While Malaysians are still reeling from the all-new Toyota Vios’ higher starting price than its popular predecessor, up north in Thailand, buyers are gladly accepting the fourth-generation sedan in stride. According to sales data compiled by Autolife Thailand, a total of 18,242 units of the Toyota Yaris Ativ, which is what the Vios is called in the Land of Smiles, were sold in the first quarter of 2023.
