The Toyota Vios has its ups and downs but there is no denying that it is still a hugely popular car. You can’t walk 10 steps without stumbling over one in a parking lot. The Vios seems like it’s been around for years, 18 years to be exact. Wait what? But it feels longer! It’s true that the Vios started life only in 2002. It was a car created specifically to be sold in the Asia-Pacific market taking over the small sedan segment baton from what ASEAN regions know as the Toyota Soluna. Never heard
Toyota Vios Toyota telah melancarkan Toyota Vios facelift 2020 terbaru di pasaran Filipina. Pelancaran ini dilakukan secara atas talian di laman facebook rasmi Toyota Motor Philippines. Model facelift ini hadir dengan rekaan gril hadapan dan belakang serba baharu. Gril tersebut kini hadir dengan warna hitam berkilat. Selain itu, rekaan lampu DRL turut dikemaskini, lampu LED hadapan kini dengan gaya 3 aras (3 level LED) dan rekaan lampu kabus yang dikemaskini. Bagi aspek keselamatan pula, Toyota
Typical of such pre-launch teasers, details are intentionally held back but the tone and manner of the communication suggests something youthful, emotional and sporty. So we can safely rule out cars like the Toyota Fortuner and Toyota Innova, both of which are also due for an update, following a similar refresh for the shared IMV-platform Toyota Hilux. Could it be the new updated Toyota Vios and Toyota Yaris then? Bookings are opened for both models, both are yet to be launched. The Vios-Yaris t
Remember the new 2020 Toyota Vios facelift rendering from a month ago? Well, it turns out that the rendering is quite accurate as the actual car has leaked on CarGuide.ph. Seen here are three variants of the updated Toyota Vios, which have been leaked ahead of its 25-July debut in the Philippines. The revised front-end is far more aggressive-looking than the outgoing model, featuring a massive black one-piece grille design that looks like it was lifted off the Toyota Corolla Altis/Camry. It also
Bullet-proof reliability and good value for money is how most people would describe a Toyota. The Toyota Hilux, Toyota Corolla, and Toyota Camry are globally popular models that have further solidified the brand’s association with reliability. A less globally-popular car from Toyota would be the Toyota Vios. Not because it’s a bad car, but because it was made primarily for the Asia-Pacific region. The Toyota Vios debuted in 2002. Its close competitor was, and still is, the Honda City. Another op
UMW Toyota Motor introduced the new Vios earlier this year, refreshing its popular B-segment sedan with a completely new look and a generous dose of equipment. But does the updated Toyota Vios range have what it takes to lure buyers away from the popular Honda City? Specifications for Toyota Vios Engine: 1.5-litre, naturally aspirated, port injection, Dual VVT-i Power: 107 PS @ 6,000 rpm Torque: 140 Nm @ 4,200 rpm Transmission: CVT-type automatic, front-wheel drive Safety: 7 airbags, ESC, TRC, B
If you’ve been following our posts, you would’ve known by now that UMW Toyota Motor is expected to launch a new 2020 Toyota Vios facelift in December. You wouldn’t expect the company to sit idly while watching the all-new 2020 Honda City and 2020 Nissan Almera muscle into its territory right? As a follow up to that, we have received news that Toyota will also be adding a Gazoo Racing variant of the new Vios, possibly wearing the GR Sport badge. It’s a logical move because a Toyota Vios GR Sport
Yet another strong competitor has jumped into the mix of Thailand’s B-segment sedan market! Toyota Motor Thailand has launched the new 2020 Toyota Yaris Ativ 1.2L facelift. The Toyota Yaris Ativ in Thailand is sold in Malaysia as the Toyota Vios but with a different, larger 1.5-litre engine. Cosmetically, the Yaris Ativ bares the same changes as the 2020 Toyota Vios facelift introduced in the Philippines last month. The Ativ will feature new automatic LED headlamps with follow-me-home system pai
On paper, the Toyota Vios has got it all. 7 airbags, 360-degree Panoramic View Monitor, brilliant driving experience, a supremely quiet cabin (69 dB at 110 km/h based on our tests) and more in a very attractive price starting from RM 77,200 to RM 87,300 for the range topper. But there is one deal breaker that has us halting and reaching for the Toyota Yaris brochure (which, mind you, is very similar to the Vios’) instead, and that is the very annoying blind-spot monitor beep. Yes, both the Vios
A week after Honda Malaysia teased the all-new 2020 Honda City, they've done it again with today's post - this time confirming the availability of LED headlights. And they've paired the post with a particularly spicy caption too: Time to expose the pretenders. #nomatch #allnewcity #thetakeoverstartsnow A very bold claim to egg on the Toyota Vios. Speaking of which, last week Toyota Malaysia answered with a smart rebuttal claiming that the Vios is timeless. This time? It'd be interesting to see w
