The current Toyota Vios may be due a facelift, but UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has seen fit to apply running updates to the current car. That’s a good thing if you’re not into the Vios’ big mouthed facelift, which is a love or hate affair. Here’s a live gallery of the updated 2017 Toyota Vios that was announced last month.
The updated Vios sports a digital video recorder a.k.a. dashcam that has been redesigned to both look and work better. This is standard across the board, as are USB charging ports ahead of the gearlever and front cupholders.
Variants from the E onwards get a new 360-degree parking camera system with lenses on the front, rear and wing mirrors. Previously found on luxury cars, this feature assists parking by stitching together a bird’s eye view of the car with guide lines on the touchscreen of the head unit, which has been updated.
The G, GX and TRD Sportivo variants add on auto-folding door mirrors. It’s possible to have a base J spec with the panoramic view monitor, just upgrade to the DVD-AVX infotainment package for RM4,441.40. Similarly, E spec buyers can add on auto-folding door mirrors for RM318.
No change in base prices – the entry 1.5J manual is priced at RM76,500, the 1.5J auto RM79,800, the 1.5E auto RM83,900, the 1.5G RM89,800 (as pictured here), the 1.5GX RM92,800 and the range topping TRD Sportivo is yours for RM96,400. UMWT is currently running a promo offering up to RM3,000 cash rebate, plus RM500 duit raya and free accessories worth up to RM4,000.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express mixed reactions to the 2017 Toyota Vios enhancements, particularly the added 360-degree camera and dashcam, seen as good value by some, especially for larger vehicles. Critics feel Toyota's pricing is high for "useless" accessories and question the necessity of features like the 360 camera on a small car. There is praise for UMW’s improvements and value but also frustration over frequent upgrades, high spare parts costs, and comparisons to competitors like Honda City, Proton, and Kia.
