1. Younger, stronger appearance

Compared to its predecessor, which has been on the market for 3 years, Toyota Vios 2023 has a new youthful and stronger appearance thanks to tweaking some details. As a life-saving upgrade, it is understandable that Vios has not been completely renovated.

The biggest change in the upgrade of Vios 2023 focuses on the front of the car. Specifically, the Vios 2023 has a more angular design thanks to the enlarged steering wheel. The fog lamp sockets are reshaped in the form of fish gills very much like the Toyota Corolla Altis 2023. The most notable change is the new 2-tone color wheels for a sportier look.

5. Added 2 new safety features

In terms of safety, all versions of Toyota Vios 2023 cars are added with 2 new features including:

• VSC body stabilization: helps minimize wheel slip by braking each wheel independently when combined with ABS anti-lock braking system.
• Support for steep departures: for new drivers or women, the situations of stopping and starting uphill will no longer be too stressful.

Therefore, as soon as the driver releases the brake pedal, this system will automatically intervene the braking force at the wheels in 2-3 seconds. Thereby helping the car not to slip and giving customers more time to move the car forward.

Conclusion

The new generation Toyota Vios 2023 with a revolutionary change deserves to be the most prominent B-class sedan in the current segment. This model will pose a big challenge to rivals such as Honda City, Nissan Almera, and Hyundai Accent.
