Am looking at buying Vios.

But the current generation is going to be replaced by a new generation, Yaris Ativ.

It is preferable to buy the latest generation, under normal circumstances.

But are there any reasons to buy the current generation, like discounts and other reasons, etc?

I saw the new ones on YouTube, looks cheap imho. The quality doesn’t seem so good. But yes some people will buy vios right now for the discounts.

I own the current version. the next one, 2023 will be based on Daihatsu new global architecture (dnga)

it the same platform as the new Alza and the current gen myvi. I also own the current gen myvi, and I do notice the nvh was not so nice compared to my vios.

so my take is, the current vios will probably the last one that uses Toyota platform. and, probably grab it while it still on market.

My god I'm going to scream obscenities over those NGA - NEW GLOBAL ARCHITECTURE platforms bullshit marketing and hype.

1) TNGA doesn't make your car handles better magically
2) those double wishbones marketed are actually single wishbones
3) DNGA won't make your new Vios become a Myvi or Alza
4) vice versa DNGA Myvi or Alza won't make them equate a Toyota even if the chassis drive train etc are all exactly the same. At the very least one is going into Perodua center and the other is going into Toyota center. (Deja vu Proton Inspira vs Mitsubishi Lancer)
5) a shared platform is just that, a platform. The end product can have variations in the end with different interior, different sound proofing, different materials, different panels, different drive train even (any modular global platform can share a same chassis and have different engines and/or transmission)

Point being, if current Vios is better than new 2023 Vios, it has nothing to do with DNGA.

hell, I'm inclined to believe the 2023 is better because the current Vios platform is fucking ancient.

Yup. We keep getting old yaris based platform
Even the current Yaris isn't the ones used in 1st world countries.
Seems like we 3rd world get a cheaper fork

Huh, the new Vios haven come out to Malaysia market already people say quality not good, bad etc... doh.gif
FYI, the next gen Vios is shared with Mazda 2, do you think Mazda will accept low quality interior.. Please judge it when the car is out..
BTW Vios is consider as city car (B-Segment) and not a sport car, dont expect good cornering or sporty feel.. it is meant to be A to B commute, fuel efficient, comfort and easy to maintain..

The only sporty variant is the Vitz Turbo/RS only available in Japan or limited Australia market

the moment you bought it, it is an old car

Wait for new one.. new TNGA/DNGA platform is a huge leap forward than the current Vios platform which is already close to 10 years old.
