It’s no secret that Perodua’s initial move into electrification will be made via the hybrid route. That intent was stated in 2019 and reiterated in 2021, with the journey down that path reportedly set to begin in 2024.
Additional hints have been dropped along the way – earlier this year, Perodua president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad had intimated that the company’s first hybrid will be a variant of a full model change, essentially part of an all-new, next-generation model introduction. Away from that, however, there has been no indication of what to expect, either from a product or tech viewpoint.
That looks set to change next week. In a post made on its social media channels earlier this week, the national automaker looks like it will be presenting an electrified vehicle study at the upcoming 2023 Malaysia Auto Show, with the teaser post offering a silhouette outline of a hatchback-styled vehicle, accompanied by the words “Electric Motion Online,” or EMO.
Given its name, the concept should be very much a hybrid showcase, highlighting the tech that will be coming our way. The Online equation could allude to connectivity aspects or various related elements that will eventually make their way into P2 models in the future.
Will the concept preview more than the powertrain? The pointer towards an “all-new, next-generation model” means that as far as timelines go, the company’s first commercial hybrid will not be an Ativa or Alza variant, or for that matter the Axia, because the second-gen was just launched this year.
Models next in line for a full-model change should be the Bezza sedan, which had its debut in 2016 and was facelifted in 2020, and the third-gen Myvi, which was introduced in 2017. Does the hatchback styling of the electrified study suggest the latter? More next week when the EMO debuts.

What electric? What hybrid?
Simple parts like OIL FILTER also they cannot get it right. Now service centers are deflecting the blame to vendor as like it is going to change anything.
The new Axia avg fuel consumption is 33km/l. so 10liter can trvl from Rawang to Alor Setaq.. spend rm20.50 only for petrol… P2 for all
Velum banging dark tidur key? Keep on dreaming
What Perodua intention? Merely waiting for whatever Daihatsu is coming out with.
Perodua is one of the design contributor. Do you know anything about Toyota-Daihatsu-Perodua synergy?
“design contributor”means, P2 is given some very small design jobs (usually bumpers etc.).
Study a bit more. The g3 myvi is the base for sirion. Not the other way around.
And? Daihatsu dropped out of NZ, AUS, UK, EU, SA, THAI and south american markets already?
As the Sirion is only sold in three countries worldwide, it’s nothing to be proud of.
If what you said is true, that means Perodua designed the Axia to cheat the safety crash test too. Perodua is responsible!
latest myvi using DNGA platform will be it
Or new b segment suv
local tech my axx…just bring over from Daihatsu n done la…pretend as if they are doing the R&D
They didn’t pretend. They are part of the R&D team which design to cheat the crash test.
SUV would be awesome. With frequent flash floods. A higher ride hatchback would be great too. Can’t wait to see what’s been offered.
With Axia getting bigger, maybe there’s no need for a traditional size Myvi and it’ll just turn into a hybrid B segment crossover?
i think the price would be rm65k
I think they need to announce something so we are kept waiting rather than go ahead and buy the upcoming China mari brands.

P2 no more small budget for new carr
Kenapa rakyat yg bayar cukai dapat kete tin kosong cap kapak manakala orang yang kita lantik semua bawak kete mewah. Aku suggest hapuskan cukai kete fair and level playing field. Roadtax pun tak masuk akal 1.5 turbo HP power tinggi roadtax murah manakala kete lama Cefiro saya bayar 8 kali ganda. Mana logic go pikir.
setuju bab hapuskan tax protection tu biar semua sama rata. kereta baru bawah dua kereta “nasional” sekarang ni pun bukan mampu milik dah
EMO??? Probably making me emo loh
Those who hate/s their life, can use this car to end their life.
P1 & P2 should adapt the BYD 05 Destroyer hybrid module more suited for our country as the charging facilities still at its infancy.
