More details of the Malaysian-spec 2014 Toyota Yaris have been released by UMW Toyota. Well actually, they aren’t details per se, rather so-called “highlighted key selling points” of the upcoming RM101,700 hatchback model. No matter then, let’s just see what’s coming our way soon.
As we already know, there will only be one variant – the Yaris 1.5G A/T. That means it’ll get the same 109 PS/141Nm 1.5 litre VVT-i engine and four-speed automatic gearbox that’s in the latest Vios it’s based on. You’re familiar with this story folks – “proven reliability and durability” is key here.

According to UMW Toyota, key to its appeal are its exterior (dynamic and sporty design, with five colour options) and interior (high quality design). Here, luggage capacity is up from 228 to 309 litres (VDA) and, like in the equivalent Vios 1.5G, Smart Entry and push start button will be standard.
Superior handling and ride comfort is claimed, with improved body rigidity and reduced weight compared to its predecessor from 2006 (not the third-gen JDM Vitz or Euro-market Yaris). The new Yaris is also said to feature class-leading aerodynamic properties, giving enhanced stability, comfort and fuel economy. Front and rear disc brakes, dual airbags and ISOFIX anchors cover the safety front.

Terima kasih, Be-end! Terima kasih, UMW for this overpriced junk again!
This maybe overpriced but definitely not junk! Similar to iPhones, with such tiny screen, it is overpriced too, but not junk.
The Yaris beat the kimchi and American car with its reliability easily.
Want to look for a junk? Go Proton showroom and experience their 4S concept (Sendiri Cakap, Sendiri Syok, Sentiasa Rosak, Sales Carnival)
hello….jangan nak berangan… itu ford fiesta, mazda2, kia rio punya safety lg baguih, punya design lagi cantik, handling lg baguih tp murah… ini tamak namanya…..mampoi lu toyotanjing
Pretty or not, it is subjective. People like you would think the Satria Neo the ultimately sexiest car, because you couldn’t afford something more expensive YET. I said YET. That’s why you so annoyed when I mention the famous 4S concept, sad but true.
But when you can afford foreign car, you will pui the J class Proton and join the majority.
Remember the 1st Generation Yaris launch in Malaysia? No doubt is good car or spec at those time, toyota salesman them self admit they can sell. That why we can see few unit on the road. If this Yaris going to sell at this price… might well go get Prius C..
So you can know his financial status by just reading his comment. You should stop commenting here and go work for some financial institutions. They need your skill!
Seriously! with those spec and price?..crazy umw
Kesian, sekarang Toyata compare dgn Proton. That mean they are in same league no?
Well said bro, I LOL when I read your comment.
Wrong example by comparing Toyota and Proton.
Still using VVT-i, if not a junk than what ah? 102k for a 1.5…please check out the price in other part of the world. this maybe selling around 60k maybe slightly more expensive than a Vios. even 60k is still too much…sorry lah we are not here to ask for a fight or what. we just want to voice out our car price is ridicule to imagine….if you ask me how much is this worth I would say max 50k. if you say by selling high to improve our country financial stand then I agree…every damn things price HIGH yet Malaysia Pok Kai 1! Life is tough in Malaysia, with some enjoying their life at the Rakyat expenses! Currency drop…price of food up, house price up, salary never up at the pace of price inflated. Now selling a normal car at a price of a premium car in Europe due to our own manufacturing players incompatibilities! We live in a screw country with a screwed leader in all sectors!
It really not a junk but not worth for money. Only sohai will buy it.
you are right. in malaysia it still sell at RM60K ++ only. that was the price from UMW Toyota (and earn by UMW) and the RM100K++ was the price from gov (Tax). so no suprise…
A Toyota salesman of course will say Toyota’s products are the best. But do you have to be a jerk while doing so?
So, Toyota’s ‘proven reliability and durability’ means equipping it with decades-old hardware and dual airbags only and still no ESC? Just say you want to earn a big profit, UMW. I am sure your diehard fans will understand.
This car defines the true meaning of 4S.
Sangat hodoh,
Sangat mahai,
Super old tech,
Sohai Car for Sohai buyer
If want super value go to buy Persona SV lol.4 disc brake with 2 airbag and ABS,EBD.Just 50k.When U think Toyota is most expansive car with roti kosong spec but chicken chop price,How about the people buy Mini cooper?
This car will kill all kimchi, that will make my boss Sam loo make another few million.
Yeah, your boss earns millions (which i highly doubt he will) while you stuck being his coolie. Seems like a good working relationship there.
Joke of the century with this kind of price and spec.
