so you mean there's absolutely no chance for the car to launch in the next 12 months?
if they really only release it in 2026, it better be a FL version rather than the original one that's launched in Indonesia in June 2023

to answer your question, I'm in no hurry to get a new car; and also I'm not hell-bent on getting TYC - therefore keeping my options open

I think P2 would release early next year as they didn't release anything in 2024. If Nexis and Emo release next year, it won't be shocked if they hit 400K plus although that would mean working over their capacity.

Even so to late alot of China car coming in eating their market.

Toyota Yaris Cross may not launch in Malaysia. What is alternative for Hybrid Compact SUV besides those China brand or H brand?

I just bought the facelift CC Hybrid, got it for RM131.8K during year end, so it's bang for bucks. The drive is so smooth. But I would still say the Yaris Cross interior has a better ergonomics.

The interface display sebiji mcm Ativa. Aduh.

I owned an Ativa as well. I prefer the Ativa UI interface on the MID (it's much more intutive like using an Apple product) and there are things that are better thought (which are also reflected on the Yaris Cross). For example, CC front's cabin light can only be on or off but can't be controlled based on the door. There's no foot lighting on both driver and passenger as well. Ativa's cabin light also turns on when you go near the car. The dashboard on CC also curve out too much that it eat up space inside at the front. Ativa and Yaris Cross doesn't have this sort of odd design. And don't let me talk about the television screen on the CC albeit it has shrinked a little bit on the facelift and the USB cable plug position on the screen. I felt that the team that design the smaller Toyota car are better in terms of ergonomics.

Its Febuary soon alot peope giving up on this car already & going to obselite.

Haha sure this model die out already right?

Dead already this project am I right? haha

No more launch in Malaysia la.... Go for other brands....

Well,the car still exist. And RND still doing stuff. Last known problem are they installing new model rear view camera.

For sure will release la. Already set up so many local vendor making parts. Cost like molding and stamping, you think the vendors can do it for free if cancel? It's just a matter of time. If can't wait, just get other cars.

"Last known problem"? Install new model rear view camera consider problem? Dont buy those first batch.... So will it launch in 2026 while other ASEAN countries will launch facelift?
