The Korean government, along with several academi

The Perodua Aruz is a Malaysian favourite but later this year, the 7-seater SUV will be arriving in Singapore. Our southern neighbours will be the first market where the Aruz is exported but which variant could be offered will only be unveiled as the launch becomes official. In Malaysia, there are two variants of the Aruz with the AV variant bringing absolute bang for your buck with features like A.S.A 2.0 AEB suite and auto LED headlights.

The Perodua Myvi Advance is one of the few cars that have the ability to appeal to buyers from all walks of life. From fresh grads to highly accomplished chief executives, the love for the Perodua Myvi knows no bounds. Over 1 million Myvis has left the production floors since the car was unveiled to the public in May 2005. It's not hard to see why the Perodua Myvi Advance can capture the hearts of most, if not all, Malaysians. The Myvi Advance has always offered superb value for its price as wel
Proton has recorded 13,126 sales in July 2020, whi has been its highest number since June 2012. Thanks to the sales tax exemption and increase in consumer demand, Proton has benefited with an increase in sales. Overall sales of Proton cars in July 2020 grew by 37.3% over June 2020 and increased by 45.7% compared to the July 2019. The Proton Saga leads the A-segment sedan with 5,421 units sold in July 2020 alone. 1,100 units of the Saga Anniversary edition helped to boost Saga sales numbers in Ju
Perodua has introduced the third-generation Myvi in Mauritius, the third export market after Indonesia and Singapore for its popular B-segment hatchback. Set to be distributed by local distributor Raouf Dusmohamud & Co Ltd, the Perodua Myvi is priced at 699,000 Mauritian Rupees (~RM 81,300) for the 1.3G AT and 775,000 Mauritian Rupees (~RM 90,140) for the 1.5H AT.

Malaysians are eagerly waiting for Proton’s next SUV, more affectionally known as the Proton X50. Over at arch-rival Perodua’s base, they too are gearing up for their very own SUV known internally as the D55L. The Proton X50 (based on the Geely Binyue) will sit below the Proton X70 and competes against the likes of the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3. The pricing strategy will reflect this model hierarchy, giving customers a more affordable but no less high-tech SUV from Proton. The next Perodua SUV i
There is a lot of hate online surrounding the Perodua Myvi for its subpar driving experience and subpar perceived quality. But Perodua’s sales number for 2019 paints a different story. Perodua sold 240,341 cars in 2019 and the Myvi emerged as the company’s best-seller followed by the Axia, Bezza, Aruz and Alza. This is a year-on-year jump of 13,098 units (+5.8%) compared to 2018. Sales breakdown are as follows: Model Units Perodua Myvi 81,966 Perodua Axia 67,267 Perodua Bezza 45,656 Perodua Aruz
The Korean government has required Kia and Hyundai to increase the proportion of EVs and hydrogen-electric cars to over 10% from the total sales for 2021. For 2022, proportion will be raised to over 12%. This effort is in-line with the Korean government's goal to increase the number of pollution-free cars sold this year to 300,000 units. Business Korea reports that other car makers like GM Korea, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Toyota, and Audi Volkswagen are required to increase the proportion of pollution
Rebadging is a common practice in the auto industry, as manufacturers often rebadge different models and selling it as theirs. By now, Malaysians are familiar with rebadging, for better or worse. Enter the Toyota Rush, which is essentially a rebadged Perodua Aruz but with a much higher price tag, both are 7-seater B-segment SUVs, produced by Daihatsu, or in our case, Perodua. The top spec Perodua Aruz 1.5 AV has a retail price of RM 77,900, while the Toyota Rush 1.5G retails for RM 98,000. Both
In just a little over two weeks since its media preview, the Proton X50 has surpassed its 4,000 unit sales goal. And as you are well aware, all of this happened even before prices have been announced - but that hasn't stopped prospective buyers from shelling out the RM500 booking fee. Speaking to Berita Harian, Proton Edar Sdn. Bhd.'s Chief Executive Officer, Roslan Abdullah shared that the Proton X50's popularity has been overwhelmingly positive. Roslan said that orders for the B-segment SUV ha
You can say that you want about Perodua. Good if you like the company, but the company couldn’t be bothered if you think lowly of its budget cars anyway. Since launching the first Kancil in 1994, the company has developed a laser-like focus on its customers, giving them what they want, which turns out to be just very regular cars that are cheap to buy, cheap to run, cars that go about their duties with zero drama. Perodua ended September by recording its highest ever monthly sales of 25,035 unit
