UMW Toyota has been toying with a TRD Sportivo bodykit for the Vios but perhaps they should also take a look at what their friends up north are doing. This Toyota Vios GT is on sale in Thailand and it features a bodykit which I at first glance thought was the TRD Sportivo bodykit, but after looking closely I noticed there are variances in the design.
Other than a sporty front bumper without foglamps, the Vios GT also features an improved (over the TRD Sportivo design that is) rear bumper with a little integrated faux diffuser design. They also gave it a chrome tipped exhaust pipe but made it point downwards!
But still in the end this is just another dressed up Vios. Nothing special under the hood – just a stock 1.5L VVT-i with stock output levels. With the previous generation Vios at least Toyota Thailand was adventurous enough to offer a Vios Turbo that put out 143 horses and 196Nm of torque thanks to a factory-installed bolt-on turbo (yes I know that kinda contradicts), equivalent to a 2.0 litre engine.
No factory turbocharged Vios on sale anywhere in the world as of now but in Japan, its Vitz (Yaris) hatchback brother gets a TRD Turbo M variant that puts out 150 horsepower and 195Nm of torque.
Look after the jump for a full photo gallery of the Vios GT.

yeaaaahhh another make-up-what-so-ever… boorrrrr-ringggg….
aih..toyota never quit. dah dugong tu dugong jugak la…
dugong GT = dugong Gemok Teramat ahaha
Nice what… janganlah kutuk2 sangat..frankly meter kat tengah still a weird thing for me..
you guys are all losers condemning Vios..
if you have nothing nice to say, just shut up, get laid (if you can) and drive your sadistic car (if you have any)
Vios is a great car..
though i own a bmw 325
exhaust pipe points downwards, wtf !!
mati pucuk is it ?
Sadly they are becoming like Proton/Perodua
SE version.. just add skirting and change of interior fabric.
They don't make Toyota's like they used to.
is like Dugong Tyoe-R lol

gt bodykit? more like cover-ur-dugong-face kit, hehehez….
so hai was here again. hehehui
pukes on the floor, no class
the T way of selling things: squeeze every bit of lemon left out of that LIFELESS Vios by putting plenty of pointless makeup. underneath, it's still that SOULESS 1.5 engine and stock specs. people who would go for this it's like living life with a credit card who's always in fantasy land. :)
learn from the french, example: peugeot 206. after more than ten years of production, the exterior had changed to………..almost nothing! only the tailgate logo has changed and everything else remains the same. but, they introduced different engine variants. now this is how you PROPERLY extend a car's usage, lifespan and popularity.
can't go wrong with any contis.
stay away from any "new" offerings by T and H.
other japanese makes such as the two Su's and M should be considered the REAL, passionate japanese makes.

u own bmw? 325? who cares??
ermm own a bmw but still give credit to a vios dugong?
ehh bmw tu kereta bapak ko kot? pinjam laa tuuu…
Y-U-C-K-S
Lots of it…..
Come on, Toyota…..Slapping some kits here and there ain't gonna help with the sales. Consumer wants better car, better looking ones and hat got value for money…
This car is a disgrace to the GT badge….
Soon, every one gonna slap a GT badge on their car. I'm gonna stick "GT" on my pencil sharpener too…
Another dugong version of Toyota? I'll support proton
alaahai,,,,kata vios dugong..proton lagi la lebih dari dugong…
i'm with u fadzy.. bukan cam encik 'carperson' tu.. pinjam bmw bapak dia pastu nak show off.. dh laa show off pastu minat kat vios dugong pulak.. weirdo..
i'm with u fadzly.. bukan cam encik 'carperson' tu.. pinjam bmw bapak dia pastu nak show off.. dh laa show off pastu minat kat vios dugong pulak.. weirdo..
Nice interior, but exterior . . . . yuks! Oopps, pukes all over my floor!
By the way… this modified dugong still cannot complete with city .. believe the honda city is much more in style and sporty. this dugong feel like very Lala… (what a shame if you are driving this car to 5 start hotel…~_~) I prefer original (like S specs)
Dugong GTi :P
The middle cluster meters is meant to save cost. Put it there, rotate abit to the right, or abit to the left for different markets is cheapr than placing meters at the steering wheel.
The dugong's design has slowly grown on to me now. I quite like it. Just like the Savvy.
i was with the haters crowd once but after been driving 1, i could say there's nothing wrong with it actually. it just popped out being different from your common understanding of how cars should be like, but u'll appreciate the design flow & fast response of it's torque. please limit urself in the 1.5 range btw.
GT… seriously? more like added botox and cosmetic surgery to me.
People, you can't blame toyota for trying to make it up… they know the car is hideous.
BK but stock exhaust… nice one toyota…

