Toyota Vios Facelift Comes With Toyota Safety Sense And Extra Features

The Toyota Vios facelift not only gets a cosmetic makeover, it also comes with Toyota Safety Sense and other convenient features.

The appearance enhancement gives the Vios a more athletic and dynamic presence. There is a new chiseled front bumper, grille design, an aero kit with front lip, and triple bezel full LED headlights with daytime running lights.

The new headlights include a follow-me-home function for greater safety and convenience. This feature is extended throughout the Vios range in the J, E and G variants.

Safety is Priority

Safety is a priority in the updated Vios – It is the first in its segment to have been awarded with a 5-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating. The enhanced Vios now comes equipped with Toyota Safety Sense (TSS) features that incorporates a pre-collision system (PCS) and a lane departure alert (LDA).

PCS is activated from 15km/h to reduce the risk of colliding with a preceding car, alerting the driver once it detects a vehicle within the colliding distance and assists to reduce vehicle speed as additional support to the driver.

Meanwhile, LDA is activated from a speed of 50km/h and above, and alerts drivers to unintended lane changes by giving a visual alert on the car’s Multi-Info Display and a beeping sound. This system can also be turned off at the discretion of the driver.

These features are in addition to existing safety features built into the car in the form of Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRC), Hill-Start Assist Control (HAC), Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA), and Front as well as Rear Digital Video Recorders (DVRs).

It is also the only car in it segment to be fitted with seven SRS airbags (dual front, side, curtains and driver’s knee protection).

Convenient Features

The enhanced Vios also features an all-new 3D 360 degree panoramic view monitor, giving the driver a surround and unobstructed front, rear, top, sides and three dimensional virtual views of the vehicle.

To ensure that customers enjoy the best of navigation applications, connectivity and infotainment, the enhanced Vios is now topped with a 7” inch Android Auto-Ready & Apple CarPlay (AACP).

Furthermore, Vehicle Telematics System is also made as a standard feature for the Vios (G&E variants) in line with the company’s direction to enhance Connectivity under its 360-T Plus brand experience.

New Colours

Offered with a choice of two new colours, Orange Metallic and Platinum White Pearl, customers can also opt from existing colours available that include Dark Blue Metallic, Red Mica Metallic and Silver Metallic.

“The enhanced Vios has an even more dynamic presence with a front silhouette that is consistent with models such as the Corolla, Camry and the recently-enhanced Yaris. Yet, despite this strong family resemblance, the Vios projects its own unique personality that has made it popular with a diverse demographic of buyers,” said President of UMW Toyota Motor Sdn. Bhd., Mr. Ravindran K.

First launched in January 2019, the latest generation sub-compact 1.5-litre Vios has established itself as a popular-selling entry-level sedan, enjoying a sterling record in safety, reliability, practicality and has the distinction of being a big value for money proposition.

It is now available for online bookings and also at all authorised Toyota showrooms nationwide. The Vios is backed by a 5-year warranty with unlimited mileage. Prices will be announced soon.

Customers will continue to benefit from the current waived sales tax for new and locally-assembled vehicles.
