Syarikat penala Jepun Wald dilihat banyak mendedahkan siri gambar render kit badan khas yang sekali gus memberi bayangan mengenai kit badan Land Cruiser keluaran tahun 2022. Toyota Land Cruiser 300 dijangka akan mula dijual di pasaran Australia selewat-lewatnya hujung tahun ini. WALD dilihat mendedahkan beberapa imej pakej kit badan yang merangkumi beberapa set kemasan bampar hadapan, kemasan gril hadapan, fender flare yang lebih lebar, serta set rekaan rim bersaiz besar untuk dimuatkan pada arka roda. <div class="container" style="display: flex;"><amp-img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/1127/2883518/Wald-International-2022-Toyota-land-Cruiser-1-full.jpg" width="1100px" height="767px" layout="responsive" style=""></amp-img></div>Bagaimanapun, terdapat beberapa perubahan ketara pada jentera ini terutaamnya di bahagian&nbsp; bampar dan splitter hadapan.Biarpun, tiada sebarang gambar bahagian kit badan belakang, maka tiada sebarang ulasan dapat diberikan sehingga semua spesifikasi jentera ini terjawab. Malah, desas-desus turut mengatakan bahawa penawaran kit badan Wald untuk Land Cruiser 2022 ini bakal diperlihatkan secara rasmi menjelang penghujung tahun ini atau awal tahun hadapan.

日本WALD International集团最近发布了多张有关Toyota LandCruiser 300的数码宣传图，表达了该公司对2022 Land Cruiser车型套件的愿景，而此款车及套件预计将在今年年底首先在澳洲推出。 该集团发布了此车型的正面和侧面的照片，设计围绕相同的挡泥板喇叭口、侧边和格栅，每个宣传图都提供了前保险杆和车轮的各种选项。 <div class="container" style="display: flex;"><amp-img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/1127/2883518/Wald-International-2022-Toyota-land-Cruiser-1-full.jpg" width="1100px" height="767px" layout="responsive" style=""></amp-img></div>其显着的变化包括改良的前保险杆和分离器，以及全新的前格栅。原厂侧踏板替换了一个低矮的侧边，在合金轮圈的顶部有一套新的匹配颜色的喇叭口。由于并没有提供车身套件的后视图，在该集团还未最终确定之前，可惜无法做出太多判断。此款车的车身套件预计将在今年年底或明年年初推出。

Japanese group WALD International has recently released many digital renders, portraying their vision on a body kit for the 2022 Land Cruiser. The Toyota LandCruiser 300 is set to be available in Australia by the end of the year. WALD has released images of the front and side of the kit: the design was seen to revolve around the same fender flares, side skirts and grille, with each rendering depicting various options for the front bumper and wheels.  Noticeable changes include a revamped front bumper and splitter, along with a new front grille. Replacing the factory side-steps is a low-slung side skirt with a new set of colour-matched flares on top of the alloy wheels.  With no rear-views of the kit, not much judgment can be made until everything is finalized. The body kits are expected to be available by the end of this year or the beginning of the next.  <div class="container" style="display: flex;"><amp-img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/1127/2883518/Wald-International-2022-Toyota-land-Cruiser-1-full.jpg" width="1100px" height="767px" layout="responsive" style="width: 100%"></amp-img></div>

