Some photos of what is allegedly the 2015 Toyota Avanza facelift have surfaced on Indonesian motoring portal AutonetMagz.com, and… does that face bring to mind any other vehicle, by any chance? If you need a hint, see amazing from every angle.
Elements such as the slim headlamps connected by a big chrome bar that’s forked at both ends, trapezoidal grille below it and the side-lipped front bumper assure us that we’re not imagining the resemblance. But unlike that vehicle, this one wears its number plate below the grille.
Round the back, you’ll see another chrome bar that bridges what you’d think are L-shaped tail lamps, but in fact, the bits that eat into the tailgate are ornamental and don’t light up. Also, the white indicator/reverse lamp cluster has been moved up above the rear lamps.
According to AutonetMagz.com, the 2015 Toyota Avanza facelift is set to go official in a few weeks’ time. Stay tuned for the lowdown, then!
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This Toyota really thinks this design is so good. From Innova to Lexus prado and now avanza.
Do they offer this to other countries?
They only sell this to Malaysia and Indonesia where people are too scared to complain and file legal action.
This car is nothing but a death trap. So unstable, it looks and feels like the Perodua Kembara which is Malaysia’s No 1 car to terbalik.
In UK, Toyota is highly respected. But in Malaysia, Toyota now has become a laughing stock. If you buy one, people secretly laugh at you thinking you are the dumbest person in town cause the Toyota is heavily stripped of its safety features.
Malaysians already now know how Toyota has been cheating people. Until today, even RM150k Camry got no VSC and only 2 airbags. Paultan already wrote long article how vital VSC is 3 years ago and yet UMW don’t care a damn for our lives.
Global price of Camry with 10 airbags and VSC is US$22,000. Besides VSC and 10 airbags, the global Camry has about 20 other safety features that is NOT in our Camry. These features are standard and free on the global Camry.
UMW don’t care about your life. you die or vegetable, they don’t care, janji untung lebih. they take out safety features to save cost. Yet, they charge us 3x the global price of US$22k. We buy for RM180k a heavily stripped down car. Same with Altis. Same with Vios.
Worse still, it is CKD and Made in Malaysia. The price is even cheaper. If US Toyota is sold at US22k and still make a profit, you can bet that UMW will get this car at country distributor price of US15k. CKD it, it will be US$12k (about RM40k). But they sell to Malaysians for RM180k.
Camry Hybrid even better. US$26k. Come to Malaysia no tax. But sold for RM175k
Please look at your car registration card.
My Avanza RM77k, pay to Goverment around 40k. Toyota only get 37k.
So it’s Goverment earn a lot.
Malaysia Government protecting the AP system owners. Based on the current Malaysia taxes policy Rakyat need to feed the AP owners that had no benefits at all to current market and helping Rakyat.
UMW will gets new ideas to rip existing customers and potential customers.
Idiots always come here whine about US price lar, UK price lar, Australia price lar…
Tell you what, Toyota is cheapest in Japan. So?
In Malaysia, not only Toyota is expensive, Honda/Hyundai/Ford/Kia/Mazda/Mitsubishi etc are expensive also, and WHY they so expensive?
Blame your beloved government, cronies and their toy Proton!!!
Without ridiculous tax, you think I won’t want to sell you 86 at RM75k? I also buy car and drive!!!
Because of these stupid tax, I can only get a Lexus LS, else I can get a LFA.
No choice la. Proton is definitely is out of picture. Have to settle with Toyota & Perodua.
I thought that was a Honda City !!!??
Haiya!!!!!
Ayoyoyo.amma!!!
Ek eleh!!!!
So uglyyyyyyyyy
And the rest I dun need to sum it up. You can read it yourself. Dah la buruk SA ada hati lak nak compare dgn p1 that is more safe. Kakakaakakaka
when reach Malaysia, UMW will this time take out the safety belts to reap even more profits.
After all, when they take out VSC and airbags, people still buy.
Nvm… Sam Lorrr says he still can sell this crap 50 units a month
Of course I can, I bundle free bra and panties. For ex customers of mine, I throw in Triumph camisole free also.
Instead of Indon & MY, Avanza also offered in Africa and other Asian countries, includng Middle East market.
‘Be end’ ruined the country…..so sad…
Ugly has new name
In Europe and US, they cannot sell this junk. So, dump it to third world country like Malaysia.
Thank you UMW. Give us an unsafe car, somemore take out VSC and airbags to make it even more unsafe
The shape of the grille, headlamps and damn, even the chrome bar on top of the grille. Behold the ‘Solid Wing Face’ from Toyota…
Poor HR-V.
If Camry top of the range car also got no VSC, do you think this Avanza will have VSC??

