another great drive sir... seeing that smile that makes us decide to choose toyota corolla cross 😊 after 3yrs past... and again another nice test drive with 100+ kph in uphill 😳😲
Thank you uncle YS Khong for reviewing Veloz, just bought this unit and now know that this car is capable enough on such winding and hilly roads. Terbaik!
@@shariqsiddiqui1073it only comes with auto, no manual for Malaysia market. The power for long and winding road is acceptable and adequate even with 4 to 5 passengers.
is the noise level really as shown in the video? (it almost sound like driving a turbo engine type of car) . But other video for Veloz not that loud though....
It would be nice if Uncle Kong explaining all the way up the hill on which manual gear to use at each steep slope after 8km from the Genting guard house.
surprisingly it handles very good just like the alza which is share the same platform as this and good news this car there's no waiting list unlike the alza which is up to 6 months waiting period

Hi Uncle YS Khong, I want to know. In terms of suspension, NVH level, cabin sound isolation, handling, ride and comfort. Which one is better, Veloz or Alza?
Wonder why the Veloz feels underpowered compared to a standard Yaris when it's only slightly heavier (1 pax weight) Wonder if it's to preserve the D-CVT gearbox?
@@gyatoch.7225 Yeah, for the max weight definitely got to factor in the additional 200-250kg. Hmm, they probably limit the output so that if max weight is carried the DCVT doesn't go over it's limit in this case as you mentioned. Though it's a bit sad that we can't enjoy the same power output as a Yaris/Vios when only 1-5 pax are in the vehicle. Understandably it's just a 95k car afterall.
I think the rough muddy roads may be a problem. It does not matter if it is FWD or RWD. For those muddy roads you actually require 4WD - this is what I glean from the many Indonesian YT videos.
how is the handling compared to alza 2022? they have different ground clearance so I'm curious to see if there is any significant difference in handling feel.
Nak speed? Beli sport car 😂 Kereta ni siapa yg nak jalan smooth, asal selamat sampai, luas dan selesa boleh pakai veloz ni. Kalau nak laju sampai kena up CC enjin asal sanggup bayar lebih bulan2. Setiap car manufacturer mereka akan buat macam2 jenis kereta sebab tu salah satu marketing & up kan sale diorang. Yg penting duit masyuk 😂. Tp uncle ni dh kira laju bawa veloz tu.
@@YSKhongDriving Thank you so much for reviewing the Veloz. By the way Uncle YS, was the Veloz just slightly more responsive than the Alza? There were some people who said they noticed a difference, myself included but it's just a very small difference, almost unnoticeable We very much could be wrong, and just happen to enjoyed the Veloz.
Whenever I watch can "car X" climb the Genting Highland review, all of them will say yes. I never see anyone review saying this or that car cannot climb.
@@YSKhongDriving my brother's previous alza model had that flat springless flooring that it felt like you're sitting in a van and made squeaking noise on uneven roads. It was also landing hard on bumpers as if it had poor absorber. I guess that's not the case nowadays.
I'm sorry but I feel that a 1.5 liter engine makes the Veloz underpowered. I can hear the engine strain throughout the drive up Gentings. Long term won't be good for the gearbox and engine. More so if you actually load the vehicle with 7 pax.
Yeahh. Even driver alone only aready engine screaming like to pecah then with more passanger/load how will this car can take it.. simply said.. its really so underpower
Go and buy another vehicle then. This vehicle is built as such to keep the cost affordable, and is for people who need to move people or things. A lorry may have 500 horsepower, and still can only struggle up this hill. Everything has a purpose, and this is not a sports car. Get a CX8, or a BMW X5, ah, but then you want it at 95k, right?
@@YSKhongDriving yes i watched it a great video but there are other vloggers with negative feedback to this car due to uphill issue specially when veloz stops in the middle of an uphill then continue going up. Hope you also try such case.
Yea can see uncle YS sighing and going like "it's not the fastest car in the world" 😂😂 Yea, sadly it's just a 1.5, a 1.8 would've been better. Agreed, the engine screaming is quite tiring to listen to.
@@YSKhongDriving sifu, I suggest putting this link ua-cam.com/video/fan1zHPp3YM/v-deo.html in your description below this video. you've shared a lot of info. super thumb up!
From uncle videos, I understand a racer don't need a racing car to surprise others. An ordinal car will do.
for anyone curious, the orange icon above the speedometer number is traction control off, not a warning sign or overheat
Thanks Aaron!
Uncle YS was in a good mood driving the Veloz. Good to see the smile Uncle!
For Veloz owner should install OBD 2 Meter since it's not having Temperature Meter..like the old Alza

