Hoping for Nexus to show up in Malaysia soon!

Show up soon ? In one of Naz video, he mentioned that Perodua had registered the name as it's copyright almost a year ago already. Sampai hari ini habuk pun takde.

Surely they must be fighting over the Yaris Cross on who gets which design.

I think that the Yaris Cross in video looks just nice, unlike other Yaris Cross that has been launched overseas. How come Cambodians got nicer taste than Australians or Brits ? Would you buy the Yaris Cross if it came NA, no turbo, AT & with a largest battery size it can accommodate ?

I drive balik kampung from Penang to Terengganu, drive within 80-100km/h with hilly terrain sumore, can go 500km with one full tank. But for city driving with lots traffic lights and jam, one tank can go about 400km.

As Jeremy Clarkson said, its all about how we drive. If kaki tekan fc always bad one la.

That's good fc
Yea la all depends the way we drive

Like u said , its been a year already since we heard of the Nexis intro. Last I read was on some scandle at Toyota itself. I'll wait & let them sort it out.

My preference is 4cyl NA. Yaris cross with 1.5 NA is exactly what I want. As the Nexis is a rebadged Yaris Cross is perfect,especially as it would be RM20k cheaper ( only an estimate)!

Tks for your feedback. I really value owner feedback as you are already using the car. Pls don't stop,keep it coming as my attention is more on this car now.
I do agree 1liter engine with that size body needs turbo. 1liter NA on this car will be like lembu kereta....hahaha! For me this will be my town run around. So no need to worry about 110speed. I hpoe the cabin plastics don't break easy! Are these expensive to replace. I won't go to SC for replacement, may be can find after market spares!

As u says bro Turbo for city drive might be be necessary for u, but ones in a blue moon if going to G.Hiland /C.Hiland might needs the kick in.
For plastic parts ...m mmm all I could says is not the kind easy break but also is not kinda high quality, just 50/50%. Wait for 1-2yrs will have more OEM parts. Totally agree with u bro SC selling dam expensive for those plastic items.

Also now days mostly all cars with smart lock/alarms/keys/remote... The battery wow wow $3000-400+, if u lucky to use 24months is considered lucky.

Agreed man, simple 4cyl NA is what the rakyat wants. Look at the sales figures of other models with 4cyl NA, they are at a high compared with CVTs.

I think Toyota has found the secret recipe with Cambodia's Yaris Cross on its looks and now they just have to put inside the Yaris Cross, what the market actually wants. When that is done, it will kill the market one for sure. They already have the goose that lays the golden egg but will they kill the goose to harvest all the eggs at once ? Time will tell.

As modern vehicles demands for higher power, it will require a battery with higher capacity and that involves costs correct ? How is it possible to for modern vehicles that's laden with so many sensors and electronics to use a cheaper lower capacity battery ? IMHO, if unwilling to buy expensive batteries, better to buy old vehicles. If want to buy modern vehicles but still want to use cheap low capacity batteries, then buy new vehicle more often. Either way it's either change batteries or change vehicles. Change vehicles is definately a cheaper option, since batteries are expensive.

Using battery for 2 years isn't considered lucky la, what I would consider lucky is finding a vehicle with an efficient electrical charging system. This does not apply to new vehicles that are under my care since it's out from the showroom.

After 1&1/2 year wait, i had enough of the Nexus. 2 weeks ago booked the new X50. Great performance & size. Completely sold on the digital displays.
I had a good discussion about the Nexus on FB. Concluded with the influx of the many chinese cars, Nexus may not come to Malaysia. Its going to be overpriced with outdated interior. Chinese models are changing this dynamic! The instrument displays are so very advanced.

With the exception of the steering wheel, I actually prefer the toyota interior. Absolutely dislike the handphone display of the new x50.

Exactly, looks very outdated. 1st look at the X50 interior, I dropped the idea of Nexus. Now actually glad the Nexus is delayed, cos I would have booked that & missed this new X50!

Toyota has captured the market on reliability. Ppl will close eyes to buy Toyota for reliability. They are not bothered to compete on any aspect, their cars will always sell.
