Here S What S Latest Technology On New 2019 Toyota Vios

---

The looks are completely new. The new Vios in our market is actually the Toyota Yaris Ativ (sedan) in Thailand. The front end is bolder with sharper headlights, fang styled bumper and fog lamp housings, and has integrated DRLs in the bumper, located separately and below the headlamps. The new look is certainly more sculpted than before. The sides now have a shoulder line that moves upwards towards the rear door. At the back, the tail lights appear broader thanks to its extension towards the sides.
On a side note, the new Vios will actually be made in UMW Toyota’s new manufacturing plant in Bukit Raja, Klang, Selangor.
