UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has opened the order books for the fourth-generation Toyota Vios, which will be offered in two variants. Estimated pricing starts at RM90,000 on-the-road without insurance for the base 1.5E, while the range-topping 1.5G goes for RM96,000.
In terms of features being advertised, the new Vios gains some notable improvements over its predecessor. As a start the available 9-inch Display Audio system now comes with support for wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay (previously wired only).
Elsewhere, the B-segment sedan now comes with rear air vents as well as an electronic parking brake with auto brake hold. The number of drive modes has also increased to three, namely Power, Eco and Normal (previously it was just Eco and Sport).
Other equipment mentioned in the leaflet include 17-inch alloy wheels, paddle shifters and a panoramic view monitor. Though not mentioned, you can clearly make out the 7-inch digital instrument cluster as well as a boot lid spoiler.
As for driver assistance systems, the Toyota Safety Sense suite makes a return and consists of familiar things like Pre-Collision System (autonomous emergency braking) and Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
Lane Departure Alert also makes a return but is now renamed to Lane Departure Warning and is supplemented by additional systems: Lane Departure Prevention and Lane Keeping Control. New features making their way in are Front Departure Alert, Auto High Beam and Adaptive Cruise Control.
Customers will have five colours to choose from, including Silver Metallic, Attitude Black, Nebula Blue Metallic and Spicy Scarlet, the last of which is the hero colour. The fifth option is Platinum White Pearl that will cost an additional RM400. A five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty accompanies each purchase.
Speaking of options, UMWT offers a Tech-Up package for RM380 that adds a rear digital video recorder, which likely complements the one already included for the front on both variants – the company’s Vehicle Telematics System (VTS) also appears to be part of the standard kit.
