In case you’ve missed it, it’s a go – the Perodua sedan, codenamed D63D, has officially been given the green light, as recently revealed by president and CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid. Now in the prototype stage, Perodua is evaluating the engine, platform and gearbox for the project it’s sort of taking the lead on, since no sedan currently exists in the Daihatsu universe.
The finished product could surface anytime between 2016 and 2018, and will have an upper body designed completely in-house by Perodua. The carmaker is also targeting a five-star NCAP safety rating here – does this mean the sedan will be the first Perodua ever to get electronic stability control (ESC)?
Theophilus Chin has rendered yet another Perodua sedan – his second sedan based on KLIMS13’s Buddyz concept. But while his first Buddyz effort involved very minor tweaks (the car still looked like a concept), this one packs sensible wing mirrors, projector headlamps connected to a slim grille, vertical LED DRLs/fog lamps, a bee-sting antenna, a rear diffuser-like element and a rather generic-looking rump.
Of course, several Buddyz cues remain, such as the tall, angular roofline and the GT-R-like front haunches (I am so sorry, Godzilla fans). The rendering maestro also famously created the Jaguh brochure hoax in 2013, which involved reskinning a Toyota Etios. He has also rendered an A-segment Perodua sedan and one based on the Myvi facelift.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Saga BLM spotted.. :D
I shall buy this car for my son last year. Instead, i bought a junk saga.
I shall….last year. Speechless.
Normal lah. What can we expect from a mentally challenged Toyota salesman.
Why he didn’t get a Vios for his son is the million dollar question.
Habislah Proton, Saga still have no VSC
Habislah, lagi more P2 lagi more ppl die on the road
Nothing to worry coz platform for Saga replacement, Iriz is already around.
I have 3 new Lexus at home and buying another one next month. Work harder before you make comment.
JUst hate the way she smiles at me..
spot-on, the best attempt to adopt GT-R’s fenders..
RIP english…I shall konon
the new perdana,arena,aria,ertiga and exora really awesome
Proton better start selling kapchai or bicycles.
Vios can be discontinued ady
Easily 1 million units sales for Perodua soon.
Anybody with redundant empty car factory better sell it off to Perodua. Need extra factory to meet the huge gigantic demand!
#1JutaPeroduaSedan
This car comes with pajero killing features
No, but it comes with Proton killing features
What feature? Can beat p1 handling? LOL
No. P1 power window problem no.1 in the world. Unbeatable record
O.O
I like the rear lol. Everything looks doable from a manufacturing/profit side except for the front haunches :X
Fat chance Perodua OR Proton will ever give proportional wheels for its cars though. but lets hope they give Theophilus Chin’s render a good look.
This new sedan will easily sells 1 million units success just like Myvi. To meet huge demand, Perodua better rent/buy half-empty factory from Proton.
Perodua buddyz sedan = The end of Proton.
This car comes with pajero killing features
No, but it comes with Proton killing features
You mean those safety features? If they want they could have done it for years
ESP no need. Got ultra garang bodykit to make your car more onz and gaya.
This car must be Euro 4 compliant right? It’s safe then!
It costs money to build a car with proper safety features, and it’s quite likely that Perodua will have to price their sedan in the RM70k-RM80k price range considering the prices of their current offerings with minimal safety features and weak body construction.
Don’t worry about that.
With anticipated demand of 1 million units, maybe Perodua can factored cheaper parts costs by autoparts supplier in advance.
You should be highly confident of your future success by keeping price affordable to rakyat in order to enjoy 1 million car sales.
Tahniah in advance to Perodua for your 1 million units sedan! :muah::muah::love of d nation::

No, but it comes with Proton killing features
SO what? Greedy perutdua will never pass the cost savings fr economies of scale to the customers. They will surely price this from 45k for tin kosong to minimum 69k for full extreme spec. Then it will be obvious how overpriced are perutdua cars compared to proton.
