The engine should be the same. No additional horsepower. I think there are some finetunings to the gear ratio. That's why the response might be different.

Not gear ratio - it is the transmission control unit (software) that is changed.



Psychology problem? It is only 1cm lesser from Latio in terms of legroom and many more cm larger from City. Headroom is at least 1cm more than City but few cm lesser than Latio. If City is spacious and comfortable, this new Vios has surpassed it.



Well City from far looks like Jazz too.

Electrical power steering?! Hehe...

Price released...

The new Vios is now in Toyota showroom. I've sat in all S/G/E. They are so spacious. Boot space is smartly designed as less space is wasted.

Seen the new Vios. The S model looks fabulous with bodykit. Love the steering and the centre console and the centre armrest.

However, the material feels cheap compared to older version, and oh the rear cabin still feels cramped like the older version except for the legroom thanks to the new floor design.

Steering should feels lighter now and a slightly more powerful performance thanks to the implementation of an EPS. That's all i can say for now. Will test drive in a couple of days.

Yup. Agreed on the headroom at the back a bit low due to aerodynamic.

Lighter steering is nice and gives a bit more power to the car. Test drive with 5 ppl in the car and it still accelerates well.

Where can i go test drive. I have alerady book 1 but want to try it too

Go any toyota showroom lor e.g Segambut and others. They give u test drive

Anyone know how much is the older generation of vios selling now since the new one came out? Any shop still selling new second generation vios?

Dont you guys find the new Vios interior is worse than the previous Vios?

Total identity crisis.

the quality or the design?. i find the design "ok" though.

since early this year, vios already got 5-6k cash diskaun ...

Material quality. And i have sources that this is due to UMW's cut cost purposes. Damn UMW. And look at the front seats, the material inside the fabric is so thin that u can touch the "bones/skeleton" of the seats.

elongated yaris???

Exactly... Try feeling the plastic and fabric trim of the door panel, it feels like the one in Myvi. Previous generation has that grade A plastic feel but the new Vios just don't have it

But I do like the centre armrest and the gate shifter.

Sigh, when i sat inside the new Vios, i tot i was sitting in a Persona.
