2023 Toyota Vios coming to Malaysia; here's what to expect

2023 Toyota Vios coming to Malaysia; here's what to expect

Yes, that’s right. Next year, Toyota Malaysia is scheduled to launch the all-new Vios sedan. And when it does arrive, the car is expected to become the number one non-national B-segment sedan segment.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • Name the key compititor of all-new Toyota Vios?

    Once launched, the B-segment sedan will rival the ongoing Honda City.
  • How much does the 2023 City costs?

    In Thailand, the 2023 Vios is offered in four variant options with prices ranging from 539k baht to 689k baht (Approx. RM67k to RM 85k).
  • So, if you are in plan to purchase a car in the segment then we’d suggest you wait a little longer. As the upcoming Vios will surely be a tough competition to the ongoing Honda City; it would be a great rivalry to witness, right?

    It was only recently that Toyota introduced the new Vios in the Thailand market, where it is known as the Yaris Ativ. And we expect to get a similar spec model in Malaysia, maybe with some market-related alterations which we’ll only get to know after the car’s launch.

    So, before that happens, let’s get to know the upcoming 2023 Toyota Vios in detail.