Welcome bebeh….. By the way, spell it right ok? Like DAP, not DAPig.
Why overprised?The parent company of UMW needs tons of cash to pay dividends annually,ma…..Who are they fleecing?You should know who the purchasers are.
Ai ya..you dont know meh.. TRD in malaysia stands for Toyota Revenue Development
No, it stand for Toyota Racing Dugong
Just an overpriced piece of s*it
Yeah, what an ugly rubbish junk again from Toyoduck, better stay away and wait for global car Proton GCS for more value.
How on earth we’re willing to assume this cheap hatchback as near luxury and deserve beyond RM100k mark?
Superior ride handling and comfort? The second gen Yaris on which this is based on was the worst B segment car I have been in. The ride was poor, the handling didn’t seem good, … Superior to what? Myvi? How could this thing have a better interior than a 208? Better ride and handling than a Fiesta?)
keep dreaming umw. u have 208,fiesta and i even consider kia rio above u.
Better than Vios!
I beg for everyone DO NOT buy this car, it’s freaking overpriced and UMW needs to be punished for their arrogance.
“key to its appeal are its exterior (dynamic and sporty design, with five colour options) and interior (high quality design)”
Both will have its opinions differ from one individual to another and I’am not liking on both, I’am sure a majority of the opinions are the same. My real humble opinion on the looks, if they brought in the JDM vitz, I will agree that it had a dynamic and sporty design. This has neither and looks waaaay too generic and uncle-ish, there’s even a Zhu Geliang/ancient-Chinese mustache in the front!
No, UMW, just no. It does however, succeed in making the Vios look more reasonable. A strategic marketing decision to counter the new city introduction, I am not sure, but desperate time calls for desperate measure. The new jazz is also due for its local introduction this year, and judging from the new city, I’am sure the spec would shadow this easily.
Best in class??? What class? Perodua class? what a joke !! Only thing best is best way to burn your money on a piece of overpriced crap!!!
by class leading, umw means: we have set the price to the highest in it’s class. so it’s gotta mean something right? what a joke (B class hatchback car), umw can go fly kite together with BN la… zzz…
The best in ‘four-speed automatic-‘ class possibly? ;)
If it was priced below 100K just like the 1st time it was introduced a few years back, just maybe it can sell.
But I doubt it will sell. Other brands are way better than this car can offer at a lower price.
price mmg jilaka..
Priced it around the same as new City grade V (Rm90k) and bundle with ABS+VSC+6 Airbags then can consider buying. Without the mentioned features and still priced at more than Rm100K only show UMW as hopeless and arrogant.
No VSC again?
Uselesss and Hopeless UMW…….
“sikap rakyat sebab harga kereta mahal”
Still an over-priced piece of crap
This kind of pricing makes the Suzuki Swift looked like the bargain of the century
Yup, the swift sport though the gearing is kinda tall compared to the previous model.
so for rm100k u get toyota logo n.. that antenna! rejoice umw fan!
better buy jazz
You can’t buy the Jazz in Malaysia now because the latest version Jazz is overwhelmingly good, just check it’s performance and FC, they are mind boggling.
can someone tell me what car is not way over priced in boleh land and is worth to buy?
maybe got, is ‘bicycar’
100k for this B-segment 1.5L car? Great, UMW should sell tons of it.
Why so cheap?
Should be priced at 1.01 million RM.
Best in the class maa.
It that a joke to delight the whole Malaysian?? It is still another few days before April fool leh!!
This Yaris is a good car to draw attention for public if you own one. Every boys and gals, aunty and uncle look at you and say “what a stupid tai lang gung to buy this shit car!!”
What a fancy RM101k coffin on wheels!
Great, this is the car to buy if you don’t know anything about car or about anything at all.
Instead getting this Toyota the junk car better buy new Honda City(highest specs, Fiesta Eco or Suzuki Swift or Swift Sport
I hope no one in Malaysia buy this
Disappointed with the pricing strategy. Thought the close competitor of new Honda Jazz!
Lebih baik tunggu NISSAN NOTE bulan MEI 2014…harga bawah RM80k…Aku tunggu Mu…
101k for a hatchback with just 2 airbags and no vsc kind of things?city full spec 90k smoke this away easily
As i mentioned earlier, this small car has same engine and dinosour era transmission. How can they sell it at 6 figure price?
Dinosaur is very mahal maa.. that why umw put 6 figure price in this junk maa
This kind of pricing spec combo could only happen in bolehland.
Why am i not buying Cerato instead of this piece of crap again?
