This isn’t a straightforward piece to write down although the premise is straightforward. Old cars are simply not protected for you and your loved ones. They arrive nowhere near to modern crash safety standards and any recent automotive, even the most cost effective ones on sale today, are light years ahead in occupant safety.

Perodua is an organization that plans all the pieces intimately, and sticks to it. Annual sales records, a vice-like grip of its No.1 position and market share that’s now pushing 45% are testaments to the discipline and efficiency at play in Rawang. Heck, Perodua is now the No.2 carmaker in ASEAN after overtaking Honda in 2024. But an EV in 2025 wasn’t a part of the plan. It was the plan of the Madani government, and although Perodua won’t ever say so publicly, the corporate was tasked to give you a reasonable EV. To make things much more ‘interesting’ the…

The stations are USJ 7, South Quay, Mentari…
