A bit of a mind bender eh? The answer is Laos, and this is their 2023 Toyota Vios that's just been introduced there. It's the first left-hand drive (LHD) version of the car, and also the first to officially wear the 'Vios' name – in Thailand where it made its global debut, it's sold as the Yaris Ativ.
