by · Paul Tan's Automotive News

UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has released official details for the the 2026 Toyota Vios Hybrid in Malaysia, where it is offered in two variants – the 1.5 HEV AT at RM103,900, and the 1.5 HEV GR Sport AT at RM109,900; prices for both variants are estimated, on-the-road without insurance.

The headline feature here of course is the powertrain, which is the fourth-generation Toyota hybrid powertrain that is capable of a claimed fuel consumption of 3.6 litres per 100 km (NEDC).

The official Malaysian website has yet to detail powertrain specifics, though referencing Thailand market specifications, the Vios Hybrid in the kingdom gets a 1,496 cc 2NR-VEX naturally aspirated inline-four cylinder petrol engine that outputs 91 PS at 5,500 rpm and 121 Nm from 4,000 rpm to 4,800 rpm.

This is paired with an 80 PS/141 Nm electric motor powered by a 0.7 kWh lithium-ion battery located below the rear seats, sending a combined 111 PS to the front wheels through an e-CVT automatic transmission.

Visually, the 1.5 HEV variant of the Vios Hybrid wears a dark chrome upper grille on a front fascia that is otherwise unchanged from the purely petrol-powered Vios.

Inside, the electrified variant gets new ambient lighting, and a larger 10.1 Digital Audio infotainment unit supporting wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Vios Hybrid also gets an audible vehicle approach notice to alert pedestrians and cyclists of the approaching vehicle.

The GR Sport version of the 2026 Vios Hybrid gets a bit more visual differentiation with a GR Sport-specific front bumper and grille with aerokit, and rolling stock gets upsized to 17-inch diameter items. This variant is depicted on the Toyota Malaysia website with Continental PremiumContact 6 tyres, which should be of 205/50R17 sizing. The GR Sport also gets a variant-specific tune for its springs and dampers.

Inside, the Vios Hybrid GR Sport gets variant-specific leather and suede-upholstered front seats, with silver accents applied to the overall black interior colour scheme. Like its accompanying 1.5 HEV trim version, the GR Sport also gets the upgraded 10.1-inch, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto-capable infotainment unit.

For exterior colours, the 2026 Toyota Vios Hybrid 1.5 HEV is offered in Platinum White Pearl, Spicy Scarlet SE, Attitude Black, Silver Metallic and the Vios Hybrid-exclusive Celestite Grey Metallic. For the GR Sport version, colours are Platinum White Pearl, Spicy Scarlet SE and Attitude Black, with the former two also available as GR Sport-exclusive two-tone offerings which pair with black.

With estimated pricing for the 1.5 HEV AT at RM103,900, and the 1.5 HEV GR Sport AT at RM109,900, the 2026 Toyota Vios Hybrid in Malaysia will be sold with a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty, and an eight-year, unlimited mileage warranty on the battery, inverter, and power management unit.
