Perodua’s upcoming Kelisa and Kancil Replacement Model is due to be launched in the middle of this year, somewhere around June or July, replacing it’s 13-year old Kancil and 5-year old Kelisa models, reported The Edge Daily. The Perodua Kancil has been somewhat of an asset to the Malaysian automotive industry, and Malaysians themselves, allowing low-income families who use motorcycles to upgrade to a 4-wheeled vehicle due to it’s low entry price.

Rumours have been going around that the Kancil would be retained as an ultra-low end model, with the new car replacing only the Kelisa, but Perodua managing director Syed Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar has cleared these doubts, saying Perodua will have a single model serving the 1 liter and below segment. Some specifications of the new car have been released by Perodua - the 1.0 liter Kancil Replacement Model will come in both manual and automatic transmissions, but there will also be manual-only variants in both 660cc and 850cc form. All 3 engine variants will feature electronic fuel injection and DVVT dynamic variable valve timing.

Perodua has also learned from the Perodua Myvi’s overwhelming runaway success - instead of stockpiling only 1,000 units for the launch orders which was done for the Myvi, the upcoming Perodua Kancil and Kelisa Replacement Model would have between 2,000 to 3,000 cars stockpiled to cater to demand. Production capacity will be 7,000 units monthly.

Perodua’s new Kancil and Kelisa Replacement model is expected to account for 30% of sales this year, with a remaining 40% expected to comprise of Perodua Myvi variants, and 30% for all other models. As for the new car’s name, it isn’t revealed yet, but most people have started referring to it as the Perodua Viva. Spyshots of these car have been captures since end-2005, so we’ve been waiting for this one for more than a year now.

omgod, it's got saggy @$$ ...this ride is fugly

its not that bad.. if u compared to the original design of the kancil.. at least their design are acceptable compared to proton..

: O


IMO that's not a good-looking car at all. It's too bulky, too roundish, designs are too solid ...

But let's just hope it scores high on the practicality and low-fuel-consumation rate so at least it'll have a market among practical users who do not really go for style.

u must see the complete one, that one havent spray yet..

cute what.. the tyre is so small and the body is so big.. nice hahaha

The bumper is awkward.It'd be OK if the body's color is the same as the bumper.

The tyres looks awkwardly small too.

But it's cheap it's OK.

Look like Toyota Avanza

there will be also myvi SE whcih is different bodykit

hm... i jes thought that proton hv their own style and uniquness,especially since perdana,waja,savvy etc.kancil design?? look thru it carefully, jest my opinion that probably to cut cost ot mother machine, die and molds, perodua management successfully tied a contract from japanese companies to buy things that i mentioned above. aint it looks like passo afterall??
`katteni iccyatta`

...what?? looks quite hideous to me.. i mean the bumper.. its so not acceptable.. look like avanza+kancil and alil bit of myvi...

perdoua management dont tied a contract from japanese companies bruce, they japanese owns perodua...

Typical Malaysian comments.
If it's by Mercedes or BMW, I'm sure you've got positive comments no matter how ugly the car is.

typical means majority right?? so, if most people said so, then, its really is. if u said that this car is amazingly beautiful, i respect ur view. but some malaysian made cars have nice designs.. for me myvi, perdana, waja, gen 2 r nice..

If this car is made by Proton/Perodua, I don't think people would see it as nice.

I never said that car made by Malaysian not nice. You're to quick to judge my comment....
I just said it look like Avanza. Nothing wrong with that...

kelisa and other small car actually a hit in SG...people who opted for weekend cars (can drive only from 7pm-7am and whole day of weekends and PH)

Cuz its so cheap..S15,000 ...10 years loan you pay $193 per month

Its an instant hit...especially nowadays the kelisa is painted using 2 colour tones juz like the mini



You are right bro....this is what I hear most times when new car are being introduced ...people criticised like crazy as if they know better than the designer

the best part is that....in the end ...they swallow their own spit by buying the car after all

i am so in love with this car......

saves petrol.....imagine,i am using this car to go to my university ( 169 km ),the fuel only costs about rm10......from seremban to batang berjuntai.......

too much attraction......all my friends and lecturers will be looking at me while i drive,even unknown strangers..........( which eventually made some monkeys to scratch my car )

wonderful comments from my friends and lecturers......they say it looks like a toy car......

And most importantly.......got air bag in case some drunkards crush on me,i will be still alive.......

You should watch top gear more often.. this car (smart fortwo) fair worst during the crash test its like a tin canned crushed, quite the same like kancil.. for the expensive price you have to pay its not worth at all.. air bag wont save you..
Check this out: Smart Fortwo Crash Test Video

my dear friend ....that car was tested at 70mp/h,which is about 150km/h......i barely drive my car at that speed,futhermore the maximum speed i had drove using my car was 100km/h...........and honestly i drive about 80km/h while on highway...coz i know speed kills

Practically its not worth.. expensive cars should have more protection compared to the cheaper one.. what if you were smashed by other vehicles like big lorry?

adui........how could you think or imagine i am going to get crashed by a lorry ?... now i am scared to use that car.....waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Greg jadi roti canai lar
