LienJun 19, 2024, 05:19 PM

With the continuous development of the automobile market, consumers' demand for B-segment SUVs is increasing. Perodua, in line with this trend, plans to launch a new B-segment SUV - Perodua Nexis.

Perodua Nexis, codenamed D66B, is a new B-segment SUV based on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform. The DNGA platform has been successfully used in models such as Perodua Ativa, Perodua Alza, etc., which features high modularity and flexibility. This platform not only enhances the manufacturing efficiency of the vehicle but also ensures its quality and performance.

According to current news, Perodua Nexis is expected to be equipped with a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine with a maximum power of 106 PS and a peak torque of 138 Nm. This engine will be matched with a D-CVT transmission to provide smooth power output and good fuel economy.

In addition, Nexis may also launch a hybrid version. Its power system includes a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine and an electric motor, with a combined output power of up to 171 PS.

Currently, Perodua Nexis is positioned slightly higher than Ativa in the market and will become an important member of Perodua in the B-segment SUV market. The starting price of Nexis is expected to be around RM73,000, which will be more competitive than the starting price of Proton X50 RM86,300.

For reference, the price range of Perodua Ativa is from RM 62,500 to RM 73,400, while the highest price of Perodua Alza is RM 75,500. Will the new D66B or Nexis be the first Perodua car assembled in Malaysia and priced above RM 80,000? We can only wait and see.
