Toyota Vios G 2021 Genting HillClimb / By Popular Request / YS Khong Driving

Here it is guys, the Toyota Vios G 2021 on Genting Hill Climb - We managed to get in a drive in this latest interpretation of the Vios G, and again it is many thanks to UnitedStar Corporation, our friendly Toyota dealership in Aman Suria, Petaling Jaya for the loan of the car.
This drive is in response to the numerous requests from our viewers and subscribers. Surprisingly, the drive was a lot smoother than the previous Vios we took up - perhaps they have done some fine tuning to the chassis and/or drive train, or was it my driving is getting better?
Whatever it is, it tells me that there is yet life in this model - it is one of the better handling B-segment sedans, a very well put together package.
And remember, you can book the car through our channel:

Wow, what a drive with no traffic. Just smooth sailing all the way. Great video as always.

[@vastolordes672]

Uncle..you are so legend lah..i dont think i can withstand drive fast uphill like that in genting…Respect uncle😍

[@shukrysabudin5998]

I own Vios G too. I love the suspension and NVH but the engine is not too responsive. Always "roaring" depends on driving ways. Just for santai2 driving its really okay. I choose Vios than City because of the Realibilty, Resale Value & Comfort. And the biggest why i choose because of my wife. Hahaha She love Toyota. As a husband, we are Head of Family but wife is a Neck of Family. Head never turn if neck wont turn. Kbye.

Saya ada vios G kaler oren, umo 3 bulan setgh. Tp belum pernah pakai paddle shifter. Tengok uncle drive mcm ni saya pulak seram😅. I chose vios over city because of safety features and low maintenance as well. I don't need speed bcoz I drive pun biasa² saje. Safety first. 😊

[@jamesy3013]

The moment uncle took the first corner wide after the guard post, you know he’s going all out haha. Nice that you could finally push a little harder with less traffic, with all the wide entries and clipping apexes. Am surprised to see that the current generation of ASEAN Yaris’s platform seems very well sorted from the way it looks how planted it is in the corners. It seems to be a very well fun packaged car that could be very well sporty and affordable, except the design taste and cvt seems a like a drawback.

[@esk4105]

At least new Vios facelift have improved including front bumper. Even interior looks good and more neat. Besides that, this CVT shouldn’t have any problem because this CVT was made from Aisin/Toyota.

[@kowpatrick1086]

Finally vios G !!

[@kchmyy]

Imo, Vios is the best B-segment car in 2020 and 2021.

[@calvinkuay4526]

I own a Yaris, the only complain is that the suspension is too soft hence going highspeed can get quite scary sometimes especially cornering. But other than that, the car is damn solid and I do always look back at ma car every time after parking :P

[@ZACKHO24]

Ya true. Need to have big gut to drive fast throughout the corner🤣

[@YSKhongDriving]

I thought the suspension is good enough. I think it is the same suspension as the Vios. You can buy the Vios GRS shocks and fit, or buy the trd shocks used in the Gazio Vios.

[@Jxian]

Uncle how you do the tyre screetching sound during corner? Eargasm🤤

[@pannirselvan2170]

I owned a Vios E spec on June. I love the stability of the car. But the suspension seems little bit scary when you hit the speed bump. The sound is quite scary. Otherwise the performance and the fuel consumption is very good. Most importantly, I’ve watched this video several times before I buy the Vios.

Hi uncle, I'm planning to get my first car. I would like to know, in your opinion between the new Honda City and the Vios G which has a better handling and driving experience?

[@YSKhongDriving]

They are quite close. The City has a small advantage on power, but the Vios would handle a little better.

[@dannySG61]

Can go up Genting from Klang Valley already? 🤔 P.S. nice drive, uncle

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes, but you need a permit. Had to pass 3 roadblocks, and they will check.

Nice driving uncle! Between vios g and grs, which is more plush in terms of ride comfort for daily use? I live in sabah, many uneven roads here.. i like the grs more, but afraid that the suspension will fell harsh compared to vios g due tu sports tuned suspension.. appreciate your view on this matter..

It is not that harsh, so you can use it. Don't worry, go for it.

