Verdict
The RM1,721 step from RM131,902 to RM133,623 buys no listed mechanical, safety or comfort upgrade. Both V80s carry 12 people, use the same 136 hp/330 Nm 2.5-litre turbodiesel and five-speed manual, and return a rated 9.1 L/100 km. They also share two airbags, ABS/EBD, rear parking sensors and rear air-con vents with blower control. For a Malaysian operator, the Window Van is the rational buy: on paper, the Bas Pesiaran badge costs more without adding kit or capability.
Pick the Maxus V80 2.5L Window Van 12 Seater if you want the same 12-seat diesel van specification for RM1,721 less.
Pick the Maxus V80 2.5L Bas Pesiaran Window Van 12 Seater if its specific Bas Pesiaran classification suits your business paperwork despite no listed equipment gain.
