UMW Toyota has just announced that from September 1 onwards, three more of its models will be offered with additional accessories at no extra charge. These are the Toyota Corolla Altis, Innova and Alphard, joining the Vios and Hilux that received similar extras last June.
For a start, the Toyota Corolla Altis now comes standard with the aerokit package (as pictured above), as well as a 7.0-inch DVD-AVN touchscreen infotainment system. This applies to all three variants of the latest Altis. Previous, the aerokit was priced at RM2,438 for all variants, while the DVD-AVN went for RM3,121.70 for the 1.8E, and RM1,860.30 for the 1.8G and 2.0G.
The Toyota Innova 2.0G, meanwhile, gets the same DVD-AVN infotainment system, along with a ceiling-mounted 8.0-inch monitor for rear passengers at no extra cost. Before, the package adds on RM4,626.90 to the range-topping model’s price. A Toyota Premium & Security Film package and a portable tyre pump are also added to the 2.0G model (priced at RM1,992.80 and RM206.70 before).
Lastly, the Toyota Alphard gets a free TRD aerokit, complete with daytime running lights and door visors too. A 10.2-inch ceiling-mounted rear monitor is offered at no extra charge. Both these items are new additions to the local Alphard range.
Also announced is yet another round of spec update for the Toyota Vios. The DVD-AVN infotainment system, previously made standard on the 1.5 G and TRD Sportivo, is now added to the 1.5E variant as well. It’s a RM3,121.70 option on the base 1.5J models, which now get the navi-less 6.1-inch DVD-AVX system as standard (previously a RM1,982.20 extra).

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express disappointment over Toyota’s strategy of offering additional accessories like body kits and infotainment upgrades instead of essential safety features such as airbags and VSC, which are often retrofit by accessory shops or require significant CAPEX. Many users criticize UMW Toyota for neglecting safety enhancements, accusing them of prioritizing gimmicks over customer safety, and highlight that models like the Altis are outdated and overpriced. Several commenters compare Toyota's safety omission unfavorably with competitors like Honda, emphasizing that safety features should be standard. There's frustration that safety upgrades are only being offered as optional extras, causing concern about vehicle safety and long-term value, with many suggesting Toyota is losing its reputation and market share due to these issues.
