Toyota Vios 1.5G vs Hybrid
Verdict
At RM96,600 versus RM103,900, the Toyota Vios Hybrid asks RM7,300 more than the Toyota Vios 1.5G. Both are CKD B-segment sedans with the same 4,425 mm length, 2,620 mm wheelbase, 40-litre tank, six airbags, AEB, five-year warranty and RM90 road tax. The Hybrid adds a 0.8 kWh battery and eCVT, but its listed outputs are lower at 90 hp and 121 Nm against 104 hp and 138 Nm, and boot space drops from 475 to 465 litres. On paper, you are paying for the hybrid drivetrain, not extra size or safety.
Pick the Toyota Vios 1.5G if you want the lower price, higher listed outputs and the bigger 475-litre boot.
Pick the Toyota Vios Hybrid if you specifically want the petrol-hybrid/REV drivetrain and accept the RM7,300 premium.
