Borneo Motors launches the new Toyota Vios

Borneo Motors (Singapore) has launched the new Toyota Vios, equipped with state-of-the-art features and best-in-class safety and technology. 

Cutting-edge design defines the exterior of the new Vios, with its dynamic angles and sharp headlamps with integrated clearance lamps. The front of the new Vios has been updated with a horizontal grille for a wider yet more aerodynamic appearance. LED daytime running lamps have also been integrated into the shape of the grille for a sleek appearance.

On the inside, the central console of the new Vios has been redesigned to create a greater sense of integration. By removing the intervening gap and enlarging the center cluster, the centre ornaments now extend seamlessly to integrate the upper portion of the instrument panel to the front console.

At 1,730mm, the new Vios is the widest in class, featuring a spacious and comfortable cabin, where all occupants can sit in complete comfort thanks to newly designed rear seats and increased shoulder space.

An improved rear seat shape with enhanced coil springs and shock absorbers mean a smooth ride, while the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) provides smooth acceleration, resulting in less fatigue and greater comfort for occupants. The Vios also provides excellent cabin quietness, due to the silencers and seals fitted throughout the car that enhance the sound absorption and sound insulation performance.

The new Vios comes equipped with seven SRS airbags. It also features a range of brake control systems to help prevent emergencies before they occur, such as the Anti-lock Brake System with Electronic Brake-force Distribution, Brake Assist, Traction Control, Vehicle Stability Control and Hill-start Assist Control.

The Vios also features an all new smart entry and start system for added convenience, where drivers can start the car or unlock the vehicle doors by simply having the key in their possession. In addition to the smart entry and start system functions, the electric key is equipped with a wireless control function that can be used in the same way as the wireless transmitter of the current model.

Driving performance of the new Vios has been optimised to suit the conditions of Singapore roads and fuel efficiency has been maximised with a proven 1.5-litre Dual VVT-I engine, CVT and Low Rolling-resistance Coefficient (RRC) tires. Both the E-grade and G-grade Vios are also Euro 6 compliant.

"Customers today are increasingly savvy and no longer expect their car to meet just their practical needs. They want a car that can grow with them and keep up with their lifestyle needs," said Samuel Yong, Marketing Director, Borneo Motors (Singapore). "With the Vios, we are targeting discerning consumers in the subcompact category by bringing them a vehicle which is best in class. With its enhanced design, comfort, and class-leading safety, we are confident that the new Vios will exceed expectations and be the perfect companion for their evolving lifestyle."

The new Vios is available in two variants, the Toyota Vios E grade and G grade.
