There are currently two new models of Toyota Vios for sale in the domestic market, priced at RM 89,600 and RM 95,500, respectively. Because the front face of Toyota Vios is similar to Toyota Camry, it is also known as the "Baby Camry". The new Toyota Vios features a streamlined body design and LED headlights. The size of the vehicle has also been adjusted, and the length, width, and height have slightly increased. The wheelbase has also been extended by 70mm, making the interior space more spacious.
