There is no confirmation yet on what will go into the Malaysia-spec Yaris but it could be very similar to the Vios, for better economies of scale. Of course, that will depend on the brand’s marketing and pricing strategies.
Our Vios comes with the maximum 5-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating, seven SRS airbags, Vehicle Stability Control, Traction Control and Hill-start Assist Control. Other standard features include headlamps with Follow Me Home, LED daytime running lights, automatic air-conditioning, Smart Entry & push button start, rear USB ports. The Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert functions are available in the higher Vios 1.5E and 1.5G variants.
In the meantime, here are some official images of the Yaris hatchback from Toyota Thailand and Indonesia (mainly of the range-topping variant with accessories).
