    On the huge success of the Vios Challenge series, UMW Toyota Motor President Ravindran K said, “We’ve come a long way in five seasons of the Toyota GAZOO Racing Festival and the Vios Challenge race series since it was started in 2017. At the time of inception we wanted to change the thinking that Toyota cars are meant for the matured crowd. We wanted to build an ever better car that also makes it attractive for the younger buyers and today there has been a total shift. Of course, we also wanted to make a significant contribution to Malaysian motorsports.”

We also want our young engineers to be able to contribute to the research and development of future models. We want our customers to enjoy a very safe, fun and powerful car to drive, in this case the Vios. The Vios Challenge is the right platform for people to see this and for a lot of young engineers to join us to build better cars for the future.”
