Toyota EV prices in Malaysia leaked before launch – Urban Cruiser RM198k, Hilux RM226k, bZ4X RM220k

Earlier today, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) posted a teaser of a trio of EV models, and it now appears that price lists for this battery-electric trio, the Urban Cruiser, Hilux BEV and bZ4X have leaked to social media.

The bZ4X facelift has been shown in Thailand at the ongoing 2026 Bangkok International Motor Show, and this is sold in the kingdom in two variants, FWD and AWD, from 1,529,000 baht (RM185,468) for the former, and 1,649,000 baht (RM200,024) for the latter.

Power output as listed in the bZ4X facelift price list for Malaysia is 167 kW, or 227 PS, which is indicative of single-motor FWD variant. This is stated to be priced at RM220,000 on-the-road without insurance, with a five-year, unlimited mileage vehicle warranty and an eight-year, unlimited mileage warranty for the battery, inverter and BEV ECU; the latter can be extended a further two years for RM5,700.

The Hilux BEV, known as the Hilux Travo-e in Thailand, is priced at RM226,300 on-the-road without insurance. Like the bZ4X facelift, the Hilux BEV is sold with a five-year, unlimited mileage vehicle warranty and an eight-year, unlimited mileage warranty for the battery, inverter and BEV ECU, and similarly is also offered with the option of extending the battery, inverter and ECU warranty a further two years for RM5,700.

This is listed with a powertrain output of 144 kW, or 196 PS, which is the combined outputs of the Travo-e with its 112 PS/205 Nm front motor and 176 PS/268 Nm rear motor, drawing from a 59.2 kWh battery for 240 km of range (WLTP); this supports up to 125 kW DC and 11 kW AC charging.

Completing the trio is the newcomer to the model range, the Urban Cruiser. A compact EV twin to the Suzuki eVitara that is also on its way to Malaysia, the Urban Cruiser is listed at RM198,000.

Like the bZ4X facelift and the Hilux BEV, the Urban Cruiser is stated to be sold with a five-year, unlimited mileage vehicle warranty and an eight-year, unlimited mileage warranty for the battery, inverter and BEV ECU, as well as the option of extending the battery, inverter and ECU warranty a further two years for RM5,700.

The Urban Cruiser price list states a powertrain output of 128 kW, or 174 PS, which points to the 174 PS/189 Nm single front motor powertrain that draws from a 61 kWh battery.

With the emergence of these price lists for this trio of battery-electric models from Toyota, a market launch should be imminent. Which of these get your interest?

    Toyota has been resilient in fighting the onslaught of Chinese EVs in the global market.

    However, this pricing is not going to sway Malaysian buyers who will continue to choose the attractive Chinese EVs with more features at a lower price point.