Honda Shitty?
Already the Avanza is so tall and unstable. Imagine it without VSC? No wonder why so many Avanza tumble in Malaysia.
Wow … stupidity overload. Car height vs VSC?
Kalau dah ugly tu ugly jugak
Haha!
I can imagine in the briefing. The supervisor goes …. “masa troll kat paultan tu nanti… tulis je apa-apa pasal VSC …tak tau VSC takpe … janji tulis je VSC tu.”
Toyota Shitty?
omg its hideous!
Front – HR-V
Rear – Avanza + BMW rear light design
Cancel my hrv booking and go for avanza
hahaha as usual no vsc, dual airbags, rear drum break…etc, poorly design, whats wrong with toyota designer nowadays…
Did they facelift the live axle and leaf springs too?
Unlikely to have improved its passenger car safety ratings but
probably got 5 star LANCAP (light goods vehicle ANCAP).
Avanza score 5 star, not in LANCAP but LANCAU. New rating body for Toyota cars.
Don’t know about the safety test you mentioned.
The LANCAP test is widely available in Thailand where the Avanza is manufactured. This procedure is conducted in place of full on banging (crash test).
It ends happily for both tester and testee when the vehicle explodes.
dafuq did I just see??
UGLY IS INCLUDED AT NO EXTRA COST………
I will throw in 2 sets of bra and panties matching set if you place order with me now.
front copy honda jazz???
hahahahahhaha
can’t sell as good as Honda, facelift to look like Honda, win liao lor
Look damn ugly! Toyota designer is really out of juice….
Honda City…
Avanza has been 1 of the ugliest car ever built in the face of the earth and looks like its continuing its legacy of ugly……..
Even 60 years old auntie wouldn’t want to drive it….
Seriously,sack the designer plsssssssss.

Is quite easy to become a TOYOTA designer.
My Dream Car. By Dato Lee Chong Wee
I doubt this Avanza was designed by Indians. That front bumper is very similar to Toyota Etios which designed by Indians. Very much like Honda City on steriods, oh man, that grille is very much like Honda…
The next generation people mover for PPS (Penang Personal Stormtroopers)
Front looks like hrv. Back is as though the designers stuck the back of myvi first gen on top of latest honda city trunk….job well done. Moving ugly.
omg yucks, nut it will sell like goreng pisang
avanza , ugly has a new name
reminds me of new myvi 1.3 :D:D:D
the front is looking much better though.
the rear looks ugly here..
but i thnk once it launched, it will looking acceptable like what they did to the innova rear.
Stop frying cold rice

Rear tailights looks like old Nissan Serena plus a extra piece of light, Avanza never look good. Inova = yes, looked better
No problem after driving this “ugly” mpv for more than 200,000 km for the past 10 years and still fetching a good resale value. Still a practical people mover and good spare vehicle to have. Not complaining….A value for money vehicle.
I trade in my 7 year old avanza in 2013 for RM 30k with Livina + gift + goodies. Don’t have problem driving this vehicle at national speed limit.A very spartan vehicle.
Behold! 2015 Toyota Shitface!
the rear looks haram jadah..
i will be off this week , as i will go to a major corrective eye surgery duo to looking at new level of ugliness…
sudah la toyolta..u think with ur name u can be everyone..everything..
> ssangyong stavic 2013 (original) and very almost same front&end
> Livina 2014 (facelifted)
naah now who copied who..?
looks like crying Ultraman
This new Avanza comes with sunroof
I was in 1 Utama everyday. And I can how how pity the Toyota roadshow is….I see no other ppl beside their own sales persons…kesian….
HRV is a SUV….Avanza is a mini van. Ppl who do small business will still buy the avanza. I know many ladies use this van to ferry children to/from school. They are not bothered with vsc as the lesser electronics, the better because of cheaper maintenance. Ppl who drive avanza are also not interested in driving above 100kmh. Honda is more advance but maintenance cost just makes it beyond most ppl who are used to abundance & cheap Toyota parts.
Baik angkat Exora 4 airbags + ESC
can challenge honda freed and juara for ugliness ………………
As long as its not a kimchi, it will have RV
If its a KIA, start writing a will
what??? Ford Ecosport???? so ugly!!!
i love toyota cars and i lovenew designs and interior of this car
