Alongside the Myvi GT, X-Concept and a sneak peek of the company’s NUS, Perodua also showcased a hybrid system at the ongoing Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS 2018). The system is based on Daihatsu technology, but the national carmaker didn’t reveal if this system will be used in any upcoming models.
However, it did state that the technology is “compatible with existing Perodua Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) features such as Pre-Collision Warning and Braking.” Currently, the Myvi is the only model in the company’s line-up that is offered with said safety and driver assist suite of systems, so one could speculate that a hybrid Myvi is possible (take it with a huge amount of salt).
For now, Perodua hasn’t released any details about the system, including the engine capacity and fuel type, transmission type, size and output of the electric motor, and battery capacity. This is purely a showcase of a possible technology that could be implemented later on.
In terms of mechanics, the system is reminiscent of most hybrids, whereby an internal combustion engine and/or an electric motor drive(s) the wheels, depending on the operating mode.
By default, the system runs on pure electricity, drawing power from a battery pack. If more power is needed, the engine kicks into action, and also doubles as a generator to charge the battery. Alternatively, the battery can also be charged via regenerative braking.
The platform also supports connected services, whereby the car can set an appointment for scheduled maintenance when it approaches a certain mileage or deadline. This is in conjunction with the above-mentioned safety and driver assist systems.

POWER XIA. Do you remember proton said in 2010 they will launch an EV ??? HAHAHAHA. Our local market is TOO SMALL to develop such an high tech car, the only thing they can do is rebadging car. Stop dreaming la. You think you toyota meh ???
“Powered by Daihatsu” yeah, like everything else in your line up!
Showcase all these advanced hybrid technology but last2 still stuck with 4 speed automatic gearbox.
Because P2 need all you P2 fanboy to pay for the plant in seremban so it will last for very very long time for all the future models. Why vios use new cvt but P2 still 4AT? They use ur money to pay and profit from old cheap tech brought over lol enjoy ur future 4AT whatever tech P2..
Wait until Daihatsu release a hybrid car then P2 will rebadge it. Maybe this concept will just be a history.
Not even inside a proper car. This is just a gimmick lah! Won’t see light of day for another 10 years. By that time, others have moved on to EV.
P1 offers basic, affordable Saga, you guys condemn. P1 shows advanced Geely-tech safety, condemn also.. P2 gives basic, cheap to maintain, reliable 4AT, condemn kaw2. P2 shows advanced Toyota-tech hybrid, condemn also. .. what actually you guys want? Wheelbarrow? Get a life, dudes..
