Toyota has just released the facelifted Vios in Thailand. The timing couldn't have been more appropriate with the onslaught of the Mazda 2 sedan, and the upcoming Ford Fiesta sedan. Externally, the cosmetic changes include a revised grille, rear tail lamp and chromed boot lid. The 1.5L VVTI unit with 4 speed transmission in the current Vios continues to power the facelifted model.

 

The set of interior photos revealed some interesting changes. There is the availability of a Heads-Up Display module that displays the current speed of the car on the windscreen. The revised steering wheel looks more sporty with a flatter bottom. a nice touch! Another commendable feature is the inclusion of an engine start/stop button. This feature is also available in the hot korean model - the Kia Cerato Forte. I believe Toyota has to step up its game against the koreans. An area that I hope to see improvement in the new Vios is the usage of better quality plastics for the interior.

 

Expect the revised Vios to reach our local shore in a couple of months' time.

The HUD is aftermarket - I installed the same one for myself, minus the Toyota brand not printed on the HUD box :p

 

IMHO, I say that the steering wheel looks darn nice, much better than the current ones :)

Chromed camry-like grille?? Old Toyota thinks the whole world is full of Ah pek with ah pek taste?

 

The FL just successfully made the Vios more "mature" by giving it's targeted market of Young buyers a camry-like grille? Seriously to all the young car owners....what do you think about it?

 

As a driver of the prev gen Vios, I was utterly disappointed by the direction Toyota is take on their car designs.

 

The prev-vios has such sporty and young hints in it's design, especially the pre-FL version. Even the current pre-FL Vios looks so much younger.

 

I think I'll give Toyotas a miss until they buck up their looks department in their future lineups.

At least the bother to print the toyota word on it. the current camry with the tomtom HU look even more aftermarket..

  • Japan: The trend that became a turn-off

    Ahh Japan. The destination that many travellers desire. The perennial trending subject on social media. Japanese cuisine, culture, quirks, technology, and everything kawaii have inspired endless posts, stories, reels, YouTube videos, and TikToks. If one didn't know better, you'd think it was the dream destination on this planet. While I love the food, the service and the shopping, the sheer number of tourists (me included) has become a turn-off. I'm not talking about those who inconven

    Less caffeine leads to more dreams

    There's nothing like a double espresso to kickstart your morning, especially if it's extracted from medium- or dark-roasted beans. What a tasty way to begin the day. I enjoy coffee, but I'm not a caffeine addict so it's not a must for me to consume. In fact, lately, I've only been drinking it once or twice a week - doing this ensures that when I do drink it (to power my way through a hectic day), the caffeine kick will be well and truly felt. I did not stop drinking coffee thrice a day

    Fascinated by honey

    If there's one natural food (aka can be eaten raw) that I absolutely love, it's honey. Yes, there are countless varieties from around the world, but for this story, we'll talk about the kind that comes straight out of a hive, complete with honeycomb. I'm not an expert on this topic, but every time I consume raw, unprocessed honey, it tastes a lot better compared to honey that comes in a jar. No squeeze-bottle honey for me, please. Perhaps it's just my imagination, but raw honey doesn't

    Forget the Future - Embrace the Past

    Ah, the future. That shiny, chrome-plated paradise we're all supposed to be chasing. Well, I say bollocks to that. Let's take a cheeky detour down memory lane instead, shall we? Imagine you're lounging in a velvet smoking jacket, sipping brandy from a crystal snifter, surrounded by dusty tomes and antique globes. Sounds rather spiffing, no? That's because old is gold, methinks. While everyone else is frantically scrolling through their social media feeds, we'll be gleefully embracing t
