The facelifted Toyota Avanza should be in the showrooms soon enough – the UMW Toyota website already teases that it’s “coming soon,” with pricing and all, which we ran a story on earlier in the week.
Now, the brochure on the seven-seater is out; reader Ray picked up a copy in a Penang showroom and has duly scanned the front overview and specs list, offering a view of the MPV with the . Nothing much that our previous story hasn’t covered, but here’s the recap.

Four versions will be available, three 103 PS 1.5 litre auto variants (the S, G and E) and a single 91 PS 1.3 litre manual E grade version. The top-of-the-line S gets a “sports” front/rear bumpers and side skirts as well as a unique radiator grille, and all the 1.5 litre models feature a 2-DIN, six-speaker audio system, while the 1.3 has a four-speaker, single-DIN one.
There’s ABS and EBD on the S and G versions, which also get dual front airbags – the 1.5 E makes do with one (driver’s), while the 1.3 E has none. Pricing, as mentioned in our earlier piece, start from RM63,864 for the 1.3E right up to the RM78,864 for the range-topping 1.5 S.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments on the blog post about the Toyota Avanza facelift express mixed opinions on its design, with some finding it unattractive and others noting it looks similar to a Honda Myvi or resembles an alien. Many critics point out the outdated engine and transmission, with frequent complaints about the 4-speed automatic and the lack of modern features like airbags, ABS, and CVT transmission, especially in lower trim models. Some argue that despite the shortcomings, the car will sell well because of the Toyota badge, but many feel the car is overpriced and lackluster, reflecting frustration with perceived low value for money. There is also discussion about the model being an all-new version or merely a facelift, with concerns about safety rules such as mandatory airbags. Overall, the sentiments lean toward disappointment and skepticism about the vehicle's quality and future competitiveness.
