This morning, UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd (UMWT) officially launched the Toyota Vios HEV (hybrid electric vehicle) and Vios HEV GR Sport, which more importantly, comes together with the localisation of hybrid battery assembly at its Bukit Raja manufacturing facility. The combined initiative reflects the brand’s long-term commitment to making electrified mobility accessible, practical, and scalable for Malaysians. In other words, it allows the Toyota hybrids to be made more affordable to us here as it is locally assembled in certain models.
The Vios HEV is also available in a GR Sport (GR-S) version with sportier looks and enhanced performance. Both models are assembled locally and will be offered alongside the Vios 1.5G and Vios 1.5E, expanding the choices for the Vios, which has been among the bestselling models in the non-national segment since it was first launched over 20 years ago. The Vios HEV is priced from RM103,900, while the Vios HEV GR Sport starts from RM109,900 for Peninsular Malaysia, making it Toyota’s most accessible hybrid offering in the market.
