For as long as I could remember, the B-segment sedan market was the epicentre of the Malaysian automotive industry – it was the segment that commanded the most attention and one that had the greatest impact on our buying habits. And while plenty of segment players have come and gone, two titans remain etched in consumers’ minds – the Honda City and the Toyota Vios. Both cars battled it out for decades as king of this hotly-contested segment, each taking turns to deal blows with every passing generation, and each seemingly unwilling to back down. In recent years, it was the more modern, more competent City that secured the lead, helping Honda break Toyota’s stranglehold on the non-national sales title, as well as becoming the second most popular brand overall. Not a moment too soon, the new Vios was introduced just last month, here to reclaim the ground it lost. This time, however, there’s more to the battle than just its arch nemesis – in case you haven’t heard, the SUV is the new “in” thing, and with the emergence of the ever-popular Honda HR-V and with models from Proton and Perodua encroaching into the segment’s price range, it’s getting very crowded indeed. So, seconds out, round four – is the new Vios good enough not just to overcome its bitter rival, but also fend off the more desirable crossovers in the periphery – and make buyers overlook that enormous front grille? Toyota was eager for us to find out, so it got us to drive the latest heavyweight contender all the way to Desaru and back for a proper test. Toyota may bill this Vios as all new, but it actually rides on the same platform as before, dating back to the second-gen model from 2007. It doesn’t even have a new model code – instead, it continues the same NSP151 designation as its predecessor. Not to matter, because pretty much everything you can see and feel except the engine and transmission, which we’ll get to later has been revamped in one way or another. Not least of which are the looks, and it’s here that the company decided to throw caution to the wind, its Keen Look design language reaching cartoonish levels. It’s the front end that is divisive, with a humongous lower grille giving the car an absolutely massive grin, and a slim central inlet acting as a “moustache”. The effect is amplified by the vertical fog light surrounds that sit at the far corners of the bumper, flanking the grille. The rest of the design is pretty straightforward, with broader, slimmer and sharper head- and tail lights contributing to a wider look. Along the side, a new shoulder line sweeps upwards aft from the front wheels and stretches towards the rear doors, and there’s also a second line that crosses the door handles on its way towards the tail lights. The beltline also sweeps up more elegantly than before. Instead of offering a tarted-up TRD Sportivo model at the top of the range, UMW Toyota Motor is providing a bodykit as a standalone option on all models. I never liked these kits as they always added a lot of visual bulk, but I’ll admit that the front grille garnish on this one does disguise the size of that grille somewhat. The interior is more conventional, with the only controversial bit being the Lexus NX-esque protruding centre console. The fake stitching on the hard plastic dashboard is just as offensive as ever, but the presentation is at least a little more tasteful here, and it’s all screwed together in typical Toyota bombproof fashion. A new feature is the standard-fit automatic air-conditioning, which was previously only offered in other markets, although you still don’t get rear vents. Corolla Altis owners will be familiar with the redesigned three-spoke steering wheel, which loses the outgoing model’s slightly flattened bottom but still has a rim that is just a touch too thick for my liking, and which still doesn’t adjust for reach. Behind it sit a pair of clear, legible dials somewhat obscured by reflections that do a fancy sweeping motion on startup, as well as a new colour multi-info display that has been seen on everything from the Camry to the 86. At the back, the rear cupholders there are now two of them have been moved into the rear armrest, and the new USB charging ports are a godsend – even if they look like complete afterthoughts. Don’t expect any miracles in terms of cabin space, as the exterior dimensions remain largely identical. Sure, at 4,425 mm long and 1,730 mm wide, the new car is 15 mm longer and 30 mm wider, but it retains the old car’s 1,475 mm height and 2,550 mm wheelbase, so no packaging breakthroughs here. Indeed, you’re not gonna find rear legroom that would put D-segment sedans to shame – that’s still the City’s party trick – and rear headroom is also a little tight due to the sloping roofline. But it’s not what you’d call cramped by any stretch of the imagination, and