This makes it an even more compelling choice for those looking for a reliable, efficient and affordable car.

The car’s proven 1.5-litre DOHC Dual VVT-i engine has been improved to deliver stronger performance.

With its new 7-speed CVT with sequential shiftmatic, the car also has quicker acceleration with enhanced fuel efficiency.

The new model comes equipped with the Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) feature, which offers enhanced safety for both driver and passenger.

The TSS has the capability to alert the driver of dangers and will act autonomously to prevent or avoid a collision.

Other new features such as paddle shifters and an electronic parking brake add more convenience to modern motoring.

The all-new Toyota Vios doesn’t just exude a premium experience in terms of safety and performance either, as the car is also fitted with high-grade displays, redesigned seats for a more comfortable driving posture, and improved materials throughout the interior cabin.

Unparalleled manufacturing standards

Manufactured at Assembly Services Sdn Bhd (ASSB) in Bukit Raja, Klang, quality standards are met throughout the efficient assembly process – following the “Toyota Way”.

The latest iteration of the Toyota Vios is the first vehicle to incorporate state-of-the-art technology during assembly such as using ultra-high tensile materials, a continuous frame design and increased welding spots – to give the car higher body rigidity and reduced mass.

“The use of advanced technology in the assembly of the all-new Toyota Vios not only enhances the quality and efficiency of production but also promotes the upskilling of our workforce, knowledge expansion within the industry and contributed positively to the local economy,” says Ravindran.

“We are proud to be driving growth in the nation through our commitment to quality standards and innovative manufacturing processes.”

A Vios for everyone

When it comes to purchasing the all-new Toyota Vios, customers have a wide range of options available, as the car comes in multiple variants with different accessories to help future Vios owners customise their vehicles to their liking.
