Perodus Nautica

This is how Perodua Nautica looks like!
Perodua Nautica is Perodua Kembara's successor which was launched in this month.

Today, I went to their showroom in Petaling Jaya. There is not much people in the showroom compare years back when they lauched their brand new Perodua Myvi. According to the salesman, the company is trying to cut cost for this product which is 97% made and imported from Japan. (quite near to fully imported)

Perodua Nautica is selling with only 1 variant price at RM89,900 OTR with insurance with two colour choices, either grey or black. It comes with a longitudinally mounted 1.5 liter DWT engine. Nautica is an essential Perodua-badged version of Daihatsu Terious. This is how Toyota Terious looks like!

Aren't they look alike?

Perodua intends to take 5% of SUV market with the sales of about 200 units monthly with Nautical. The petrol comsuption of Nautica is Rm0.16 - Rm0.17/km which is around Rm0.01 higher compare to Perodua Myvi and it is more spacious compare to Perodua Kembara. I will prefer if it comes with leather seats with other colour choices like methalic silver (I like most). Anyway, Perodua nautica will still be a good choice for those who looking for imported SUV with an affordable price.
