KUALA LUMPUR, El Sky News – Local car enthusiasts have plenty to look forward to! While Perodua is busy preparing to launch its first Electric Vehicle (EV), the nation’s second-largest carmaker hasn’t forgotten to refresh its existing lineup. Rumors are swirling that the end of 2025 will be a busy period for Perodua with the arrival of two key models: the highly anticipated fourth-generation Myvi and a brand-new B-segment SUV, codenamed D66B.
Myvi: The Hatchback King Ready to Reclaim the Throne
Since its debut in 2017, the third-generation Perodua Myvi has remained one of Malaysia’s best-selling cars. After eight years on the road, it’s time for the “King of the Streets” to receive a fully refreshed makeover.
Industry sources suggest that the fourth-generation Myvi will debut before the end of 2025. While specific details remain under wraps, speculation points to a platform shared with Daihatsu/Toyota models in Japan, potentially bringing sharper styling, advanced safety features, and improved fuel efficiency.
“Every new Myvi launch generates a lot of buzz. We can expect it to carry some of the modern technologies seen in models like the Ativa, if not more,” said a local market analyst.
B-Segment SUV D66B: ‘Traz’ as the Likely Name?
Aside from the Myvi, attention is also on Perodua’s new B-segment SUV, currently codenamed D66B. This model is expected to bridge the gap between the Ativa (A-SUV) and Aruz (7-seater SUV).
Hot rumors suggest that D66B could be named Perodua Traz, referencing a previously registered trademark. Slightly larger than the Ativa, the Traz has the potential to compete directly with popular B-segment SUVs such as the Proton X50 and Honda HR-V.
Expected features include:
- Spacious Interior: Providing greater comfort for families.
- Powerful Engine: Possibly an upgraded 1.5L engine or a hybrid variant.
- Advanced Safety Features: Including Perodua’s latest Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) package.
If launched by the end of 2025, these models could shake up the market, especially if Perodua continues to offer its winning formula: competitive pricing and easy maintenance.
Conclusion: 2025 Belongs to Perodua?
With its first EV, a new Myvi, and the upcoming D66B SUV, Perodua appears to have a comprehensive strategy to dominate Malaysia’s automotive market.
The company has yet to release official statements regarding launch dates or detailed specifications. One thing is certain: Malaysian buyers will be spoiled with more high-quality and value-for-money options from Perodua. All eyes will be on the official announcements soon!
