This year not only marked the 20th anniversary of the Proton Waja, but also one of the weirdest Perodua models sold. Before the overwhelming success of the Myvi, Perodua was always overshadowed by Proton. Granted, Perodua and Proton weren’t directly competing then. Perodua focused itself on basic city runabouts with smaller engines and this didn’t affect sales of Proton. Perodua had a very simple 3-car line-up too. The Kancil was meant for beginner drivers, the Rusa was for simple commercial use

Tahun ini, kita bukan sahaja memasuki tahun ke-20 bagi Proton Waja, tetapi ia juga ulangtahun bagi salah satu model Perodua yang paling ‘aneh’ pernah dijual. Sebelum kehebatan Myvi terkenal seantero Malaysia, Perodua seringkali dibayangi oleh Proton. Hakikatnya, Perodua dan Proton tidak bersaing secara langsung ketika itu. Matlamat Perodua berfokus pada pemanduan biasa di bandar dengan enjin lebih kecil, dan ini tidak mengganggu jualan Proton. Pada masa yang sama, Perodua mempunyai barisan 3 ker

Clarkson is an ape. That’s quite a way to start off a story about the Perodua Kelisa. We all know how he made fun of the little Malaysian car and while it was all for entertainment, Malaysians tend to go a bit on the defense when someone picks a fight with our culture. The Perodua Kelisa wasn’t supposed to be a remarkable car. It was launched in 2001 and while it was originally planned to be the replacement to the Kancil, it was instead sold alongside it for six years before both cars were repla

Zaman sekarang ni, kereta dibina semakin besar. Sebab itulah trend kereta sekarang ini ke arah SUV. Besar dan luas. Namun tahukah anda, SUV lebih senang terbalik berbanding sedan? Oleh itu, fikir dahulu masak-masak sebelum melompat mengikut trend masa kini. Namun, lain pula ceritanya dengan zaman dahulu. Di bumi bertuah Malaysia ini, kita telah diberkati dengan kereta bersaiz kecil, Perodua Kancil dan Perodua Kelisa. Kedua-duanya memang mudah dipandu tetapi Perodua Kelisa menganjak paradigma kit

I hope you’re not feeling too queasy for more coverage of the Proton X50 because well, here’s another one. Unlike others that churn out plenty of bite-sized visual information on the hottest car to come out from the Malaysian Tiger in a day, we decided to put the spotlight on another highly anticipated Malaysian SUV, the Perodua D55L.

In the early 2000s, the hardworking people at Perodua were scratching their heads trying to understand why sales of their oldest model, the Perodua Kancil was increasing. Isn’t that a good thing you ask? Well normally, you would expect demand for an ageing model to decline over time. However, between 1995 and 2002, sales of the Perodua Kancil grew by 56 percent, from 39,856 units to 62,279 units, outpacing the industry’s overall growth by 6 percent. This is highly unusual because by 2002, the Ka
