2023 Toyota Vios review in Malaysia – DNGA brings big ... (Paul Tan's Automotive News)

With over 505,000 units sold in Malaysia across three generations, the Toyota Vios is a very important bread and butter model for UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT).

Paired with the 2NR-VE is a CVT that comes with seven virtual speeds and paddle shifters (new for the Vios). With expectations set right and a gentle right foot, the powertrain remains relatively quiet and pleasant to use in most cases, but there will be moments where the transmission sees fit to kick down and you’ll be hearing the more of the 2NR-VE that you would like to. Acceleration is competitive enough versus the City in a demonstrated drag race and is helped by the fact that the DNGA platform trims around 110 kg off the Vios’ weight compared to the outgoing model. The amount of room under the boot floor is certainly enough to accommodate hybrid components, and a The new centre console also houses two small storage cubbies and controls for an electronic parking brake (with auto brake hold) that is making its debut on fourth-generation model. Positioning aside, the head unit similar to the one you find in Corolla Cross, meaning you get a high-resolution display that is impressive for a car in this segment. Of course, looks are a subjective matter, so feel free to past judgement and compare it to the City in the comments below. With the new platform, the Vios has grown slightly, measuring in at 4,425 mm long (+5 mm), 1,740 mm wide (+10 mm) and 1,480 mm tall (+5 mm). A large gaping mouth is still present, but the surrounding elements help to make the design easier on this eyes, at least for this writer. Visually shorter overhangs are also part of the profile, and Toyota is keen to point out the Vios’ fastback design with its gently sloping C-pillars – do you agree with this claim? Even so, there’s no denying that a total overhaul was needed, especially when the Vios’ closest rival – the [Honda City](https://paultan.org/2021/10/13/2021-honda-city-video-review-in-malaysia/) – upped the ante in its [fifth generation](https://paultan.org/2020/10/13/2020-honda-city-5th-gen-launched-in-malaysia-1-5l-s-e-and-v-rs-ehev-hybrid-world-debut-from-rm74k/).

2023 Toyota Vios launched in Malaysia – DNGA; 1.5L NA, CVT ... (Paul Tan's Automotive News)

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has officially launched the fourth-generation Toyota Vios, which is being offered in two variants. That's two less than the outgoing ...

Other notable technical specifications relate to the size of the fuel tank (40 litres now instead of 42 litres previously), and the E has a smaller turning radius of 4.8 metres compared to the G’s 5.2 metres due to the different wheel sizes. Powering the Vios is a 2NR-VE 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that serves up 106 PS (104 hp) at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. UMWT offers five colours for the Vios, including Silver Metallic, Nebula Blue Metallic, Spicy Scarlet, Attitude Black and Platinum White Pearl, the last of which is a RM400 option. This list of systems is already an improvement over the previous model, but the G takes things a step further by also adding lane keeping control, auto high beam and adaptive cruise control. Other shared equipment is an RFID tag, front digital video recorder, a multi-function steering wheel, illuminated scuff plates, auto-folding side mirrors, keyless entry (touch sensor) and engine start, acoustic windshield glass and the Vehicle Telematics System (VTS) with a free three-year subscription. UMWT is marketing the Vios as a fastback, with the identifying cue being the gently sloping C-pillars that are accompanied by shiny black trim that serves to visually extend the window area. On the G, the taillights come with sequential turn signals, but this is not available for the E. Elsewhere, the centre console has been raised and features an armrest that hides a Qi wireless charger underneath. Design-wise, the Vios is immediately identified by its overhauled front end that features a large central intake flanked by air curtains (or vortex generators as they are labelled). Regardless of variant, the headlamps come with automatic on/off and follow me home functions, although levelling is done manually. That’s two less than the outgoing model, with the previous J and GR Sport (GR-S) versions being the absentees. Of more significance is the wheelbase that is now 70 mm longer at 2,620 mm.

The mix of materials and a more ergonomic layout is also vastly improved, giving the impression that the Vios is most definitely shedding its past persona for one more upmarket to match its higher price tag. Of course, the big story here is the fact that the Vios now rides on the DNGA (Daihatsu New Global Architecture) platform that’s also used as the basis for the Perodua Ativa, Perodua Alza, and Perodua Axia. Thanks to this new underpinnings, the Vios boasts much improved refinement, packaging, and dynamic potential. Inside, the Vios has been thoroughly modernised with a semi-digital instrument cluster and 9-inch freestanding infotainment screen with support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Overall, it’s a more stylish and charismatic proposition than its previous iterations. We look forward to a promising year ahead, full of opportunities to drive Malaysia’s economic growth and development,” said Datuk Ravindran K., President of UMW Toyota Motor. Only time will tell if it’ll be the big hit its predecessors were. Then again, it does now also carry a slightly more upmarket price and feature set.
