There are currently two new models of Toyota Vios for sale in the domestic market, priced at RM 89,600 and RM 95,500, respectively. Because the front face of Toyota Vios is similar to Toyota Camry, it is also known as the "Baby Camry". The new Toyota Vios features a streamlined body design and LED headlights. The size of the vehicle has also been adjusted, and the length, width, and height have slightly increased. The wheelbase has also been extended by 70mm, making the interior space more spacious.

On the power front, Toyota Vios is equipped with a 1.5L dual VVT-i four-cylinder engine, with a maximum power of 78kW (approximately 106PS), and a maximum torque of 138Nm, matched with a 7-speed CVT gearbox. Although the power parameters are similar to the old model, the new model will be more light and agile to drive because the weight of the vehicle has been reduced by 110kg.

Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?
The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
