Perodua launched its first Body & Paint Hub, Myvi exclusive edition and MPV to be revealed soon!
Perodua has officially launched its very first Body and Paint Hub (B&P) in Subang Jaya earlier today and along the with launch, the auto maker announced that it will introduce an exclusive version of the Perodua Myvi on October 24th. The limited edition compact hatch will be launched in showrooms nationwide.
The auto maker also announced that the highly-anticipated MPV (codenamed Perodua D46T) will be launched at the end of next month and bookings can be made at the beginning of the month. Pricing for the D46T which is based on the Toyota Passo Sette will be set between RM56,000 to RM65,000.
The above mentioned B&P Hub and Service Centre costs RM 6 million and is located at Taman Perindustrian Subang. Perodua also revealed that four more hubs will be built by 2012. Each hub will cost between RM 4 million and RM 6 million. Two hubs will be built in the northern and southern regions while two more will be made available in the Klang valley by next year.
Services offered at the 5,159 sq. meter B&P Hub in Subang Jaya include collision repair, spray painting, vehicle servicing and the sale of spare parts. The hub has 35 bays for collision repair, body aligners, four spray booths and three ovens.
According to Perodua, the hub can service up to 2,500 units per month compared to 1,500 units at the Jalan SS13/5 service outlet. This outlet will continue to operate until July next year and thereafter the operations will be relocated to the Subang Jaya B&P Hub and Service Centre.
The auto maker expects overall service intakes to increase to 1.5 million this year from 1.37 million intakes in 2008. For the nine month up to September, Perodua service outlets have recorded a total of 1.2 million intakes. Continue reading to view an image gallery of the B&P Hub and Service Centre in Subang Jaya.

October 20, 2009 @ 3:02 pm
who knows, the MyVi will be like another Saga…lasted for 22 years..keep on facelifting…hahahah..
October 20, 2009 @ 3:02 pm

October 20, 2009 @ 3:05 pm
PRICE Would be cheaper or same?..

To the first fella who claims Perodua car as rubbish in above posts, you are fantastic and I’d like to give others a chance to rate you:
[A] The person is rubbish,
[B] The person talks rubbish,
[C] The person know nuts what rubbish can do,
[D] The person contributing nothing but rubbish posts and comments
[E] All the above.
Nothing personal but based on what you say, here’s my [E] for you.
October 20, 2009 @ 3:13 pm
Why there are so many toyatas compared to single perodua in parking bay?
October 20, 2009 @ 3:20 pm
perodua=toyota remember? so mostly the bosses will use toyota as their official vehicle..and syed hafiz use lexus.
October 20, 2009 @ 3:29 pm
Haihz…so sien…how many times already the Myvi was facelifted?
Recap of Myvi Evolution:
Launched in 2005 ->then introduce SE (forgotten what year) -> Facelifted -> Facelifted with SE version -> Exclusive Version/ limited edition (Now)—>What’s next? Maybe Infinity’s right
Hopefully the last pic (with the guy doing something on the badge, Myvi side headlamps with blue coloured lights) is not the exclusive version! Perodua MPV was also teased in Deepavali print ads.
Btw, I wonder who uses the non UMW/Toyota/Perodua group car, the Accord (on the most left of the first picture).
October 20, 2009 @ 3:31 pm
damn it….where’s ours in east msia? our local paint shops are just a bunch of crappies. good for nothing bums who sprays without care but only for their pockets.
btw, i know daihatsu is one of toyota’s SBU, but why is there a row of high end toyotas in front of Perodua’s new hub?there should be a row of peroduas there instead of only one. nautica also high end ma considering the price of one unit. in Miri, Swak, up til today, there’s one nautica but itupun foreigner beli punya and seen it once only, then disappear. now thats a car worth buying if you’re looking forward to be unique.
October 20, 2009 @ 3:33 pm
I heard many times about Myvi buyers being dumb, stupid, idiot..etc. Most of these people who bought the car had nothing else to select from within their budget. Its not that we r so poor, but again, its the price structure here in Msia that limits the low & mid income people. The salemen dont really need to milk it, people would come bcos they have no choice.
The scenario is always if u dont buy Myvi, u gotta see what Proton has to offer, or try some alternatives from low-end Korean cars. So, dont simply label consumers as dumb, in fact all of us r dumb enough for allowing this restriction to prolong to a level that it has brainwashed our brain into thinking that car ownership is something so hard, so money-consuming, like a marriage..
Btw, congrats to P2 for the opening of this facility. Hope the charges r reasonable.
October 20, 2009 @ 3:43 pm
no no no, Another Myvi ELITE!!!
October 20, 2009 @ 3:48 pm
Aiseh..how many version of myvi?
October 20, 2009 @ 4:07 pm
YEah….myvi rulez!!!
October 20, 2009 @ 4:08 pm
Hi Paul,
Any idea on any spyshots on the limited edition myvi?
October 20, 2009 @ 4:27 pm
i hope that the steering wheel of the limited MYVI does not look like the MPV.
It’s actually ugly.
Perodua is just a name. So that Malaysia can sell Toyota car in lower price.
Sound a little bit lie on myself.
But i LOVE Myvi !
October 20, 2009 @ 4:28 pm
I OWN MYVI AND VIVA… MAYBE 2011 CHANGE TO EXORA TURBO… ENOUGH WITH PERODUA….

