UMW Toyota Motor has officially announced the start of order taking for the new Toyota Vios facelift, shortly after the company did the same for the refreshed Yaris. Just like the hatchback, the sedan will be offered in three variants, including the J, E and G.
Estimated prices start at RM75,701 for the base J, RM85,674 for the mid-spec E, and RM89,232 for the range-topping G variant. Compared to the outgoing model, the J is now cheaper by RM400, while the E and G are priced higher by RM5,600 and RM3,100, respectively. It should also be noted that the entire facelifted Vios range is priced higher when compared to the Yaris, which has an estimated starting price of RM71,688.
The standard factory warranty is five years with unlimited mileage, and all estimated prices are on-the-road excluding insurance, but factors in the 2020 sales tax exemption by the government. The sedan gets maximum SST exemption, as it is locally assembled (CKD) in Bukit Raja, Klang.
In terms of styling changes, the Vios will get the same front end as its hatchback sibling, with the main grille and lower intake merged together to form a large mouth, finished in black. There’s also a new bumper with redesigned fog lamp section, while the headlamps are now triple-bezel LED units that have a follow-me-home function and DRLs.
The fancier headlamps are standard across the entire J, E and G range, and represent a major step up from the previous halogen projectors used. Additionally, the car seen in these photos is the G variant with an optional RM2,800 aerokit, which adds on front and rear bumper lips, side skirts and a boot lid lip spoiler.
The eye-grabbing hue you see here is Orange Metallic, one of five available colours for the Vios, with others being Platinum White Pearl, Dark Blue Metallic, Red Mica Metallic and Silver Metallic. Interestingly, the Yaris has a smaller selection compared to the sedan, as it misses out on the orange and dark blue finishes.
Available interior equipment for the Vios includes automatic air-conditioning, an Optitron meter panel with colour multi-info display, an electrochromic rear-view mirror (new), paddle shifters, drive mode switch, a larger 7.0-inch touchscreen head with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, and UMWT’s Vehicle Telematics System is now standard on the E and G variants. A wireless charger (an add-on in the centre console box) is also available.
Like the Yaris, the facelifted Vios also gains the Toyota Safety Sense suite of safety and driver assistance systems. The suite includes pre-collision system (PCS), which works from 15 km/h, using a camera and radar to warn the driver and provide autonomous emergency braking. There’s also lane departure alert (LDA) that warns the driver of unintended lane changes, working from 50 km/h.
These systems are in addition to the new 3D 360-degree panoramic view monitor, VSC, hill start assist control, blind spot monitor with rear-cross traffic alert and front/rear digital video recorders. The seven airbags (dual front, side, curtain, driver’s knee) that were already offered previously should be carried over as well.
Under the bonnet, the Vios should soldier on with a 2NR-FE 1.5 litre Dual VVT-i four-cylinder engine rated at 107 PS and 140 Nm of torque, mated to a CVT with a seven-speed Shiftmatic mode driving the front wheels.

LIKE: Vios and Yaris
DISLIKE: City and City Hatchback
Nice

Beauty Design with Toyota Safety Sense. Great job Toyota
No turbo no buy. Same same no differents,
Bad quality and No ADAS/BSM, no buy in which only for Honda City for all variants that don’t have ADAS/BSM (except for City Premium), except for RS unlike this. Turbo not that important sometimes. But quality must be good.
No 5 years free service no buy
Nowadays, every car manufacturers in Bolehland are implementing 5 years service.
Well, sporty look. Im still waiting to bring Vios GR Sport and Fortuner 2.8
Very excited, let’s rock on
Toyota all the way
All the way into the workshop with broken fuel pumps.
Broken fuel pumps? There is non of the problems with my vios so far. So are you saying honda also got problem, could be bro.
This facelift looks better
Well, Toyota have managed to improve their issues for mechanical and adding more safety features. Great job UMW Toyota.
More fiercer than pre-facelift vios
More fiercer. Your english is so good.
