Rumour has it that Perodua will be launching a B-segment SUV in 2023 to rival the Proton X50. Our friends at funtasticko reported that the rumoured model will be sold as a Toyota in Indonesia.

As is the nature of rumours, details are entirely speculative. The new Perodua B-segment SUV is said to be based on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) in the variation of DNGA-B, which also underpins the 2022 Daihatsu Xenia and 2022 Toyota Avanza/Veloz.
It is also said to be larger than the Perodua Ativa in all dimensions but shorter in length than the Perodua Aruz.
Powertrain wise, it’s reported to feature the 1.5-litre Dual VVT-i engine (codenamed 2NR-VE) that makes 106 PS/137 Nm, paired to the D-CVT. This combo is found in the facelifted 2022 Perodua Myvi and the 2022 Toyota Avanza/Veloz.
Also rumoured is a 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay, plus a starting price of RM 73,000.

Perodua has yet to confirm such a project and there’s no mention of a model code (Ativa was D55L, upcoming Alza is D27A), so do take everything you’ve read with a large serving of salt.
The quest for automotive knowledge began as soon as the earliest memories. Various sources information, even questionable ones, have been explored including video games, television, magazines, or even internet forums. Still stuck in that rabbit hole.