you’ll still fit four adults comfortably. The boot, which measures the same 506 litres as before, is likewise not class leading but it’s plenty for groceries and luggage. Do bear in mind, however, that the 6040-split rear seats do not fold completely flat, the resulting bump making loading longer items a pain; the pews are also fixed on the base J variant. One area that sees a much-needed improvement is safety. All models now get seven airbags as standard up from just two before, joining stability control that was introduced across the range in 2016. What’s more, the top G model receives blind spot monitoring, but unfortunately you still don’t get autonomous emergency braking. Come on, Toyota – you can get a Perodua Myvi with this kind of technology! The engine remains unchanged for 2019, retaining the 2NR-FE litre Dual VVT-i naturally-aspirated four-cylinder mill that makes the same outputs as before – 107 PS at 6,000 rpm and 140 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. It’s now paired exclusively to a continuously variable transmission with a seven-speed mode and new paddle shifters for the G, meaning that, for the first time, there won’t be a manual option, not even on the J. Yes, before you rush into the comments, it’s yet another carryover engine and gearbox for the Vios, but at least here they are both fairly up-to-date, being only three years old. Indeed, the powertrain doesn’t feel at all outdated – it’s responsive and creamy smooth, and I’m pretty sure it will deliver the kind of fuel efficiency that buyers have come to expect in this segment. What it does feel is underpowered. Sure, a deficit of 13 PS and 5 Nm over the City may not seem like much, but when both power and torque outputs are barely into triple figures, you’re going to notice the difference. Especially if you compare the two cars back-to-back, like what Toyota let us do during the drive. Whereas the Honda will almost leap off the line, the Toyota struggles to get up to highway speeds, even though the engine itself is perky and willing to rev. It needs all the help it can get, and thankfully the CVT has been retuned to mitigate the relative lack of pace. I’ve previously criticised the transmission for being sluggish, and the recalibration goes some way towards addressing that, the CVT responding noticeably quicker to throttle inputs. The City is quicker still but at times it feels a little overeager, so it can be a bit difficult to drive smoothly. The Vios counters by reacting in more gradual and progressive manner, which is a benefit in stop-start traffic. Of course, you can play around with the new Sport mode conversely, an Eco mode is also available, which actually does a commendable job in making the car feel more sprightly, keeping the engine at higher revs and operating more like a stepped automatic transmission. The snappy seven-speed function also does a better job of mimicking actual gears compared to other similar systems – even though the paddles themselves feel disappointingly cheap. I’d leave it as it is, however; this is still a family car, after all, and there’s only so much the CVT can do to mask the shortfall in power. It’s just as well, then, that Toyota has not tried to chase a sportier driving experience, and instead sought to improve the Vios’ already impressive ride comfort and refinement. To that end, torsional rigidity has been increased thanks to a greater number of spot welding points and the use of underbody reinforcement, and spring and damper rates have also been updated. The car’s deputy chief engineer Akira Kasamatsu told us Toyota not only benchmarked the new Vios against the City but also larger, more sophisticated C-segment models – and it clearly shows. Next to the Honda, this is a much more relaxing car to cruise in on the highway, with much lower road and wind noise even at speeds well over triple figures – undoubtedly helped by the acoustic windscreen found on the E and G models. It also has the more absorbent ride, with soft springs and reasonable damping helping to iron out much of our pockmarked roads, even though it can’t quite shake off the cheap, hollow feel of most Japanese B-segment models. The result is a calmer drive, whether you’re just pootling along or travelling at a faster pace. Out on the open road, the City’s sharper steering makes an immediate first impression, but a lack of body control also means that it feels more nervous as speeds climb, an unfortunate Honda trait in recent years. The Vios, meanwhile, is more composed and stable – but two things count against it. Firstly, the car oddly tends to get affected by crosswinds, even at the national speed limit, causing it to meander around in its own lane. Correcting its trajectory isn’t such a straightforward task, either, no thanks to the steering that is so slow