New Toyota Vios launch...oops! I meant preview in Malaysia


UMW Toyota (UMWT) has unveiled the new Vios to the Malaysian media yesterday.
Indicative prices (OTR with insurance) are as follow:
Toyota Vios 1.5S – RM88,600
Toyota Vios 1.5G – RM85,300
Toyota Vios 1.5E - RM78,900

The proven (but rather gruffy) 1.5L engine plus its 4-speed auto transmission is carried over from the first generation (bargain-basement Soluna not taken into account) Vios.

Public preview of the new Vios continues today (5th October) at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre, Kuala Lumpur from 5pm to 10pm.

bmw.toyota,

So when you getting your new Vios?
1.5G or 1.5S?
Yep, the current Camry is a nice mid-size exec but the waiting list is getting from absurd to ridiculous!

Haven't decided yet. Don't really like the spoiler for the 1.5S but the black themed seats are great for a family with 2 messy kids like mine. We'll see....
