Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the Toyota Vios NGC102 earns its RM13,400 higher price through a 2,620 mm wheelbase, 5.2 L/100 km rated economy and a far fuller active-safety suite, including pre-collision braking and steering correction. It is not a clean sweep: the Toyota Vios NSP151 Facelift has a 506-litre boot against 475 litres and seven airbags rather than six, while its 105 hp and 140 Nm marginally exceed the NGC102’s 104 hp and 138 Nm. Choose the NGC102 for newer-day driving assistance; choose the NSP151 Facelift if luggage capacity and lower outlay lead your priorities.
Pick the Toyota Vios NSP151 Facelift if a 506-litre boot, a seventh airbag and the lower RM77,200 price matter more than active driver assistance.
Pick the Toyota Vios NGC102 if you want pre-collision braking, steering correction, a 2,620 mm wheelbase and lower rated fuel use.
