Verdict
The Toyota 86 ZN6 Facelift costs RM20,915 more at RM257,502, but its 1,998 cc boxer four, six-speed manual and rear-wheel drive layout are unchanged: both make 197 hp and 205 Nm, reach 100 km/h in 7.6 seconds and return a rated 7.1 L/100 km. The extra money buys LED projector headlamps, hill start assist, Michelin Primacy HP tyres and a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty. For a Malaysian buyer focused on the driving hardware, the RM236,587 ZN6 is the rational pick; the facelift makes sense for the longer warranty and added equipment.
Pick the Toyota 86 ZN6 if you want the same 197 hp, 205 Nm rear-drive manual package for RM20,915 less.
Pick the Toyota 86 ZN6 Facelift if LED projector headlamps, hill start assist and a five-year unlimited-mileage warranty matter more than the RM20,915 premium.
