Verdict
The Toyota Vios NGC102 is the newer, more complete Malaysian sedan: its 2,620 mm wheelbase is 70 mm longer, it brings a CVT and six airbags, plus pre-collision braking and steering correction. The Toyota Vios NSP151 counters with a five-speed manual, 106 hp and 140 Nm against 104 hp and 138 Nm, while its 503-litre boot is 28 litres bigger. For most buyers, the NGC102’s safety and daily-use equipment justify moving on from the outgoing car; the NSP151 makes sense when price and luggage space lead the brief.
Pick the Toyota Vios NSP151 if you want the RM16,446 saving, a five-speed manual and the larger 503-litre boot.
Pick the Toyota Vios NGC102 if you want six airbags, active safety systems, a CVT and substantially more wheelbase.