As ugly and overpriced this maybe, I would choose this car over all the Korean junks in the market
Brand: Toyota wins hand down
Safety: Out of this world body structure, Toyota wins
Comfort: Toyota wins
Engine: Toyota wins
Gearbox: Toyota wins
Exterior looks: Toyota wins
Of course it wins since you were comparing to Tata Nano.
Wow.. You sir.. You have opened my eyes. You are amazing!
Behold, the best of its class Toyota Yaris! who need VSA, airbags when u drive a car with out of this world body structure (alien tech?)
The reliable, prehistoric 4 speeder 1.5l engine.
And the best part is, the price of this amazing car is ONLY Rm101k! This is just too good to be true!
Zzzzzzzzz…
Malaysian prefer Toyota Auris with MYR101K not Yaris.
OMG!!! 1.5cc for 100k…
2 airbags
4-speed auto (outdated)
stupid if you buy this car :)
Another product born after the latest NAP which can be classified as an EEV. Extremely Expensive Vehicle.
no VSA no side airbags and they dare to put 100k price tag..only bloody fools will buy this piece of crap
ewww… whats wrong with the front design, MOUTHACHE?
110k is a steal ! … provided is Lexus brand la
Yes…only thing is UMW is stealing from the sohai buyer!
you mean best in Tata and Mahindra’s class right?
Really ENJOY Malaysian Teh Tarik Style Comments…Very walau-able reference for potential car buyers.
The new upcoming Jazz will definitely out sell this piece of overprice hatch Vios.. maybe to a ratio of 90%-10%… Even if they price it 80k i doubt there will b a huge number of buyer…
Strangely enough som1 will end up buying this car…
…sure they will.
Insides sales, heavily discounted for UMW staff.
Watch Honda wipe Toyota again for a Hat trick.
The new Jazz is suppose to come fully loaded variants in 85-90k price bracket.
First it was the Estima Vs. Honda Odyssey. Then the Camry Vs. Accord. The Vios and City was closer but City still wins.
The new Jazz will eat the Yaris for breakfast,lunch and dinner.
UMW never learns or there are still to many suckers.
LOL a Honda jazz is RM26k cheaper then this deathbox. And the Jazz features VSC. The Jazz only lacks auto-aircon and smart entry/push start. Which is not a significant lost.
i”d rather buy full spec proton suprima s than this junk
my shitty Yellow Myvi(Lagi Power, Lagi Mampus!) also better than this overpriced crap!
i think price in langkawi should be the most suitable OTR price for every car in malaysia…gov can earn more income from various source of duty instead of torturing rakyat with absurd OTR price of car at this moment
If anyone buys this “shortened Vios”,one ends up paying Rm1k plus a month for the first 36 months just on taxes alone heaped on this car,apart from the hire purchase monthly instalments .
How good or wicked the tax master,you judge for yourself.If taxes are utilised efficiently,we don”t mind,but not letting someone orders a rm 3,000 pair of binoculars or RM 5 million unwanted firefighting equipment.
Don’t blame taxes. Jazz, Fiesta and pug 208 are a good 20-30k cheaper while all having better spec.
UMW is the real thief here.
I bet the people at Honda are laughing their butts off thanks to Toyota giving them all the sales for the Jazz!
Oh come on, disc brakes? 102k for such crap?!
Haiz… another no innovative Toyota product.
Now it’s easy to spot stupid people. If someone buy this car we instantly know the level of IQ
Crazy UMW. Cerato is worth buying than this piece of junk.
Once again guys, pls spread the word how much that we new generation Malaysians are not stupid like older uncles. We no longer buy by logo.
Stop feeding the 3 crony trolls here.
1.5 ANCIENT 4 gears with that price,no vsc, and 2 airbags is again a clear act of cheat.
Umw will never learn. Just boycott their offerings and educate others please. When the buying stops, the cheating will too.
We have already given warning to those crony salesman here. But if they insist they wanna stick to umw and be cronies, up to them. Just ignore. Sales already shown umw is going way down.
Let’s see next months MAA sales statistic when city already selling like hot cake. This is another example Toyota is going down,in Taiwan, Thailand, and now malaysia!
stop bashing UMWT.
Look at the price in Langkawi/Labuan.
That’s how much it should be sell.
This is just a mind game by UMW to make Vios much desirable.
*nampak tak permainan dia.
with that kind of price and that kind of spec that is pure bullcrap.. might as well get the prius c I guess.. got 7 airbags, vsc and evrything even save more fuel somemore. UMW should really learn their lesson from the last version of yaris and learn abt specs from Kia..
looking for toyota yaris.
px circa 30k yrmake 2006.
