Toyota Vios 1.5E vs 1.5G
Verdict
At RM90,600 versus RM96,600, the Toyota Vios 1.5G asks RM6,000 more than the Toyota Vios 1.5E, but the hard numbers do not move. Both use a 1,496 cc petrol engine with 104 hp and 138 Nm, a CVT, front-wheel drive, 5.2 L/100 km economy and a 180 km/h top speed. Cabin and luggage numbers are unchanged too, with five seats, a 2,620 mm wheelbase and 475 litres of boot space. On paper, the E is the value play; the G only makes sense if its trim kit matters to you.
Pick the Toyota Vios 1.5E if you want the same 104 hp, 138 Nm, 5.2 L/100 km figure and 475-litre boot for less money.
Pick the Toyota Vios 1.5G if you have checked the equipment list and its higher trim matters more than saving RM6,000.
