KUALA LUMPUR: UMW Toyota Motor Sdn Bhd unveiled the second generation Toyota Avanza seven seater MPV on Wednesday and expects to sell 8,800 units in 2012.
The new Avanza comes in four variations with the 1.3 litre manual transmission model priced at RM64,590 on-the-road and the 1.5 litre sporty version at RM79,590 (OTR)
UMW Toyota deputy chaiman Takashi Hibi said: "Back in 2005, the Avanza commanded 60% of the market share of affordable MPV's and sold about 30,000 units a year. Since then however, taxes have risen sharply and there are more competitors in the market."
Since it was first launched in 2005, UMW has sold over 140,000 Avanzas in Malaysia and was the best-selling non-national car from 2005 to 2007.