Crysler 300C rear roof. Now to add stancenation 18″ rims.
Soon to be introduced in Malaysia. As usual like their UMW brother, low spec with no ABS. Highest spec at most only ABS with no ESP. (general sentiment: it’s okay la, just drive slowly nothing will happen).
New features: push start button, bluetooth radio, projector headlamps, tissue box compartment, anti snatch hook, gear shift ornaments and other blink blink. (general sentiment: WOW!! P2 the best! So many features!! Proton sux!!)
One week after introduction: hottest selling sedan in Malaysia.
Lesson of the day: Lives are cheap yo! When you treat your life cheaply, so do the corporates!
You should value your lives and choose something else which is value for money. Think of your loved ones, they are waiting for you to come home every day!
What if this sedan also equipped with 6 airbags ESC Traction control?
What excuses craps you will throw again, if rakyat choose to buy it but reject Proton Saga?
You go cry alone inside jamban kah?
In your dream la! P2 with 6 airbags and ESP. LOL… go back to your MyVi and enjoy racing.
The new SEDAN will have 5 star NCAP.
I dig the front, but until perodua fixes the mess up of the Buddyz roofline, it still looks awkward on the side…
No amount of Theophilus fairy dust can mask that mess.
Doesn’t matter at all.
As long as rakyat finally have choice, and it’s no longer monopolised alone by Proton Saga as the sole cheap sedan car.
Here is free market, anybody should be allowed to sell any car that market needs. Those rejected by car buyers better close shop and open new business such as new kilang sambal belacan etc.
This car comes with pajero killing features
No, but it comes with Proton killing features
Eh I thought it’ll only be marketed in India?
P2 need to redesign the body shape n curve line. This design to out dated. Hopefully P2 can offer Twin LED headlamp,rear light bar design, 6 airbags, VSC and affortable price.
When a Perodua has all those features, it will be priced the same as a Toyota. If you want a proper sedan in the RM60k price range with 6 airbags, VSC, ABS, EBD and a strong body that has high-strength hot-press steel that only a handful of manufacturers in the world employ, there’s the Preve..
Nobody cares about safety, bro. All they care is push start button, touch screen infotainment system, and anti-snatch hook.
ESP? HHA? TSC? NAHHH!! Me got skillz!!
Forget about Preve, though proven as a very safe car (just look at ANCAP rating and real life accident example), nobody will buy. It’s a Proton, brother! It’s a third world vehicle they said.
Same goes to other safe cars like KIA, Ford, etc. Ewww.. Me no want, LOW RV!!!
I only want a 90k VIOS with only ABS, I look wealthier and have more status in a VIOS than “garbage junk” Protons, they said. Forget about wife and son waiting for me at home everyday to safely arrive. Got a VIOS I can pick up more girls with that. /sarcasm
It’s a sad reality the era of tin milo and power window rosak still embedded in majority Malaysians. At the end of the day, a P2 sedan priced at 60k with only ABS, or a T VIOS 90k with only ABS still can sell.
Remember, lives are cheap !
Why blame market preference if Proton being rejected?
If local rakyat no longer support you, go find other market lah. Bangladesh or Mongolia market also can, belum cuba belum tahu.
BEEP BEEP!! P2 macai detected! LOL… bro, what are you smoking? Please pass it on to all PT readers ok, don’t get too high.
Please speak with sense. FF talks about preference over unsafe cars to the safer ones, not specifically Proton.
And ask yourself, why is a Vios 90k in Malaysia while Langkawi only cost 50k? You talk like only T and P2 no VSC, how about your Saga? I don’t see any safety features in your highly acclaimed Proton if you compare with same segment
Huh? Iriz got VDC in same segment, the sedan variant will come later
How many Iriz sold last month?
Why you ask?
Because I want to see the basis of bringing this car into comparison.