and vague as to give you no sense of connection to the front wheels. As you’d expect, this also counts against the Vios when it comes to going around corners, with the numb helm and excessive body roll discouraging you from driving in a more spirited manner, even though the chassis itself is more than capable of coping. Despite its sporting pretensions, this is a car whose comfort-oriented character nudges you into taking things slow in order to appreciate its strengths. Don’t let the stylistic overhaul fool you – the new Vios isn’t a wholesale revolution. Rather, it’s a surprisingly nuanced rejuvenation that leans heavily on the things that made this segment stalwart such a favourite for family buyers in the first place. However and this is a personal thing, I’ve always felt that UMW Toyota’s practice of offering bodykits and its insistence of turning it into an amateur race car sends mixed signals. For this is no longer the sportiest offering in this segment, neither possessing the most powerful engine nor the most dynamic of handling characteristics. For better or for worse, it’s the City that will give you what little enjoyment that can be had in this price range. But then, if performance and driver involvement is what you’re looking for, what on earth are you doing shopping for a B-segment sedan? More worrying for Toyota is the emerging brigade of crossovers looking to steal its lunch money, and we’ll have to wait and see if the market will shift away from the humble four-door. Be in no doubt, however, that the Vios has never been better equipped to take them all head on. But you’ll have to get over that big mouth first. The new Toyota Vios is on sale in Malaysia, priced at RM77,200 for the variant, RM81,200 for the and and RM87,300 for the Browse full specifications and equipment on Before you start crawling your eyes onto this up-close look at the technology and safety features of the 2019 Toyota Vios, it’s important to set your expectations first about this subcompact sedan. As we all know, the Vios isn’t known to be a high-tech vehicle. It’s a workhorse, designed to be a daily sedan – whether as a fleet car, a ride-sharing vehicle, a private ride, or as a cab. As such, the Vios won’t wow you in any way when it comes to what it can offer in its cabin. But instead, there are things that you might not expect in it, but it does. Just the Essentials As a E trim, the 2019 Vios is stripped down of convenient and performance tech found in most sedans like Eco Mode, Sport Mode, paddle shifters, power-folding side mirrors, and push-start button. That’s fine because, again, expectations. So yes, you will have to use your key to start the car and fold the mirrors yourself. You can adjust the latter through buttons, though, so there’s that. Speed-sensing door locks are also absent in the Vios, so you will have to lock the doors using the centralized electronic locks. As a consolation, the driver’s window is auto up and down, which is kind of unexpected but a welcome feat. In contrast to the car’s manual air-conditioning, the Vios E comes with a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system. It’s probably the crown jewel of the car, but it isn’t exactly new as this has been employed in its predecessor including the hidden CD player. What improved, however, is that the head unit is now more responsive and has minimal lag. Bluetooth pairing is possible for both iOS and Android devices, but the USB connection is exclusive for the former. Although, I would suggest not to use the head unit-embedded USB port as it charges smartphones very slowly; better to use a separate car charger using the 12V socket and connect via Bluetooth instead. Besides, handsfree calls are loud and clear as tested, albeit, listening to music isn’t that pleasurable with only four speakers within the cabin. Complete Safety Package Present throughout the entire 2019 Vios’ range is seven airbags. Yes, seven. That’s one for the driver, one for the front passenger, two sides, two curtain shield, and one bonus knee airbag for the driver. That’s a lot, mind you, but it is what it is. Apart from those things that cushion any type of impact, the Vios also comes with Vehicle Stability Control. This feature keeps you in control of the vehicle when avoiding a collision. Also included in the package are Hill Start Assist, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child seat tethers, and Brake Assist. With these features laid out, we all know what Toyota’s priorities are when speccing the 2019 Vios and the Rush and Yaris – all-around safety. Doesn’t matter if some convenient features are removed. As long as its patrons are safe and secure, Toyota’s product planning department would sleep soundly at night. And so are you, as a parent, if you’re giving this car to your child as a gift.

