to use it.
-steering only can tilt, no telescopic. Same as Axia
-spare tyre
-Front passenger mirror
-Front fog lamps, instance give u 2 holes ^^
Someone said “At least something upgrade from previous Vios 1.5E to this new Vios E”
Someone said “This is low spec bro”
At least something upgrade from previous Vios 1.5E to this new Vios E
To me, Vios E is already good enough. No need so much gadgets, even come with AEB.
Affordable low spec Vios
This DNGA platform Vios has better handling and more solid than old platform of Toyota Vios
Vios 2025 coming soon. Don’t buy yet. Steering can control itself even if you sleep off.
Sudah beli ni atau u cakap sebagai u hater
Nice tapi price rm90k tak ngam. Kena test drive dulu tengok dnga tu benar2 berbaloi ke tak bayar lagi rm6k dari city E.
City E already poor spec, no AEB, no LDW, no 360 camera but come with 4 airbags and using halogen headlights. Meter also more like 90s and not using lcd color display for City E
2NR-VE is the same engine as myvi
pay 20% more to share same dashboard/ seat/ safety systems/ steering , with the atuva & alza
Vios is the best
A 2nd class Toyota based on Daihatsu platform..a big no
