Full Malaysian effort, fun to drive, family friendly, highly fuel efficient, and value for money. Those were some of the terms used to describe DreamEdge’s new national car, which the company claims to be a plus-sized B-segment sedan.
We managed to catch a glimpse of the prototype today, or at least a portion of its front and rump. According to DreamEdge, the car will get a “modern and futuristic” styling, and all design concept and development will be led by the Cyberjaya-based digital engineering services and consultancy company.
In terms of powertrain, the car will likely get either a regular internal combustion petrol engine or a hybrid powertrain, but this will be led by technology partner Daihatsu, which confirmed its involvement in the project last October. Daihatsu has no equity involvement, but will merely head powertrain and platform development. It won’t be another Daihatsu rebadge, we were told.
For timeline, there will be some form of unveiling next month, plus a working prototype is due by mid this year. A market debut is expected in March 2021, with production (contracted) set to take place in the first half of 2022. DreamEdge plans to sell at least 3,000 units of the sedan monthly, or a minimum of 36,000 units over the course of 12 months. Other features include modern in-car connectivity functions, and Advanced Driver Assistance Systems.

Smart move by DreamEdge by using Daihatsu’s technologies on their upcoming nationcal car! With this Game-Changing partnership, we can expect DreamEdge to lead the market together with Perodua and Game Proton Over
I really Hate you and your 1000’s dupes here Kunta!!!
Ditto. MeToo
Habislah proton!
Habislah you! Do you know why everyone hates people like you who drives Perodua? Because mainly Perodua customers are sohais with low IQ. I really hope that you and other Perodua owner will be deported from Malaysia
Golf MK8 and Audi A5 copy cats with Kelisa engine. Good mixtures
Dream Edge is another Proton, it is to benefit the crony supplier and vendors and make them rich.
Who are these vendors and suppliers? Well, according to Li Chunrong, they are the No 1 cause that made Proton bankrupt as they overcharged Proton to the maximum whilst giving super low quality parts.
This DreamEdge, history will repeat again. It is to benefit the lazy vendors and suppliers who want easy life and goyang kaki life at the expense of others.
Then, meaning it is similar like perodua?
With DreamEdge why do we still have Perodua? Better close down this company! For 30 years they been calling themselves national car maker and getting incentives & tax deductions but throughout the 30 years they have been giving us subpar and unsafe cars, plus the very fact they had cheated our country of 30 years tax revenue by declaring losses after sending all profits back to their Japanese lords.
They had some history working with daihatsu in Japan. Yes, Dream edge has an office in Japan, because they have some projects there. The company is very strong in technical and engineering and towards use of digital technology and 3d printing. This is reason they can come up with a full functioning prototype within a period of 6 months time.
Simply superb.
Yakuzas have offices in Japan, what makes having an office in Japan anything special. What did Dream Edge contributed or did while in Japan?
Why need third national carmaker?? Why not just use the money to improve Proton instead? Proton is the world best company, that is why rich people buy X70 instead of BMW X7. They know X70 is the best SUV in the market
Geely technology may even better than daihatsu, since they bought volvo, merc, proton lotus and more… They already have full range of cars from normal to plug in hybrid and electric cars. Perodua already dealing with daihatsu for more than 30 years? I personally don’t see the point why need another similar to 2nd Perodua brand? Protiga? Tun, can I suggest you something? Cancel the project and Reduce all car price by 30% (CBU and CKD).
“Those were some of the terms used to describe…” Basically Paul Tan crew is taking DreamEdge talk with jars of seasalt and throwing in Sarawak pepper for good measure. In other words, take what is coming out from Pakatan and their affiliates with the same amounts of condiments.
another national car? what a shame
I dont know. Plus-sized B segment? If priced at similar to City/Persona can sell. Like dey, if prized as an X70, better buy dat la. MY market is ALWAYS price sensitive.
Just another rebadge with some changes front and rear.
400T most likely.
So Tun M just made LGE increase CBU car. Now he’s introducing new national car (P3) into the market. See what he’s doing there?
So is tun a cunning PM or lge a dumb FM? Or a bit of both?
Wei … Roewe I5 la ni ( EV flagship under SAIC) Another set back as still depending on China Automotive tycoons.
lainla mana ada sama
i’m not sure our tiny saturated market at 600k TIV annually can actually support another national car company.
to be successful, the car doesn’t have to be good enough, but super good that myvi, city and vios buyers would go for untested, new company instead the usual suspects.
can consider la if a rebadged Audi…just make sure power windows working ok…also dont be like proton, the same 1986 saga were sold until 2008….
No one asked for this.
now new gomen.. sure this project go down the drain!
