Visually both the Vios and Yaris share the similar front design but with eyes around the side and rear is where the differences start. Inside, the cabin is the same on both \u2013 the dashboard design, trim and colours.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>Standard safety<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13949 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1277.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1277.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1277-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1277-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, the Yaris\u2019 features with the Vios are almost identical all round. This includes the three variant types, interior features and the active and passive safety list on all variants \u2013 ABS with EBD and Brake Assist, VSC with Traction Control and Hill-start Assist Control, 7 SRS Airbags, and Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert (on the G spec only). Prices are RM 70,888, RM 76,888 and RM 83,888 for the Yaris J, E and G specs respectively.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>The Drive<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13945 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0111.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0111.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0111-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0111-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13951 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1523.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1523.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1523-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1523-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13948 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0821.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0821.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0821-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0821-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Mechanically it\u2019s the identical 1.5-litre Dual VVT-I engine on the Vios that outputs 106 hp and 140 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm and paired to a CVT with 7-speed Sport Sequential Shiftmatic. As for the 1.5G variant we sampled on the day, there\u2019s quite enough of equipment to be satisfied with. The only thing we felt that lacked is the absence of a telescopic steering wheel that allows a better seated position based on our height.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13952 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1578.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1578.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1578-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1578-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>But everything else goes up from there. Toyota has positioned the Yaris as a sporty and young hatchback. Yet the comfort level is relatively decent \u2013 acoustic windshield and insulation has been increased; all to reduce the outside noise.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13950 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1514.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1514.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1514-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris1514-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13938 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0069.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0069.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0069-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0069-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In terms of driving dynamics, the Yaris does shine better compared to the Vios. While both vehicles are essentially similar in weight and mechanics, Toyota has stiffened this one; making the Yaris more confident with less roll around fast corners. Taking the B-roads on Jalan Gombak towards Janda Baik proved to be an enjoyable one. With the drive mode put on Sport and transmission to manual, the CVT pulls power long enough to get things right.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5><strong>What we think<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13944 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0099.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0099.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0099-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0099-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13939 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0072.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0072.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0072-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0072-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13955 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris2030.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris2030.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris2030-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris2030-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-13931 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0013.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0013.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0013-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/wp\/20190423_Yaris0013-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>We are thrilled that there\u2019s a new hatchback in this category and at this price. We\u2019ve been too used with the common offerings locally that we think Toyota has done the market better by offering the Yaris. What we think is the best variant between the three is the mid E variant. It has all the features the G has, except for the exclusion of rear disc brakes, Optitron and Multi-information display, leather on the steering wheel and shift knob, as well as 2 less speakers.
