Langkawi Hill Climb With All-New Vios - Most-Fun-Car Award, See How it Flows | YS Khong Driving

The All-New Vios is going to find itself a place in the hearts of many young drivers. It is an affordable B-segment sedan, now much lighter and more agile. A more rigid chassis, larger wheels, and 10kg lighter than the outgoing Vios, the new Vios, with a longer wheelbase, handles so much better.
Watch our stint on the Langkawi equivalent of our Genting climb, and see for yourself just how much fun the Vios is. Both of us in the car, Mr. Sim of iGarage and myself were very impressed.

Dear Sir, have watched few video of you driving. You are the only one who can really push the car to its limit. No other pro-driver can help us to test the car performance better than you. It's way more enjoy to watch your driving than initial D. 😍 The smile on your face so convinced how you felt about the driving experience. Can't wait to see you test this on Genting road again! Thanks sir! 🤝

Thanks!

And i tested already this new vios. Lagi sedap but then feels a little bit cramped. Suitable for small family with good incomes.

[@Bobby-zw2un]

Wow Uncle that was a lot of praise on the chassis and handling, how would you compare it to something like the Mazda 3? I know price wise its unfair to compare but these 2 cars are in my wish list so I just have to know 😅 many thanks in advance and as always, great driving!

[@YSKhongDriving]

The Mazda 3 is C segment, and has 50 horses more; cannot compare, but if you want to talk about the Vios package, I would say it is a good package. Just on handling, it is as good, I would say, based on the power available. The chassis has good potential for another 20 horses.

[@davidletterboyz]

Should compare to Mazda 2.

[@nickwong2525]

In terms of price and segment, cannot compare la bro lol. Vios competitor is Honda City and Mazda 2, while Mazda 3 competitor is Honda Civic and Toyota Altis. C-segment cars are miles ahead in terms of refinement in everything.

[@Bobby-zw2un]

Thanks for the reply gents! Haha yes I know its an unfair comparison, but personally I’ve never seen Uncle giving this much praise to a car so I just had to ask. Again thanks for the input guys😄

​@@YSKhongDriving If it is good for another 20 horses then the coming vios hybrid would be nice to have.

[@tim92019]

Family car like I nitial D

[@tavorrulez]

If this car comes to SG, i think people will give it a stage 1 tune to about 120hp. More than enough power increase to make the new vios fly

[@metzmatu8409]

Tuning to 120 HP would effect the engine reliability

[@tavorrulez]

@@metzmatu8409 No. It doesn’t. That is for turbocharged engines when you are dealing with boost pressure where combustion is happening at a higher compression pressure. NA engines only deal with VVT tuning, ignition timing and AFR. None of those affect reliability for NA engines. Want to affect reliability? Forced induction on factory engines that come as an NA unit.

[@LeFanxyy]

COE prices for CAT A is insane right now… i doubt there will be a lot of buyers for the new Vios when they can get a bigger Avante/Cerato for just a bit more

[@tavorrulez]

COE is COE, you either have or don’t have the money. The Korean cars are more unreliable even though they are B&B cars. The Japs are more reliable and have a better reputation. There will people who prefer Jap reliability over Korean style.

[@YSKhongDriving]

The platform, not the chassis. A platform can be stretched or trimmed down to suit different bodies, so it is not necessarily the same. The Vios drives totally differently from the Alza, becausr of different wheelbase, different length, different height and weight distribution.
