Which variant to buy

Most buyers should begin with the 1.5 S at RM85,900: it shares the 1,498 cc, 119 hp petrol engine, front-wheel drive and CVT with the RM90,900 E, RM95,900 V and RM100,900 RS Petrol. On paper, those RM5,000 steps buy trim rather than mechanicals, so check the equipment list before spending more. Pay for the RM112,900 e:HEV RS only if you specifically want its 205 hp petrol-hybrid REV powertrain and eCVT.
