Toyota Estima telah ditamatkan pengeluaran oleh Toyota pada tahun 2019. Model MPV popular tersebut melalui penjualan generasi akhir yang sukar kerana dibayangi oleh model Toyota Alphard dan Toyota Vellfire yang lebih premium. Walaubagaimanapun, MPV dengan pelbagai konfigurasi penumpang ini masih popular di Malaysia. Ia masih boleh dibeli oleh penjual kereta recond dan terpakai. Toyota Estima merupakan MPV yang boleh dinaiki dengan selesa pada tempat duduk baris ketiga dengan harga yang lebih mes

MPVs were once a hot commodity and none were as legendary as the Toyota Estima. The unique egg-shaped van was a favourite among Malaysian families, providing versatility and loads of space. However, the legacy of Toyota’s eponymous MPV is sadly gone. Toyota quietly killed off the Estima in 2019 and few actually noticed its untimely death. We’ve already waxed lyrical about how the first-gen Estima was a gamechanger (and deserves to be a modern classic). So, we’ll put the spotlight on the subseque

MPV suatu ketika dahulu adalah komoditi yang popular dan tiada yang lebih ‘lejen’ daripada Toyota Estima. Van berbentuk bujur telur yang unik ini pernah menjadi kegemaran para keluarga di Malaysia kerana ia serba-boleh dan mempunyai ruang dalaman yang luas. Namun, legasi MPV Toyota ini malangnya sudah berlalu pergi. Secara senyap, Toyota telah menggugurkan Estima pada tahun 2019 dan tidak ramai yang perasan kematian MPV ini di pasaran kereta baru negara kita. Kami sudahpun ceritakan bagaimana Es

Toyota in the 1990s was on a roll when it came to producing some of the greatest cars of the modern era. Models like the A80 Supra, SW20 MR2, the Z30 Soarer and even the X90 Chaser/Mark II/Cresta became modern cult classics among car fans. However, there is another Toyota model from that period that should also deserve to be a modern classic. It was revolutionary in design, had some clever engineering, and more importantly for a Toyota, pretty reliable. I'm of course talking about the first gene

Setiap keluarga yang semakin membesar sememangnya memerlukan kenderaan untuk membawa keseluruhan ahli yang semakin bertambah. Sebagai ibu bapa, mereka lebih prihatin akan keperluan dan keselesaan setiap ahli keluarga. Di Malaysia, antara kenderaan yang memulakan kehangatan kereta keluarga ialah Toyota Estima. Toyota Estima yang kita kenali sejak ia dihangatkan pada awal era 2000-an sebenarnya bermula daripada Toyota Previa yang diperkenalkan pada tahun 1990. Generasi pertama (XR 10. XR 20; 1990-

Ever wondered what would a Toyota Innova look like if its regular 2.0-litre engine was swapped out for a 3.0-litre inline-6 from the GR Supra? Well, that sounds mad but Toyota Great Britain (GB) once did something similar to one of their MPVs nearly 25 years ago. Back in 1997, Toyota GB’s PR and Social department transformed a sensible Toyota Picnic MPV into the crazy-sounding Picnic Sport Turbo. The Picnic was more recognised in Malaysia as the Ipsum where it was one of the more popular grey im

UMW Toyota Motor has opened bookings for the 2021 Toyota Yaris facelift earlier this morning. There's been an approximately RM 1k+ bump across the range, so lets see what buyers will get for for the extra dosh. Exterior - cleaner design Most will agree that the new facelift is far easier on the eyes than the outgoing Yaris. Changes now include LED head lamps and daytime running lights (DRLs) across all three variants, and an aggressive front bumper that looks much simpler than before. It still w

You are not the only one who think that cars are getting a little bit too expensive. Malaysians have long complained about high car prices due to our lopsided tax structure but actually, this is a question asked by consumers from all over the world. Data from USA’s Edmunds.com show that the average transaction price for a new car has gone up from USD 23,900 in year 2008 to almost USD 39,000 in 2019, the last available pre-pandemic level data. This flies against conventional logic. You would thin

Sources in UMW Toyota familiar to the matter gave a resounding no, the Raize will not be sold as a Toyota in Malaysia. This is largely due to the fact that UMW Toyota is

The B-segment sedan race is heating up for sure with UMW Toyota just only announcing (estimated) prices for the latest 2021 Toyota Vios facelift. Malaysians are pretty much spoilt for choice in getting a brand-new B-segment sedan with rivals like the Honda City and the Nissan Almera also vying to get buyers.

Once again, we are reminded that if you want to learn what is actually happening in the car market, you have to get off Facebook, and start talking to people who are actually buying / selling cars. We’ve just learned from Toyota dealers that UMW Toyota Motor has sold out their entire year’s planned allocation for the 2021 Toyota Harrier in less than 1 week after its launch. The number of orders collected is a big slap in the face of the negativities on Facebook surrounding the RM 249,706 Toyota

Japan’s best-selling car is no longer the Toyota Corolla, but the Toyota Raize. Since it went on sale in Japan last November, the Raize has been climbing up the sales charts.

Its sister-car the Daihatsu Rocky, which the Toyota Raize is based on, didn’t sell as well though, with just 17,455 units sold. This is to be expected. Although the

Photos depicting the new 2020 Toyota Hilux have emerged on social media, just moments after its SUV sibling, the Fortuner, was unmasked. Thanks to MZ Crazy Car’s Facebook page, we now have a pretty good look at how the Hilux facelift is shaping up.
