Some subtle visual redesigns paled in comparison to a new engine and transmission combo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This made the NCP 150 Vios a truly unique model in that it was sold with two different powertrains across its lifespan. Both had their pros and cons and fortunately, you can still get the pre-facelift if that suits your needs more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-26988 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/2017-Vios-1.5-G-RM64400-e1672389963569-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"2017 Toyota Vios G\" width=\"3200\" height=\"1904\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>A 2017 Toyota Vios 1.5 G sold for RM64,400 on CARSOME<\/em><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take a look at the differences between the <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/toyota\/vios?year=2013,2015\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pre-facelift<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/toyota\/vios?year=2016,2022\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">facelifted<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> variants as well as the common problems and maintenance costs to expect with ownership.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toyota Vios Range in Malaysia<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The primary difference between the two versions lies with the engine and transmission, which is where the focus will be. To the layman, they were both 1.5-liter inline-four engines with an automatic. Nonetheless, key characteristic differences saw the earlier 1NZ-FE a little punchier with more low-down torque whereas the newer 2NR-FE was more economical in terms of fuel but at the expense of some power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/the-history-of-toyota\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">History of Toyota: The Largest Carmaker in the World<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1NZ-FE engine<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Owners of the first-generation Vios (NCP 42) will be familiar with this mill. It\u2019s been soldiering on in the Vios largely unchanged save for the usual tweaks with every facelift exercise or model change to improve fuel consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The 1NZ-FE was a 1.5-liter, four-cylinder with VVT-i (intake side). In its final form under the hood of the pre-facelift NCP 150, it made 109 PS and 141 Nm of torque. A traditional torque-converter 4-speed auto did its best to overwhelm the front wheels with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tweaks from the previous generation (NCP 93) in the form of lighter components and a redesigned air-filter housing reportedly returned a five percent improvement in fuel consumption.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2NR-FE engine<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the facelift, the NCP 150 Vios became the second <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/toyota\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toyota<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in the country to adopt the 2NR-FE, following in the footsteps of the Toyota Avanza in the preceding year. The Vios hatchback sibling, the <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/toyota\/yaris\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toyota Yaris<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, would also be propelled by the same engine.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The primary improvement with the 1.5-liter, four-cylinder 2NR-FE was the availability of dual VVT-i. This meant variable valve timing on both the intake and exhaust sides. Coupled with Iridium spark plugs, it had marked gains in fuel efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Power, though, took a small hit, dropping negligibly to 107 PS and 140 Nm of torque in return for efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mated to the new engine was a new transmission as well, a CVT automatic with a sequential manual mode to cycle through the 7 virtual ratios. Toyota claimed fuel efficiency went up by 18 percent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Read More: <\/b><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/the-toyota-corolla-11-generations-through-images\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Toyota Corolla \u2013 11 Generations Through Images<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30270\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2017-Toyota-Vios-Rear.png\" alt=\"2017 Toyota Vios Rear\" width=\"1131\" height=\"661\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2017-Toyota-Vios-Rear.png 1131w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2017-Toyota-Vios-Rear-300x175.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2017-Toyota-Vios-Rear-1024x598.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2017-Toyota-Vios-Rear-768x449.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2017-Toyota-Vios-Rear-150x88.png 150w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2017-Toyota-Vios-Rear-696x407.png 696w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/2017-Toyota-Vios-Rear-1068x624.png 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1131px) 100vw, 1131px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1NZ-FE Vs 2NR-FE Bore and Stroke<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although both engines had a capacity of 1.5-liters, the 2NR-FE was more of a long-stroke engine (72 mm bore x 91.8 mm stroke) against the older 1NZ-FE (75 mm bore x 84.7 mm stroke). To recap, the bore is the diameter of each cylinder while the stroke is the distance within the cylinder the piston travels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This very much remained true to the basic engine principles regarding the correlation between bore and stroke versus power and efficiency.