In Malaysia
The second generation Vios was first unveiled in Malaysia on October 5, 2007 in Kuala Lumpur, two weeks ahead of its official launch on October 19, 2007.
The car, like its predecessors, is powered by a 1NZ-FE 1.5 litre four-pot engine with VVT-i but includes redesigns on the air intake and exhaust system to improve low to mid-range torque. While the gear ratios of Vios is unchanged, its transmission is a now Super ECT four-speed automatic and improved programming for the transmission control unit. Electric power steering was also included on the new Vios.
Grades
The second generation Vios is currently available in three grades: two grades initially available on the previous Malaysian Vios (E and G), and a new grade (S).
The E grade is the entry-level model, branded as a cost-effective version of the Vios, and is the cheapest and most stripped-down Vios among the three grades, priced at around an estimated RM 79,200. The car includes several cut-backs compared to the G and S grades, including:
- Rear drum brakes instead of an all-disc set-up for the G and E grades;
- 14-inch alloy rims as oppose to 15 for the G and S;
- driver's side only airbag as opposed to dual-front airbags for the G and S;
- driver's side only pretensioned, forced limited seatbelts as opposed such seatbelts on all occupants' sides for the G and S; and
- a 2-DIN CD receiver with MP3, WMA-playback capability and four-speaker system, instead of steering mounted audio controls and six-speaker, dashboard integrated CD receiver with MP3 and WMA-playback capability for the G and S.
The new Vios line saw the inclusion of a new S grade Vios. The S grade features cosmetic enhancements rather than a performance-based ones, sporting a set of "aero parts", a minor body kit encompassing a front bumper spoiler, side skirts and a bootlid spoiler. The interior receives a dark grey/black trim treatment, and includes an "Optitron" meter with a multi-information display, as opposed to the E and G grades' conventional backlit display. The S variant is estimated to be the most expensive Vios among the three, at around RM88,100.
The G grade is considered to be a mid-priced model between the E and S grades, retailing at an estimated RM 84,800.
All model grades were reported to include ABS, EBD and brake assist, as are passive safety features such as whiplash injury lessening seats, a collapsible steering wheel column and an impact sensing fuel cut-off.
