This is the Toyota Yaris Ativ, the sedan version of the Toyota Yaris hatchback in Thailand. Launched in August 2017, it’s a Thai eco car just like the Yaris. The classification imposes a 1.2 litre engine, and the 3NR-FE motor churns out 86 PS/108 Nm, mated to a CVT automatic.
The Yaris Ativ is 4,425 mm long, 1,730 mm wide and 1,475 mm tall; which is 15 mm longer and 30 mm wider than our current Vios. The height and 2,550 mm wheelbase matches the Vios, so this is a car that’s largely similar in dimensions to the B-segment sedan that we’re familiar with. It should come to Malaysia as the next-generation Vios, as is the case in Singapore.
Without Thai eco car restrictions, the Singapore-spec new Vios comes with a 1.5 litre engine that’s the norm in the class. The SG-spec Vios pairs a 2NR-FE 1.5 litre Dual VVT-i mill (105 hp, 140 Nm) to a CVT – a powertrain combo that our current Vios received in 2016.
In Thailand, the Ativ is available in five variants: J Eco, J, E, G and S. The first two roll on 14-inch steel wheels, while the others get 15-inch alloys. G and S variants get halogen projectors headlamps.
You can see the difference here – the silver car is a 559,000 baht (RM69,583) E while the blue car is the 635,000 baht (RM79,039) range-topping S. There’s a beige cabin for the E and a full-black one with red pattern on the seats for the sporty-flavoured S.
The S also gets goodies such as a seven-inch touchscreen head unit, automatic air-con, a 4.2-inch multi-info display, Optitron instrument cluster, six speakers as well as keyless entry and push start. All variants get seven airbags and VSC as standard. Like what you see?

Those engineers cannot think how to make better FC so they just come up with smaller engine. On higher displacement engine , even P1 is more frugal
The real Honda City killer soon, with better specs & safety features!
Nah… I’d stick w Persona 1.6 Premium.
Buy 2018 Myvi. Everybody is buying it.
55% changed their minds.
Change from Iriz and Jazz
Yup. Change to Iriz and Jazz
Crampy is vios ativ new name
Vios is the best. This is why 2018 Perodua Myvi is the top selling car in Malaysia. It uses a time tested Vios engine which everybody trust. OMG, in 3 months, it sold 60,000 Perodua Myvi alone!!!!!!
Why get ASEAN vios when even ur overlord admitted that Mazda2 is a better car thats worthy to enter US market?

Beautiful….
Loving that CLA-esque butterfly rear lights
The rear light looks more like Hyundai Elantra version
vios design getting more worst from time by time compare hyundai & kia , vios 1st & 2nd generation much better than this
Deswai they brought back dashboard center stack from dugong era. They think pipu like that design.
Over-priced. It should include AEB (Autonomous Emergency Braking). If Perodua can include it in their model (and possibly future models), why can’t Toyota? Oh wait, Toyota Malaysia = UMW. So safety features only applicable to the rich.
The Prince is Back!
That one inside Peugeot la
Still looks the same…just some cosmetic changes and same cheap quality material interior. Another failure for Toyota!
that’s how a budget car should loook like!!! bravo!!!!
I’ve driven the HB-derivative of this (the Yaris Ativ 1.2 L + CVT) back in Bangkok 3 weeks ago as a rental car. It was extremely underpowered & literally had to floor it all the time to match the average speed of other motorists on the motorway. I believe 1.5 L is the best option for this car.
“If” this Yaris Activ comes with an under-power 1.2 litre with 86 PS/108 Nm, it will loose out to Honda City.
I think they will bring the try & tested 2NR-FE 1.5 litre 105 hp/140 Nm with CVT. That will give Toyota a chance to bounce back.
I really don’t understand the taste of their designer and mgt
For once i agrees with u.
Ugly as usual
