Used Toyota Yaris for sale in Malaysia

The Toyota Yaris is a B-segment hatchback, aimed at buyers who want a small, straightforward daily car rather than a sedan or SUV. In Malaysia, the current line-up is the 1.5 E and 1.5 G, both using a CVT with 7-speed Sports Sequential Shift. The model has been through several NSP151 facelift updates, with the latest launched in 2023 and still on sale.

Used examples currently sit between RM51,800 and RM67,800, covering 2019 to 2023 cars with mileages from 20,456 km to 95,740 km. Three-year value retention is 72.7%, which suggests it holds its price reasonably well. It is also a common model, with 87,897 registrations since 2006 and strong annual numbers from 2019 onwards, so buyers should have a fair spread of cars to compare.

When shopping, pay attention to the year and facelift version, as equipment and pricing may differ between the 2019, 2020 and 2023 updates. Mileage varies widely, so compare condition against asking price rather than year alone.

The used Toyota Yaris market in Malaysia is almost entirely the NSP151 facelift hatchback, with 2019 to 2023 cars split mainly between E and G trims.

• NSP151 Facelift, 2019: choose this launch-year version when budget matters most, because it gives you the same basic B-segment hatchback format and 1.5-litre CVT layout as later cars.
• NSP151 Facelift 2, 2020: this is the sweet spot for buyers who want a newer car than the 2019 launch batch without paying for the current-shape 2023 update.
• NSP151 Facelift 3, 2023: pick this if you want the latest version that remains on sale new, with the used market still showing low-mileage examples from this generation.
• 1.5 E and 1.5 G: the E is the sensible mid-spec buy, but the G is the better-equipped and more common used choice, with 10 cars in stock against seven E units.
• Bottom-line pick: a 2020-on 1.5 G is the best Yaris for most buyers, because it combines the facelift-era NSP151 package, the stronger used supply and the higher trim level.

The Malaysian Toyota Yaris is an NSP151 B-segment hatchback with a 1.5-litre engine and CVT, so a used-car inspection should cover service proof, body condition, mileage consistency and variant-specific equipment.

• Service history Check for a complete service record, then match engine oil, CVT fluid and brake-fluid entries with the odometer reading, service stickers and workshop invoices.
• CVT behaviour Test the car from cold and during stop-start driving, as some owners report low-speed judder, hesitation or whining from the CVT when maintenance has been poor.
• Suspension noise Drive over rough roads and speed bumps, as some used Yaris units develop front suspension knocks, worn bushes or loose cabin trim rattles with age and mileage.
• Accident or flood damage Inspect the boot floor, spare-wheel well, door seals, seat rails, headlamp mounts and engine-bay seams for water marks, corrosion, overspray or uneven panel gaps.
• Mileage verification Compare the odometer with tyre age, pedal wear, steering-wheel shine, seat bolster wear and inspection records, especially because used examples on sale span 2019 to 2023 with varied mileage.
• Trim authenticity Confirm whether the car is a J, E or G variant by checking the original equipment, infotainment unit, safety kit, wheels and badges against the registration card and Toyota variant specification.

The Toyota Yaris follows Toyota’s scheduled maintenance plan, and its 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine with CVT keeps routine servicing in the low-to-moderate cost range for a B-segment hatchback. Fuel consumption is generally light in mixed urban use, with the powertrain tuned more for efficiency than performance.

Insurance sits in the mainstream band for a 1.5-litre hatchback, with no premium-brand loading. Parts availability is strong through Toyota dealers, independent workshops and aftermarket suppliers, supported by 87,897 Malaysian registrations since 2006.