Nice car
Good
So fantastic and even more better as also come out with Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto. And now with RM76k, slightly cheaper than City
City is cheaper than Vios.City price start RM74k.But this Vios is much better than City.City have spacious cabin n boot and power engine while this Vios have a modern technology advanced safety n others.
Vios price range is obviously same price range as City. But for specs, Vios is much better than City
More modern and great looker
Built to exceed reasonable profit
Impressive
Finally, already woke up for reducing prices. Well done
“Android Auto will be available when the service is officially launched in Malaysia”
Basically meant those bashers that bash Proton for not having Android Auto with GKUI have to eat their spit and vomit, hahaha!!!!
They can have it when available in Msia. Your china brand can ke?
AA has been around since 2015, that is more than 5 years ago and to date there is no indication from Google it would launch in this region any time. How long you wanna wait? Until China player gets AI with more intuitive than AA?
Even though hasnt launch, we CAN use Android Auto in Malaysia. Dont u know, bro?
Without being official here, there is NO WAY to use AA since Google has geo-locked from download in this region. Are you suggesting to use Jack Sparrow way? Isn’t that ILLEGAL?
Android Auto is available on your device if it is running Android 10 and above. I used to download the Android Auto app from APK website. Now, I get updates for the app pushed to my device. Before this, I need to get the latest from the APK website.
Android Auto is a free app & it’s not illegal to sideload Android Auto yourself, except for commercial purpose.
Wonderful specs
Increase safety with pricetag… Good job UMW.
Janji ada AEB
Like Aruz, Almera Turbo, Myvi, Bezza, Axia
*Driver remains solely responsible at all times for safe driving
City RS have Honda Sense
Copy and Paste II: “Honda City for all variants that don’t have ADAS/BSM (except for City Premium), except for RS unlike this.“
Safety sense suite works under 15km/h or 50km/h depending on what type but overall Vios drivers drive like as though they are driving a red ferrari.
But examples, in traffic lights the safety sense can stop the car from collision in the front,so its work.But in highway,what kind of people Malaysian drive 15km km/h or 50km/h.
woohoo, Toyota continues to raise their car prices. This will make them stand out from the other Japanese friends…not only in price, but also the sales number!!!
Reliability, more features and advanced safety system, better than before
Beautiful design
Now, no more boring car. That’s how come with excellent specs
Love it! Very stylish and superior
Waaa now ah beng can flex their led lights oledy
bring the GR Yaris please ^^
I just wonder why Toyota vios can be so cheap!
Despite more features compare to my car which was bought 10 years ago, plus the riggit depreciation, vios price almost the same !
You had been paying for an overpriced car 10 years ago. Now the pressure is onto them, they had to give more features thereby reducing their ridiculous profit margin earned from you 10 years ago.
performance still cannot beat the honda city.
The slogan…… “Built to exit.”
The most good RV in Toyota variant..
Hope Toyota Malaysia realize that in Corolla, we only get Blindspot Monitor WITHOUT rear-cross traffic alert. In cheaper Vios and Yaris, these cars got both blind spot monitor AND rear-cross traffic alert.
Yo, rear cross traffic alert also very important. Safety Comes First
Important is reliability that could run longer
Liking the look better. Toyota/UMW needs this to stay afloat in increasingly competitive market.
Feel better and comfort
Really wanna to drive….cool
Will auto cruise available with latest facelift?
I’m wondering the same thing. The only deal breaker for me for the Vios and the Yaris was the lack of cruise control. Willing to let go of the pedal shifters and the 3D surround view camera system in favour of cruise control to ease long distance driving.
Even without cruise control, pedal shifters would be more benefit to use. But 360 degree camera is still on priority for safety and asking to remove 360 degree camera, not really good idea bro.
The Empire Strikes Back
The Jedi(Proton) says Hello!
Empire (Toyota) says Hello too!!
Good in design suits for the younger generation trend,
Cheer to Toyota best design car for younger generation.
When drive Toyota Vios feel age are young beginning of 20 years old.
