A brand with a long history, Toyota from Japan has been committed to bringing better cars to the people since its inception and has gained the support of consumers through its unique technology and excellent quality. With the advent of globalisation, Toyota has become one of the best known car brands at home and abroad with its products and appropriate international strategies.
In the beginning, Toyota started out as a military vehicle manufacturer. It was not until the 1950s and 1960s that Toyota began to develop cars for the home. The Vios series was perhaps one of the most popular of the many family cars developed by Toyota. For countless people in Asian and Latin American countries, the Toyota Vios was probably the first and most familiar car in their family. If you are interested in the history of the Vios series, or if you are considering buying the latest Vios GRS Malaysia, the following article will provide you with some information.
What is Toyota Vios series?
The Toyota Vios is a series of four-door compact cars launched by Toyota, the first generation of which was officially launched in 2002. Vios” is derived from the Latin word for “to move forward”. When the first generation of Vios was launched, it was primarily intended as an alternative to the Toyota Tercel and to expand the market for small four-door saloons.
Different generations of Toyota Vios
The first generation of the Toyota Vios had a wedge-shaped body with a length, width and height of 4285*1690*1435 and a wheelbase of 2500mm and was available with a 4 cylinder petrol engine of 1.3 or 1.5 litres. The strength of the first generation Toyota Vios lies in the driving experience it offers to the driver. To ensure that the driver has a wider field of vision, the first generation Vios had an innovative instrument cluster placed at the top edge of the centre console, allowing the driver to read the required driving information out of the corner of the eye, and preventing the instrument cluster from blocking the view ahead.
The second generation Vios has a more rounded appearance than the first generation Vios and has increased its dimensions, making it more spacious and comfortable to drive inside, with three different types of 4-cylinder petrol engines: 1.3, 1.5 and 1.6. Otherwise, the second generation of Vios was largely unchanged.
The third generation of the Vios is a major innovation over the previous two generations, with a more spacious body than the previous two. In addition, the dashboard has been moved back to the front of the driver. In terms of storage space, there are up to 10 stowage spaces and the rear compartment capacity has been increased to 476 litres. In terms of power, the Vios III is equipped with the latest technology, increasing the maximum horsepower from 106 to 109, and features such safety features as dual front airbags, ABS anti-lock braking system, EBD electronic brake force distribution and BAS braking assistance.
Until now, Toyota Vios has launched its fourth generation of models, including the Toyota Vios GRS Malaysia. If you are interested to it, you may contact them for more information.
