Verdict
The RM1,721 gap buys no stated mechanical, safety or cabin-equipment upgrade. Both V80s use the same 2,499 cc turbodiesel with 136 hp and 330 Nm, a five-speed manual and front-wheel drive, while carrying 12 people with 12 three-point belts. They also share rear parking sensors, rear air-con vents with blower control and a three-year/100,000 km warranty. For a Malaysian fleet operator or shuttle business, the Maxus V80 2.5L Window Van 12 Seater is the rational buy; inspect the final equipment list before paying extra for the Bas Pesiaran badge.
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 trim designation suits your operation and the dealer confirms equipment not reflected in the specification.