the H is still doing well, at least way better than the overhyped T….
but hey, don't forget N, hehez…. even the century old sentra is better than the tor-tis…. Murano and Z-car? masterpiece…..
yayaya…. 325 is a great car.. though i own a hamann E92 M3…
yucks. you can add whatever side skirts or stuff to the car, but it is still in the end a vios, with a 1.5 litre engine.
useless . really useless .
Special edition in proton wira still fine , becasue it shouts nothing but special edition .
GT ? the only reason GT is out is when they got increased power or firm suspension intended to be a road racer .
I just love it…
i think ive seen some with singapore plates before..but seriously?vios GT?come on T..dont let us down
Frankly speaking, I still appreciate the previous version of Vios. More responsive. Quicker.. Anyway, I wonder why theres no improvement to its engine since the last version? Come on..
interior copying GEN2 CPS concept…..
T designer have no idea huh? copy..
VIOS ENJIN STILL LAST LONG THAN HONDA….OK…
hahahaha…. "nice looking" spoiler… ROFLOL~~
GT on torsion beam…..ngancam nyah
[quote comment="242761"]VIOS ENJIN STILL LAST LONG THAN HONDA….OK…[/quote]
WOW, JUST AN ENGINE FROM A 1.5 COMPACT SEDAN CAN COMPETE WITH WHOLE HONDA ENGINE RANGE AR??? UN BE LIE VA BLE !!!!

agree with you on the previous Vios.
wanna know why there's no improvement? because there isn't any! T only have plans to fool new buyers wanting to get a "Vios GT".
a GT-labelled Vios without a GT-modified engine?
OMG, such a sheer deception by T!
time to stop wasting your hard-earned money on T and start buying real japanese makes, people!

for me vios look nice (small sedan) but this GT version look like proton style :p
borrowing words from Julian-Lee:
BMW better..
hohoho..jangan marah aaa.. :D
totally suck.i'd prefer to buy proton rather than seing myself riding on this dugong GT.to carperson, show off la u.Bimmer is a great car.Be it a E36,E46 or E90…but in your case….pitty.
second pokok. i looks silly in dugong
looks like a toy to me. kinda china made car toy'otar'.
silly dugong. even decals oso they cannot design properly. bullshitt..
Lantaklah..dugong ke, engine ke, apa ke..janji aku bahagia dgn vios aku. hak masing2x dan duit masing2x.. cantik jugak GT ni.
some of malaysian very clever kutuk orang..diri sendiri tak mau tengok..shame2x
iswara aku lagi cantik ..wakaka wakiki…!!!
Dear All,
There is 2 opinion about this :
Positive :
Yes it is good for T to come out with new face and bodykit, updated one… some of the T fans will like it… me also like it, only i do not like the spoiler…
Negative :
They do not have idea to come out with new Vios… RnD cost too high… same spec like old one… notin new except bodykit… n lame bodykit also…
Where on Earth can you find sporty sedan come with Torsion Beam Rear suspension? Toyota Vios, Altis and Yaris is your answer.
And do you know Inova and Avanza using rear Axle? Yes Toyota is probably the only Top Japanese maker to supply this. ha ha What a feeling
Honda Authorised Service center @ Jalan 222, PJ…
1. Excellent service
2. Good environment
3. Helpful officer
4. Free Car wash
agree what lynn said.. i been there before. just fyi… i trade in my toyota vios last year … last month just got my new baby honda city!!! I went there for first time service. What i can say is … never regret to buy a honda. They provided excellent service & helpful,but toyota the indian officer really make me want to cut him into two pieces. then i change to another toyota services center but then their sound like "no worth enough to work because the salary too low"… just imagination ~~~

aku ni dari honda,hyundai,proton persona semua dah pakai…..sekarang ni pakai vios…memang dia macm dugong gemuk tapi…..cukup bebrbeza berbanding honda dan proton…..spesis dugong kalo kat laut kan special…so aku tak heran kome nak kata dugong ka apa ka….yang penting VIOS is number 1…Kah kahhhhh
Dugong on steroid.
AAduh aduh ..ngancam gitu Dugong sudah pakai tudung labuh ….bisa tutup aurat …GT ini maksudnya apa Pak …. Gadis Teruna ? Gadis Tercantik atau Gadis terhodoh ? … mintak mintak Presiden Bambang permisikan GT ini di jual di Jawa Tengah ….bisa bawa jalan jalan …pasti enakkan :-)

