T1 in 2026 — what's new

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the RM129,800 1.5T 2WD. Its 168 hp, front-wheel drive and wet dual-clutch automatic make it the lower-cost entry to the range. Pay RM146,800 for the 2.0T XWD if all-wheel drive matters and you want the stronger 241 hp engine; the RM17,000 gap buys 73 hp and AWD. There is no need to stretch purely for a different transmission, as both use a wet dual-clutch automatic.

Verdict

The T1 gives Malaysia two clearly separated petrol choices rather than a long trim walk. The 1.5T 2WD is priced close to the MG HS, Kia Sportage and Chery Tiggo 7, all of which start at about RM129,400 to RM129,900. The 2.0T XWD costs more, but it brings a 241 hp engine and all-wheel drive. Choose on drivetrain needs, not badge alone.
