Official distributor UMW Toyota Motor is looking to cash in on the Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Vios Challenge with a new special edition variant of the Vios that’s now open for booking. The Toyota Vios Sports Edition is inspired by the race cars that will take part in the series, fitted with a number of sports accessories. Available in a single spec, the Sports Edition is priced at RM85,300 on-the-road without insurance.
From the looks of it, the Sports Edition is based on the base 1.5J variant, adding an all-round bodykit, a large goalpost-style rear spoiler and 15-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels similar to the ones on the 1.5G – albeit in a black rather than two-tone finish. There are also black and red body stripes, again inspired by the race car.
Inside, the Sports Edition gets sports seats, unique floor mats and gearknob and illuminated scuff plates, as well as amber footwell lighting instead of the usual blue. Other than that, standard equipment should remain identical, and include halogen reflector headlights, LED daytime running lights, rear fog lights, keyless entry, push-button start, a radio/CD player with Bluetooth, four speakers, dual airbags and stability control.
Power comes from the usual 1.5 litre Dual VVT-i four-cylinder engine that produces 107 PS at 6,000 rpm and 140 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm, matched to a CVT instead of the race car’s five-speed manual gearbox. The Sports Edition is also equipped with sports suspension that drops the ride height by 27 mm.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Now AhBengs with sling bags will drive fast because stripe decals add +100hp
J spec just 75k and umw selling 85k to cash in 10k on this gazoo edition.Taking profit 10k for stickers is ridiculous,but T fanboy would buy anything to prevent umw sinking deeper.Umw is really desperate now.
Got vsc, mau bash.
Unchange, lagi bash.
Go down, mesti bash kaukau.
Its a small family sedan , nothing sporty about it.
1.5 , low output only 107hp
CVT , wobbly suspension nothing sporty about that.
What I hate the most, The blinding rear foglight
2 model advertise as sport but among the least power in the B-segment , VIOS & ALMERA
TOO MUCH Ah Beng & Sport wannabe.
Expected to be the most reliable but only provide 3 years warranty.
Shame on you UMW T, always think about profit & bodykits instead of better safety & specs.
Vios KL menjerit
Now I know why they say “don’t judge the book by its cover”. Looks fast on the outside, but inside is a tin kosong.
I can’t get you wat u meant tin kosong. What City has but Vios don’t have? Otherwise consider what Vios has but City don’t? For a start , all (or almost all) Toyota comes with DOHC engine.
Keep calm buddy…he meant Saga Iriz Persona milo tin kosong.
A lot of what City have Vios don’t. Go figure yourself. But have to admit Vios have alot of bodykits that will improve the hp. Funny.
So many 10yrs old Vios still running but not city nor wajunk. Go figire, DRB phailed AF
You mean rear disk brake, tyre pressure inflator, higher RPM torque ???
Errr there are still many waja taxis and normal wajas on road, so as city
Heh,
DOHC but still have lower HP and Torque.
Lol
any significant advantage of twincam over singlecam?
Toyora fanboi spotted^
Tell me does Vios have any ANCAP or Asean CAP safety rating? City did score 5 stars for both but the only safety rating Vios had was the Dugong version. It’s been 4 years since catfish is out but why no safety rating published yet?
That’s why its not surprising for people to classify Vios as tin kosong
Vios DOHC engine but with 12hp and 5nm less than City
16in vs 15in wheels
6 airbags vs 2
led headlights and rear lights vs halogen and bulb
automatic vs manual aircon
rear vents vs none
cruise control and paddle shift vs none
V spec cheaper than G and Sportivo
I say City has a lot more that Vios don’t
Kudos Alan for laying out specific facts with certain degree of depth for healthy debate. I am not here to pick a fight but I couldn’t stand a handful of commenters here who bash lazily. Imagine they are still commenting Vios, Altis and Camry without VSC today which is not true. Toyota Malaysia added VSC to their cars around end of Year 2016 though is a bit late relative to other brands.
Just one correction to your point on price. City V is more expensive than Vios G.
Thanks.
Just realized that it’s the Vios GX that is priced higher than the City V
It’s strange why some people such as “Tell Us Exactly” still want people to state the obvious. Some research relates it to lack of intelligence, but I’ll give him a benefit of doubt.
Correction. Ah Bengs with leather “Manbags”.
Anothor supercar coming to malaysia
Let me tell something: In Japan this is like kancil with sporty bodykit :] ur welcome
I would put my money on a 12 month old Elantra for RM50k instead
Then explain why bought your son saga?