Uncle, hitting 132 and superb cornering with Veloz.
The driving skill's so lit❤️
It was an excellent drive and a good car on mountain roads. My compliments to the uncle, his smile and his wonderful driving👍
The way uncle Khong drives, you can see he still has the heart of a tiger.
Hahaha, so funny!
Enjoying uncle punya driving skill. Sampai ter4get fokus what car is😂
Respect uncle driving skill......
superb watch uncle driving…cool
thank you uncle.u r our darling of malaysian motoring world
just got my Veloz last week, glad to know what its capable of.
is the noise level really as shown in the video? (it almost sound like driving a turbo engine type of car) . But other video for Veloz not that loud though....
You had just add up the fun factor on veloz uncle...thumbs up
Look very easy to drive by uncle Khong.
First....mersing johor
Nice, hope you can drive it with full paassenger, especially on a uphill start. Thanks really enjoyed your videos.
my first time watching uncle. my heart can't take it. but my adrenaline loves every moment of it
Hahaha, and this is just a 1.5 liter 7 seater mpv.
Uncle can you make a video on how to drive car in hills like you, i mean your cornering is lit.
Just watch our videos.
I like your UA-cam video, test drive climbing up mountain can sit some passenger.
Uncle Khong, how is the handling and stabilisation when taking a big corner? Will it feel wobby? Thinking of add ultra racing bar.
I don't think you need to.
It would be nice if Uncle Kong explaining all the way up the hill on which manual gear to use at each steep slope after 8km from the Genting guard house.
Hahaha, quite difficult
Nice video. Good reference for good and reliable car is to put your trust in Rally Champion. Hope to put a hand in Veloz one day.
tp guna mode power lg best drive.. sy sellu guna mode eco + powerfull.. memg mantap
Thanks a lot for your prompt response .
Always welcome
Beautiful car
Mantap uncle, 133 last.
No. 1 👍🏽👏🏽🤝🏽💪🏽😘

Err.. Most of the interested buyers still on up to 6 months waiting list too for Veloz, including myself 😂
@@etlew5312 well it depends on the dealer it's sort of special allegation
My area dealer said can get the veloz from 3-5 months but base on the colour, can anyone tell me which is the highly demanded colour for veloz?
@@nash._singhh Pearl white ofcourse, but I chose purplish silver since its the only available color at my local dealer. Waiting list however on whitepearl is longer I would be 19 if I waited for whitepearl 😂

Wanted to try this on jalan kimanis-keningau Sabah 😱😱
Haha I wonder how it can handle too 😂
I've tried there on myvi 1.5..full passenger & luggage. X blast 😂. Thinking of coming there back with my veloz
So how did it go?
haa....been waiting for this.....
Thanks for being patient.

Hi Uncle YS Khong, I want to know.
In terms of suspension, NVH level, cabin sound isolation, handling, ride and comfort. Which one is better, Veloz or Alza?
Frankly, the ride is much the same to me but some people say the Veloz is better.
The Veloz rides 30mm higher, very good for ground clearance.
@@YSKhongDriving I have an all-new Alza, and it loves to roll over bumps. 😂
Wonder why the Veloz feels underpowered compared to a standard Yaris when it's only slightly heavier (1 pax weight)
Wonder if it's to preserve the D-CVT gearbox?
Probably.. since we have to factor in the max load weight can be significantly higher than yaris (up to extra 200-250 or more kg) i think
@@gyatoch.7225 Yeah, for the max weight definitely got to factor in the additional 200-250kg.
Hmm, they probably limit the output so that if max weight is carried the DCVT doesn't go over it's limit in this case as you mentioned.
Though it's a bit sad that we can't enjoy the same power output as a Yaris/Vios when only 1-5 pax are in the vehicle.
Understandably it's just a 95k car afterall.
Actually, any car pushed hard will be loud. We are climbing a very high mountain at high speed.
Comparing Vios vs Veloz power and torque, the veloz is down- tuned compared to vios. Engines setting not the same though emgines are the same.
kancil also can go genting la, just the time will take longer
I cannot find the other video.. can tag the link?
100 plus kph on curved uphill is trully a skill 😮
Hahaha, it means engine has enough power.
Legend knows the heart of engine. 😎
👍👍👍
If u compare with the recent gen avanza has toyota made alot of good improvements to it??
This one is fwd
Uncle are you using PWR mode all the time when driving at genting?
Yes
uncle try again with full passenger like 7 average person
Hi Uncle, I also watch ur review on Xpander going uphill, which one do u think uncle is better when going uphill? veloz or xpander?
Both are 1.5 liter of similar power.
after the new Avanza, Veloz and Xenia was introduced in Indonesia, many people complain that it cannot climb uphill due to FWD drivetrain
I think the rough muddy roads may be a problem. It does not matter if it is FWD or RWD. For those muddy roads you actually require 4WD - this is what I glean from the many Indonesian YT videos.
how is the handling compared to alza 2022? they have different ground clearance so I'm curious to see if there is any significant difference in handling feel.
it handles very surprisingly despite different ground clearance
Watch both the videos. I think the shocks and springs have been retuned to cater for this, so it is still very good around corners
Hi uncle saya hadir nak tengok video uncle 👋🏻🙂
Ini legend punya orang lol
Can it climb with 7 people in the car?
Mr. Khong, how does Veloz compare with Alza (handling etc.)? I remembered when you did the Genting drive using Alza, the gearbox overheated
Mybe mase tu..passenger penuh..
@@akramhakim5104 btl jgk...bukan "apple to apple comparison "
cool color dude, is that stock or u got it wrapped?
Stock
Uncle YS, how about the throttle response and handling compare to new alza?
Same

nowadays car for sure not much problem to up genting. I'm interested sir YS Khong drive STOCK unit of kancil/viva or wira/waja up to genting....
Twenty years ago it would have been more relevant; but now we hardly see any of those cars around.
Uncle YS sounds like "oh finally i've arrived" haha
Car is too slow for uncle 😂
It's only a 1.5
@@YSKhongDriving Thank you so much for reviewing the Veloz.

