Perodua EV Spotted On Test In The City Before Launch

There is some information circulating but not much on the Perodua EV

Perodua’s new electric car is expected to launch in late 2025 as an in-house-designed B-segment SUV with a target price between RM70,000 and RM80,000. It will feature a 400 km range, 0-100 km/h acceleration in 6-7 seconds, a digital interior with physical climate controls, a battery-as-a-service (BaaS) model option, and will be produced at Perodua’s Rawang plant.

This will be Perodua’s first EV designed from the ground up on a new, in-house-developed platform, a first for the company.

Perodua aims to localize EV components with the help of local vendors for motors, inverters, and ADAS systems.

Exterior: The car is designed as a B-segment SUV with a coupe-style roofline, a closed front grille, and LED headlights. It has a sporty look with sharp lines and a fastback rear.

Price and availability