betul ke, dalam banyak2 komen sini, semuanya rendah diri, dengki, iri hati dan tak mampu beli Vios?
tak kot…. :)
kalau ko baca betul2 kebanyakan komen, rata2 semua bengang kat T kerana cuma pentingkan untung untuk jual kereta dengan buat new bodykit/facelift tapi tak de improvement dari segi new engine offerings.
IMO, vios by itself is not a bad car, cuma amatlah kesian kepada potential buyer yang mungkin tertipu dan consider nak beli "Vios dilabel GT" ni.
nak kesimpulan? kesimpulannya, amatlah kesian (sekali lagi!) kalau kereta dilabel GT tak de improvement yang sepatutnya dan layak untuk digelar sebuah kereta GT.
Even you put bodykit,the people tetap say 'Dugong cars ' ha ha ha !
Looks what Mitsu done with it Lancer GT compare with the Lancer GLS… that's what's GT should be named…

nak dilabel GT? at least kena ada 200hp ke turbo ke, kalo setakat bodykit je, x yah nak heboh heboh cam karnival sure heboh…..
my 20-year old sentra N13 is WAY better than this… got neovvl power summore, hee hee…
i hate the make up improvement even i owned a vios…yayaya..i owned it…white lagi…
Mmg bro, x dinafikan Vios ni lebih kureng ruper dugong jek,aku pun x braper berkenan…. TAPI dlm kita berkata2 dan mberi komen,kena juga kita fikirkan soal perasaan orng lain…atas jalan bukan sorang dua pakai dugong tapi ramai…..komen2 yg diberikan seolah2 cuba untuk menghina pemilik2 dugong nih….berilah komen2 yg membina bukan cara kutuk mengutuk….yg boleh membangkitkan kemarahan org lain…..peace 2 all…….
encik azam ni sgt sopan santun orangnya.. mungkin encik azam juga seorang pencinta alam dan haiwan terutama spesis dugong yg hmpir pupus.. mitlanevo, i'm with u.. i wonder laa kenapa encik CARPERSON yg ada beemer pinjam papa tu terussss senyaappp je…
EN Azam is right….dan cara berkomen pun bijak..tp en stik…awak ni mula mula ok..ayatnya..lepas tu memerli pulak org…so you ni pencinta peperangan antara manusia agaknya…CUBALAH HORMATI PANDANGAN ORANG LAIN….saya setuju kalau nak komen..berilah komen yang membina…x kisah la macamana pun…even BMW pun ada kelamahannya…tujuan kita disini adalah untuk bertukar tukar pendapat……bukan nak menang…so let beri pendapat yang bagus tentang dunia automatif kita….
Azam, we understand what you trying to mention here, but comment always is like that, it is open to everyone but those bad thingy is not point to this dugong but indirectly we are … just not too obvious! Well… H & T is still a best car for our generation vehicle. From my point of view, i would go for T – S series instead… or the stylish new H city
Top 5 consumer vehicle for H & T from what i see on the road :
1. H City (all model) – stylish design
2. T Vios (all model) – i driving Vios old model, satisfied !!!
3. H Civic (06-09 model) – I love this car so much !! the perfect car ever !!!
4. T Camry (new model) – comfortable
5. H Accord (new model) – good performance car
Final answer for two of this top brand :
1. H – Performance and stylish
2. T – Comfortable & Class
Everyone have different preferred option, some love no. 1, some love no. 2… it is fine if you guys choose one of it… but no local car i think … Haha
Cheers,
Lynn
biasala..stik bukannye ade kereta..sebab tu die komen cam tu..such a loser..
Yeah.. the hensom dugong….. i like vios..moving foward… bole jalanlaa kepada pengkritik berani kita turun litar laa…….
Anyone know where these are available in Thailand ?
Thx.
hei guys..stop degrading the vios la..i think its a better car then any malayain make and its cheap..i own a c200 and i just purchased a vios trd..its a great car..buat apa cantik tapi takda harga and no performance..serupa pr…t..n
kereta pape pun,lau dah make-up cantik jugak la…
i think people cannot compare this car with others (like honda,proton etc)
every car have their own pro n contra..
toyota just want to give their customers a choice..
at least they have choice tu put bk like sportivo n gt..
it goes same like honda..modulo or mugen..
its not nice some of people here just throw a rubbish to this car..
at least give some respect to the owner..
just my 2 cents~cheers!
Bagi aku vios best tak kira la dugong ke tak tapi dia punya minyak memang save gila..aku pakai vios first model.. apa pun vios best…..haha…
Still, It is the best selling car in market.. Some ppl said ppl who bought Vios is stupid, but still, why just few people buy City? Because it is UGLY LIKE HELL..
I don’t like Vios. i hate white colour of Vios. They only have this desing look good.. Damn !
Every year no 1 sales
Great car !!!
Old Honda CT look more dugong ahahahaha
