Toyota continues to lead among non-national brands in Malaysia, with the cumulative sales volume from January to October 2022 reaching 79,308 units. This is a continuation of the positive upward trend which started at the beginning of the year and the brand has consistently been a market leader throughout the year, especially in the pick-up truck segment. The October 2022 sales volume of new vehicles delivered by UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) was 9,281 units, (9,175 of Toyota brand and 106 of Lexus br

Earlier this week, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) launched the Toyota Veloz, a sibling model to the D27A Perodua Alza. While UMWT did not exactly say this, but our Malaysian-spec Veloz is perhaps the highest-spec variant in this region, eclipsing the Indonesian-spec one that was launched earlier. But with all things in life, there is a trade-off in terms of features and the Malaysian-spec Veloz is no different.

The (long) wait for the 2022 Toyota Veloz in Malaysia is nearly over as it's purpotedly launching here virtually on Tuesday, 18-October 2022, according to dealers nationwide.

The Toyota Avanza is no longer in Malaysia and replacing it is the all-new 2022 Toyota Veloz. The twin to the newly-launched (and hotly sought-after) D27A Perodua Alza has yet to reveal its launch date but UMW Toyota (UMWT) recently uploaded another feature teaser on its social media channels. This time, the highlight is the 7-seater MPV/SUV/crossover’s ground clearance which is measured at 190 mm. That’s 30 mm higher than the Alza with variants bearing the 16-inch wheels (H and AV) having a mer

Though the all-new front-wheel-drive (FWD) 2022 Toyota Avanza could likely be only offered in Malaysia as the more upmarket Veloz, some of our neighbours are offering both the Avanza and Veloz. Joining Indonesia and Vietnam is the Philippines as Toyota Motor Philippines has posted a teaser over the weekend. The all-new Avanza was introduced in the Philippines last month (March 2022) with four variants offered priced from PHP 813,000 to PHP 1,039,000 (~RM 66k – RM 84k). Two engines are offered fo

After 10 years on sale in Malaysia, the second-generation Toyota Avanza has been quietly discontinued in Malaysia. The model has been removed from Toyota Malaysia’s website. The second-generation Toyota Avanza was launched in Malaysia back in 2012 and the model received a number of updates over the years.
