The Toyota Yaris Cross is getting closer to its official Malaysian market launch, as UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has announced that order books in the country are now open for the up-specced twin to the Perodua Traz. An estimated price list has also emerged, for two variants that will be sold in Malaysia. Estimated pricing for the line-up starts with the Yaris Cross 1.5S at RM99,900, joined by the Yaris Cross 1.5S Hybrid at RM109,900. Here, UMWT has also revealed that both variants of the Yaris Cross will receive a seven-inch TFT LCD display and digital LED speedometer, a 10.1-inch infotainment head unit that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 18-inch, two-tone alloy wheels of the same design, adaptive cruise control, adaptive high beam and interior illumination. The Yaris Cross Hybrid adds a wireless phone charger as standard, which can be optioned in the pure petrol Yaris Cross for RM380. Both variants can be optioned with the rear-facing digital video recorder for RM380. For exterior colour options, both petrol and hybrid variants get the same five choices; Dark Turquoise, Silver Metallic, Attitude Black, Spicy Scarlet SE, and Platinum Pearl White (a RM400 selection). This model first made its global debut in Indonesia in May 2023, and the twin to the Perodua Traz was sighted on Malaysian roads in February this year. The incoming Yaris Cross for Malaysia is the ASEAN-specific model, and it differs from the crossover for the European market which received its latest update earlier this month. While the exact powertrain specifications of the Yaris Cross for Malaysia have yet to be disclosed by UMWT, we know from details of the Yaris Cross in Indonesia that the petrol 1.5 litre version uses the 2NR-VE 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated inline-four petrol engine that makes 106 PS and 138 Nm, while the Hybrid uses the 2NR-VEX, Atkinson-cycle engine of the same displacement. CVT transmission is expected for both in Malaysia. Both variants of the Toyota Yaris Cross in Malaysia will be sold with a five-year, unlimited mileage warranty, and both are also available with optional service packages for three years/60,000 km at RM2,350, or for five years/100,000 km at RM3,650. The eight-year hybrid warranty on the Hybrid that covers the battery, inverter and power management ECU can be extended a further two years for RM2,500.
