In the Malaysian car market, SUV models, with their versatility and comfort, meet various consumer needs. However, for many consumers, there is often no clear understanding when buying a car. If you have a car budget of around RM 150,000, these models may be excellent choices.

1. Toyota Corolla Cross   RM 130,900-146,000


Toyota Corolla Cross, a new member of the Toyota family, has attracted a lot of attention since its launch. From the name, we can see that it's the SUV version of Toyota Corolla.

The design of Corolla Cross is sleek and smooth, in line with current trends. In terms of space, the wheelbase of Corolla Cross is 2640mm, and the length, width, and height are 4450/1825/1620mm, respectively.

Overall, if you like the Toyota Corolla and want versatile product strength, the Toyota Corolla Cross is well worth considering.


2. Honda CR-V         RM 146,900-195,900

Apart from some deficiencies in sound insulation and comfort, it is a very versatile family SUV.


3. Mazda CX-5        RM 143,300-187,200


Mazda CX-5 is a popular SUV model in the Mazda brand, with its unique design and stable performance, it has made its mark in the market.

In terms of power, CX-5 offers a variety of engine options, including 2.2L and 2.5L naturally aspirated engines. These engines match the 6-speed Skyactiv automatic gearbox, which provides a smooth and economical driving experience. Mazda CX-5 is a very individualistic SUV. It has attractive looks and good handling, but the space inside the vehicle is not very impressive. If you have taller family members, you may need to consider this factor more seriously.


4. Nissan X-Trail      RM 128,630-157,451

Nissan X-Trail is a mid-size SUV model created by Nissan automobile company. This car model has evolved over the decades and therefore has a high influence and is warmly welcomed by global consumers.

In terms of power, X-Trail offers a variety of power options, including 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engines. Its reliability and fuel consumption have a stable reputation in the market.


Summary


The above four SUVs from Japanese brands all have an obvious advantage, that is, stable quality and lower energy consumption levels. However, they are vastly different in product style, space performance, and ride comfort. Everyone can choose based on their own preferences. For family consumers, choosing a suitable model will definitely enhance the sense of happiness and bring great convenience to travel.
