Vios GR Sport First Genting Drive, Up in the Dry, Down in the Wet | How Does the10-Speed CVT do?

Once again, it is thanks to United Star Corporation, our friendly Toyota dealer in Aman Suria and now also in Nilai, that we are able to share our first quick drive up the mountain. Other than a different front mask, a tail spoiler and some cosmetics, the key differences are a Sports-tuned suspension, inched up tyres, now 17- inch with lower profile tyres, and a 10-speed CVT that can be invoked in Sport Mode. Interestingly, the TCU 'locks' the gear ratios, and allows the engine rpm to build up, just like in a normal transmission, and with 10 speeds, it feels like a set of super-close gear ratios. The 10-speed box really gives the Vios a more sporty performance - I qouldn't be surprised if they decide to make it a standard feature for every variant. As an added bonus, we get to check out the Vios GR Sport both in the dry and in the wet. Please enjoy the video, and once again we thank United Star Corporation for the loan of the car. If you want to check out and perhaps test the very car we drove up, give us a buzz and we will set it up. Subscribers only, so you know what to do.
