The Toyota Yaris Cross is getting closer to its official Malaysian market launch, as UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has announced that order books in the country are now open for the up-specced twin to the Perodua Traz.
An estimated price list has also emerged, for two variants that will be sold in Malaysia. Estimated pricing for the line-up starts with the Yaris Cross 1.5S at RM99,900, joined by the Yaris Cross 1.5S Hybrid at RM109,900.
Here, UMWT has also revealed that both variants of the Yaris Cross will receive a seven-inch TFT LCD display and digital LED speedometer, a 10.1-inch infotainment head unit that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 18-inch, two-tone alloy wheels of the same design, adaptive cruise control, adaptive high beam and interior illumination.
The Yaris Cross Hybrid adds a wireless phone charger as standard, which can be optioned in the pure petrol Yaris Cross for RM380. Both variants can be optioned with the rear-facing digital video recorder for RM380. For exterior colour options, both petrol and hybrid variants get the same five choices; Dark Turquoise, Silver Metallic, Attitude Black, Spicy Scarlet SE, and Platinum Pearl White (a RM400 selection).
This model first made its global debut in Indonesia in May 2023, and the twin to the Perodua Traz was sighted on Malaysian roads in February this year. The incoming Yaris Cross for Malaysia is the ASEAN-specific model, and it differs from the crossover for the European market which received its latest update earlier this month.
While the exact powertrain specifications of the Yaris Cross for Malaysia have yet to be disclosed by UMWT, we know from details of the Yaris Cross in Indonesia that the petrol 1.5 litre version uses the 2NR-VE 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated inline-four petrol engine that makes 106 PS and 138 Nm, while the Hybrid uses the 2NR-VEX, Atkinson-cycle engine of the same displacement. CVT transmission is expected for both in Malaysia.
Both variants of the Toyota Yaris Cross in Malaysia will be sold with a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty, and both are also available with optional service packages for three years/60,000 km at RM2,350, or for five years/100,000 km at RM3,650. The eight-year hybrid warranty on the Hybrid that covers the battery, inverter and power management ECU can be extended a further two years for RM2,500.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
thanks to government policy, we are also dumping ground for unwanted citizens from other countries, so sampah cars suit sampah rakyat like ours.
i think someone is impersonating me. lol
Overpriced junk. Once you go EV or even EV like Hybrids like the BYD or GWM or Jetour, you never go back to garbage ICE vehicles let alone overpriced turds like these Japanese brands arrogantly assuming Malaysia is a good dumping ground for their unsold trash cans on wheels.
Nope I am the OG Dino, you are the usual fool who posts with “no bria” or “brian no bria” or whatever.
The HEV Yaris at ~110K is a huge threat to many HEVs and PHEVs simply because of Toyota’s brand reputation. I was expecting this would be 125K, 110K is an aggressive move because the chinese EVs have forced Toyota’s hand, they aren’t doing because they like to. But my original comment you copied stands, once you go EV ICE cars are just boring because like the Corolla Cross and HR-V HEV variants the Yaris cross has a weak motor, sure it has that obvious torque vs mass market ICE cars but compared to even lower end EVs its not as impressive. However it wont matter to most given the uncertainties of fuel subsidies in the future. HEV are the bare minimum in the new reality. Either go full EV now or in the very least get an affordable HEV. ICE only cars are dying out, buy ICE only card in today at your peril. Perodua Trash, sorry ‘Traz’, owners now will be feeling utterly remorseful, tough but they should have known better to be patient to wait and see.
Battery tech is still not mature yet, so if you bought EV today, next year will be using new battery
Yeah Sadly, P2 body too light on the road
doesnt feel solid. Handling still rubbish
Yeah, save fuel because its light
but on highway its like a leaf blowing away
Hopefully all those EV/HEV from China are very reliable & have good aftersales. Because there’s new BYD going downward, hopefully it doesnt.
Toyota are just built to impress you (it’s hideous) on the showroom floor. No sauce behind that facade, no driving pleasure, no heritage, no proper human engineering. Pure marketing stunt. I’d rather buy a properly made car at the same price, even more, with less power. Buy a car with a soul, not a glorified iPad on wheels. 100K buy a 2019 Audi A4..
100k for a 2019 audi A4???? and spend another RM100k to fix that thing every time its broken? Only Buy a conti new and within its warranty period…..or else its just a money pit. If you cant afford a new conti, just get a Japs/Chinese cars with warranty.
Wow hybrid only RM110k , HRV RS will be hit hard this time .
Both hrv and corolla cross no more resale value. Drop rm40k++ lost
Tiggo4 Hybrid is around RM15k cheaper.
Honda : sighh…
They can sell their rubbish Wrv elsewhere now c:
Mantap
Ok Toyota, now we are talking.
Of course I would prefer the price for Hybrid to be sub RM100k, but it is what it is.
Good timing as we are in the middle of global oil crisis.
Please continue to bring in other hybrid models ie: Corolla, RAV4, and Prius.
the price is too expensive.
the rear of this car irl looks a bit off ngl
Yaris Cross 1.5 tax for both is RM9k???
The features shown are all missing pieces on the traz. Worth rm20k.
What perodua should focus from begining is producing PHEV cars, make next gen Myvi to be hybrid for high spec at 65K. Then bezza with 55K
IF Toyota allowed it, Perodua need Toyota approval. So far, Toyota reserved high spec version for themselves.
Next Myvi will be the next Yaris or Vios hatchback whichever Toyota decided to called it. But pretty sure toyota give Perodua their full blessings to fully develop it, that why next Yaris is a bit delay or behind schedule. Yaris hybrid probably will be reserve under toyota badge
Perodua has been testing a series-hybrid powertrain in the form of the Ativa Hybrid, this is a similar system as used on the Nissan Kicks ePower. I believe that car is sold in Japan under the Toyota Raize eSmart and the Daihatsu Rocky eSmart hybrid. Rumours goes that the top-spec next myvi may receive this variant.
all the nice china cars in the market what for buy this junk
enough buying cars.
a new car is a want rather than a need.
save your money for retirement.
Hopefully will fair better than previous 100k Toyota efforts like Sienta and Rush
Cincai buy trax x rm76k enough. Those acc, power seat, digital meter,18 inch rim less use for me
