Yaris Cross in 2026 — what's new
The Toyota Yaris Cross is new for Malaysia in 2026, with the range split between the 1.5S petrol and 1.5S Hybrid. Early demand is strong, with 2,298 bookings taken within two weeks of launch. The local car is closely related to the Perodua Traz, but sits higher in price and spec, and adds a hybrid choice to the line-up.

Which variant to buy
Pick the 1.5S at RM99,900 if you want the lower entry price and are happy with the 1,496 cc naturally aspirated petrol engine, 105 hp output and CVT automatic. The 1.5S Hybrid costs RM109,900, so the RM10,000 gap buys you the petrol-hybrid drivetrain and eCVT. On paper, both are five-seat B-segment SUVs with the same engine capacity, so the decision is mainly normal petrol versus hybrid.

Verdict
The Yaris Cross gives Toyota a direct B-segment SUV below the Corolla Cross, with the useful twist of a hybrid option. But it is not the cheap route into this footprint: the Perodua Traz starts at RM76,100, while the Yaris Cross starts at RM99,900. If the Toyota badge, higher spec positioning and hybrid variant matter, it makes sense. If price leads the decision, the Traz is much cheaper.