Can you repair a collided vehicle? I though tthe structure was too weak to whitstand another collision. All crumple zones, pillars gone. I’, a bit worried if the chop shop is legalised like this. Can someone explain?
October 20, 2009 @ 4:49 pm
Wah..so many Toyota and lexus outside. See those kemek-kemek viva at the D-pillar. Can it pass PUSPAKOM inspection after this. Should be more ketuk2 shop like this from Perodua and other brand. We will get a quality assurance for their work.

——————————-
There will also be a tolerant level where a car can be reapired or totally junk. I’m sure Perodua being a responsible company will not allow a junk car to be repair. This is not a chop shop.
here, no part will be knocked (other than the chasis), but replaced with new part. So, if your car is less than 5 years old, better send here. If more than 5 years, prepare to pay betterment.
October 20, 2009 @ 5:30 pm
this body shop can repair your vehicle up to almost 99% like new…if your car happened to involve in accident , and need a major repair (not up to scrap level)…send to this centre…you will be satisfied . But you need to check , up till what year they can accept…if not i am not mistaken , usually up to 5 years.
insurance company usually can reimburse/approve if the repair job is done by the manufacturer itself.100% genuine parts guaranteed.
no knocking…they will replace the whole affected panel…easy laar….just unweld the spot weld and respot weld…
October 20, 2009 @ 5:38 pm
If perodua launch it’s MPV, wat wil happen to Avanza? Price about the same yet Avanza 1.3 Manual already cost RM62k. I guess Perodua is not offering any 1.3 option rite?
October 20, 2009 @ 5:46 pm

good strategy to add income..so proton should have one with similar concept like this..if we look at the percent of old wira and iswara on the road,i think proton can make big money from this..introduced exclusive colour like what toyota did with the pearl white..for sure bole cari makan punye
October 20, 2009 @ 6:09 pm
I second that tttuuuutttt !!
I detest Perodua, for some reason. Those crashed viva’s make me ill.

I’m about to buy a MyVi, just nice this MyVi Limited Edition comes out. Can’t wait! ^_^
October 20, 2009 @ 6:41 pm
i rasa P2 boleh buat kereta sendiri dgn syarat major holder kenala local.then gomen support bg subsidi tax,money sure can..skrg Daihatsu and Toyota pegang,ingat diaorg bagi ke P2 bersaing ngn diaorg sendiri? ada duit,upah LG ke design house mana2 design then settle..tapi camana pun let the young engineers learn before that stage la

you are listing a true perodua owner type.
nothing personal, it’s how true they are.

I see Toyotanisation , that’s how Japan infiltrate a country. The World War 3 = Economy War.
October 20, 2009 @ 6:50 pm
I know a person who hates perodua so much since their inception and since the 1st kancil rolls out, every conversation when it involves perodua, he will hentam like no tomorrow with the face expression to boot as well… if you want any dirt on perodua, i’m sure he’ll be the first to know and rant about it…
however, the irony is, he bought a myvi for his univ going daughter very recently… and ever since he’s being very quiet about perodua…hmm.. go figure.
just my 2 cents, perodua owners are not dumb, matter of fact they are smart, smart to know that cars are not a sound investment regardless how canggih nor smart the car is. yes, if you have the money, splurge yourself,its your money for crying out loud,who gives a crap (plus you’re contributing to the 200% excise duty coffer anyhow, makes the MOF happy what.)…but would it make any of us the common rakyat dumber by buying perodua?? no… we are just smarter, so that we can retire and enjoy our retirement debt free.
October 20, 2009 @ 7:43 pm
Forgive me Myvi and Viva users, just my two cents, i think that the Myvi and Viva are simply overpriced.

