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

Many thanks to UnitedStar Corporation, our friendly Toyota dealer from Aman Suria who kindly let us have their demo car to check out on our favorite hill climb.
We already did a run up Gunung Raya in Langkawi, but as usual many of our viewers expressed a wish to see how the all-new Vios would perform up Genting.
This it panned out that we collected a brand-spanking new Vios G spec from UnitedStar Corporation amd we had Little Min as our guest in the car. He shares some of his views too on the car.
Please watch the video in full - the first part tells a little a about the car and we also did a bit of slow driving to check out the noise level.
All things said and done, the all-new Vios is a big improvement over its predecessor .

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.

[@GamingPerks]

Beautiful driving! and thank you for the insight on this new vios. drove one of the previous ones and was disappointed with the handling. Glad to hear they made the handling better!

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes they actually did.

[@MunwaiCheaw]

You know things get serious when LittleMin reaches for the grab handle 🤭

[@YSKhongDriving]

Hahaha, I saw that too.

[@elbowstancenow1519]

A fine gentleman's top tier driving.

Love the look of the next gen Vios 😍. Can't wait for it to be available here in the Philippines

[@wongcw1107]

its all about driver controlling the car ... awesome

[@truemoves09]

smooth n comfort handling by vios, premium style

[@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.

[@TheYoukhang]

there's a vios in between ford and altis btw

[@1chai]

@@TheYoukhang , I didn't mention the Red Vios because I think it is a friendly car. 0:45

I would do the same too just to see how my Vios performs with the new one 😂

Summary: It's not about the car, is the driver!

[@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.

[@user-kx7pl5ls8m]

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 😂

[@leef12]

this is the 1st test drive review for 2023 vios, Uncle was fast.

[@harvard_lee]

Wow, as predicted if the car is able to handle Langkawi I am sure it'll be able to tackle Genting. This is superb! Good summary on the car.🎉

I love how it sounded on accelerations . 👍🥰

[@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.

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]

Uncle memang steady bawak kereta 💪 but scary jugak la so fast🤣🤣

[@YSKhongDriving]

It's about training, a good feel for the car, and skill.

[@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.'

[@mycarnews]

Both are my respect ✊✊

[@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.

[@chengong748]

100k car is not affordable. But I can see this new vios is lot nicer then the previous model. Can't wait to get my on next month❤

[@YSKhongDriving]

Good choice!

[@MrPrajesjose]

damn I wish I have the same guts and skill to drive that fast in that kind of terrain.

One day I hope that I can seat at Kan Cheong place. Really enjoy your driving style sir.

[@YSKhongDriving]

You should!

[@PyaeSone_mgk]

If there's a more powerful version (like GR Yaris), it'll be a hit among young car enthusiasts! But Vios is already a popular car in most Asian markets.

This is the 2023 ViOS Grandtourismo 🎉😊🎉😊 The sports car does not have a spare tire, the head is low on the back and the back seats cannot be folded, which is normal to me. . Maybe Toyota will transform the Vios into a sports car.😮

[@leesieneng9302]

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.

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

[@mikaelahyakuya3485]

Toyota Vios in Malaysia has a 1.5L 106PS engine. But Toyota Yaris Ativ (same car) in Thailand has a 1.2L 94PS engine. The Malaysia one should be a bit faster than the Thai one. The Thai one is super slow.

[@YSKhongDriving]

The 1.2 saves more fuel. In thailand, fuel costs nearly double of what it costs here, hence the choice of the 1.2 liter engine. Malaysia decided on the 1.5 liter because we are power hungry. 😀
