UMW Toyota Motor has officially announced the start of order taking for the new Toyota Vios facelift, shortly after the company did the same with the revamped Yaris. Like the hatchback, the sedan will be offered in three variants, including the J, E, and G.
Estimated prices start at $ 75,701 for the base J, $ 85,674 for the mid-spec E, and $ 89,232 for the upper-range G variant. Compared to the outgoing model, the J is now cheaper at RM400, while the E and G are priced higher at RM5,600 and RM3,100, respectively. It should also be noted that the entire revamped Vios range is priced higher compared to the Yaris, which has an estimated starting price of RM 71,688.
The standard factory warranty is five years with unlimited mileage, and all estimated prices are on the highway, excluding insurance, but factors in the government’s 2020 sales tax exemption. The sedan gets the maximum exemption from SST as it is assembled locally (CKD) in Bukit Raja, Klang.
In terms of styling changes, the Vios will have the same front end as its hatchback sibling, with the main grille and bottom entry fused to form a large mouth, finished in black. There’s also a new bumper with a redesigned fog lamp section, while the headlights are now triple-bezel LED units that have a follow-me-home and DRL function.
The sleeker headlamps are standard across the J, E and G range, and represent a huge step up from previously used halogen headlamps. Also, the car seen in these photos is the G variant with an optional RM2,800 aerokit, adding the front and rear bumper edges, side skirts, and a spoiler on the boot lid.
The striking shade you see here is Metallic Orange, one of five colors available for the Vios, with the others being Platinum White Pearl, Dark Blue Metallic, Red Mica Metallic, and Silver Metallic. Interestingly, the Yaris has a smaller selection compared to the sedan, as it loses the orange and dark blue finishes.
Available interior equipment for the Vios includes automatic air conditioning, an Optitron meter panel with multi-color information display, an electrochromic rearview mirror (new), shift paddles, drive mode switch, a larger 7.0 touch screen inches with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, and UMWT’s Vehicle Telematics System is now standard on the E and G variants. A wireless charger is also available (an add-on in the center console box).
Like the Yaris, the revamped Vios also features the Toyota Safety Sense suite of driver assistance and safety systems. The suite includes a Pre-Collision System (PCS), operating from 15 km / h, using a camera and radar to warn the driver and provide autonomous emergency braking. There is also a Lane Departure Alert (LDA) that warns the driver of unintentional lane changes, working from 50 km / h.
These systems are in addition to the new 3D 360-degree panoramic view monitor, VSC, Hill Start Assist Control, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Front / Rear Digital Video Recorders. The seven airbags (dual front, side, curtain, driver’s knee) already offered previously must also be transferred.
