Cars under RM50,000 in Malaysia

4 models on sale · from RM34,580 · monthly from ~RM355/mo

RM50,000 is the floor of Malaysia's new-car market, and it belongs almost entirely to the national marques. The money buys an A-segment hatchback or an entry sedan — automatic, five seats, cheap to run and cheap to insure — and recent updates mean even this bracket now comes with real safety kit on the better variants. If the budget can stretch a little, the next bracket opens up noticeably more car.
