Since we wrote about it this morning, the leak has become bigger, and we now have the complete set of the alleged Perodua Jaguh brochure for our scrutiny. New photos, more speculation on whether they may be real or not. Let’s take a closer look, shall we?
The front shot that was leaked earlier showed a lightly modified Toyota Etios sedan with a Perodua face. The bits that appeared different compared to the Toyota original were the front grille (slimmer, with a Perodua badge), Myvi-style pull-type door handles and of course, the Alza-sourced alloy wheels.
Now a rear shot has emerged, and here again the sedan looks almost identical to the Etios, right down to the full-width chrome strip and the exact same light graphics. The only thing changed is the badge, which now features Perodua’s P rather than Toyota’s T. Oh, and the fuel filler cap is on the right side, whereas Peroduas and Toyotas usually have them on the left. Perhaps we’re looking at a selfie.
Quite a lot of other details don’t quite add up, adding to the MyVAP and sliding second-row seats (suggesting that there are more than two rows here; otherwise they’d be referred to as the back or rear seats) irregularities we mentioned earlier. The new pictures add more holes to the brochure’s already fragile claim of authenticity.
In the washed-out pictures, you can just about see that the red interior (rather bold for a Perodua, don’t you think?) has a manual shifter. The Toyota Etios is only available with a five-speed manual gearbox, yet it seems unlikely that Perodua would launch a manual-only new model, especially in what will is to be the flagship vehicle in its lineup. It’s also worth noting that Perodua only utilises studio shots in all its brochures.
The blurry-to-the-point-of-being-illegible spec sheet doesn’t show much either, other than the model variation names – J, G, V and VX – which is similar to the grade structure used by Toyota. Needless to say, Perodua has its own unique set of variant grades.
Another obvious anomaly is the fact that the Jaguh looks like a simple rebadge job both inside and out, unlike the more thorough re-engineering work we’ve come to expect from Perodua of late. And let’s not forget the fact that the Jaguh name has been previously ‘assigned’, in this case to Modenas for its 175 cc cruiser.
Seen as a whole, all the clues cast serious doubts over this ‘leak’. Real or not, looks like someone put in a lot of effort into these materials, which at the very least should stand as a good preview (if not an official leak it’s said to be) of the real Perodua sedan, should the car really be based on the Toyota Etios.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
perodua brochures wont use real photos of the car with backdrop on the main page anyway
Perodua Jaguh Kampung!! wahaha.. i dont think this is the real thing, if it is, seems like they run out of ideas?
if below RM50K price it’ll sell like hot cake 4000 units per month
This better not be real, the front looks alright but the rear is depressing, and with the name “Jaguh” it sounds more like a malaysian homegrown Jaguar. Worst ever name in all Perodua’s cars
This car is suitable for Perodua. Just as ugly as all of their cars.
here’s your first thumbs down!
Sounds like a troll name..aimed at PT reviewers who called them jaguh kampung. Must be a frequent visitor here.
Hahaha…
It’s another perfect job from theophiluschin. Well done! I’m sure theophiluschin work hard to make this brochure^^
Below are the real pictures of this brochure:

Perodua Jaguh Is An Elaborated Hoax
http://www.theophiluschin.com/?p=5335
wah very fast i just saw this online
the rear looks exactly like renault logan
Hell yeah! its ugly…rear view especially..
Nice Front and Cataraman roof Top.
Manual Specs
0-100 = 10.6 S
City driving = 16.5km/L.
Max Torque performance @ 3100rpm allowing this output.
Auto:: no info.
Expecting at 14.5km/L.
1500cc, this is better then Myvi 1300cc @ 14km/L
and Saga 1300cc @ 11km/L.
cannot be better than other yet due to the model doesnt exist..
the ass is…….is so sorry…..
the name is even sorrier…
Leak or not leak! Its live up to the name “Jaguh”! next special edition with “Kampung-series”!
later you bash somebody who use cayenne even if he produced cars that called jaguh kampung, lol
better you work hard to get rich rather than bashing anyone that is much much more successful than you. it’s just wasting your time.
get a life dude!
bashing something that’s actually a hoax and not bothered to verify its authenticity..
this fella is truly a pure blood ignorant basher full of hatred in his black heart..
A rubbish packaging, can send to land reclamation.
Theophilus, stop teasing the public…hahaha..
Eventhough I’m NOT a fan of Perodua cars but I admit that they do a good job in rebadging and redesign Toyota/Daihatsu cars..but I doubt this Jaguh will be in production..it’s too ugly for Perodua already lineups..
who cares, still a perodua
Whoa man, I’m guessing you’re driving a Rolls-Royce as your everyday car? Now, even if you do, don’t bore yourself on posts that don’t interest you and bother on writing cocky selfless comments when no one asked you to, ok? Cheers
So true however, i think people can say whatever they want n keep dreaming bcoz in the end nothing is perfect. If there were this perfect car in your eyes well, can u afford it?
What is really interesting is the grade marks. Normally Perodua starts at EZ and SX, then up to EZi and SXi, the the Premium. This uses J, G, V and VX (i think, the last one is not clear) which is new. And there seems to be keyless entry? The brochure seems VERY convincing now.
But wait. Zoom in to the pic with the aerial view of the gold car. There is a pic of the steering. It looks 100% same as the existing Vios one. Very sure P2 is not using the exact same steering as the Vios, even on existing models.
Needless to say, Perodua has its own unique set of variant grades.
and until after 8 years no one bothered to tell Perodua that small letter ‘i’ is generally known for EFI.
where else in Perodua case, ‘i’ means safety luxury as in the difference between SX and SXi, or EZ and EZi.
Proton was a little clever though with the Saga Special or ‘I’ for Istimewa in capital letter.
looks like the old vauxhall astra rear end….or some Dacia budget model….anyway who cares
Why don’t rebadge Terios for 4wd for the next generation of Kembara, this one ,oh no! Especially the back side, people will change to evolution type
You forgot about the “Naughty car”?
not sold like hot cakes
1st, it is fake.
2nd, as for nautica issue,perodua bring that car just for 1.5l engine,that car just a reason to take the engine for alza n new myvi.
Rear looks like a mini Chrysler.
the rear logo is not in shape !!
i think it is a product from PS instead of P2
for those said it was ugly, its from toyota etios..now go bash toyota please..
yep, people shouldn’t bash it because Toyota has a track record in coming out with beautiful cars.
No wait….thats not it, is it?
I think I have difficulty actually naming 5 good looking toyota cars since 1980.
I can only make up 3, the MR2 SW20, the Celica T230, the last Caldina, and while the Supra IV was a marvel of engineering, it looked like a melted jelly bean in stock unmodified form. They have even managed to make the GT86 somewhat bland for a bespoke sporting model.
Nmae 5 ugly toyota cars:
vios dugong, etios, previous altis/corolla, passo (myvi) and townbox (alza)
wow it’s so easy

