UMW Toyota Motor has introduced a new Vios variant called the TRD Sportivo into the market. The vehicle replaces the current 1.5S model in the lineup, with the other existing versions, the 1.5G, 1.5E, 1.5J automatic and 1.5J manual, continuing unchanged.
The variant, a joint development between UMW Toyota Motor and TRD Asia, features a TRD package made up of a host of accessories; there are no changes to the mechanicals of the auto-transmission-only model.
Externally, there's a TRD Sportivo five-piece aerokit (polyurethane front and rear bumpers as well as sideskirts and a rear spoiler made of ABS), exclusive 15-inch 10-spoke Enkei alloy wheels that are 10% lighter than the standard 15-inch alloys, tinted door visors and a TRD Sportivo emblem.
Inside, it's all down to trim, in this case, carbon-fibre patterned inserts for the centre console and armrest panels, a new texture black/red fabric trim for the seats and door panels (replete with TRD Sportivo logo on the front seats), a sports gear knob, as well as carpet mats and stainless steel door scuff plates, all wearing the TRD Sportivo emblem.
There's also a TRD suspension kit available as an optional accessory; the RM3,150 add-on - consisting of coil springs and gas-filled shocks with revised damper rates and a reduced ride height of 10mm - was seen on the TRD evaluation mule that was around earlier in the year, but UMW Toyota has decided not to make it standard issue in the final package, primarily to keep the cost down.
Six colour choices are available, these being Silver Metallic, Coal Black, White, Grey Mica, Bronze Metallic and a new signature shade for this variant called Medium Silver Metallic.
The Vios TRD Sportivo package comes with a 3-year/100,000km warranty (whichever occurs first, after original registration), and installation will be carried out by UMW Toyota at its own facility.
The estimated on-the-road price (with insurance, in Peninsular Malaysia) of the Vios TRD Sportivo is RM90,900. While bookings for the model have opened, display vehicles will only be available in the showroom from July 17, though it will be available for viewing at the special TRD booth in Sepang this weekend (July 20-21), when the Super GT race hits town.
