Perodua Ativa – 6k bookings, over 100 units registered

Even those that aren’t into vehicles – like my curious neighbours – know that Perodua has simply launched a brand new SUV. It’s solely March, however the Perodua Ativa ought to simply be the largest automotive launch of 2021 after we do our recap later. And from the preliminary figures, it received’t be lengthy earlier than the brand new mannequin is all over the place round city.

It’s one factor to launch a automotive, one other factor to provide and ship persistently. As an example, Honda reminded us yesterday that it has delivered near 13,000 models of the fifth-generation Metropolis as of February. In the meantime, the much-hyped Proton X50, which was additionally launched in October 2020, has discovered 8,141 houses.

Again to Perodua. We’ve received the most recent figures from the market chief, and as of 3pm right this moment (March 5), it has collected 6,027 bookings for the Ativa since order taking began on February 19. This time two days in the past, the night of the launch, that they had some 5k names, so it’s 1k further in barely greater than a day.

It’s one factor to gather bookings, one other factor to ship. After almost two days of gross sales, as of 4.30pm right this moment (March 5), Perodua has registered 102 models of the SUV. It’s value noting that not like many main new fashions from different manufacturers, the Ativa’s teaser/pre-launch reserving interval was very quick (lower than two weeks) and prospects didn’t get to see/take a look at until after the launch.

We’re genuinely shocked that there are some who assume that the Ativa – priced from RM61,500 to RM72,000 on-the-road with SST exemption, with out insurance coverage – is dear. That is an SUV with the most recent DNGA platform, a turbo engine, a novel D-CVT gearbox, ASA 3.0/AEB throughout the board, adaptive LED headlamps, and Degree 2 semi-autonomous tech within the AV – have been you anticipating Myvi costs?

Looks as if the precise carbuyers out there don’t share the identical sentiments – as of final week, 75% of bookings have been for the vary topper, and most of these AV patrons went for the pearl colors (purple or white) with a black roof, which is a double price possibility. This development is predicted to proceed.

For extra particulars on the brand new Perodua Ativa, take a look at our launch report and first impressions evaluation. The spec-by-spec breakdown is under, as are galleries of all three variants (plus GearUp equipment, all pics after the bounce) and an in depth walk-around video.