eh? i think preve should be on the top of the list…very problematic less than 1 year usage…sorry not to bash, coz i’m one of the unLUCKY owner
I can name problematic beemer cars:
all because BMW is banyak masyuk worksyop, haha!
Is that sound familiar?
Thanks god, my V6 not in the list
Cerita sudah basi la slowpoke.
Perodua…pls change the name so that it doesn’t sounds so “kampong-ish”. Jagoh, Pagoh, Jagong !!
The name reminds me of Proton’s failed product: Proton Juara.
Perodua Jaguh or Jagung?Perodua, Please create a naming contest for this car
perodua should revert back to using animal name beginning with letter K..
i suggest Perodua Kambing.
I’d prefer Perodua Kodok.
i think its fake..judging by the brochure..its the exact same one as the toyota etios except the front cover has change..
It is not true at all. Every weekend i was in their plant & did not c this model!!! Big lie!!
but there was a myvi sedan, rite? for previous model but the plan was axed by the management.
for all we know,it could just be just an assignment by a design / advertising student.. or is it?
Most likely. Actually this is the best explanation for this brochure.
The red seats reminds me of Proton Wira SE.
P2 go for a better name…much more bold la…
Rather than rebadging the Toyota Etios…. bring in Daihatsu Mebius
The rear design and interior design is worst than Almera ==

P1 have blm so p2 has vlm for value lain model.
Just make a Myvi sedan can?No need copycat toyota la.Make alza 1.6 using Corolla Altis engine and 1.8 using Wish engine.Revive the Nautica with more affordable price.Think this one fake,Perodua dun use Malay names already.
Bashers!
Wait and see, when Saga came out people said the same thing. Ugly and such! You will see how many on the roads in a year. A good option other than Saga FLX S.E.
However?
You remember Modenas JAGUH? Why use the same name? Proton might come out with Proton Kriss next?
no, better example of ugly car but sold like hot cakes is VIOS dugong.
Yea! perodua jagung!
Could it be that this is the initial layout done internally (not a professional graphic designer) as a rough sketch of the future brochure?
I purposely register to say – “That’s an ugly car!!”
This very much is fake, one good reason, if marketing of Perodua approves such hideously done photography of the car, the marketing department head should be fired immediately !
if it is real, I think it is likely to sell well bcos people might see it is a rebadged Toyota. It is most probably runnig with 1300cc initially as not to conflict with Vios 1.5.
It would certainly outplay Myvi if the price is right due to the extra boot. However, the brake lamp is truly awful but perodua would definitely change the lamp into a LED type or something to make it more stunning.
Anyway, I am not going to buy it as Toyota is not my cup of tea….
And I thought last time Nissan Latio Sedan version is the ugliest..
the picture of the car like someone took the picture with a smartphone and paste on the brochure.. i thing, perodua only use this model just to know are there any market for sedan segment..same as the perodua nautica..
The good thing from Perodua is Fuel Consumption…
Well I prefer mini wagon OR mini sport cars from perodua….
remind me of p2 rusa. lol!
God forbid…hope this is mere photoshop works.
Too ugly and Etios is too low taste for our market.
I rather have Vios Mk 1 rebadged as P2 instead of ugly Etios
another floaty car
this might not real. the original etios fuel cap is at the left side and this jaguh is at the right side
Red interiors ARE NOT odd for Perodua. In early 2000 they had black Kenari fitted out with red seats. They were cool!
This is 2013. Aren’t we all using like (at least) a 5MP camera now?
Like some companies in Malaysia related to BN/UMNO Gomen, what a kiss asser should think for name better then Jaguh?….Perodua “1Malaysia” or 1M4U or Pemandu or GTP or i don’t wanna think again..puke..
ade name lain yang lagi senonoh tak?
what a fugly name there.. eaww
When it is in theophilus chin hand, it is fake. he is an automotive manipulator isn’t he? He take a lot of effort on this. By the way, the third photo seem ridiculed. What’s on earth those dimension only applicable for 1.5 Premium variant? Car dimension always the same across the same model.
for people who can’t afford toyota based sedan like vios this is your choice…myvi ok but very litte boot space
stop it theo!!! stop it!!!
april fool has long gone!!!
Please stop giving Tun nightmare
Perodua Jaguh Is An Elaborate Hoax
http://www.theophiluschin.com/?p=5335

‘jaguh’ or ‘jagung’ mostly suitable to the word ‘kampung’…so u like ‘jaguh kampung’ and ‘jagung kampung’?
PERODUA 1st worst design on sedan car & the car name sound like cone”jagung” not jaguh…