Oh God this looks so disgusting
Oh no….UMW is going the same direction as protong……sportivos…decorative editions….when sales stagnate after Raya.
They r trying to clear stocks before the new vios arrives.
Something is wrong with this distributor.
Lowered ride. Sports & Going Places at its most finest.
Please la Toyota, stop insulting the consumers intelligence! TQ
Wah oiii…sports car for 85k…damn cheap wai…take my money now!
one word: RICER!
Soon there will be more rear fog light abusers on the road.
No demand thats why. Honda CITY just killed you.
Those who have driven the current city know the super bumpy characteristics of the car when driving xcdg 110kmh
Why make it sound like a good deal when it isn’t? If it’s 250hp, 300nm torque at the price, only than it would be termed reasonable. Until that happens, the bull shit has to stop…
isn’t this encouraging road racing?
are car accidents too few on the road?
Lack of sales due to people buying the civic?
No need to talk about civic, even city sales outperforms vios
Well the outlook looks nice with the bodykits but do the added accessories worth of rm7k? Better buy a discounted G variant or just buy a J variant and only adding “useful” accessories yourself.
Thats right folks, only UMW dare to upsell a CVT tranny Vios as “sports edition”…
All models launched by UMW is so boring , UMW , please learn from Honda .
One word: RICE
Confirm not buang and end up in longkang?
Yes. Persona 1st.
I really don’t understand. The stoopeed UmW always release cosmetic changes over and over again on the Low spec vehicle and thought people will buy?
Sadly, some will buy. Weird..
Rear spoiler very good for dry clothes orso.
OMG… UMW trying their luck again with this scam.
Make 500 units, each one with a numbered plaque. Nice.
Shitty sport accessories? Lol great
NAIS. now ahbeng’s dont have to spend money mod their car liao. kahkahkah
Persona got better handling than Vios
But but..power windows cannot close.
Old story sudah basi. Only caveman cannot accept it, still living in denial, lol
Exora, Preve masih turbocor. Lulz
Again, old story sudah basi, lol
hmm, what about sold to china company, Geely?
Skoda audi bawah VW kenapa tak bising
Get a Cerato 1.6L better la, now offer.
I suspect the whole UMW Vios marketing department is run by young Ah Bengs . Their great thinking has trickled down nicely to the products . Lol
SPORTS new meaning > BODYKIT rofl:)
The race car is
* based on a Vios 1.5J manual but
* with a 10% power hike (the 2NR-FE makes 107 PS/140 Nm stock) and track-essential mods.
* TRD parts include an aerodynamic kit,
** exhaust system,
** clutch and
** limited-slip differential (LSD),
** suspension system,
** brake pads,
** tower bar and
** lower brace bars,
** and a full roll cage.
LOL Sport Edition using CVT? While the Gazoo using MT?
Why not just give 19″ tire, carbon fibre GT wing, undercarriage neon light? WTF UMWT.
J is the lowest spec of vios right price at 77,400.. put some awful kit now can sell at G spec range? aiyok such a rip off
This wont make you as market leader…
Not forgetting it is Hilux that brought most sales for you..
Bring in your Rav4 and C-HR if you plan to stay relevant in the auto market..
As if the RM4800 TRD Sport Kit for Hilux is not bad enough, they put the Sport Kit to base J model Vios and cost more than the E spec.
Better buy secondhand Civic FD or Lancer GT which much safer, powerfull and bigger….
Y bother sport edition when nthg much has been upgraded.. at least tune d engine and upgrade d brakes and suspensions
For that price, Honda Jazz 1.5 Sport Hybrid anytime!
Why it make the manual variant also? Since it’s actually base on it as a race replica. Change the wheels and add more trd features like air filter, strut bars, exhaust n maybe a remap to the ecu for better performance. So can also justify for the increase in price. “Hope” it’s not a sales gimmick to boost sales.
Coz I don’t see the justification of such a price
Leap. Why not just put ori seats or trd seats from the exciting model.
ToYoTa..What to expect? Even JDM’s Estima only have two(2) airbags LOL
Tak add Turbo pun, mana boleh kata itu Sport?
Very nice.. .good gtr vios….
I tought they would add some ummph to the vios like special exhaust and special tuned engine just to have sexy 4age sound-alike sound. Sportier rims or perhaps add some turbo inside just to prove its really a racing edition breed.
