For a tiny carmaker in mature market like the UK, finding your own niche is important. Rawang-based Perodua is making an attempt at the disabled community via the Motability Scheme, which enables disabled people to exchange either their Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance or their War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement to obtain a new car.
The deal is for the Myvi, Malaysia’s best selling car that competes in the ultra-competitive supermini market in the UK. The Malaysian-made five-door hatch is available on the Motability Car Scheme from as little as £47.22 (RM232) per week. The package includes insurance, servicing and maintenance, full RAC breakdown assistance, annual car tax and tyre/windscreen replacement over the course a three-year lease.
Besides standard kit like power windows, electrically adjustable door mirrors, dual airbags, ABS and EBD, Perodua is throwing in a choice of metallic or high gloss paint at no extra cost and the option of having reverse park control supplied and fitted free of charge. If one opts for the Glittering Silver manual Myvi SXI, free 14-inch “Milano Titanium” alloys are also included, while stocks last. These exclusive Motability offers are for orders made before September 30.
Short of a specially modified car, I can imagine that the Myvi would make a good set of wheels for the less mobile. Not only is the Perodua effortless to drive, with great visibility and light controls, headroom is generous and those doors open very wide.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
P2 sold 761 cars in the UK in 2010, in a two million car market. Why do they bother? They probaby lost money on every car sold there.
*tumbleweed rolling*
tin milo car for disable ppl?…yeah right
Only someone who knows nothing about engineering will use “tin milo” terms.
I think you don’t even know what kind of material does Milo can made of. Jaguh kampung.
**I don’t own a Perodua. And I’m not Perodua salesman.
Safety wise,yes,Milo Tin Works.
But what about langgar a little bit already kemek for routine use ??
Kemek only? This thing can fly to the moon, man!
Even a BMW 5-series will kemek if kena langgar.. Did you use your brain while typing?
BMW will kemek in style,….. Perodua will kemek like coca cola can. Totally embarassing to own a perodua.The car made for the bottom feeders of malaysian society.
How about Malaysian OKU?
hahahaha they so despo for sales la
Perodua SG sold ZERO cars in May, June & July this year. YTD fig = 7 (not 7k, it’s SEVEN). Probably another kosong this month.
truly jaguh kampong huh….
why would Perodua/Proton spend so much to market their Made for Malaysian product? there is no economical sense, what oath did proton/perodua promise in the past to carry this burden? and to who?
Must be their huge ego to not admit defeat…or embarrassed themselves by any mean that they are resorting to this pathetic strategy targeting OKUs. Poor P2, what have Malaysians done to deserve this?
finally Perodua sells its car to the right consumer segment….THE HANDICAPPED!
Why we Malaysian don’t enjoy the UK spec at low price here as standard acc. So sad we are made like goats here. Perodua great supporters comes from Malaysia not UK ler.
