Verdict
These two 12-seat V80 window vans are mechanically and functionally identical on paper: each uses a 136 hp/330 Nm 2.5-litre turbodiesel, five-speed manual and front-wheel drive, with 12 three-point seat belts, two airbags, ABS/EBD and four rear parking sensors. The Bas Pesiaran costs RM133,623, while the Bas Pekerja is RM135,532, creating a RM1,909 gap with no listed equipment, safety or mechanical gain. For a Malaysian operator, take the cheaper Bas Pesiaran and confirm any trim-specific items with the dealer before signing.
Pick the Maxus V80 2.5L Bas Pesiaran Window Van 12 Seater if you want the same 12-seat diesel manual van specification for RM1,909 less.
Pick the Maxus V80 2.5L Bas Pekerja Window Van 12 Seater if its intended worker-transport role suits your operation and the dealer confirms trim-specific equipment not shown in the specifications.
