Verdict

At RM74,623 versus RM90,600, the outgoing Toyota Vios NSP151 Facelift 2 is RM15,977 cheaper and still matches the basics: 1.5-litre petrol, CVT, front-wheel drive, five seats and a 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating. The newer Toyota Vios NGC102 counters with auto emergency braking, a longer 2,620 mm wheelbase and lower 5.2 L/100 km fuel use. But it has a smaller 475-litre boot and six airbags against the older car’s 506 litres and seven airbags, so this is not a simple upgrade across the board.

NSP151 Facelift 2

Pick the Toyota Vios NSP151 Facelift 2 if you want the lower price, bigger 506-litre boot and seven airbags, and can live without auto emergency braking.

NGC102

Pick the Toyota Vios NGC102 if you want the newer-generation car with auto emergency braking, 5.2 L/100 km fuel economy and a longer 2,620 mm wheelbase.
