Does the Toyota Vios really just a sedan Myvi or is there more to it?
Toyota Vios is just the name of the Toyota rival of the Perodua Myvi, the compact car of choice in Malaysia. There are some who say that the Vios is basically a sedan version of the Myvi, and thus provides little more in terms of features, performance or value. All of these comparisons beg the question as to where the Vios sits in its market, and whether the higher price commanded over equally affordable options like the Myvi is warranted. It also deals with the larger question if compact sedans have a real edge over hatchbacks when it comes to everyday driving in cities. To give you an idea of the Vios merits, we'll be considering things like its interior space, how it drives, how fuel efficient it is and, of course, how good the overall value for money is... And is it really a step up from cars like the Myvi, or are we simply paying extra for the badge?
It is definitely more than just a "sedan Myvi." Inside it feels more premium, there's better sound insulation, and it's got a more refined ride. Yes, it’s a little pricier, but you do get what you pay for in terms of comfort and build quality.
I owned both and honestly, the Vios isn’t that big of an upgrade. It’s a bit more comfortable, but for the price difference you’re not getting that much more. It seriously is good value for money.
The Vios is not a “sedan Myvi,” as it’s being oversimplified. It’s a proper B segment sedan with better safety features, more powerful engine and Toyota’s legendary reliability. It's a whole different class.
Being driven extensively myself, I feel the Vios is more substantial on the road. That extra weight gives it better stability when trying to go faster. For practicality and value, it’s hard to beat the Myvi, but not for highway driving.
Is the Vios more, but is it worth the price difference? Probably not for most people. For 90% of what the Vios does, the Myvi does it for a lot less money. If you don’t really need a sedan, the Myvi is the smarter choice.
