UPDATE: The Toyota Veloz has been launched in Malaysia.
UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) will launch the Toyota Veloz tomorrow on October 18, 2022, the company confirmed on its official website as well as social media pages. The seven-seat MPV, which replaces the Avanza and has a close twin in the form of the Perodua Alza, has been open for booking since June 24 this year.
As of September 8, UMWT says 5,200 bookings have been collected for the MPV, which currently has an estimated price of RM95,000. Included in the price is a five-year, unlimited-mileage warranty, and buyers will have five colour options to choose from, including Red Metallic, Metallic Bluish Black (still a cute name), White and two more with a black roof – Blue Metallic and Silver Metallic.
Based on what UMWT has revealed so far, available equipment for the Veloz include Toyota’s Pre-Collision System (autonomous emergency braking), Adaptive Cruise Control, a 9-inch Display Audio head unit with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support, a Vehicle Telematics System, LED headlamps, roof rails, an electronic parking brake (with auto brake hold), a seven-inch multi-info display, a wireless charging pad and USB charging ports.
Images of the MPV also suggest 17-inch alloy wheels and single-zone automatic air-conditioning. The Veloz is expected to feature the same 1.5L Dual VVT-i engine and D-CVT gearbox as the Alza, with the engine making 106 PS (105 hp) and 138 Nm of torque in the Perodua model. If you want a more detailed look at the differences between both Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA)-based MPVs, we have a dedicated post explaining them.
The launch of the Veloz takes place tomorrow (October 18, 2022) at 8pm, and you can tune in by heading to UMWT’s official Facebook or YouTube pages. What do you think the final retail price will be?

The reason why Toyota Veloz will be a Game Changer is because Malaysians trust Japanese quality. Moreover, this MPV has stunning design and high RV. Both the Pepodua Alza and this Veloz will stop Proton Exora sales completely
Jangan takut. X90 will kill Innova/Fortuner
But people would still love to buy Exora, not only just loving on Alza and Veloz. Three cars are good!!
Yet Veloz’s screen much bigger than T Harrier LOL. Smaller = Premium?
“Japanese quality”? LOOOLLL.. Hey man, do a quick check before you post something stupid.. this Veloz or even the previous Avanza is not sold in Japan.. in fact, it is mainly manufactured to cater SEA market, especially Indonesian market. You know it’s for JDM when the design is boxy, iceboxy but like this? Naahh, u just sedap hati sendiri saja hahaha
Do u know there is a bigggg problem for the Alza interior design? There is no cup holder or compartment near the gear stick, I had to put my hand phone between my tights during test dive…haaa
Use the side-pocket near the knee room
U should do compartment tests next time
Knee room for keeping phone?
Obviously it is for cost saving purposes from P2…I notice Veloz does have the compartment next to gear stick
later get veloz trim part to replace for alza, there u got cup holder in the middle.
I rather spend to buy veloz that have everything as completely new rather than buying alza with buying those accessories from shopee but don’t know but questionable on long lasting
Toyota cars got high RV. so no problem
Yes U’re right
But Honda RV better
Toyota Vios can discount 7-8K
More U ask, More U’ll get
While honda qc is damn terrible and lacking to get spare parts
Lots of parts available with halfcut coming in. One of biggest halfcut parts in Malaysia, Honda. Toyota got halfcut for Camry/Altis/Vios? Very few. High RV? who want to buy 2 airbags with no VSC on older vios/camry/altis?
Halfcut parts is not so related to new spare parts. And why still talking about 2 airbags and no VSC. Your comment is already outdated
VelOZ cross.
The 1st Toyota below RM100k that comes with Bed Lounge Fold flat seats.
Veloz come, Toyota everything better than Perodua, byebye to Alza copycat
It is worth to pay 15-18k more for a Toyota badge? Specs is almost the same as Alza. I also experience Perodua service is not anyway cheaper than Toyota too. Its the same as Rush and Aruz. To Toyota is a win win. I will take my chance with Alza. Save the money to invest with Maybank share. Get dividen pay off road tax and insurance.
I hope Perodua will badge the Vellfire! Sell it cheaper than recon.
Because you never study specs what are difference between Veloz and Alza. Veloz is more premium, space is a bit wider, come with ambient lighting and wireless connectivity and charging than Alza have
Yaris G-spec. Toyota salesman detected
What are you talking about honda dude. Am I talking about yaris or veloz. This veloz is also not like yaris spec.
Off topic
Wow,20 grand difference to get ambience.
It is just like one dude who is willing to pay a premium to get his special Starbucks .
Or like EV owners saying they save 45% on fuel per km over a similar spec ICE.
Except over 100,000km they save RM7,500 in fuel *but* paid RM50,000 or even more for their car.
all those can be installed by shopee motorsport at much cheaper cost
I rather spend to buy veloz that have everything as completely new rather than buying alza with buying those accessories from shopee but don’t know but questionable on long lasting
This is why u stay in Perodua bracket whereby everyone upgrading their lifestyle
So upgrading lifestyle is something important ya? Need to buy better brand ya? So, let’s say that I can afford Veloz but there are a lot of features that I don’t require. Then I found out that Alza variant H tick most of the requirement I need and it’s almost 30% cheaper. I would say this is a no brainer and the rest is history.
Rm20k gap man, alza h spec enough dy. And perodua got more service center branches.
Additional 20k for the badge?
It is not only the badge, it is about specs and space
Alza’s 50K+ bookings
vs Veloz’s 5K bookings
Both from same P2 factory
Both based on Daihatsu Xenia
Malaysia consumers aint stupid
The only reason why Veloz is introduced
is to block the sales of Xpander & new.BRV
U’re wrong. In biz, U always try to sell more of the products with higher margin. If Veloz 95K pricing is accepted by Malaysians, selling even more than Alza, Toyota group will focus more on selling more expensive range. But if Alza that 20K cheaper doing much better than Veloz, Toyota group still gain as much with the astounding volume
Agree
Aiyahyah..just paste the Toyota logo in front,spray the Velox color scheme,tint the mpv kaw kaw dark,who bothers to differentiate an Alza from Velox?
We r not talking about Rolls Royce and Accord hefty and visible difference.
People will buy veloz but full spec that don’t need to buy accessories from shopee when buying alza
20K for those extra specs still not worth it. 20K can do more than those specs.
Finally
Dont understand the logic. Both P2 and Toyota are under UMW. Same car but just 2 different badges. Why need to cannibal your own products?? P2 eat in Toyota market. Anyway M’sia now only good at selling rebadged cars and proudly claimed “national” car… look at P1 now.
drive this balik kampung, neighbour will say your alza mod very nice
New model this Toyota Hiace super
Plentong
My only complaint is why no turbo? MPV is suppose to be big and neec to carry more people. But engine only 1.5L cc. It need more power for better driving experience. At least Exora got turbo. But Exora is already outdated and have other issues. Why other new MPV model dont want to put turbo? If this veloz got turbo, sure hot selling, can tapau expander and new alza.
