Last week, we reported that the excise duty for seven-seater multi-purpose vehicles (MPVs) with engine capacities of 1,500 cc and below was set to increase from 60 to 65 percent.

Thus far, we can confirm that UMW Toyota Motor has increased the price of the Toyota Sienta, Rush and Avanza.

Here are the updated Toyota Sienta 1.5 prices :

• Toyota Sienta 1.5G - RM96,900, increase of RM4,000 from RM92,900

On top of these Toyota models, the Perodua Alza, Proton Ertiga and Honda BR-V are also affected by the increase in excise duty. Perodua, Proton and Honda have yet to announce the increase in price, though that can change anytime. Unlike the earlier mentioned Toyota models, these three are locally assembled. 

Proton is currently running a promotion for the Ertiga, where buyers can enjoy a RM1,500 discount on top of 5-year free service.