[@YSKhongDriving]

We have 2 videos on the Ativa, and we definitely went uphill in it. 400k views

[@lonelyself1]

I think the handling of current B-Segment car consider quick adequate and in average level. Maybe the differential between each others are more comfortable or stiff during low / medium / high speed corner

[@YSKhongDriving]

Yes, and it depends on tyres size, tyee profile and design objectives

[@lifestyle19721]

Hi uncle khong, all the while driving up genting are you using normal "D" shift for auto tran ? If using L2 will it be overheating?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Should be okay because you won't be hitting high speeds. In fact it is better for your car, less strain on the engine and transmission.

[@qingqing24]

uncle. hope one day you can test 1st generation of nissan almera and honda city. would like to know the comparison of all 3 models

[@YSKhongDriving]

Those cars may be hard to come by.

[@tishen0006]

honestly speaking i'm shocked at how long toyota has managed to provide the vios with just 107hp. city has improved on the hp and torque and almera has increased torque but vios is exactly the same still. If anyone is looking for a 2nd hand B segment car i would like to suggest you to have a look at nissan latio. Just enough power output and its very comfortable on the inside also its cheaper than 2nd hand vios and city first gens.

[@esk4105]

But at least Vios is more reliability and durability. Even Vios comes with updated features such as Apple CarPlay and AndroidAuto, ADAS like AEB, Lane Departure Warning, and also got Emergency Stop Signal, aside also come with Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.

[@YSKhongDriving]

The Latio is from 20 years ago.

[@lplp7656]

Latio HB version , great inside out , engine , gearbox premium materials , and superb build up quality for B segment class, Best of the Best : Lounge Class Plushy Front Seats. Vios and City of that generation can’t come even close. Sadly , no more .

[@chanboonping388]

Hope to see Uncle Khong test VW Arteon 4 Motion

[@YSKhongDriving]

Soon, I hope to be able to.

[@1992vinod]

Both city and vios is meant to be a daily commuter car. However for some reason i feel the cvt in vios does not utilise all its torque and hp while the city cvt was programmed well.Based on my test drive .Dont u agree with me uncle??

[@YSKhongDriving]

I think there may be some differences in the programming objectives. Everythimg depends on what were the parameters set when tuning the cvt and engine. Each has its merits. I think the Vios is tuned more aggressively.

[@esk4105]

Depends bro. Vios uses Aisin while City uses Earth Dreams Technology. But honestly, based on CVT status, Vios is more reliability than City, because sadly heard that Earth Dreams Technology Gearbox has biggest issues, jerking movements and also very costlier to change parts, which makes life more difficult.

[@gslee442]

Hi uncle, vios G compared almera vlt , which one is better? I mean handing and cornering, thank you.

[@YSKhongDriving]

They are quite close, with perhaps a very slight advamtage to the Almera, whuch has 205/55 tyres. The slightly wider tyres help a bit through the corners The new Almera is a big improvement on the old. The design and engineering objectives have changed.

[@azmirahman6387]

Thanks, Uncle! How does G fares against GRS?

[@YSKhongDriving]

The GRS handles a bit better, and the additional ratios help it to build up speed a little better.

[@maarofrazif2287]

Uncle..your opinion which better city or vios 2021?and if u have 80k which one u choose?

[@YSKhongDriving]

I would really have a problem then, hahaha. Seriously, both are great cars, so just pick the one that you like more.

[@hoomee7605]

[@xinglee9731]

why look like this car have better top speed at the last straight road during up hill compare to GRS? Is it affect by the gearbox setting?

[@YSKhongDriving]

Different riad conditions, the exit soeed from the last corner, other traffic, weather, all affect the terminal speed. Even a lone motorcycle can affect the speed.

[@afiqaizat3368]

Uncle, which one do you think is better overall between G spec and GRS ? Was there any much different? Tq

[@YSKhongDriving]

GRS drives so much better, because of the suspension upgrade and the 10-speed: the lower ratios are closer so one can convert the torque more easily.

City RS only compares with Vios GR-S which can’t compare with normal variants of Vios.
