Perodua CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid has revealed some details regarding the Perodua sedan - which we now know to be codenamed D63D - at the ongoing Myvi 10th Anniversary drive event.
The sedan has been approved and is now in the prototype stage. Perodua is already evaluating the engine, platform and transmission. The platform employed should be an existing Toyota/Daihatsu platform, although there is no indication yet on which one it could be.
The CEO also revealed that Perodua is targeting a five-star NCAP safety rating with the sedan - it was not mentioned, but the NCAP is likely to be ASEAN NCAP. If so, this means stability control is planned for the new Perodua D63D sedan - ESC is a pre-requisite for a five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating.
"(Translated) Not this year. Next year maybe, or even the year after that. But not 2019 or 2020," was Aminar's reply regarding when the new sedan will debut.
