Q

When will Toyota Yaris Cross be launched in Malaysia?

The launch of the Toyota Yaris Cross in Malaysia has been confirmed to be delayed until 2025. Initially scheduled for release between September and October 2024, the launch has now been rescheduled to 2025 due to several factors, including rigorous quality verification to ensure that the vehicle meets the demands of the Southeast Asian market. This compact SUV, built on the DNGA-B platform, is specifically designed for the Southeast Asian market, with dimensions of 4310mm x 1770mm x 1615mm and a wheelbase of 2620mm. It offers a ground clearance of 210mm, balancing urban driving flexibility with the ability to handle complex road conditions. The Yaris Cross comes equipped with popular features such as a panoramic sunroof, Level 2 semi-autonomous driving assistance system (Toyota Safety Sense), six airbags, and an electric tailgate. In terms of powertrains, the vehicle will be available with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine (106 PS/138 Nm, matched to a D-CVT transmission) or a 1.5-liter hybrid system (109 PS, paired with an E-CVT). This dual-option setup caters to both fuel economy and performance. Notably, the Yaris Cross will be introduced in Malaysia as a CKD (completely knocked down) unit, potentially allowing for a more competitive pricing strategy. Additionally, the hybrid version's impressive fuel efficiency—approximately 17.5 kilometers per liter—will attract environmentally conscious and cost-effective consumers. As the demand for compact SUVs in the Malaysian market continues to grow, the Yaris Cross's entry will further enrich Toyota's product lineup in this segment.

Q
Why is Nissan discontinuing the NV200?
Nissan's decision to discontinue the NV200 is primarily driven by changes in global market demand, as well as adjustments to emissions regulations and product strategies in various regions. Originally targeting the commercial MPV segment, the NV200 has seen its sales impacted as consumer preferences shift towards more fuel-efficient, high-performance, or electrified models, such as the NV200's electric version, the e-NV200. Moreover, increasing competition in the SUV and MPV markets, with brands like Toyota and Mitsubishi introducing more modern models, has rendered the NV200 less competitive in certain areas. Instead, Nissan is focusing its resources on developing a new generation of electric and hybrid commercial vehicles to align with future environmental trends. In the Malaysian market, the NV200 is primarily sold as an imported vehicle, and factors such as pricing and local supply chain considerations have also affected its popularity, ultimately prompting Nissan to adjust its product line strategy. Despite this, the NV200 has maintained a solid reputation in both commercial and consumer markets, and Nissan may introduce a replacement model in the future to meet market demands.