seorang saja naik genting?..
kenape tak bawa full load 6 or 7 person?..
Pls do kancil uncle , wanna see if that car can fly or not .
We need a pair of wings....
please do yaris cross gas variant, thanks!
We don't have the Yaris Cross here, yet
How about if you got 7 passenger. Do you think it posible to drive in uphill as good as that witout damaging the cvt
With 6 passengers you will feel the weight, but it's not going to break
Alza oem vs alza brader gan vs veloz mane yang syok naik genting?
Brader Gan punya ada 6 orang, slow sikit. Semua kereta pun syiok.
Is it underpowered for going up to Genting at high speed? Does it function like pulling a bull up the tree?
Watch the video.
@@YSKhongDriving I watched before I ask this question as the engine sounds like that is the situation. Sorry to say.
Hi YSKhong, I can't find the on the road Veloz test drive as you mentioned. Please share the link. Thanks
Video not up yet. We have the walkaround.
Are you using gear 2 and 3 only for manual driving?
I think so.
@@YSKhongDriving but I saw your driving above 110km/hr with gear 2 and 3 only?
So 'kesian' the engine....screaming all the way...😁
Driving hard....
It looks more power ful than alza
sounds like a lawn mower
any car also can , as long as uncle ys khong drives it . 👋👋😁
now that the innova zenix have been launch...
Not yet
do you have try new persona model
Not yet
Do you think it’s a good car or you would recommend another car
It is a good car if you want a 7 seater on a low budget.
Sir, how does the handling compare to xpander?
Also very good.
how the feel ？？ powerful then 2017 avnza ？？
Definitely.
If uncle said nice, means can buy liao.
So will uncle buy this veloz 😁😁😁
If I needed a 7- seater....
Whenever I watch can "car X" climb the Genting Highland review, all of them will say yes. I never see anyone review saying this or that car cannot climb.
Some people really doubt if certain cars can.
Hi uncle, I enjoy watching your videos. I am from indonesia and i plan to buy a veloz soon. Does this car use Aisin or Jatco CVT?
Not sure, but it is a CVT. Sometimes car makers use dual sourcing
this car has a lot of vibration same as its twin brother alza ya ?
Not that I noticed.
hi uncle, need ur opinion which one is better veloz or xpander?
Both are good vehicles, very close, 1.5 l engines, one with cvt, one with 4 speed.
@@YSKhongDriving thank you Uncle
@@YSKhongDriving between these cars, which one would you choose?
Does veloz have squeaking sound like Alza?
What squeaking sound?
@@YSKhongDriving my brother's previous alza model had that flat springless flooring that it felt like you're sitting in a van and made squeaking noise on uneven roads. It was also landing hard on bumpers as if it had poor absorber. I guess that's not the case nowadays.
Can it still climb If u drive to genting with full passengers?
Should be able to, but will be a bit slower.
cvt + engine sounds quite loud 😅
Because of sport mode
how was the fuel consumption on that run?
We didn't check, but it would be more than usual.
Is the power same like alza
Yes
I'm sorry but I feel that a 1.5 liter engine makes the Veloz underpowered. I can hear the engine strain throughout the drive up Gentings. Long term won't be good for the gearbox and engine. More so if you actually load the vehicle with 7 pax.
Yeahh. Even driver alone only aready engine screaming like to pecah then with more passanger/load how will this car can take it.. simply said.. its really so underpower
Depends on your taste. But with 1.5 liter engine with 7 speed CVT for Veloz, at least have more improvement based on performance and fuel consumption
@@FJview Already got video with full load going up to Genting no problem..

which better boss?

Depends on what your needs are. Alza is most affordable, Toyota is most durable, and Xpander is most sporty
@@YSKhongDriving how about the power of engine? which better and smooth?

Toss a coin.

But it’s 7 sits mpv 😅 no meaning if drive alone
Can you bring some friends?
Velez not good in climbing stip mountains
It is only a 1.5 liter engine.
Veloz noisier than Alza, dont know why...
Depends on where the microphone is placed, and recording volume.
suggest test cabin noise for ppl easy to choose quite comfort balik kampung or performance trip@@YSKhongDriving

You would be too, if someone was whipping you up a hill
U r just showing your skills. But nothing much of the features of the car u drove. Thumb down
