Recently Toyota Malaysia announce for the latest grade for their Toyota Vios that is Vios J Grade. It is more affordable and quite a good offer for Malaysian.

Specifications are lower than the current Vios in E, G and S grades but the vios J still gets the fuel efficient 1.5-litre VVT-i (Variable Valve Timing with intelligence) engine, anti-lock braking system with electronic brake-force distribution and brake assist.

The second generation Toyota Vios Malaysia is currently available in three grades: two grades initially available on the previous Malaysian Vios (E and G), and a new grade (S). Now the latest grade is the Toyota Vios J.

What is the different between Vios E, G, S and Vios J?

The E grade is the entry-level model, branded as a cost-effective version of the Toyota Vios, and is the cheapest and most stripped-down Toyota Vios among the three (E,G,S) grades, priced at around an estimated RM 78,900. The car includes several cut-backs compared to the G and S grades, including:

- Rear drum brakes instead of an all-disc set-up for the G and E grades.
- 14-inch alloy rims as oppose to 15 for the G and S.
- driver’s side only airbag as opposed to dual-front airbags for the G and S.
- driver’s side only pretensioned, forced limited seatbelts as opposed such seatbelts on all occupants’ sides for the G and S.
- a single-DIN CD receiver and four-speaker system, instead of steering mounted audio controls and six-speaker, dashboard integrated CD receiver with MP3 and WMA-playback capability for the G and S.

The G grade is considered to be a mid-priced model between the E and S grades, retailing at an estimated RM 85,300.

The new Toyota Vios line saw the inclusion of a new S grade Vios. The S grade includes cosmetic enhancements rather than a performance-based ones, sporting a set of “aero parts”, a minor body kit encompassing a front bumper spoiler, side skirts and a bootlid spoiler.

The Toyota Vios S variant is estimated to be the most expensive Vios among the three, at around RM 88,600. The interior of the Toyota Vios S grade receives a dark grey/black trim treatment, and includes an “Optitron” meter with a multi-information display, as opposed to the E and G grades’ conventional backlit display.

About The New Toyota Vios J Grade Malaysia 2008

Recently, Toyota Malaysia added a fourth grade for the Toyota Vios called the Vios J grade, which is the cheapest and most bare bone grade of the Toyota Vios in Malaysia. Unlike the other grades which are only available with an automatic transmission, the Toyota Vios J grade has the option for a manual transmission gear. The manual J grade Vios is priced at just under RM70,000 (RM69,825.00 or RM73,525.00 for manual and automatic respectively). The J grade Vios does not come with any airbags.

All model grades were reported to include ABS, EBD and brake assist, as are passive safety features such as whiplash injury lessening seats, a collapsible steering wheel column and an impact sensing fuel cut-off.

This Toyota Vios J might have a better fuel consumption compare to other grades because of the use of manual gear transmission.
