A teaser site for the Perodua Nautica 4WD is now up, and it gives us a sneak preview of some features of the upcoming Perodua Nautica 4WD, although key exterior design features like how the front grille, front bumper and rear bumper will look like remains hidden. What we can confirm from the silhouette of the car is that it will be a short wheelbase version of the Daihatsu Terios/Toyota Rush.

The interior shows a clean white on black meter panel design, manual air conditioning (I had hoped for automatic climate control because of its premium price positioning and Japan CBU import status), and an integrated CD player as opposed to the Toyota Rush‘s 1-DIN or 2-DIN CD player, depending on trim level.

The headlamps from the original car have been retained, and the Perodua Nautica 4WD gets the projector lense variant. Only the top spec Toyota Rush has projector headlamps, while the low and mid-range models use reflector headlamps.

An interior with a dark-colour scheme is used, and here we see fabric seats. The short wheelbase version of this car is a 5-seater.

Here we see a 5-spoke alloy wheel design.
There is a counter on the teaser site which counts down 9 days and 10 hours to the Nautica’s launch as of today, so the expected launch date should be on the second Friday of next month, which is the 9th of May 2008.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express concern over the high price range of RM90k-RM95k, feeling it’s overpriced compared to rivals like Toyota Rush, especially given it’s a 5-seater with a 1.5L engine that consumes more fuel. Many criticize the car's value proposition, interior features, and the decision to bring in a CBU as potentially unnecessary for the Malaysian market. Some note the vehicle's similarities to the Rush and express doubts about its practicality and competitiveness. There are also mentions of past issues with Perodua’s quality control and defects, leading to skepticism. Overall, sentiments lean towards disappointment, with many considering the Nautica an unworthy or overly expensive option, and some fear it may fail commercially.
