Following the official launch of the facelifted Toyota Vios, we now bring you a full gallery of the refreshed B-segment sedan in its range-topping G variant, which is priced at RM87,584 on-the-road excluding insurance, but with the 2020 sales tax exemption factored in.
The Vios also comes in two other variants, including the mid-spec E for RM82,593 and base J for RM74,623. Compared to the previous version of the Vios that arrived in January last year, the J is now RM1,478 cheaper, while the E and G are up by RM2,519 and RM1,452 respectively.
There are no mechanical changes with the facelift, as the Vios soldiers on with a 2NR-FE 1.5 litre Dual VVT-i four-cylinder engine. With outputs of 107 PS and 140 Nm of torque, the mill drives the front wheels through a CVT that features a seven-speed Shiftmatic mode.
Styling revisions are focused at the front, where the main grille and lower intake have been merged to form a large mouth, finished in black. A new bumper complements this change, with redesigned fog lamp sections, while the rear remains unchanged from before. Those triple-bezel LED headlamps are also new and replace the previous halogen projector units, with follow-me-home function and DRLs.
This particular example also sports an optional aerokit, which includes front and rear bumper lips, side skirts and a boot lid lip spoiler for RM2,500. There’s also the GR-S package if you need something sportier, for an additional RM7,700, which is inspired by the RM97.5k Vios GR-S.
While the exterior is visibly different, the Vios’ cabin remains pretty much unchanged from before. With the G, you get leather upholstery, a multifunction leather steering wheel and shift knob, paddle shifters, a seven-inch Display Audio system (with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support), six speakers, an electrochromic rear-view mirror, 60:40 split-folding rear seats, an Optitron instrument cluster with a 4.2-inch display, automatic air-con, along with keyless entry and start.
Other items on the kit list include 16-inch alloy wheels (with 195/50 tyres), Eco and Sport drive modes, two USB charging ports, blue footwell illumination and the Vehicle Telematics System (VTS). The wireless charger seen in the armrest storage cubby is an optional extra that costs RM490.
Safety-wise, there’s seven airbags – standard across the range – plus Vehicle Stability Control, traction control, ABS, EBD, brake assist, front and rear parking sensors, as well as the Toyota Safety Sense suite.
The systems included in said suite – also standard with the E – are pre-collision system (PCS), lane departure alert (LDA), a blind spot monitor and rear-cross traffic alert. The upper two variants also get a front digital video recorder (DVR), something that is missing with the J.
Lastly, the paint hue you see here is called Orange Metallic, which is one of five available, with the others being Platinum White Pearl, Dark Blue Metallic, Red Mica Metallic and Silver Metallic. All colours can be had with any variant, but the white will set you back an extra RM400.

As usual, Toyota too late to the party. Left just 13 days to go for SST free period and those who intend to book today won’t likely to get their cars in 2 weeks time unless Toyota has plenty of stock lying around which itself, tells another story…
Tak payah fikir dan pening. beli je P2 Rocky turbo
P2 Rocky even later to the party. The event has ended baru P2 rocky comes to an empty space.
fully agreed… perodua goin down 2gether with mbmr mara. just a matter of time….
Hi hater bro, it is not too late. The other brands also launching in the same quarter too as this toyota.
Betuii , Toyota too late again. Abang-abang buy Ford Mustangg dee, what a big pity…
You don’t even understand what is the meaning of “not too late”. OMG!!! If you don’t know, go back to primary school. What is he trying to say Toyota, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Honda and Proton are launching in the same quarter. So did you think it is too late? Ask yourself
Agreed with you
Other brands launches 1st weeks of last quarter, Toyota launches last weeks of last quarter. How will ppl get their cars SST like that. Bigggg difference laa…
Copy and Paste II: “ it is not too late.” from GSB
Big differences? Not
Should sell better than the last one. This one looks very good
proton x50, still too good to be missed. even major japanese car trading firm sojitz gone for geely distributorship, the car simply deliver
Don’t compare with this vs suv
The hotselling new gen Honda City most powerful in segment, with that stonking 121PS VTEC engine.
Copy and Paste II: “ since I watched India Yaris Ativ (Vios) acceleration and top speed YouTube, as I said, it has proven that it accelerates from 0-100 in 10.3 seconds while top speed is 200 km/h based on 7 speed auto.” From Sena
good, got AEB
Decent looks and comfortable.
Nice
This beauty design has everything such as TSS, service is so cheap and etc. dayumm
Bring it on
Good
Let’s Rock
Lame product to challenge the X50.
It is still a boring 107PS NA engine.
The safety specs are top class though.
Are you really sure? You should watch India Yaris Ativ (Vios) Video about acceleration and top speed. It accelerates 0-100 in 10.3 seconds and 200 km/h as top speed.
It still guzzles fuel like an elephant to water. Ancient engine is ancient engine.
Since when this is an ancient engine? It just built in 4 years ago. Previously used to be single vvti but until 2016, it upgrades to dual vvti engine with more fuel efficient
X50 10km/L, not bad lar,
Better than Proton Exora turbo, good improvement
Perfect car
Finally, this facelift is getting better with full spec and more sport car design. Keep it up
Such proper design.
Awesome
Japanese makers are getting smarter, to prolong the use of the same design they are now giving 2 facelifts per model, and unlike German companies where they facelift sooner in 3 years they are doing the 5 & 7 years FL so they can continue to sell each model for 9 years instead of the normal 7. Silly European makers are now releasing new models every 5 years in few years time they will run into financial problems.
Innovative Car
Not too shabby and way better than dugong Vios
Tax free extend until Jun 2021 broo hihihi
