The upcoming Perodua D55L is a curious one. For starters, we know that it will be based on Japan market Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky. However, spyshots aren’t generally associated with a company as strict as Perodua.

As such, when it comes to upcoming Perodua models, instead of relying on spyshots, this is where render guru Theophilus Chin steps in.

In his latest iteration of the Perodua D55L, he gave the upcoming B-segment SUV the Kembara nameplate – one of the few names we speculated that could be the D55L’s name.

Apart from the customary Perodua emblem up front, Theo’s interpretation of the Kembara/D55L gets a different front grille with three horizontal slats and redesigned front fog light surrounds – the latter closely resembles the ones found on the 2020 Perodua Bezza.

Theo has also worked his magic on the rear of the D55L/Kembara, as it gets rear bumper garnish that looks similar to the ones found on the updated Perodua Bezza.

To recap, the upcoming Perodua D55L is a B-segment SUV with a number of Perodua-first features, such as a turbocharged engine (98 PS, 140 Nm), a CVT-type automatic transmission, as well as the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA).

Sales training for the Perodua D55L was initially supposed to happen on 8-February 2021 and sales were slated to start a month later in March, but the ongoing Covid-19 situation could push the schedule back.