The undisputed king of subcompact sedans launched its all-new version midway through last year. The biggest criticism it received was about its price—the top-of-the-line G Prime variant's SRP exceeded P1 million. Perhaps as a means of shutting up its critics, Toyota Motor Philippines revealed the Vios XE variant earlier this year. It's the most affordable in the lineup equipped with a CVT, and was said by Toyota to exhibit all the brand's hallmark features while having the comfort of a clutch-less transmission. At P735,000, is the XE worth its price? Styling PHOTO Jason Tulio Compared to before, the all-new Vios' styling has become much sportier. Up front is a dynamic grille design with some sleek swept-back headlamps. From the side, the profile is much more defined, with deeply etched character lines giving the car some shape. In the rear, the beak-like taillights make the car look very much like its big brother the Camry. For a car as ubiquitous as the Vios, the sporty touches are a welcome addition. It looks good from most angles, and provides a good starting point for aesthetic modifications. Interior PHOTO Jason Tulio The XE's cabin features the expected fare of plastics and fabric seats. The former doesn't feel too solid but is adequate for the price point, while the latter is on the firm side. I found myself squirming a bit in heavy traffic to try and achieve a comfortable position. The steering wheel, meanwhile, only adjusts for tilt. On the plus side, the control layout is sensible and everything is easily within hand's reach. The rear seats, though, still suffer from the lack of roominess that the old models had as well. There's ample room for two people, but you start to question its validity as a five-seater when you're the middle passenger between two editors who are nearly six feet tall. Engine performance PHOTO Jason Tulio The XE is powered by a Dual VVT-i with 98hp and 123Nm on tap. On flat roads, it gives you as much pep as you need and even a little more when your cargo is light. On uphill climbs, though, some might find it to be a bit lacking. That's not to say it won't reach the summit, but it might take a while to get there. It doesn't help that the throttle response can feel dull once the incline changes. The CVT, which is Toyota's selling point for the XE, isn't the most responsive one we've tried. There's a distinct lag when you try to wring more torque out of the engine, and you find yourself testing the throttle's travel while the revs increase slowly. For city driving, this set-up is fine, but expect a bit of trouble on out-of-town trips with steep inclines. Still, the promise of fuel-efficiency while traversing bumper-to-bumper city gridlock is there, thanks to the small-displacement engine and CVT combo. Ride and handling PHOTO Jason Tulio Perhaps the best part about driving the Vios is its handling. No, it won't take sharp corners with abandon nor will the suspension allow you to do massive jumps unscathed. In fact, the sedate handling will hardly even get a rise out of you. For a daily driver subcompact, though, that's exactly what you want. The steering wheel is a little on the large side for the segment, and it turns with a smooth, unbothered momentum. It's just right. The ride, meanwhile, is plusher than you'd expect. It would've been better though if Toyota's engineers had raised the front bumper an inch or two. The car can scale speed bumps easily enough, but anything that involves a drop that's any steeper requires some careful maneuvering. Extra features PHOTO Jason Tulio The XE is a bit bare bones when it comes to tech we've come to expect from modern cars. There's no keyless entry, and there are also no controls to adjust the side mirrors from the cabin. But it does feature central locking, seven airbags, and a 7in touchscreen infotainment system with Bluetooth. It's a bit nitpicky, but we weren't too fond of the media system's interface. We couldn't figure out how to change tracks on a Bluetooth-connected device using only the touchscreen. Verdict PHOTO Jason Tulio As far as the Vios' prices go, the XE is an affordable variant. But it feels a bit underwhelming when compared to less expensive offerings from other brands looking to make a dent on the Vios' turf. Truth is, the Vios has become pricier. The trade-off, though, is Toyota's vaunted reliability and resale value—positives that only become evident later on in the ownership cycle. What the XE lacks in amenities, it makes up for in parts availability and the buyer's peace of mind.

Toyota Vios 2019 Philippines review Engine & Performance What makes the Vios 2019 tick is right under the hood, and the powertrain exceeds the capacity of the former model. Take note there will be slight bumps in engine and performance but an improved engine, does gives it a sweet spot.