The hottest car segment is undeniably the B-segment sedans. You can’t talk about the Honda City without mentioning the Toyota Vios and likewise. But have you ever compared the two cars’ equipment list side by side? For this comparison, we compare the range topping Toyota Vios G variant against the Honda City V variant and City Hybrid as well. Toyota made a huge mark when they debuted the Vios in 2003, but the third generation, unfortunately, let the model down allowing the City to take home the
As the all-new 2020 Honda City romps in the limelight, another long-standing competitor is getting ready to fight back - yes, the facelifted 2020 Toyota Vios is well on its way here! Old Toyota Vios sold out Before we dive deeper into the facelift, here's what we gathered: sources close to the matter at hand said that the current Vios is completely sold out. Due to this, it is said that Vios buyers who have had their loans approved will automatically be upgraded to the facelifted model when it a
Hyundai Accent telah lama mengundurkan diri daripada pasaran Malaysia sejak generasi ketiga yang lalu. Namun begitu, negara-negara jiran telah lama memiliki sedan segmen B dari Korea ini dimana ia bersaing dengan Toyota Vios dan Honda City. Di Vietnam, Hyundai Accent facelift 2021 untuk generasi kelima telah dilancarkan. Menurut gambar, nampaknya kita terlepas sesuatu yang menarik buat saingan sedan segmen B di Malaysia. Menurut AutoPro, Hyundai Accent facelift hadir dengan pembaharuan pada gril
Barely a day after UMW Toyota Malaysia (UMWT) teased the 2021 Toyota Vios facelift, we've now got the estimated price list for the updated B-segment sedan. Estimated prices of the 2021 Toyota Vios facelift 2021 Toyota Vios estimated price list Variant 1.5 J (AT) 1.5E (AT) 1.5G (AT) Price RM 75,701 RM 85,674 RM 89,232 The estimated price list shown above are SST-exempt (valid until 31-Dec 2020), on-the-road sans insurance and road tax.

Toyota Motor Philippines (TMP) has officially confirmed that they will be launching the new Toyota Vios facelift and they are inviting you to watch their live digital launch. The digital launch is set at 6 pm and will be aired on TMP’s official Facebook page this Saturday, 25th July 2020. What do we know so far of the upcoming Vios facelift? Unlike the previous major facelift, this round of updates are limited to only cosmetic changes. While the Toyota Vios in Malaysia is offered only with a 1.5
Toyota Vios Toyota Vios terkenal dengan ketahanan yang boleh diharap. Beli sahaja mana-mana model Vios, anda tak perlu fikir banyak tentang masalah-masalah yang perlu dihadapi. Tahan lasak, tak banyak masalah dan jimat minyak adalah pemangkin kepada penjualan Toyota Vios di Malaysia. 15 tahun di bumi bertuah ini, Toyota Vios turut digelar atau disamakan dengan spesis ikan. Vios ‘Dugong’, Vios ‘Dolphin’ dan Vios ‘Keli’ adalah beberapa gelaran generasi Toyota Vios yang memudahkan pengguna untuk me
It looks like the all-new 2020 Honda City will be arriving in Malaysia sooner than expected. Fresh after its world debut in Thailand late last year, Honda Malaysia has today posted a teaser image for the all-new Honda City. With a caption that’s clearly aimed at archrival Toyota Vios. Honda Malaysia’s Facebook post’s caption said: "The game will no longer be the same. Watch this space. #yourtimeisup #allnewcity #thetakeoverstartsnow" It looks like we will be getting the signature red colour for
The B-segment sedan race is heating up for sure with UMW Toyota just only announcing (estimated) prices for the latest 2021 Toyota Vios facelift. Malaysians are pretty much spoilt for choice in getting a brand-new B-segment sedan with rivals like the Honda City and the Nissan Almera also vying to get buyers. However, which of the three would be the right choice? We’ll take a quick look and compare the highest specs (highest petrol-powered variant in the case of the City) of the 3 popular non-nat
2021 is fast shaping up to be a very exciting one for Malaysia's automotive industry. Other brands notwithstanding, let's take a look at what new cars we can expect from UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) in Malaysia in 2021. All-new 2021 Toyota Harrier The fourth-generation Toyota Harrier is an all-new model, built on the Toyota New Global Architecture (TNGA) platform (TNGA-K to be exact, like the Toyota RAV4). In Japan, powering the Harrier are a choice of two powertrains: a 2.0-litre petrol engine (171
Toyota Vios Beberapa minggu lepas, kami menjangkakan bahawa Toyota Vios facelift 2021 akan hadir ke Malaysia sebelum 2020 menutup tirai. Nampaknya, ramalanku benar belaka. Selain daripada Toyota Vios, Toyota Yaris facelift juga sah bakal hadir sebelum 2021. Menurut laman Facebook rasmi Toyota, bukan 1 tetapi 2 model akan dilancarkan oleh UMW Toyota Malaysia hujung tahun ini. Toyota Vios dan Toyota Yaris, kedua-duanya merupakan model terlaris Toyota di samping Toyota Hilux. Dengan kehadiran Honda
