The 5th-generation Toyota Prius debuted in late 2022 featuring superb looks, new powertrains, and an updated TNGA platform that vastly improved handling - creating the most driver-focussed Prius ever, in contrast to the efficient runabouts all its predecessors were.

So when that tax exemption expired, the Prius was pulled out of Malaysia. Unlike the Corolla Cross Hybrid (or even the Camry Hybrid before it), lo
