Yup. You can just about make out the outlines of the bZ4X, new Hilux (which now has an EV version) and Urban Cruiser in the teaser above. They’re all battery-electric vehicles. Finally, finally, Toyota EVs are Malaysia-bound. Let’s explore them one by one.
We just saw the 2026 Toyota bZ4X facelift in Bangkok, where it’s offered in two variants – the 1.529 million baht (RM185k) FWD and the 1.649 million baht (RM200k) AWD. The FWD has one front-mounted motor producing 224 PS and 269 Nm of torque. The AWD adds on a 118 PS/170 Nm rear motor for a combined 343 PS. Both get a 73.1-kWh lithium-ion battery (525 km WLTP for FWD, 481 km WLTP for AWD), 150 kW DC (10-80% in 28 minutes) and 22 kW AC charging. More about the Thai-market car here.
Then there’s the pick-up truck. The 1.491 million baht (RM180k) Hilux Travo-e (as Thailand calls it) is available there in only one variant – double-cab, 112 PS/205 Nm front motor + 176 PS/268 Nm rear motor (196 PS combined), 59.2-kWh battery (240 km WLTP), 125 kW DC and 11 kW AC charging. It’s still based on the IMV platform, but work has been done to increase rigidity, improve handling and reduce vibration.
Finally, the Urban Cruiser EV – this twin to the Suzuki eVitara (which is also Malaysia-bound, by the way) is sized between the bZ4X and Yaris Cross. Indonesia gets three variants – a 144 PS/189 Nm one-motor FWD with a 49-kWh battery, a 174 PS/189 Nm one-motor FWD with a 61-kWh battery, and a 184 PS/300 Nm two-motor AWD with a 61-kWh battery. Excited for Beyond Zero?

Could all these be more than 250k CBU?
So what is MITI going to do for these
DoA? LOL.
With the current cruel oil price keep increasing, if the price tag for all these cars appropriate, that will be a good bargain buy….
saw one in guangzhou, nice but did not look further as i know it would be far from my reach if in malaysia.
Miti should ban all this stupid toyota low tech stuff
i hope it wont be another Camry in Malaysia. Failing tremendously eventhough there is no Accord / Teana / PUG 508 / Sonata / Optima…
Why the front bonnet underneath so messy. Remember EV is much “simple” setup than ICE and all EV should have frunk.