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To summarize, the pistons in an engine with a shorter stroke will travel less in each combustion cycle, meaning the pistons move a greater distance in the same amount of time against a long-stroke engine. That makes more RPM, meaning more power. Furthermore, the bigger bore with short-stroke engines allows larger valves for more air movement. All this equals more power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the opposite end, a long-stroke engine will be more efficient. However, it isn\u2019t directly related to the power equation but involves surface area. Simply put, a long-stroke engine has less surface area in a cylinder during combustion, leading to less energy lost in the form of heat. This equates to a more efficient cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Variant To Buy And Current Market Prices<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An easy way to identify the facelifted NCP 150 with the new engine is by the DRLs on the front bumper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The pre-facelift models ran from 2014 to 2016 with pricing for these ranging between RM48,000 to RM60,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the new engine and transmission find favor with you, expect to fork out a heftier sum between RM55,000 and RM65,000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the best variant, in this case, it\u2019s going to be the flagship Vios G. Equipment wise, things don\u2019t change much during the facelift exercise so if the budget permits, put your money on the highest spec that carries kit such as projector headlights, an acoustic windscreen, a multi-info display, Toyota Premium Security and Solar <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/item\/here-are-things-you-need-to-know-before-choosing-an-autofilm-for-your-car\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Film tint<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, if your budget doesn\u2019t allow for the flagship variant, it\u2019s still comforting to note that the facelift exercise in 2016 saw stability control become standard safety across the range although the airbag count remained a dismal two at the front.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bear in mind when making your decision that the pre-facelift variants didn\u2019t possess stability control, not even in the flagship trims.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-30272\" src=\"https:\/\/carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Toyota-Vios-Interior.png\" alt=\"Toyota Vios Interior\" width=\"1191\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Toyota-Vios-Interior.png 1191w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Toyota-Vios-Interior-300x181.png 300w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Toyota-Vios-Interior-1024x619.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Toyota-Vios-Interior-768x464.png 768w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Toyota-Vios-Interior-150x91.png 150w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Toyota-Vios-Interior-696x421.png 696w, https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Toyota-Vios-Interior-1068x646.png 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1191px) 100vw, 1191px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintenance &amp; Common Problems<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Vios is still a Toyota sedan.

That said, the Vios does have some common issues that potential buyers should be aware of when looking at a particular unit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both engines are mechanically bombproof and furthermore, can lay claim to having endured the grueling and demanding motorsports life under the Toyota Gazoo Racing Vios Challenge series.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In terms of basic maintenance, the following table should serve as an indicative point for pricing:<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Maintenance \/ Interval<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>1NZ-FE<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>2NR-FE<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Oil change \/ 10,000km<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM175 (semi-synthetic)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM295 (fully-synthetic)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Air filter \/ 20,000km<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM95<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM95<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Cabin filter \/ 30,000km<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM25<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM25<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Brake service \/ 40,000km<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM60<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM60<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Transmission service<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM150 (40,000km)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM300 (80,000km)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Coolant 160,000km, (subsequent 80,000km)<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM120<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM120<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Spark plugs<\/b><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM80 (40,000km)<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RM350 (100,000km)<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might notice the huge gap in pricing for the spark plugs between the two engines and as mentioned earlier, that\u2019s largely due to the shift towards pricier iridium plugs in the 2NR-FE.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As far as common issues go, the 1NZ-FE is guilty of sprouting minor leaks at the crankshaft oil seal and timing belt cover.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, with high mileage comes a noticeably lower idle. The usual suspects here could be a dirty throttle body, a faulty Idle Control Valve (ICV), or a failing Mass Air Flow sensor (MAF).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As for the newer 2NR-FE, there have been cases of it developing an irregular clattering noise (usually after the 100k km mark) from the timing belt area. In most cases, it\u2019s a worn belt tensioner that can be solved with a replacement.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019re most likely buying a <\/span><span style=\"color: #ff9900;\"><a style=\"color: #ff9900;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.carsome.my\/buy-car\/toyota\/vios\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Vios<\/span><\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for its fuel efficiency and refinement, which the latter 2NR-FE and CVT pairing in the 2016 facelift was designed to deliver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the other hand, those looking for something a little zippier with some zest in its drive will appreciate the pre-facelift 1NZ-FE and its stouter lower-end torque. Although it does lose out in terms of fuel consumption, it\u2019s still a Vios, so you won\u2019t exactly be burning a hole in your wallet with trips to the petrol station.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At the end of the day, you can\u2019t go wrong with either version of the Vios. It all boils down to your budget and what exactly you\u2019re looking for in your Toyota sedan.
