V80 in 2026 — what's new

The Maxus V80 carries into 2026 unchanged, with no 2026-specific update announced. The range continues with the 2.5-litre 136 hp diesel, front-wheel drive and manual gearbox across a two-seat High Roof Panel Van LWB and several window-van, tour-bus, worker-bus and school-bus applications. Its latest reported local adaptation is a negative-pressure ambulance conversion for transporting Covid-19 patients in 2021.

Which variant to buy

Start with the job, not the badge. The RM102,076 2.5L High Roof Panel Van LWB is the clear choice for two-seat cargo work. Passenger operators enter with the RM131,902 2.5L Window Van 12 Seater. The Bas Pesiaran 12 Seater costs RM133,623, Bas Pekerja 12 Seater RM135,532 and Window Van 15 Seater RM135,791. Above them sit the RM137,522 Bas Pesiaran 15 Seater, RM139,364 Bas Sekolah 15 Seater and RM139,422 Bas Pekerja 15 Seater. Pay more only when the seating layout or stated operating role suits the job.

Verdict

The V80 is a long-serving commercial proposition with a straightforward formula: 2.5-litre diesel power, 136 hp, front-wheel drive and a manual gearbox. Its broad range covers cargo and passenger duties, but price needs scrutiny. The panel van sits above the RM79,800 Nissan NV200, while every passenger V80 costs more than the RM123,000 Toyota Hiace. Choose it for the specific body and seating configuration required, rather than expecting a price advantage.
