2008 Perodua Kembara Artist’s Impression
Click to enlarge
UPDATE: Perodua has announced that a new Kembara will be launched in mid-2008. It is expected that the new Perodua Kembara replacement will be based on the Daihatsu Bego/Toyota Rush. Click here for more details.
UPDATE: New Kembara replacement Perodua SUV spotted on Malaysian roads!
Once again Theophilus Chin has whipped up his Photoshop and created this artist’s impression of how a future Perodua Kembara replacement model could look like. He used a short wheel base Toyota Rush/Daihatsu Be-Go and slapped on the combination of a Myvi and a Viva on it, to match Perodua’s current design language.
It makes sense for the Rush to be introduced here, but what we don’t know yet is whether it will be a short wheelbase or long wheelbase version, and what badge will be on the hood. Read my commentary on that in the first link in the related posts link below.

the front design is kinda awkward…………
October 19, 2007 @ 6:37 pm
Oh no…sorry, but the face looks not that cool. I think Bego original design looks better. Wheel arch and side skirt colour matching with the body also looks a bit weird as well.
Long wheelbase version of Rush currently is being produced by Astra Daihatsu Indonesia. I think probably UMWT will bring in that version into Malaysia market under Toyota emblem.
I bet Perodua will be producing….ops sorry, manufacturing or maybe assembling would be the exact word ?… the short version.
Bego/Rush, Boon/Passo…exactly same cars from the same factory, except the badge.
One more thing, i bet there will be no more Kembara kind of name. Perodua is going to call their new product with a new name…that’s for sure. MyVi -> ViVa -> Va….?

Looks like as if they put a myvi head on it… The other parts of the car are great except for the front…. Spoil everything… Sayang…
October 19, 2007 @ 7:13 pm
ever seen the new daihatsu terios?
its way better than this one
October 19, 2007 @ 8:11 pm
it’s just an artist impression right?
October 19, 2007 @ 8:38 pm
O DD …
October 19, 2007 @ 9:08 pm
wow..use myvi headlight? haha…but i think it’ll be more or less the same with the current diahatsu terios.
October 19, 2007 @ 9:45 pm
more pleasing than the funky bit original, i guess

isnt that the bloody daihatsu small mim-me rav4 we can see in singapore
October 19, 2007 @ 10:14 pm
Looks kinda hapy and friendly… although I kinda like the original’s ’slight’ garangness… btw i see lots of them driving around frm singapore
October 19, 2007 @ 10:21 pm
anyting is beter than the curent one anyway…the one we have now is so junk…bt ive seen few with toyota badge with singapore number…looks like a mini rav4…quite ok….i tink it was a 1.3cc…nt sure if that was a short ot long wheelbase version
October 20, 2007 @ 2:30 am
the size, theme and rear looks very very much alike the Suzuki SX4…
October 20, 2007 @ 2:34 am
Myvi design works spot on. Putting big wheels on and making it look higher is bad. Good try on the photoshop. P2 designers take note. Don’t do this kind of design just to save money on parts
October 20, 2007 @ 5:28 am
MyVi front look weird!
Theo, since Proton intend to introduce NPV in 2009, any artist impression!
October 20, 2007 @ 10:02 am
Suitable 2 all ladies!
October 20, 2007 @ 10:44 am
well, not very nice but still acceptable….
October 20, 2007 @ 11:54 am
Looks like a 4×4 myvi. Should change the name from KEMBARA to MENGEMBARA. Hee! Hee!
October 20, 2007 @ 1:38 pm
Change from Kembara to MyAllWheel.
October 20, 2007 @ 2:23 pm
with its original size(not the LWB), and P2 tweaks, its looks very Girlie!
its a very small car indeed! Saw this in Daihatsu and Toyota before, still kembara size(with minor enlargement)!
October 20, 2007 @ 3:13 pm
Its based on Daihatsu Terios and Toyota Rush..Theo just change the front a bit. 9with myvi parts of course.)
October 20, 2007 @ 4:04 pm
i think it looks cool except 4 the front design, myvi front design. Overall it looks cool. After kembara which model will be replaced after this?
October 20, 2007 @ 4:07 pm
what’s it’s estimated price ? (sounds like interested to buy this kembara but i’ve falled in love with the new vios)
October 21, 2007 @ 1:17 am
So ugly??? crazy design
October 21, 2007 @ 1:17 am
So ugly??? crazy design
October 22, 2007 @ 9:43 am
Hey, not trying to defend myself lah but “ugly”? Frankly, is it “ugly”? Or just not your cup of tea mate?
Well, I believe there are less pleasing looking cars in the market you’ve not seen.
“Crazy”? The thing is, let’s say this is the official picture of a Toyota, or Daihatsu, will there be such comments? THINK!
*sigh*, what a start to my Monday morning.
October 22, 2007 @ 9:45 am
And I was doing the MPV based on the Gen2. Now I’ll think twice before sending them to Paul. Sorry BigFish.
I used to think people here post constructive comments.
October 22, 2007 @ 10:13 am
Hi Paul,
I have got pictures of a Toyota version of this lower scale 4WD taken when I was in Indonesia. I suppose Perodua will use the same version for local market. How can I send the pictures to you?
October 22, 2007 @ 12:19 pm
i think if front is kenari sure cun…
October 22, 2007 @ 12:50 pm
why they don’t make the front as same as daihatsu terios? it will looks great…1.5 engine…okokla…if i the price below rm65000, i will be interesting to get one…mini suv!
October 22, 2007 @ 7:27 pm
Very nice. I think perodua should consider this u know, make it an original perodua, not just rebadging daihatsus anymore. And whats wrong wit the front.? I thought many malaysians like myvi?
October 23, 2007 @ 12:11 pm

stay calm guys, it just an artist’s impression.
October 23, 2007 @ 5:27 pm
Not bad, maybe a more ‘garang’ look will be good…a bigger grille maybe..or maybe a less Myvi’s front lights…just my opinion..
October 23, 2007 @ 6:26 pm
Good news. Perodua really need a new kembara design to replace the old outdated current kembara.
October 24, 2007 @ 9:36 am
YES…IT IS A GOOD IMAGINATION OF NEXT PERODUA KEMBARA…BUT HOPEFULLY PERODUA WILL DO SOMETHING 2 MAKE DIFFRENT DSIGN FRM TERIOS… ONLY CUT N PASTE… NOT CREATIVE AT ALL…. NICE JOB FROM U THEO…. BUT IF PERODUA STILL MAKE COPYING 100 PRCENT FRM DAIHATSU…WE CANT CALL PERODUA AS MALAYSIAN CAR…
October 24, 2007 @ 11:57 am
One more thing, i bet there will be no more Kembara kind of name. Perodua is going to call their new product with a new name…that’s for sure. MyVi -> ViVa -> Va….?
_________________________________________________________________________
i think they will call it VaVi a.k.a Babi…
January 2, 2008 @ 5:29 pm
Price of Perodua cars be high coz of intelligent technology by Daihatsu, but the important is size…just my comment.
January 8, 2008 @ 5:34 am
THIS NEW KEMBARA LAUCHING IN JUN BETTER BECAUSE CAR SELLING MARKET VERY LOW IN JUN.THAN CAN MAKE THE MARKET POWERFUL
I HOPE IS KEMBARA GOT 1.3 & 1.5 MUST BE BEST SELLING IN MARKET
May 13, 2008 @ 2:54 pm
