Xpander in 2026 — what's new

Malaysia’s petrol Xpander carries into 2026 unchanged with Base and Plus variants, both using a 1,499 cc, 104 hp front-wheel-drive automatic powertrain and seven-seat layout. The latest 2026 Xpander development is a Hybrid facelift in Thailand, which gets ADAS, six airbags and a 116 PS/255 Nm electric motor. That Thai model is priced at RM114k.

Which variant to buy

Most Malaysian buyers should take the Base at RM99,980. It has the same 1,499 cc petrol engine, 104 hp, front-wheel-drive automatic transmission and seven seats as the Plus. The Plus costs RM109,980, a RM10,000 step up, but no mechanical or equipment differences are stated. On paper, you are paying for trim rather than extra output or seating; pay more only after confirming the Plus equipment list contains something you need.

Verdict

The Xpander brings seven seats and a conventional 1.5-litre petrol automatic layout, while the facelift adds a revised front fascia. Its weakness is price: even the entry Xpander costs more than the Toyota Veloz’s RM95,000 starting price and well above the Perodua Alza from RM62,500. Buyers need to decide if this particular package justifies paying beyond the class’s quoted RM95,000 upper end.
