Terios or in Malaysia known as NauticaOfficially, Perodua has unveilled Nautica 4WD - the new Perodua SUV.
Perodua has officially unveiled the name of the new Perodua SUV: the Perodua Nautica 4WD. Shown above is Theophilus Chin’s artist impression of the little SUV which is based on the short wheelbase Daihatsu Terios. The long wheelbase version is also on sale in our local market in the form of the Toyota Rush.
The new Perodua Nautica 4WD will be a CBU import from Japan with Perodua badging and styling, though since the car will be a low volume unit there should not be any major changes with the design other than a minor grille change, as it would not be cost effective to do any major restyling with so little units expected to be sold.
Bookings are open from May 10th 2008 onwards. Also released are some official minor specs on the car - a 1.5 liter DVVT engine (likely the 3SZ-VE in the Avanza and Rush) and a 4WD drivetrain, unlike the Toyota Rush’s 2WD drivetrain. It comes in automatic transmission only and has two colour variant - Medallion Grey or Majestic Black.
Perodua it's likely still continue rebranding outsiders car instead of doing the normal “national car manufacturer” and manufacturing here. At circumstances it will be more doubt about our capabilities to produce our own national car but there are more rebranding project will be growth in Malaysia that will be effect our credibility to be a car makers itself.
