We reached the hall at 5.30pm, unfortunately without my camera. Had to make do with Then’s PDA.
From our amateur view, the car looks shorter in the front. After comparing the old car’s brochure and the new one, I found that the new car is actually 15mm longer, 5mm wider, and 65mm taller than the older Vios. Its touted as a compact car by Toyota, and according to them the new car focuses on three aspects: comfort, style, and safety. The engine is still the same, but the car is developed on a newer platform and GOA. The exterior and interior design were overhauled.
Among the major highlights are electronic power steering, extra 17cm luggage area, 60/40 split foldable back seats, leather steering, and compartments to hold drinks.
The front design looks like Myvi, with the front lights bulging out a bit. The back looks a bit flat, and the lights curving around the back.
The passenger area has more leg room due to shorter seats. The G and E have beige colored interior, which is likely to get stained easily.
