The evolution of Perodua “kosong” spec cars

Cars are expensive. We usually take 5, 7, or even 9 years just to pay them off. Some of us may take the Dave Ramsey route of avoiding loans, but that’s not a popular thing to do. With the tight-budgeted consumer in mind, auto manufacturers have provided us with base spec or “kosong” spec cars. As basic as they are, they serve the purpose of taking you from one place to another. A “kosong” spec car may have been your first car, the company car, or the car you learned to drive in. These cars remin

Spyshot: Daihatsu is evaluating a 1.0-litre turbo engine for Indonesia, Perodua next?

Indonesian automotive website AutonetMagz recently posted photos of what appears to be a Daihatsu Tanto on the streets of Indonesia. According to them, photos of the Daihatsu Tanto started to surface a couple of month ago, and some speculated that Daihatsu Indonesia could introduce the kei car there. In the past, Daihatsu Indonesia used to sell the Daihatsu Copen, but sales were short-lived as the Copen was priced too high for the average Indonesian buyer. However, Amelia Tjandra, the Marketing

Indonesian-specs 2021 Perodua D55L to get 1.2L engine option

While the 2021 Perodua D55L steadily gains hype in Malaysia, our neighbours have a better idea of things to come - information about the Indonesian-spec Toyota Raize and Daihatsu Rocky have come about online. In a way or the other, it gives us a peek of things to come - remember that the D55L (actual name is uncomfirmed) is based on the Toyota/Daihatsu twins.

Perodua D55L to launch in Indonesia as Daihatsu Rocky in May 2021

As we have mentioned before, the Perodua D55L will be sold in Indonesia as the Daihatsu Rocky and it might be one of the most anticipated model there too. According to Otodriver, the Daihatsu SUV will be launched in the island archipelago in May. That’s two months after the scheduled Malaysian debut. However, that is not the only significant month revealed by the Indonesian automotive site. Sources revealed that the Rocky could be exported to other markets in August. Does this mean that the Indo

Perodua D55L tiada transmisi manual, tak ikut Daihatsu Rocky spec Indonesia?

Umum mengetahui bahawa Perodua D55L adalah model SUV yang dibangunkan berasaskan Toyota Raize dan Daihatsu Rocky. Ura-ura turut mengatakan bahawa Daihatsu Rocky akan dilancarkan di Indonesia selain pelancaran Perodua D55L untuk Malaysia tahun 2021 ini. Toyota Raize dan Daihatsu Rocky menggunakan transmisi CVT secara keseluruhan. Hal ini juga bermakna, berkemungkinan besar Perodua D55L juga akan menggunakan transmisi CVT.

If you haven't already known, the upcoming Perodua D55L is based on the Japan-market Toyota Raize/Daihatsu Rocky.

Base model cars with steel wheels and unpainted bumpers are pretty much a thing of the past in Malaysia.

We all know the Toyota Avanza. The strangely proportioned 7-seater MPV that has the ground clearance of an SUV. While opinions are split between the car’s look, there was no denying that it was a helpful workhorse whether you’re ferrying workers or family around. Those on the elderly side also love the height clearance as it means easier ingress and egress!

But is that really the case? Well, the actual reason is due to the fact that ETCM does not have any other engine option to offer in the all-new Almera. Let

We recently came across photos of what appears to be the Daihatsu Thor in Malaysia. The Daihatsu Thor is a Japan-only model, and its presence here in Malaysia has raised an eyebrow or two. Seeing that this particular Daihatsu Thor isn’t covered in any camouflage (the Daihatsu emblem is still exposed), it’s safe to say that it won’t be sold here. Instead it is more likely to be part of an evaluation for a specific part used in the Thor, a part or feature that would eventually come to Malaysia, ei

Despite being an unnamed model, Daihatsu was gracious enough to provide the vital stats, including power output and dimensions. Power comes from a 1.0-litre turbocharged three-cylinder petrol engine that outputs 98 PS and 140 Nm, mated to a CVT-type automatic. Power is sent to the front wheels.

Surprising as it may sound, selected variants of the Daihatsu Rocky are actually more expensive than the Toyota Raize in Japan. Prices start from JPY 1.705 million for the entry-level Daihatsu Rocky 1.0 L variant, JPY 26,000 more than the equivalent (entry-level) Raize 1.0 X variant, which is priced from JPY 1.679 million. The key difference between the entry-level Rocky and Raize is the fitment of Daihatsu’s Smart Assist ADAS suite on the Rocky – something that the entry-level Raize lacks. The
