New Perodua models soon

BESUT: Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd's (Perodua) new compact model which will feature the latest, more stylish and sporty design, is expected to be launched in July or September this year.

Perodua managing director Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said the model to be introduced was also expected to exceed the popularity of the current range of MyVi, Alza and ViVa models.

“For the new car, we also took into account the comments of customers towards previous models,” he added. “That is why, every time Perodua introduces a new model, it will surely be better that those previously, from the aspect of design, engine and fuel savings,” he told Bernama here yesterday.

He declined however, to reveal further details of the new model, or if it was a compact sedan with a 1.5 litre engine capacity when asked.

“It is an affordable compact car, suitable for all sections of the community, especially the young,” he said. - Bernama