When it comes to fuel efficiency, they are top-notch with ease of maintenance and cheap spare parts too! The powertrains come in to engines as options Overall displacement is 1329 cc or higher; with a horsepower of 98 to 106 Hp and has a torque of 123 to 140 Nm. They are the ranges of the to powertrains, with front-wheel-drive as well. Not to forget the suspension system that has MacPherson Strut Type with Coil Spring in the front, and Torsion Beam in the rear for smooth dampening action. When it comes to brakes; the front is a ventilated disc and with drum brakes for the rear for better safety. All these options lie under the hood for power and performance, but the smaller will fall behind the better-equipped If anyone says that the all new Vios 2019 is not that hot, show them the specs and make them weep! 5. 2019 Toyota Vios Philippines Safety & Security If safety and security was an issue with the previous model, then the new Toyota Vios 2019 is lightyears better in this respect. Now, Toyota has made a safe and quality sub-compact car that has a five-star ranking from ASEAN New Car Assessment Program NCAP because of the addition of airbags and Vehicle Stability Control VSC with Hill Start Assist HSA. The new Toyota Vios 2019 is lightyears better in the respect of safety and security Implementation of improved safety protocols includes the following safety features that protect both adult and children passengers. Take note that the older Vios was very compromised and isn’t an ideal car for children, due to the lack of relevant safety equipment. Airbags- dual, side, curtain 3-pt. ELR seatbelts Crash sensor Anti-lock brakes, Electronic brake assist, Brake assist Vehicle Stability Control VSC, Hill Start Assist HSA All these safety features are standard for all five-star ranked cars and should be standardized even for sub-compacts like the Vios 2019. All these add up to an excellent and safe car with value for money. Anyway, reliability and durability have always been what people think of when it comes to Toyota models. 6.

It’s omnipresent in the Philippines and with that, I’ve never bothered to look for its beauty beyond the ludicrous financing deals that it often comes with. Toyota Motor Philippines tried to give its best-selling model a bit of a character in its latest version. Armed with aesthetic deviations from the regular Vioses, the Prime variants offer more, and you can say that it’s an effort to attract buyers who want something different from a car that’s as common as your favorite tapsilog. Of course, that distinction comes with a price tag, but is it worth the added pesos? Here’s my take on the range-topping Vios G Prime. 2019 Toyota Vios Review Performance Engine Output HP, Acceleration, Transmission, Handling Design Exterior & Interior Design, Quality, Fit and Finish, Ergonomics Ride Comfort Cabin Comfort, Suspension, NVH Insulation Safety and Technology Convenience Technologies, Active and Passive Safety Features Value for Money Amount of the vehicle you get for the price, Fuel Efficiency What You Will Like Exemplary ride comfort. Complete set of safety features across the Vios range. Sturdy and composed at any given situation. What You Won't Like Copious amount of piano black plastics used inside. Lack of one-touch lane changer and cruise control at this price point. Odd placement of storage spaces in the cabin. How We Do Our Reviews Exterior When Toyota launched the new Vios, it’s like a newly-released iPhone – people loved or hated the revamped design. But just like all Apple products, fans still found ways to love the small sedan. Now, honestly, I’m on the fence about the grille-like fog lamp casings of the Prime variants, especially that they’re not as smoothly integrated to the body panels when inspected closely. But beyond that face, the added side, rear, and front skirts, as well as the trunk-integrated spoiler, are nice additions to this Prime variant. I also like the LED taillights on the top G variants and the piano black side mirrors. Headlights may not be LEDs but they’re the projector type so road illumination at night isn’t really an issue. Overall, the Prime variant is a great way to differ from the rest of the Vios range but that ends with your adoration of that polarizing fascia. And oh, those G-exclusive 16-inch alloys look great in my opinion. Interior Durable and decently-designed, the Vios G Prime’s interior isn’t any different from the E Prime in terms of materials used, save for some leather bits on the steering wheel and gear-lever shifter. The seats are covered in soft fabric while the majority of the cabin has hard and durable plastics. One glance and you’ll know that the cabin would retain its look for years – except for the piano black plastics that would scratch easily within months of ownership. The faux-stitches aren’t really my thing but to be fair, they marginally elevate the cabin’s aesthetic. As with the Vios E Prime that I reviewed before, things are left to be desired in the Vios G in terms of ergonomics and storage space. The cupholders are too deep good luck with your short/tall brewed coffee plus you’re left with a small cavity beside the hand brake lever and the puny center console box if you’re charging your phone while on the