The locally assembled (CKD) Toyota Veloz is a step up from the Toyota Avanza in the Malaysian B-segment MPV market which has sold over 178,000 units since it was introduced locally in 2004, promising a more comfortable drive with the new front-wheel drive (FWD) platform and suspension for superior handling even on rugged terrains or with multiple passengers.

The All-New Toyota Veloz is powered by a highly efficient 1.5L engine (2NR-VE) with 7-speed CVT sequential shifting providing efficient power transmission for smooth and powerful acceleration. The driving performance of the Toyota Veloz makes each journey an easy and exhilarating ride while bringing happiness with its excellent fuel efficiency.

Future-proofing is the name of the game with the premium 7-seater crossover featuring a “Qi” charging pad. This ensures that as wireless charging technology becomes more popular, the Toyota Veloz is equipped with the required technology to enable drivers and passengers to seamlessly remain connected especially on long road trips, further adding to the value and joy of owning a Toyota Veloz. In addition, the Toyota Veloz also comes with the new nine-inch Display Audio touchscreen that supports wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, enhancing the overall driving experience with seamless connectivity.