Well, yes and no. Yes, they are both 1.5-litre Dual VVT-i engine from the NR engine family and they are both made in the same Daihatsu Perodua Engine Manufacturing plant in Sendayan Techvalley in Negeri Sembilan. And no, they have slightly different engine codes, 2NR-FE for the Toyota Yaris and 2NR-VE for the Perodua Myvi. However, it’s just a different suffix for Toyota and Daihatsu. Wikipedia will tell you otherwise, saying that the Daihatsu's 2NR-VE is an steel block while the Toyota's 2NR-FE
At RM 43,190, the Perodua Axia Advance is the cheapest car to come equipped with Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEB). Most of us have been there, maybe something caught our attention away from the road momentarily, or we mispressed the accelerator pedal, or maybe we were too busy on *coughs* Facebook. A split second later and bam! But one feature that won’t be distracted or too busy is AEB. It is a system that detects an impending collision ahead and warns the driver. If the driver does not respo
The recently-introduced sedan and wagon variants of the all-new Toyota Corolla are physically smaller than other markets. No, really. These shrunken Toyota Corolla models are exclusive to Japan, where cars are taxed based on body size. In terms of dimensions, the Japanese market Toyota Corolla sedan’s length is 4,495 mm, 135 mm shorter than the international model. Its 1,745 mm width is 35 mm less than the international model. Furthermore, the Japanese market Toyota Corolla’s wheelbase is also 6
In Malaysia, we all know the Perodua Myvi easily outsells every other hatchback (and car) but up north in Thailand, it’s the Toyota Yaris that is dominating the hatchback market. According to sales data by Headlightmag, the Vios-based hatchback sold 2,139 units in June 2020, making its total cumulative figure to 10,679 sold in 2020 so far. That makes up 31.1% of the hatchback market, easily dominating the rest of the competition. Following the Toyota Yaris are the Honda Jazz and Suzuki Swift whi
Proton’s CEO Dr. Li Chunrong is confident that Proton will overtake Perodua to become the No.1 selling car brand in Malaysia by 2027, basically within the next model lifecycle of its products. Currently, only the Proton X70 is a new product. All other Proton models have yet to be replaced by a new generation model. In an interview with The Edge, Dr. Li said that ever since Geely became Proton’s partner in 2017, the company has been focusing on executing a 10-year product development plan, which
The Perodua Bezza has an inherently efficient engine - a unit from the NR family of engines - which is shared with various Toyota models and boasts the use of dual VVT-i, Teflon coating for the pistons, and iridium spark plugs. Pardon the technical stuff but what those mean is that the engine is able to sip fuel sparingly. On top on those, the Perodua Bezza comes with Eco Idle which is Perodua’s term for start-stop system. It is the cheapest car on sale to come with this feature. Start-stop syst
February has proven to be a productive month for Proton, as the company managed to deliver 11,873 units, capturing an estimated market share of 27.1%. It marks the highest market share for Proton since September 2013. Overall, Proton’s sales in February nearly doubled January 2021’s total of 5,964 units. Compared to the same month last year, volume has grown by 19.9%, though the cumulative for the first two months of 2021 is still 643 units (-3.5%) than 2020. Also Read: Less choices for consumer
ESC stands for Electronic Stability Control. It's computer-controlled feature that prevents the car from skidding. ESC is proven to be the most successful active safety device since it’s introduction, with research data showing a 50 percent of road accidents on cars with ESC. Initially only available in high-end cars, ESC is now available in even the cheapest Perodua, with the Bezza being the first. But the Bezza is not the only affordable car in our market with ESC. Here are 5 of the most affor
The highly-anticipated Perodua D55L won’t be launched before Chinese New Year. According to information gathered from dealers, Perodua will only begin conducting sales training for its upcoming, yet-to-be named compact SUV, codenamed Perodua D55L only on 8-February 2021. However, the date is subject to change depending on how bad the Covid-19 situation is. As you might have already know, the Ministry of Health has already warned that it is expecting cases to spike further in the next two weeks.
