Aveta launched the all-new Vanguard 180 in Malaysia on 4 August 2026, and it is already in stock at our Pekan Kapar HQ.
It is a 174cc adventure-style scooter with ABS, traction control and a front dash camera as standard, at a body price of RM 9,398. If the Aveta Vanguard 250 was more scooter than your budget wanted, this is the one to look at.
