But the Toyota SA told me there will be Yaris Cross this year after Perodua's Nexis come out first. But that was mentioned 2 months ago. Perodua salesmen usually are very tight lipped, also have a sales contact which we bought our car from.

That late? They supposed to have an all new model this year.

Automachi said it will be 2nd half of 2024. Maybe it's early of the 2nd half.

Only worry UMW/Sime Darby too greedy until petrol version become 109K and hybrid 124K.

That was before the test crash scandal.

There's a nice hole pricing from 95.5K to 130.9K that UMW stupidly didn't fill for so long. Honda has many sitting at this price range. Let's hope it's closer to the 100K mark because this Daihatsu based shouldn't be overly priced.

I do think they might be targetting to come out around when RON95 subsidy is removed. The hybrid version will fly out of the window by boats especially if Perodua has a version of it.

My Toyota salesmen said early next year for Yaris Cross and Corolla Cross updated version end of this year probably due to not much bigger change needed to the production line for CC compared to YC (plus the scandal).

Engine Myvi/Alza la. The hybrid version has few more extra ponnies though.

Those 2 brands don't really have head to head products to compete in the same space with Toyota especially Ford. They only have the pickup and SUV cum expensive pickup. Hyundai again looked like a failed brand in Malaysia. Their early push on EV seems to sizzled out already after the Chinese EVs came in.

Itu Automachi now mentioned September/October launch pula. I think it's possible because was told by a Toyota SA today, the bigger CC face-lift end of year or Q1 2025. So, sort of properly spaced out between them.

Aruz basically eaten by Alza. Better just kill it off because Perodua production capacity already hit it's limit.

Isn't that a Malaysian number plate Yaris Cross? Unfortunately driven by an asshole. Maybe for commercial shooting?

Ativa is an A+ segment SUV. It was never marketed as B segment. JPJ suka suka put it into B segment.

Yeah, I mistaken it for a RA4. Maybe too excited.

Both Perodua and Toyota MY must have a super NDA letter signed by all their workers until nothing came out. Perodua especially never had a leak whatsoever.

Automachi *cakap* Yaris Cross has already gone through small scale production in Bukit Raja plant but has been further delayed together with the Vios Hybrid. Automachi like clickbait news but probably true on this one, for once.

Ada harapan nampaknya.

Toyota SA said CC face-lift end of November, Yaris Cross is next year already. It does look like YC will be assembled in own Bukit Raja factory rather than in Rawang. I suspect the volume will be too high for Perodua to cope. The Bukit Raja plant had high unused capacity.

The YC will undoubtfully eat into the CC's market albeit the CC is slightly bigger in size but if there's a gap of RM25-30K, why not? YC looks better too.
Hence, Sime will make sure the bigger brother with bigger price tag sells first.
