Recently, Toyota launched the Sports Edition of the 2017 Vios in the Malaysian market. According to the Japanese automaker, the 2017 Vios Sports Edition is designed with inspiration from the racing cars participating in the Toyota Gazoo Racing (TGR) Vios Challenge.

The 2017 Toyota Vios Sports Edition is based on the standard 1.5J trim level in the Malaysian market. From the few images released by Toyota, it appears the 2017 Vios Sports Edition features a new body kit, giving it a more aggressive and sporty design.

Next is the large rear spoiler and multi-spoke 15-inch alloy wheels, similar to those on the 1.5G version.