…………………………………………………………………………………………….
Perodua announced that there will be a MYVI replacement model come 2010 as the current models have a 5 year lifespan. Read-lah more don’t just
write rubbish. Only Proton has no vision & do facelift just look at the Waja,Perdana,Savvy,Gen2 every one sick and tired of the same old model.
October 20, 2009 @ 8:12 pm
wah another version of myvi. think they really extend the line too much man.
but i cannot wait for the perodua mpv to come out and screw the avanza upside down.
sick of seeing that piece of crap on the road. shouldn’t even be sold as its pretty much a moving coffin.
October 20, 2009 @ 8:16 pm
p2 go to far,they want use myvi squeeze ppl money wit various type /.\ i own myvi se but never special again Popo

……………………………………………………………………………………………….
Avanza has been on the road since 2005 so its about time Toyota
bring in a newer model after the P2 mpv is launched. What has been the
fatality rate of Avanza drivers? Being a taller car i don’t believe that it
would be a hazard in fact the driver wld get a better view when driving
i own a Jap mpv so i know what i’m talking abt.If u want crap & coffin then look at Arena & Juara those are perfect examples!

October 20, 2009 @ 9:08 pm
summary from those malaysian comments in this site as what I can see so far:
Those who afford a better car than perodua car, will say perodua car crap.
Those who can’t afford a perodua car, will say it overpriced
Those who afford a perodua car, will say it is a smart choice.
The end of the day, all of the above just “syok sendiri”. Btw, syok sendiri is enough but stop assuming others to think like you, if you get what I mean.
I owned perodua (kancil, kelisa, myvi), proton (gen2), toyota (camry), honda (civic, accord), mazda (mazda3) all are good cars, none of any of them is the best.
perodua is cheaper and worth for money, proton is bigger size and cheap but not so worth for money, toyota luxury but quality so so only (local assembled car will have Q issue), honda nice fierce looking but quality so so only (local assembled car will have Q issue), mazda so far so good but expensive (mazda 3).
Don’t think Toyota or Honda car is always better, actually most of their models are locally assembled, I have issue like small noise in compartment, disc brake wrapped, reclaimed, wrap again (happened to accord and camry)…..
October 20, 2009 @ 9:15 pm
how about a Myvi sedan with a 1.5 engine…
rather than keep on facelifting only…
that’s better i guess…
Myvi is already spacious compared to Proton cars,
just lacking the practicality by not having a larger boot.
but surely the govt wont allow Perodua to ‘kacau’ into Proton market.

i dont know about you but I think viva, especially, is overpriced. just shut the door of the car and you can tell the emptiness or empty-TINness. hahaha cekik darah betul… luckily myvi is good.
October 20, 2009 @ 10:37 pm
shiok sendiri… that’s a good one!…hehehhehe
October 20, 2009 @ 10:50 pm
Its just had to happen eh,anything about Perodua and all these so called “Proton” supporters will come in .
I guess its just human nature to purposely ANTI something when it has been very very successful like MYVI.
So to all those Proton fans out there,if other ppl is successfull,just be happy for them and cut the crap cause you guys are just jealous.
The same goes to Manchester United,alot of people hate MU,why? Cause they have been very very sucessfull!
Simple as that.
October 20, 2009 @ 10:53 pm
yep..so far i think viva is a bit overpriced. but for myvi, i guess it’s ok.
October 20, 2009 @ 11:00 pm
1 Accord, 3 Camry,1 Rush and 1 LS460 in front of Perodua hub.
Hahaha, what a sight.
October 20, 2009 @ 11:39 pm
every car is overpriced in mesia…compare it with normal people salary. It becomes affordable only after brilliant 9 years loan facility…
Can’t wait for this MyVi SE Limited Edition…wow, great.
October 20, 2009 @ 11:42 pm
Maserati,
No lah, people just disgusted with so called glory hunters in MU fan base…. that’s all, nothing to do with jealousy of success at all…right, looserfool’s supporters?
October 20, 2009 @ 11:51 pm
maybe they will come out with a myvi 1.5?

