The fourth-generation Toyota Vios has just made its debut in Thailand, where it is known as the Yaris Ativ. As you’d expect, a rendering of the Toyota Vios in GR kit has come about from the venerable Theophilus Chin.
Starting at the front, the grille bearing the Toyota badge has been made more slanted, complementing a new bumper design that replaces the horizontal slats with a honeycomb grille insert. The more aggressive GR-Corolla-inspired front bumper is integrated with front fog lamps.
Over to the side, the badges on the front fenders have been replaced with air vents as seen on the GR Corolla. Also taken from the GR Corolla are the extended rear wheel arches, giving the ‘GR Vios’ a more muscular appearance, aided by side skirts with a ‘GR-Four’ inscription. Completing the side profile are 18-inch BBS wheels from the GR Yaris.
The GR Corolla’s influence is also apparent in the rear section of this GR Vios render, specifically with the rear bumper. It’s incorporated with three exhaust tips, with two round ones on each side and a rectangular one in the centre.
The bumper trim on both corners of the new Vios have also been replaced with reflectors. Topping off the ‘conversion’ is a GR badge and a black boot lid spoiler.
In case you missed it, the new Toyota Vios launched in Thailand is built on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform. The platform is also the basis for models like the Perodua Ativa, Perodua Alza and Toyota Veloz. Powering the new Vios is a 3NR-VE 1.2-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine with 94 PS and 110 NM, paired with a Super CVT-i gearbox. Its fuel consumption is rated at an impressive 23.3 km/L.
Cooool design. But sedan will most probably never happen.
(Like) 2023 Toyota Vios GR. (Dislike) Proton X50 standard
This bloke T Chin is wasting space and time with his stupid day dream
This DNGA Corolla’ (Ativ Yaris Sedan)designed by Daihatsu is better than the JDM TNGA Yaris itself, larger and more spacious..
Somebody can make a comparison btw them..
Lucky it didn’t end up to looks like TNGA Yaris Sedan rendered 2019 December by Theo.
This should stop this TChin wasting readers time with his silly dream.
Ah Beng’s wet dream.
Confirmed wet laa., They will mod it with and go Sepang Circuit do track exercise.
This should stop this TChin wasting readers time with his silly dream.
Cool design but didn’t come with great engine. How come this very beautiful sporty design only equipped with 94PS engine? #facepalm
That 1.2 only for Thai market only here this vios will probably get 1.5na that will produce more than 100hp for sure
Who gonna bring 1.2NA to Malaysia? None!
Not so bad, better than
Copen GR Sport 660cc turbo. Honda S660 turbo top speed 140km/h, 0-100 12.6s. https://paultan.org/2019/10/15/toyota-unveils-production-copen-gr-sport-roadster/
This is a safer and better base to begin for affordable Sport.
Rich Ah Beng and Ali will mod it for thier fun and hobby.
Just like the Ah beng X50 pink mod.
This should stop this TChin wasting readers time with his silly dream.
Otherwise respectable Paultan is thrased by this bloke T Chin daydreams.
