Perodua inks MoUs with Petronas on a variety of services, with Gentari on EV charging at its facilities

Perodua has announced the signing of MoUs with Petronas and Gentari to partner on various services that it says will enhance the retail experience for its customers.
The first MoU, inked between Perodua Sales and Petronas Lubricants Marketing (PLLMSB), Mesra Retail & Cafe and Setel Ventures (Setel), will see Perodua customers gaining access to new Petronas-based services at its service centres. Elements include the integration of Setel’s digital payment feature into Perodua’s UFirst app and the establishment of Mesra retail stations for added convenience. The collaboration will also see the setting up of Perodua service centres at selected Petronas stations.
Perodua president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad welcomed the expansion of the long-established partnership between the two brands. “Perodua Sales and PLMMSB have been partners for over 20 years and that partnership has proven mutually beneficial, and we will further expand this partnership that will benefit our valued customers,” he said.

Meanwhile, the second MoU, signed between Perodua Sales and Gentari through Gentari Green Mobility, will see the latter setting up charging facilities at existing Perodua service centres in view of Perodua’s upcoming move into the electric vehicle (EV) domain, expected to happen towards the end of 2025. The move is aimed at supporting Perodua customers in the transition to EVs.

Perodua year-end promo – Ativa gets RM1,500 cash rebate, RM4,000 discount for Aruz, now till Dec 31

Perodua is having a ‘Year End Special Rebate’ promo for the Ativa and Aruz from now December 31. The compact turbocharged SUV can be yours with a RM1,500 cash rebate, while the high-riding seven-seater MPV is being offered with a RM4,000 discount.
Launched in March 2021, the Ativa is still the only Perodua with a turbocharged engine. The A-segment SUV – the first P2 to ride on the DNGA platform – is powered by a 1.0-litre downsized turbo triple with 98 PS and 140 Nm of torque from 2,400 to 4,000 rpm. It’s paired to the D-CVT gearbox that’s now a mainstay for the market leader. The Ativa is priced from RM62,500 for the base X to RM73,400 for the top AV with the black roof option.
Introduced in early 2019, the Aruz is seven-seat MPV with SUV styling and ground clearance that’s higher than most SUVs (220 mm). This is the Aruz’s biggest differentiator from P2’s other seven-seater, the Alza – that one is car-like and rides 60 mm lower. For those who want tall car visibility and peace of mind from minor flooding, the Aruz would be a good tool.
The powertrain consists of a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine with 102 PS/133 Nm, and a four-speed torque converter automatic sending drive to the rear axle. Passion Red joined the colour range in late 2021.
Aside from going to the showroom, you can also try Perodua Online Booking.

The road transport department (JPJ) has issued another list of product recalls from a couple of automotive brands in Malaysia, and the latest notice involves two vehicle models from Perodua as well as from motorcycle brand Honda.
The following are the make and model of affected vehicles, as published by the JPJ:
Perodua Alza 1.5 X, 1.5 H and 1.5 AV (2024) – 2,518 unitsPerodua Aruz 1.5 X and 1.5 AV (2024) – 1,139 unitsHonda CB350RS (2024) – 65 unitsThe department said the recall involving the second-generation Alza as well as for the Aruz has been made to rectify the height of the light throw from the headlamps, which do not comply with specifications.

As for the CB350RS, which was launched in Malaysia in June, the recall is being issued for faulty speed sensora, which may cause incorrect speedometer readings as well as incorrect operation of the ABS and traction control. A similar recall notice was issued over this matter in India back in September.
The department added that all vehicle owners affected by the recalls will be contacted by the manufacturers for checks and rectification to be carried out, at no cost to owners.

ACE 2024: Perodua 1-Day Challenge starts; book, reg and drive away today – Aruz Elegant Black on display

Welcome to the paultan.org ACE 2024 show, and if you’re not already at Setia City Convention Centre, make sure you fit the show into your weekend plans, as there’s plenty of new models (and brands) to see under one roof, plus great deals and test drive sessions.
Perodua is part of ACE 2024, and the Malaysian market leader is having a ‘1-Day Challenge’ at the show. They’re saying that it’s possible to make a booking at ACE, and then get registration done on the spot. You’ll be able to drive home your new Perodua today itself. This has to be unprecedented as P2 is known for its waitlists.
I have a feeling that this is not applicable to all models, but the only way to find out is to come and see what’s on the drive-away list. If you’ve been considering one, this is the best time to take action because P2 has a RM1,000 cash rebate for the Axia in its ‘What’s Up Graduate?’ campaign, as well as a RM3,000 discount for the Aruz. Also, book at ACE and you’ll get a RM300 Perodua e-voucher.

There are also perks for existing owners. Among the offers are 15% discount on Perodua Genuine Oil and parts plus RM25 labour discount, special UFirst voucher redemption and great deals from its POV pre-owned division. I’ve redeemed a voucher for reduced UFirst points and you can do so too – RM5 P2, RM10 P2 and RM8 Tealive vouchers are available.
While there’s no new model at Perodua’s ACE 2024 booth, there’s a fresh-looking car, and..

MITI will assist Perodua to build Malaysia’s first under-RM100k EV, to be ready by end-2025 – Tengku Zafrul

Perodua ‘MyEV’ rendered based on the 2023 EMO ConceptThe ministry of investment, trade and industry (MITI) says it will help Perodua achieve its aim of producing Malaysia’s first electric vehicle (EV) priced under RM100,000 by the end of 2025. According to MITI minister Tengku Datuk Seri Zafrul Abdul Aziz, the reason why the government wanted to assist and facilitate Perodua is because “we want to make EVs affordable,” The Edge reports.
He said the ministry is optimistic that the national automaker will reach its target of mass producing the EV by the end of next year, in time to meet the lifting of price cap protection measures. “Perodua has been in discussion with MITI, and we are optimistic about its plan of achieving the target by the end of 2025,” he said.
While reiterating what he said earlier this year regarding the timeframe for deployment, Zafrul did not provide details on how far development has progressed on the project. As yet, very little is known about P2’s electrification programme beyond that offered via its Electric Motion Online (EMO) scale model and emo-1 proof-of-concept prototype that was shown in May this year.
The emo-1 concept, based on the current D51A Myvi, provides an insight into what the EV could be like. It’s powered by a single front motor that produces 68 PS (50 kW) and 220 Nm of torque, getting the car from zero to 100 km/h in around seven to nine seconds.
