Perodua or Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sendirian Berhad has produced numerous iconic national cars for Malaysians which aren’t only economical but also versatile enough to attract a very large range of drivers, from teenagers to commuters to retirees. Last time we explore the Proton models over the years, right? So this time, why don’t we discover Perodua cars list since 1993, shall we?
Perodua: How It Started
Perodua was established in 1993 and became Malaysia’s second national automaker. It initially aimed to focus on bringing compact, A-segment hatchbacks to Malaysian users.
Partnered with Daihatsu since its establishment, proves that all Perodua cars have Daihatsu technology. Until around 2015, Perodua started to inject more of its design into its cars, resulting in the production of the third-generation Myvi in 2017 to be the first car entirely designed and made in Malaysia. Now let’s dive into Perodua Cars List!