no knocking? how to replace e.g outer side profile panel if like viva in the photos? it’s unlikely as you say and look to photos which damage body is attached with yellow hook and pulling chain.
Perodua are just too smart in maketing. With this center they will create another source of income generated by sales dept by convincing potential customer that their car can be repaired with manufacturer guarantee if involves in accident.
It’s good for malaysian as another new job has been created and stimulate our country economy.
October 21, 2009 @ 7:14 am
MyVi again? Owhh, common la… MyVi Ex la, MyVi Ez la, MyVi SE la, and now MyVi Exclusive… I think as long as Daihatsu or Toyota didn’t come out with a new version of Passo, I think Perodua will keep facelifting their MyVi… Please laa.. boring laa… It’s too saturated on the road. Adui, common laa… I can’t deny MyVi is quite good car, but if you eat nasi lemak everyday but with different lauk pun, you get bored & fed up… Aduhai Perodua….
This coming MPV I dont know whether can go or not, but as long as Perodua have its loyal fans, I think bole laa… bear in mind, demand of Exora is sky rocketting & I find my cousin & a friend of mine really satisfied with their Exora. Watever la… Perodua good luck for your MPV but please… no more MyVi… bosan la brader…
October 21, 2009 @ 7:17 am
Great move from P2!!
October 21, 2009 @ 8:03 am
Paul, yesterday there’s a story Syed Hafiz will not renewed his contract with Perodua. I think he already senses that the Perodua not-so MPV will lost it sale to Exora. I think so.
October 21, 2009 @ 8:05 am
Most probably P2 will just has a unique paint colour matching for the Limited version on myvi, don’t think so they will have new facelift.
October 21, 2009 @ 8:14 am
V8 4.2L for my myVi pls…

yeah … perodua factory but toyota cars =.=
October 21, 2009 @ 9:35 am
I think this new Myvi is more refine(in terms of styling)
most ‘older’ buyer disslike the design fluid of Myvi SE..
just like Viva Elite.

Great post bro and I’m totally agreed with u!! Bravo! Spot on!
Seriously, Perodua buyers ain’t DUMB but…the only DUMB person is the person who post a DUMB statement (with no points to back it up)!!!
October 21, 2009 @ 1:16 pm
DUMB and DUMBER (:-
October 21, 2009 @ 1:46 pm
Just a rhetorical question; should Proton have looking into this idea a Loooong time ago to boost it’s after sales services?
Rather they invested millions of RM & dozens of engineers to produce the Campro cps which is almost a decade old technology & still have yet to rectify built quality after almost 25 years in the business.
October 21, 2009 @ 2:54 pm
i think we should not compare avanza and this perodua MPV…avanza is a bigger MPV..it is a people mover, whereas this perodua MPV is a MyVi with luggage space and if needed, can put in 2 more ppl…
October 21, 2009 @ 3:26 pm
Myvi SE are everywhere.
Everywhere I mean everywhere.
Like in a one lane housing area, there’s 5 SE’s.
How’s that for a change. I’d rather get a normal one. lol
October 21, 2009 @ 4:18 pm
The New myvi Exclusive is the same like Myvi SE facelift…but just change the color… Dark Purple color..(refer picture Perodua MPV purple color)
October 21, 2009 @ 4:19 pm
P2 quality is good, other than tat is rubbish and dumb. Tats it. Of course the car not the owner larr. Try proton and youll be amazed. Im serious & Im not selling car.

Face it..the only reason why Myvi can have be so popular with so many supporters and priced at most executives can earn for a year’s salary are because :
1) The other “P” on the market where quality and reliability is questionable. No doubt they’re improving but do you want to spend your hard earned $ as their experimental funding for taking their own sweet time to think bout what to improve with virtually not taking any feedback from the owners?
2) This is a product position in the market. At this range, what’s better than Myvi? The next closest car would be Toyota Vios variant J. This is the maximum price Perodua can charge for such offering where anymore expensive, it’s not competitive anymore. So how to avoid it to be associated with low priced no frill automobile? By placing the Viva, aka Mira which is latest incarnation of the Kancil we’ve been growing up with. Where’s Kelisa DIRECT replacement? Certainly not Viva, give both cars a drive to and from some winding road you’ll know Viva isnt the “improved” version of Kelisa. It’s just there stretched to cover the gap of Kancil and Kelisa so Perodua can continue to sell what should be Kelisa’s replacement, Myvi the premium enjoyed.
So what’s the point here? Well, the point is we as the average consumers will continue to buy what we can afford and happily all the manufacturers like Perodua will be reaping in handsome profit selling us things that’s not even worth 70% of it’s value. The question would be :
1) Can you justify a 50k worth of car with no side mirror folding feature where the cheaper Viva has it?
2) Can you justify a 50k worth of car with 1.3L engine with petrol consumption equavalent or worse than a 1.5L Vios/City?
3) Can you justify a 50k worth of car with drum brake when it can reach over 100km/hour?
4) Can you justify a 50k worth of car with they SE edition now has SSE edition coming with more premium to ask for?
An improvement of a new model comes with increased asking price is as good as upgrading to the next better model with higher selling price.
Now..ever wonder why there’re so many models available in Japan from a manufacturer compared to the same manufacturer of their offering locally?

