PERODUA MPV – A CAR THAT CAN BE AN MPV
Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) has spent close to RM300 million to develop its first multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), which it will launch this month.
However, the country’s largest car company in terms of sales appears poised to reap much more than its investment.
Motoring writers given a sneak preview of the MPV last week were bullish about its prospects.
The writers heaped praise on the 1.5-litre vehicle which Perodua prefers to call “a car that can be an MPV when you want it”.
Perodua managing director Datuk Syed Abdull Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar said it spent RM280 million to develop the Perodua MPV. More than half went towards the assembly of its 1.5-litre engine.
“The overall investment is almost similar to that of the Myvi,” Syed Hafiz told Business Times.
A senior Perodua plant executive said that some RM150 million was spent on the assembly of the MPV Perodua engine at its manufacturing facility in Sungai Choh, Selangor.
The engine factory, operated under Perodua Engine Manufacturing Sdn Bhd, manufactures key parts such as cylinder head and crankshaft for final assembly of the engine there.
Perodua has said it expects to sell at least 3,500 units of the MPV a month. Based on its design, features and price of Perodua MPV (RM56,000 to RM65,000 for three variants), a minimum monthly volume of 4,000 units is possible.

Perodua didn’t develop the model from the ground up, rite..
Wah.. 300 juta je untuk develop kete nih?… Eh… kira tak banyak sangat kalau diikutkan untuk develop kete nih.. pandai tul la P2 buat kete… jimat tul.. hehehe… Company kete lain cam Toyota ngan Daihatsu patut tiru cara P2 buat kete ngan kos yang rendah..

Auto windows dah takde masalah macam viva punye ke? Boleh jamin?How about suspensions? Kalau dah okey nanti bole le aku “trade in” viva bucuk aku tu.
Just wonder? Rasanye ok ke aku beli keta ni? Kat umah dah ada 2 biji keta P2 (tp bukan aku punya le)… nak beli keta for the first time…. harap MPV p2 ni pilihanku yg tepat… haritu ingat nak beli MPV Proton…. tp nampaknya keta tu x sesuey sgt dgn saiz badan n engin…. tambah2 kat sarawak ni… jalan kan main teruk… nak beli 4wd tak mampu… harap MPV ni pilihan tepatku… dah tak sabar ni…..
Bro …. bayangkan bawak MyVi cuma dgn bontot panjang sket. Awal tahun ni aku jumpa kete ni kat Jepun, lebih kurang MyVi gak. Rasanya ada 2 @ 3 design yg aku terjumpa. Tp yg pasti body kit mesti meriah mcm MyVi.
Dgn spec yg diberi & harga, rasanya sesuai dah tu utk org bujang atau yg baru kawin yg nk layan MPV. Sebelum ni aku guna MyVi selama 3tahun 2bulan. Ok je. Minyak jimat, low maintenance. Naik 5org pun masih selesa lagi. Problem cuma dgn disk brake je. Dulu aku suruh wshop tukar disk honda depan belakang, settle problem.
