Platform & Design

The Vios gets a brand-new platform along with new striking styling which shares a resemblance with the all-electric bZ4x.

At the front, the sedan features a hammerhead shark-like look which gives the car instant recognition. Also, part of the design kit is the ‘AeroKit’ that includes a rear spoiler, rear diffuser, side skirt, and front lip. Like the Alza, the Vios also gets an RFID tag, however, it misses out on a spare wheel.

The two Vios trims can be differentiated from each other via the grille finish, wheels, window trims, and taillamps. A sequential rear indicator is exclusive to the G trim.