Dear Will Smith..
With 50k, we can ask for more, not a crap sound system.
I miss Kelisa, with its good cornering, acceleration and sharp u-turn!!
I think in par with Kelisa sharp u-turn is Harrier!!

@ Viva Elite user ….
Aloooo brader.. tho i’m always rooting for P1… i just wanna sat this…you want to complain and want response from perodua go complain to their SC la… you complain here ofcoz la no response from perodua ppl…. hehehe
October 22, 2009 @ 10:13 am
@ Viva Elite user: This is a car blog. Not Perodua service center. Call Perodua or drive to nearest SC to complain.

Sure we dont mind a better ICE system and rear disc brakes with 1.5L engine and this should be the limited edition should be and priced no more than 55k…not different set of alloy rim, carbon fibre work out and funky color scheme. That’s dirt cheap trick and a disgrace to all the Malaysians.
The weird trend in Malaysia which the manufacturers is taking advantage of is we’re willing to spend a 50k worth of $ to buy a car with such spec yet spend another 5 – 10k for ICE, body kits, alloy rims and even changeover of the body color!! So why bother to introduce more models where it makes them have to carry more parts thus higher warehousing costs, training costs, higher inventories and more complex production lines. In modern manufacturing, Toyota, aka. Daihatsu/Perodua should be capable of BTO/CTO models like what consumers of overseas countries are getting right down the color, equipment and engine config. Where’s all these in Malaysia? How much cost saving they got from such streamlined production line? Is it passed to consumers or for buying those Accords, Camrys and Lexus for the plush butts of the bosses? Shouldnt they be driving Viva, Myvi, Nautica as well for showing the confidence and support in their own products?

my first car is kancil, then change to wira, then kelisa, and now myvi auto. basically i’m happy with these cars and not much problem given to me.
but frankly speaking the maintenance cost for wira is a bit higher than perodua cars. other than that, i’m happy with what i drove and what i’m driving now.
we buy the cars that we afford to buy. if budget allow, we can consider to change to a bigger car.every car has its pros and cons. as a wise consumer we should know what and when to buy, right?
anyway, after i settled my housing loan few years later, guess it’s time for me to buy my dream car –> toyota wish =)
happy driving.

You should ask your passengers to pay for your new doors kot. Tutup pintu sampai GEDEGANG!
October 22, 2009 @ 7:37 pm
Of course the sound of the door sounds empty – because it is! Do you expect Camry quality for a cheap, yet expensive car?
October 22, 2009 @ 7:43 pm
Another thing – of course Perodua top management uses Toyotas – they feared for their lives if they are using Perodua cars. They know exactly what goes inside the body structure of the cars, and what isn’t, since they are working there. So they concluded that it is not safe enough for their lives or their loved ones. Other Perodua buyers, who cares, as long they make a handsome margin. Face the hard truth people.
October 22, 2009 @ 8:40 pm
hey leornardo why u so sore with perodua?
as a top management would you drive a viva or myvi
when you are provided with co car from perodua parent co Toyota?
Pakai otak sikit lah these are all co cars so definately at that managementl
level u are provided the best. Have u seen our top ministers using Waja Exora
or even Perdana? bro, they using merc & bmw’s.-is it status or safety? – both!!
even tun badawi dumped his waja for a 7 series!!!

=======================================
its not the door design.
On the contrary maybe we should educate the Malaysian attitude
that a car door need not be slammed. It all stated from Proton Saga era
which until today does not have that solid -thud sound when closing.
-causing the majority of msian slamming the door instead.

i got info from P2 salesman: estimated price for full spec auto is RM 64K & medium spec auto is RM59K(without ABS, EDB, airbag & …). I’m not interested to ask manual version coz that sales man said gear position same as others sedan car & used handbrake.
To all P2 salesmen, please correct me if I’m wrong & not hesitate to share your info here….
