Both the 1.5G and 1.5E variants here are offered with a RM7,500 cash rebate.

Meanwhile if you’ve been holding off on a new Hilux pick-up truck, perhaps cash rebates might be some added persuasion. the Double Cab 2.8G (AT) 4X4 gets a RM2,000 rebate, the Double Cab 2.4G (AT) 4X4 gets a RM4,000 rebate, while the Double Cab 2.4 (MT) 2X4 and 2.4G (MT) 4X4 each get a RM2,000 rebate.
Toyota apparently considers the range-topping Camry Hybrid to be sufficiently well-equipped, therefore it gets an RM8,000 rebate sans additional accessories. The Avanza, meanwhile, gets a RM1,500 rebate across its 1.5S (AT), 1.5G (AT), 1.5E (AT), and 1.3E (MT) variants.
Last but not least is the Innova MPV, which in 2.0G (AT) guise receives the DVD-audio video navigation infotainment system with reverse camera, Toyota Premium security and solar window film, roof-mounted monitor, and a portable tyre pump; this variant does not include a cash rebate as part of the deal.
The 2.0E (AT) Innova, meanwhile, gets a RM4,000 rebate, plus the DVD-audio video navigation infotainment system with reverse camera. Finally, the 2.0E (MT) variant gets a RM6,000 rebate, plus the DVD-audio video navigation infotainment system with reverse camera.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments indicate a skeptical view of Toyota's August offers, with many feeling the RM8k rebates are minimal and part of a stock clearance strategy for older models like the Vios, which is soon due for a facelift with upgraded features. Several critics believe the market is saturated, with complaints that Toyota's sales are underperforming against Honda and Proton. Many comments express dissatisfaction with Toyota's safety features and pricing, citing inflated costs compared to global standards. Others suggest that economic downturns and market conditions are impacting sales, prompting aggressive discounts and clearance sales. There’s a mix of humor, criticism, and skepticism about the authenticity of promotions, with some stating that discounts are a sign of declining sales and the need to clear old stock rather than genuine promotional efforts.