Perodua’s technical partner Daihatsu is expected to launch its first hybrid 7-seater multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) in Japan in October 2021. Details are still lacking but the model will certainly ride on Daihatsu’s latest DNGA platform, which is developed to accommodate hybrid drivertrains. The recently launched Perodua Ativa is the first DNGA-based model for our region. Two powertrain options are mentioned as possible candidates – a Toyota-sourced 1.5-litre hybrid (shared with Yaris Cross), or a
The crossover inspired Perodua Axia Style variant was launched in Sri Lanka at the Seylan Colombo Motor Show, which is happening over the weekend from 8-10 November. Unimo Enterprises, the local distributor for Perodua in Sri Lanka, is collecting bookings for the 2019 Perodua Axia Style at the show. It is priced at Rs 3.895 million in the island nation, which converts to around an eye-opening RM 89k. Bet we’re all feeling glad now. The Axia Style can be spotted by its silver bumper skid plates,
Perodua aims to sell 240,000 vehicles in 2021 - a 9% increase from the impressive 220,163 units sold last year. The company cites sustained strong demand for existing models and the sales tax (SST) exemption as key factors in achieving this goal. Perodua's sales figures last year netted them 41.6% market share of the 529,434 new cars sold in Malaysia (better known as Total Industry Volume, TIV) in 2020. Here's how each model performed for them: 2020 Perodua Sales Breakdown Car Units Perodua Myvi
It was one of the worst-selling Perodua models ever, but the Perodua Nautica wasn’t a problematic car. It was the successor to the popular Kembara and Perodua was riding on a wave of successful models then as the second “national” carmaker began to overtake Proton as the best-selling make in Malaysia. To call the Nautica the worst Perodua model because of its lacklustre sales is pretty unfair considering what actually went wrong. But before we dive right into what went wrong with the D55L’s pred
Fans of Kia can expect a new compact 7-seater MPV from the Korean carmaker this year - the Kia KY - according to a leaked document. Sighted by Indian media, the leaked presentation file shows Kia's plans for 2021. While specification details are still shrouded, the KY is said to be a compact 7-seater MPV - think therabouts the size of the Perodua Alza. Meanwhile, it's been rumoured that the KY will be based on the upcoming Hyundai Staria MPV that's reportedly going to be produced in Hyundai's In
(Model | Gallery) The Perodua Alza is Malaysia’s most affordable seven-seater, with a starting price of just slightly over RM 54,000 for the cheapest automatic transmission variant. However, the Alza is also very old, having been on the market since 2009. Apart from making dual airbags, ABS and ISOFIX standard across the range – which is good but it’s still below average when compared to a Myvi – and other upgrades in accessories, the Alza is mechanically unchanged for 10 years already. Undernea
Perodua sold 17,989 units of the Aruz between January and July this year, a figure which Perodua claims, makes it Malaysia's most popular SUV. With the high demand, a long waiting period is inevitable and previously the Aruz had a waiting period of up to 3 months, which Perodua says has now been reduced to between 1 to 1.5 months, depending on variants. Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad said "We continue to focus on quality and delivery as our customers com
It doesn’t have one. The new Perodua Myvi does not come with an active ‘Eco Mode’ which alters the powertrain to be more fuel-efficient. Unlike the ‘Eco Mode’ you find in Hondas, Toyotas and BMWs which changes the transmission and engine mapping, the Perodua Myvi only has an Eco indicator. What Eco indicator does is tell you whether you’re driving in a fuel-efficient manner. It takes into account your speed, throttle input and the gear selected to determine whether you’re driving efficiently or
( 2019 Perodua Axia Style Prices & Specs | Gallery ) The SUV and crossover trend is undoubtedly on the rise and it's happening globally. As much as fellow enthusiasts are against this trend, it's easy to see the appeal of an SUV; taller ride height for a better view out, greater sense of security, and go-anywhere ground clearance. Bearing that in mind, it's little wonder the Perodua Axia gets jazzed up with crossover elements for the Style variant. Despite its looks, it does not gain any additio
