Perodua MPV undisguised images

This is probably the first set of completely undisguised image of Perodua's upcoming MPV aka D46T / MPC-Space. For more images go here.






From the set of images, we can guess that the white car should be of the lower grade variant - note the omission of fog lamps. The high specs variant should have blue instrument panel dials (with Optitron back lighting) while the lower grade will have amber coloured dials. Note also the inclusion of steering wheel audio controls. And I think I see projector headlamps in the images. Wing mirror mounted indicators should be available as standard, as per the current Myvi. Powertrain will come from the 1.5-litre gasoline 3SZ-VE engine mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission (doesn't seem like manual is available - refer to Dodo's comments below). The same powertrain currently powers the Toyota Avanza 1.5 (local version of Daihatsu Xenia sold in Indonesia), Toyota Rush (7-seater ASEAN version, also sold as Daihatsu Terios in Indonesia) as well as the Perodua Nautica (rebadged 5-seater EU / JDM market Toyota Rush / Terios / Daihatsu Bego).

Price will range between RM56,000 and RM67,000. Launch date is on Nov-17 2009.

This photo seems to be taken from a Perodua facility (looking at the staff uniform), and one has to wonder - why was this person allowed to bring in AV recording devices into the facility? It doesn't seem that this photo was taken in secret - seems quite obvious that it is taken with full knowledge of everyone present. Proton had some issues with LG CNS (engineering consultant) when photos of the Saga BLM were leaked out from LG's facility.

This blog have published quite a few articles on the Perodua MPV. Links to them below.

Perodua is not the only one that will be launching a MPV model. Honda wants to join the game too with its Freed next year. Though this will be in an entirely different segment (expect prices above RM110k). Think of it as a proper successor to the Nissan Serena which was discontinued, that segment of the market have not been really filled by anyone (Naza Ria's sales has slowed tremendously). The Freed is expected to be imported from Indonesia.