road. The rear passengers must make do with the door pockets, which, as a silver lining, are spacious and can probably fit a large Gatorade bottle. Nevetheless, this Vios’ trunk space is pretty generous but isn’t expandable because the rear seats don’t fold, so there’s that. Comfort Overall interior comfort remains as the Vios’ strong trait, thanks to its soft seats, spacious cabin, and soft suspension that could absorb reasonable road imperfections without inflicting impact to its occupants. The cabin’s quite insulated from outside noise, too, except when reaching legal speeds wherein wind and road noises start to creep in. As for the driver, the seating position’s okay for short distances but you’ll feel a bit of fatigue during long drives due to the lack of upper back support. For my height, it wasn’t hard to find a comfortable position since the car has a seat height-adjuster, but I really wish the steering column has a telescopic adjustment for a much better driving position. Technology This is where the Vios G has the upper hand against the lower variants. It has speed-sensing door locks, automatic headlights, powered adjustments and retraction for the side mirror, and a push-button ignition system. All these things work like a charm but the lack of one-touch lane changer and cruise control left me scratching my head since that would have been a nice addition to the list of tech toys at this price point. As for the infotainment, the G gets the same touchscreen 7-inch display that has crisp colors and fairly okay interface. Smartphone integration is okay for the most part but the 6-speaker system’s output is better than the E, albeit, not suitable for playing really loud music. Of course, you also have a remote trunk opener in this Vios top variant. I was initially surprised to discover that the G variant doesn’t have rear sensors nor a parking camera. Thankfully, at the time of writing this review, TMP has announced that top variants E Prime, G, and G Prime get a reverse camera, moving forward. Safety Seven airbags, front seatbelt pretensioners, five 3-point seatbelts, stability control, hill-start assist, ABS with EBD and brake assist, seatbelt reminders, and ISOFIX child seat tethers – these things make the Vios a standout in terms of safety. So much so, in fact, that the Vios gets a high 5-star rating in ASEAN NCAP. Even better, the whole Vios ranger gets all these safety features, even the most basic taxi trim. Driving & Handling Up by almost 200cc of displacement versus the lower variants, the Toyota Vios’ carryover 2NR-FE provided ample power to get the small sedan up to speeds. Its CVT, however, stood as this car’s limitation. It worked smooth and faint, but abrupt changes in speed needed patience as the reaction from the engine wasn’t quick. The paddle shifters weren’t much of a help at all since it’s hard to discern the difference between its manual shifts. The Sport mode, on the other hand, would only rev the engine higher but the response was rather stale. With this, the Vios with CVT is a relaxed city car and an alright highway cruiser. If you want a more engaging drive with a Vios you’ll have to opt for the stick shift G MT variant. Unfortunately, the G Prime isn’t available with this transmission type. Handling-wise, the Vios has a nicely weighted steering that’s a joy to have on highway stints. In the city, though, those with weak arms might find it heavy. There’s a considerable amount of understeer when tackling corners at speeds, but it’s understandable for a front-wheel drive. Since its suspension was tuned for comfort, there’s forgivable body roll when on mountain passes but overall, the car feels sturdy and composed in any given situation. Fuel Efficiency Of course, with a bigger engine, the Vios G was less frugal than its counterparts, but it wasn’t bad at all. An hour of crawl through city traffic returned km/L while doing Sunday errands at an average speed of 60 km/h clocked in km/L. On the highway, I got a good km/L while trying to keep the car at a steady pace at 90 km/h for 30 minutes. Verdict The Toyota Vios will always be a top-seller because of its variant lineup that ranges from P662,000 to P1,113,000 at the time of this writing. That positive trait is also this car’s caveat, as the Vios G Prime’s P1,098,000 price tag is only a few thousands short in reaching the bigger Corolla Altis’ SRP, albeit, the latter is on its basic trim level. Now, that’s a dilemma for you, especially since the compact sedan rides on the newer TNGA platform. At the end of the day, it really depends on your preference. The Vios G Prime trim is perfect for those who want a reliable, no-frills sedan but want a bit of distinction. For those who want to blend in, the lesser-priced variants aren't such a bad choice but expect fewer niceties as well. If you want to be different and you’re okay with tad less power, then the E Prime should be your pick. After all, the Vios will remain a best-seller in the Philippines based on its badge alone. TMP just gave you an added option if you don’t want to dress up your car yourself. It might not have reached its prime with this version, but that makes me all pumped up to see what Toyota has in store for the upcoming all-new, TNGA-underpinned model.