The thing is people that buy vios at a premium (92k) get 2 different perception from people. The car enthusiast will laugh at how stupid the buyer is while the normal people will think this guy is richer than a person driving a c-class because he pays RM10 for something worth only RM2. Imagine paying RM600 for a single 175/70/R14 Tyre. The shop mechanic treats you as water fish as well as thinks you are really loaded. The C-class buyer only pays RM600 for a 245/50/R17 tyre. That is how people get the impression that vios owners are richer than c-class owners.
wth is this??? this like super ugly! come on theo!
Theo rendering be much nicer than this but I think it’ll dissapoint many readers as the concept is already not that nice.
Toyota vios is better than this, new vios will launch new model come with new feature safety such as VSC, 6 Airbags, Hill Start Assist and also Blind Spot Monitor Price starting at RM60,000. Go for Toyota, good RV.
Bro,this is the little teaser that I will give,a little teaser.The Saga 3 that will be launch this year will have VSC (ABS,EBD,ESC,HA,BA),6 airbags.Better than your Vios.Cheers!
Keep on dreaming. P2 will launch this first. P1 until 2023 would still ‘R&D’ this Saga 3. Better than your ‘new’ Saga. Cheers!
Well p1 still makes cars, one after one gen
In 1990, this car would’ve been HOT!!!
I can predict in year 2025, Perodua will organize another record-breaking gathering for its inaugural Sedan car as appreciation for 1 million units sales.
Perodua sedan car = Another future love of the nation!
::love::muah::muah:: #1JutaLovePerodua
Get a life la. Please work harder and buy a real car like vios. Not a fake toyota wannabe for Br1m people.
Why buy a fake BR1M car? Buy a real BR1M car like Saga la
Seriously, IMHO, when looking at the shape (if it remind you of anything), the the chances of closing the deal has gone for 50% if I’m not budget tight.
(why must B segment sedan created by Malaysian companies tend to end up in similar … er .. design / profile ?)
The front end looks pretty good but the rest look hedious.
Front reminds me of the hornbill. Duh”
Even though there might be technical reason behind it, to be honest, that Buddy concept design looks like the most stupid design I ever seen on a car.
Nothing more stupid than Proton Savvy design.
Butthurt p2 fan, lol
This is ugly, similar to Latio
I think they want to sell this in India.
Wow. Design? By definition, thats not a design. A design doesn’t cause convulsions and vomiting.
Macam the paper car that I burn to my grandpa.
This is not Exora you know? Exora comes with self fire ignite feature.
Cannot beat the number of p2 turn turtled! LOL
can someone tell me wtf is this?
The Proton killer.
Nope. Vios killer.
Your mother killer
Nolah.The Person who buys this car killer.As it will only have 2 Airbags and no ESC
Why you no read article? :(
This car reminds me of nissan latio sedan… which is _______________ (fill in your own word). I am so NOT looking forward to this one.
Heard that it looks like 1st gen Vios here. Proton sure bungkus punya.
I heard that it looks like a moving coffin, with high keras wood on revolving wheels. Whoever buys it sure bungkus punya
Yeah why have to crack heads to install those safety features and run tests if hair dresser cars can be best seller for years? Easy plug and play job, easy money ma.
First! Shitty
1 word…FUGLY……
Ya yaya … Proton will repeat its VSC and 10 airbags like broken record.
They want VSC lor, not repeating p1 at all. Just give what they want. Only butthurt p2 macais SA feel threaten everytime VSC word is written in comments.
What people want is reliable car which something that Proton does not have despite spending so much for VSC and 10 airbags. Remember, reliable car. Not crap.
More like VW, not p1
the a pillar looks like suzuki swift model..
the back looks like 2008 nissan tiida latio / nissan versa sedan..
i think the first generation proton saga is has a proportional design than this in my opinion..
Rear looks Dated
agree..n it looks kinda retard..the rear bumper and the rear body in a single unit..no lines is seen.
perodua new sedan REALLY AWESOME!!!!!
