SERI KEMBANGAN: UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd has sold about 200,000 Toyota Vios cars in Malaysia so far, said president Ismet Suki.
Last year, sales of Toyota Vios rose 15% to 33,700 units compared with 2009, he said at the launch of the Toyota Vios 1.5G Limited variant on Wednesday.
Ismet said Toyota Vios 1.5G Limited was an enhanced version of the G variant.
The car is priced at RM89,600 (on the road, with insurance for private registration in the peninsula).
The latest variant comes with newly designed aerokits, new front grille and dark silver-coloured 15-inch rim.
The new variant will be available at Toyota showrooms throughout the peninsula from July 1 and in Sabah and Sarawak from July 15.
Also present at the launch were Wing Hin Automobile chairman Loh Tuck Sum, UMW Toyota Motor executive director Keiichi Murakami and UMW Toyota Motor director of vehicle sales group Khong Man Cheong.
