All-new 2023 Toyota Vios [Genting Hill Climb] - Improved Power to Weight Ratio | YS Khong Driving

[@DeeGullible]

It's really about the driver, and a car as capacity/ instrument. I came here as soon as I've watched a car reviewer bringing the new vios up Genting. Though he was just reviewing the car on overall but it looked as if the car was struggling to go up the mountain. The weight shifting along the drives, cornering, car power shifts, acceleration timing and all, uncle YS made it all seem easy. Uncle YS can make lucky draw for fans to experience real driving skills!

[@YSKhongDriving]

Good idea.

[@aaronvargas5678]

First time seeing your vlog sir, and I must say you are AMAZING! The thrill felt by your guest, I felt it too! 😄 That car is a Vios, but sir, you made it look like a sports car! 😎

[@YSKhongDriving]

Thank you for your support.

[@DaoHong-c6f]

Like YS said it must have both things , the instrument and the driver to achieve the max a car can perform ! Here you can see the new Vios has a good chassis and handling . You can see YS is attempting those so called straight line through the turns , up and down hill with this car ! Chassis, suspension setup , kerb weight, tyres and brakes + of course a good driver 😅 are very important , don't you agree YS ? But usually novice drivers will only brag about top speed and HP without really know the real driving 😂

[@1chai]

This episode has the most dramas. Firstly, there was a fast-lane hogger Ford Ranger. At the second part, there was a TNGA Toyota Altis trying to chase YS after being overtaken. However, this Altis was not a bad guy and just being curious to attempt chasing. I can see YS is not happy that the TC cannot be turned off permanently.

[@chaiminhua7727]

I have a suggestion that uncle YS can add a question like "will i buy one?" at the end of each video. That should give all the potential viewers a definite answers. However i think by doing so inevitably will cause conflict with some manufacturer eh?

[@YSKhongDriving]

I would buy one. I would buy many cars that I have tested. The key is always 'do I need one, or can I afford it, and will my wife let me.'

[@dsleong8328]

Overall pretty good for this new gen vios,the only thing that's not doing well is the backseat and support position,for taller guy sitting for long journey will feel uneasy

[@esk4105]

But at least more comfortable than previous generation Vios. This new Vios also have many features and better safety features than previous gen Vios

[@duanglah]

for me, personally more enjoy watching uncle drive manual cars. love to see uncle's foot handling 3 pedals. this car looks regit on the road nice and I can see the uncle's face smiling when he enjoys taking corners.. but the passenger looks frightened when the uncle put more acceleration while cornering.

[@YSKhongDriving]

The passenger was okay, I think, hahaha. I am a bad passenger myself.

[@jackyau7276]

Hi Uncle YS, great video and smooth driving. but seems the car is below average on the power, accelerating seems quite struggle. how is it compare to current City/Almera with 100KG more weight? BTW, the mountain in Langkawi is Gunung Raya (not Bunga Raya by mistake), I'm from Langkawi and its so grateful so see you stress test this car here.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes, sorry if I called it wrong. I know it is Gunung Raya.

[@blackshot19]

Nice ride but this was limiting the weight ratio with passengers I believe? Not sure. Would like to see the E spec variant up the hill too given the weight lighter and smaller wheel and of course this time with TC turn-off before take-off.

[@YSKhongDriving]

Mechanically the two are the same, and the OD of the two tyre sizes also should be similar, with the 17 inch wheels getting better overall grip and handling. The end result will be very similar plus or minus a couple of seconds. Weight will always be a factor in any vehicle of similar capacity, i.e. B segment

Dumb people are paying a toyota price- too much- for a daihatsu car. Perodua vios. Buy a honda, u get honda. This one just toyota tricking.

[@esk4105]

Jack honestly comparing between this and City, Vios is better than City in terms of quality, features, safety, handling, acceleration and technology. Besides, Vios also come with BSM, RCTA and 360 camera where City don’t have. Even City quality also not as good as Vios but at least better than Proton

Need your thoughts on no spare tire - 1) tires can't be be used after using sealant provided ie need to get new tire later

[@YSKhongDriving]

Depends. If the tyre is not damaged, the sealant can be cleaned off and the tyre can be reused. Usually if a tyre has gone flat and has run while flat, it is not recommended to reuse.

Hello uncle, been watching ur videos for some time. I am currently in a dilemma of getting an X50 or Vios, have test driven both, am really impressed and favour the power of X50, but in terms of reliability, guess only toyota can defeat themselves. Actually I have booked vios but the waiting list is 5 months 😵and the power is far less impressed than the X50, and the x50 feels more premium than vios. Only reason of booking the vios was to have a peace of mind. Which would you pick, X50 premium or vios? Appreciate your input!

[@YSKhongDriving]

The X50 definitely has bigger power, and the interior space is a bit more. So it depends on your choice really. Of course the Vios would have better consumption and thus lower running costs. And reliability is a given. All depends on what you want and need. If you can afford the X50, go for it. From your words, I can see you favour the X50.