Here it is - UMW Toyota Malaysia (UMWT) has teased the new facelifted 2021 Toyota Vios in Malaysia! It's just a small tease for now, but we now have a clearer idea of what the all-new 2020 Honda City and 2020 Nissan Almera fighter will bring. The small teaser shows off the Vios new front fascia and LED headlights - good additions because buyers of the new Almera and City will get those depending on variant chosen. The design is very similar to the Thailand-spec Yaris Ativ, but expect some design
If you've been following our website, you'll know that the 2021 Toyota Vios facelift will bring with it a new variant - the Vios GR Sport. To most of us, a Vios with Gazoo Racing touches is a bit of a surprise. But that's happening, so it isn't too far-fetched to expect the 2021 Toyota Corolla Altis GR Sport in Malaysia too, since Thailand already has that model on sale. Drawing inspiration from Toyota's performance-oriented GR models, the Thai-spec Corolla Altis GR Sport gets significant aesthe
Well, this is rather surprising, as a recent news report from Vietnam has mentioned that Toyota will be introducing the souped-up Toyota Vios GR Sport in the country soon. The left-hand drive Vios GR Sport was earlier previewed to dealers, in which Toyota Vietnam said that the model will be launched some time in February. Like the Malaysian-spec car, the Vios GR Sport that’s set to go on sale in Vietnam appears to don the exact kit, encompassing a unique front bumper, body kit, and spoiler. Howe
Toyota Vios Sebelum ini, terdapat khabar angin yang mengatakan bahawa Toyota Vios bakal menerima facelift ringkas pada hujung tahun 2020. Tidak mahu diketepikan dari saingan Honda City 2020 serba baru dan Nissan Almera Turbo 2020 serba baru, Toyota Vios dikatakan bakal mengenakan facelift berdasarkan Toyota Yaris Ativ di Thailand. Sehubungan dengan itu, Toyota Vios 2020 facelift tersebut turut dilaporkan bakal menerima varian GR (Gazoo Racing). Gazoo Racing adalah lencana prestasi Toyota yang me
Toyota’s small cars family will be next in line to benefit from Toyota’s much vaunted TNGA platform. Short for Toyota New Global Architecture, the all-new TNGA platform has been the key reason why recent Toyota models like C-HR, Camry, and Corolla have been grabbing the title of best-in-class handling away from Mazda. Currently, there are three variations of Toyota’s TNGA platform (actually there are four if you include the Lexus LS’ GA-L). GA-C was the first of the TNGA platform series introduc
Shortly after prices for the 2021 Toyota Vios facelift were announced, we heard you ask: 'What's new? What's still the same?" These questions are what we'll be answering in this article. Exterior - Hey there, good lookin' Like its recently-facelifted 2021 Toyota Yaris stablemate, the redesign makes the Vios look more mature. Toyota has done away with the catfish-esque design of the pre-facelift model, this time employing sharper LED head lamps with integrated daytime running lights (DRLs) to acc
After much teasing, the 2020 Toyota Vios facelift has just been launched in the Philippines. The launch was done virtually over Toyota Motor Philippines' official Facebook page. The facelifted Toyota Vios receives a cleaner, sleeker new front face, that is reminiscent of its bigger siblings, the Corolla Altis and Camry. The new foglamp design also gets tucked neatly down at the front bumper. All else about the Vios' exterior remains the same, even the wheel design. For the first time in a Vios,
Toyota Vios Kami telah melaporkan sebuah imej render Toyota Vios tidak lama dahulu. Nampaknya, imej gambaran tersebut adalah benar! Carguide dari Filipina telah menerima beberapa keping gambar intipan yang mengukuhkan lagi gambaran tersebut. Pasaran Filipina bakal menerima Toyota Vios facelift ini pada 25 Julai 2020. Ada yang tak sabar-sabar rupanya di sana! Daripada apa yang boleh dilihat, perumah lampu kabus (fog lamp) di sebelah bawah telah direka lebih kecil dengan sisipan udara (air vent) y
UMW Toyota akan melancarkan satu model baru pada 17 Disember. Sudah menjadi kebiasaan promo acah pada fasa awalnya, maklumat terperinci belum didedahkan. Tapi, cara dan intonasi iklannya berbunyi agak ‘hip’, ditujukan kepada orang muda dengan gaya. Oleh itu, kita dah boleh jangkakan yang ia barangkali bukannya Toyota Fortuner mahupun Toyota Innova, walaupun kedua-dua model ini sudah patut menerima kemaskini, meniru penambahbaikan yang baru seperti Toyota Hilux yang berkongsi platform IMV. Mungki
Selain Toyota Vios facelift 2021, ramai juga menantikan Vios GR Sport yang lebih hangat. Dikhabarkan muncul pada malam ini, inilah gambaran pertama daripada imej yang tertular di Facebook. Kelihatan cukup mendahagakan, bukan? Bampar yang lebih sporty, kit badan yang unik, dan rekaan roda yang ranggi membuatkan ia kelihatan seperti Toyota GR Yaris 2021. Beberapa info yang tertular di sini sebenarnya bertepatan dengam apa yang telah kami laporkan sebelum ini. Antara yang paling menarik ialah trans
