Total Transformation All New Vios
The Toyota Vios was first introduced in Indonesia in 2003 to replace the Toyota Soluna, which had already been favored by customers in filling the sub-compact sedan or B-segment Class market.
In its journey, the first generation Toyota Vios managed to meet customer expectations, so it was continued by the second generation in 2007 and the third generation in 2013.
The entire generation of Vios sedans has succeeded in attracting the urban middle class who need a mobility solution that is prestigious, comfortable and functional at a competitive price.
The use of this new platform on the All New Vios provides an opportunity for Toyota to increase the element of comfort by changing the dimensions of the 4th generation Vios.
Now, this car is 4,410 mm long, 1,740 mm wide and 1,480 mm high, with a wheelbase of up to 2,620 mm.
With dimensions that are 10 mm wider and 20 mm lower, and a wheelbase increased by 70 mm compared to the previous generation, the All New Vios can still be agile in maneuvering.
The wider body of the All New Vios also offers better comfort because the cabin is wider.
The visuals of a sporty and powerful Toyota Keen Look modern sedan can be seen on the front of the All New Vios. The extra-large trapezoidal grille dominates its face with solid black blades and a three-dimensional style.
Above it, there is a thin transverse grille that looks harmonious with the L-shape LED headlights reinforced by sturdy and aerodynamic curves that form air dams in the corners of the front bumper.
Sturdy curves continue on the hood and are accentuated by masculine side shoulder lines.
The futuristic-style 17-inch alloy wheels seem to dominate the side of the car and its position near the end of the fender makes the All New Vios look powerful and authoritative.
The presence of a third window behind the side door (6-light window) to emphasize a more backward cabin and make the All New Vios look more elegant. In addition, the Fastback Style with the rear window sloping towards the end of the trunk gives a distinctive silhouette of a luxury sedan.
The classy feel of the sedan continues in the simple and modern stern design with a touch of L-shape LED taillights, diffuser accents, shark fin antennas, and tiny air holes at the end of the rear bumper.
All New Vios Themed Cabin Elegant and Powerful
The combination of elegant and powerful design themes continues into the cabin of the All New Vios. The dominance of black in the interior creates a classy and comfortable impression.
The new modern dashboard design uses soft touch materials that are in harmony with the door trim design. In the Vios grade G, the use of similar materials continues on the instrument panel, knee pads, and arm rests on the doors and center console.
The driver-oriented cockpit design as well as the correct driver's seat position provides adequate exit visibility and maintains the comfort of daily mobility.
The classy sedan feel is also enjoyed by rear passengers who get more spacious seating space like the Medium Sedan thanks to the extra wheelbase and Fastback Style roof. In addition, the longer wheelbase also ensures added comfort aspects while strengthening handling on the road.
The lower body also provides a better center of gravity to improve ride quality without compromising passenger comfort as there is adequate headroom.
All New Vios now adopts a new engine coded 2NR-VE 1,496 cc 4-cylinder that is tough and reliable. The efficient use of Dual VVT-i technology makes this compact engine capable of delivering power and fuel economy in various road conditions and driving styles.
For the record, the All New Vios engine provides 106 PS of power at 6,000 rpm and 138 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. Power distribution to the front wheels is channeled through the option of a 5-speed manual or CVT transmission.
“People's trends and preferences in choosing a car as a mobility partner have now changed. Toyota as a mobility company strives to meet the expectations of its customers. Together with the engineer team, we developed the All New Vios based on three pillars: Proudful, Comfortable, and Valuable, but still maintains the DNA of the Vios sedan which has high Quality, Durability, and Reliability," said Marketing Director of PT Toyota Astra Motor (TAM), Fumitaka. Kawashima.
"Therefore, even though the All New Vios is equipped with various new and more sophisticated technologies, the All New Vios still maintains its DNA to provide more value for its customers. We hope that the All New Vios can meet the mobility needs of modern society for a spacious sedan and provide more comfort and safety for all its users," he continued.
