What's the best selling MPV currently in Malaysia market? Nissan Livina, Proton Exora, and probably also the soon-to-be-retire Toyota Avanza. After a few months, I assume all of these will have to make their ways for the up coming Perodua MPV.
It is scheduled launch at Quarter4, 2009. The name of this MPV is yet to be confirmed but it is base on Toyota/Daihatsu model called Passo Sette.
I manage to find some leaked photo from the internet and would like show it to all of you.
Basically what Perodua has done are some cosmetic changes on the exterior and the interior to the original Toyota's/Daihatsu's, which they had done to all their models: Kancil to Myvi to Nautica and etc.
Compare to the original version, the exterior of the Perodua's version is more agressive and less 'Nippon style' which suits Malaysian taste generally. The headlamp is sharp and has similarity to the new Hyundai Genesis Coupe's. From what the photos show, I believe the High Spec model has projector lamp for their headlamp.
The interior, on the other hand, well.....cheap looking and....still....cheap looking compare to the original one (but frankly speaking, the original 1 also not that expensive looking). Perodua even replace the gate shif gear to ordinary one.
I believe this MPV will hit Avanza's market hard because it will be priced similarly to Avanza, as well as Proton Exora but Proton Exora's is a much bigger MPV compare to this one. So stay tuned for the 2nd round of Proton v.s. Perodua battle.