This is slightly below the record 816,724 units sold in 2024.BIMB Securities noted that the market could receive a boost in the fourth quarter of 2025, echoing similar views shared by analysts in December 2024 about potential early purchases ahead of the expected introduction of new open market value (OMV) duties in 2026, which may raise vehicle prices. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18075/15525822/conversions/Caricarz-MBA-Chery-TiggoCross-MAS2025-15-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15525822" alt="Caricarz-MBA-Chery-TiggoCross-MAS2025-15.jpg"> As of May, the year-to-date TIV stood at 316,737 units. This is 40.6% of the annual target, but 5% lower than the 333,309 units recorded in the same period last year.Still, sales showed improvement in May. TIV increased by 12.4% to 68,007 units from 60,527 units in April. Passenger vehicle sales rose 12.1% to 55,971 units, while commercial vehicles climbed 15.2% to 5,250 units.RHB Research is keeping its 2025 TIV forecast at 730,000 units. It expects a surge in <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2024/12/analyst-omv-revisions-set-to-raise-car-prices-spark-ev-adoption" target="_blank">electric vehicle (EV)</a> sales this year before the current tax exemptions on completely built-up (CBU) EVs expire after 2025. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18075/15525823/conversions/social_CariCarz_Tesla-Model-Y-Malaysia-Launch_-9-(1)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15525823" alt="social_CariCarz_Tesla-Model-Y-Malaysia-Launch_-9-(1).jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18075/15525824/conversions/web_CariCarz_TA_MAS2025_GWM-Tank-500_-2-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15525824" alt="web_CariCarz_TA_MAS2025_GWM-Tank-500_-2.jpg"> However, EVs still only account for around 2% of total vehicle sales in Malaysia. RHB said this is unlikely to significantly impact overall TIV numbers in 2025.Both RHB and BIMB have highlighted risks to the sector. These include global supply chain issues, weaker consumer sentiment due to higher living costs, and pricing pressure from Chinese automakers amid an ongoing <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/05/wake-up-malaysias-ev-policy-needs-urgent-and-strategic-overhaul" target="_blank">EV price war</a>.The upcoming <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/03/xpeng-mulls-ckd-plans-in-malaysia" target="_blank">OMV duty framework</a> also remains a concern. Although full details are yet to be released, analysts warn it could <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/03/2026-ev-prices-imagined-why-ev-tax-exemptions-must-stay" target="_blank">raise the cost</a> of both imported and CKD cars, especially EVs. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18075/15525825/conversions/Proton-eMas7-MediaDrive-(1)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15525825" alt="Proton-eMas7-MediaDrive-(1).jpg"> That possibility may encourage buyers to act early, potentially lifting sales in the final quarter of the year.EV adoption continues to grow, but price remains a key barrier for many consumers. Most Chinese CBU EVs are still priced out of reach for the mass market.Fuel subsidy reforms may also shift consumer behaviour. RHB said the planned rationalisation of <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/06/amir-hamzah-ron95-subsidy-coming-reform-before-2026-carbon-tax" target="_blank">RON95 subsidies</a> could prompt interest in EVs or lead some buyers to switch to more fuel-efficient combustion engine cars.EV registrations rose 44% in May to 4,152 units, driven by aggressive pricing from Chinese brands across both premium and mid-range segments. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18075/15525826/conversions/EV-Chaging-Desert-(5)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15525826" alt="EV-Chaging-Desert-(5).jpg"> As of March, Malaysia had 4,161 public EV chargers. To meet the government’s target of <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/06/new-energy-asia-set-to-market-lotus-ev-chargers" target="_blank">10,000 chargers by the end of the year</a>, more than 970 units would need to be installed each month.However, based on the deployment trend over the past year, it's clear the rollout has slowed considerably, making it unlikely that the year-end target will be met.What’s also worth noting is that despite setting the target, the government has not made any direct financial investments into these chargers. Instead, the build-up is being pursued under a public-private partnership model, with the private sector leading infrastructure development.Both BIMB and RHB continue to take a neutral stance on the sector, citing a mix of supporting and limiting factors. Among listed players, RHB maintains a sole "buy" rating on Sime. Source: <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://theedgemalaysia.com/node/759609" target="_blank">The EDGE</a>

Right now, they are still relatively low. If there’s a sharp increase, it brings good returns for Petronas. But it also affects many countries, including us. We are not going to increase fuel prices,” Anwar said. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/18078/15525937/conversions/thumb-RON95-Petrol-(1)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="15525937" alt="thumb-RON95-Petrol-(1).jpg"> Anwar further added that the government’s focus is on easing the burden on ordinary Malaysians, especially during uncertain global conditions.He stressed that although Petronas stands to gain when oil prices go up, the government will not pass on that cost to the people.RON95 is the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/06/ron95-petrol-subsidy-rationalisation-will-proceed-pmx" target="_blank">subsidised fuel</a> used by most Malaysians. Any price hike would have a direct impact on transport costs, inflation, and daily expenses, particularly for the B40 and M40 groups.By maintaining the current fuel price, the government hopes to keep essential costs under control and support the public amid rising global uncertainties.
