Verdict
The Toyota Vios NGC102 is the newer, dearer take at RM90,600, RM13,400 above the Toyota Vios NSP151 Facelift at RM77,200. It gets the same 1.5-litre/CVT/front-drive layout, but the gains are targeted: 5.2 versus 5.8 L/100 km, 180 versus 170 km/h, a 70 mm longer wheelbase and AEB. The older car still has the numbers where daily use hurts: 506 litres of boot space versus 475, seven airbags versus six, and fractionally more output. This is closer than the age gap suggests.
Pick the Toyota Vios NSP151 Facelift if you want the lower price, larger boot and seven airbags without giving up the basic 1.5-litre CVT formula.
Pick the Toyota Vios NGC102 if you want the newer generation’s longer wheelbase, lower claimed fuel use and auto emergency braking.
