KUALA LUMPUR, March 26 — After what seemed like an eternity, the Toyota Vios has finally gotten a proper roof-to-tyres makeover, representing the greatest leap forward for the...
Revised “fastback” design
At the front, you’ll find slim and sharp LED headlights that flank a massive grille covering almost the entire face of the car. Borrowing a trend from other carmakers, the roofline now sweeps towards the rear, a design that Toyota calls a “fastback”. At the rear, you’ll find trapezoidal taillights and rear diffuser; the whole look is finished off by 17-inch alloy wheels.
There’s also a nine-inch infotainment touchscreen fitted as standard, which comes with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto — features that aren’t offered even on some vastly more expensive cars. The 1.5G model goes two steps further with a seven-inch digital instrument display and a Mercedes-Benz-style 64-colour ambient lighting system, although this can only be found in the front storage compartment and the footwells.
Worse still, the new Vios lacks certain features expected in the class , such as a folding rear seat that would’ve allowed users to fit longer cargo. There’s also no spare tyre ; instead, there’s just a tyre repair kit hidden underneath the boot floor. And we’ve already had past experience as to whyAs the new Vios is based on a Daihatsu platform, it also uses that company’s engine and transmission.
