In the Automobile industry, pertaining to News within the vicinity, particularly about the Perodua brand, Anthony Lim posted a blog entry on July 4th, 2023 at 10:50 am, which prompted 14 user comments.
In May, Perodua introduced its Electric Motion Online (EMO) concept at the Malaysia Autoshow in a smaller model size. This gave a glimpse into what the future of their all-electric vehicles might look like. Furthermore, although not explicitly mentioned, the design of this study could also be a preview of the upcoming Myvi model.
Continuing with that concept, talented artist Theophilus Chin has created a digital representation of the electric vehicle (EV) study as a ready-for-production car, which he has named MyEV. While maintaining the overall design of the original concept, the images show a more traditional front bumper grille and seamless transition to the rear doors.
Similarly, the backside of the car maintains the strip of running lights, but the light assemblies are bigger and there is a bumper that looks more like the ones we are used to seeing. Due to the higher belt-line, there is less space for windows on the car compared to what was shown in the initial design.
It is undeniable that the EMO is built upon the foundation of the Myvi. The initial details shared during the preview revealed that the B-segment vehicle has dimensions of 3,895 mm in length, 1,735 mm in width, and 1,515 mm in height. Additionally, it boasts a 2,500 mm long-wheelbase, mirroring the measurements of the existing Myvi model.
The imaginary electric powertrain of the EMO vehicle also matches the performance of the Myvi, delivering 95 PS and 121 Nm. This power is sufficient to give the concept car a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 10 seconds and a top speed of 160 km/h. With a 50 kWh battery, the EMO can travel between 300-350 km on a single charge. Additionally, the battery can be quickly replenished through DC charging, capable of reaching up to 300 kW. In just 20 minutes, the battery can be charged to 80% SoC (State of Charge).
The official car manufacturer has announced that a real version of the EMO concept will be manufactured either by the end of this year or early next year. This model will most likely reveal the interior, which was not shown in the miniature clay model. Will it also exhibit modifications to its complete exterior design? We'll have to wait to find out. Meanwhile, do you believe that the next-generation Myvi, which is probably at least two years away (by 2025), will resemble this?

Anthony Lim thinks there's nothing quite like enjoying a nice smoke and driving a unique and well-handled car. After spending over fifteen years working for a popular English newspaper and struggling to keep his writing concise, he is excited to delve into a more detailed discussion about cars and their unique features here.
