Perodua earlier today published a new video on its social media channels including YouTube to tease the upcoming launch of its new electric vehicle. Interestingly enough, the new video may have provided us with the first official glimpse at the finalised version of the national automaker’s first EV.
At around the 8 to 9 second mark, the video brings the viewer’s attention to the Perodua logo on the hood of a vehicle. While dark lighting is used to hide the vehicle, its outline can still be seen.
Once you adjust the brightness, contrast, and highlights of the footage, the front section of the vehicle, including the plate number, reveals itself. The plate number appears to contain the QV-E logo, similar to the one filed with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) earlier this year.
The design of the front section itself appears to be identical to the “Perodua Aspirations” half-cut prototype that was shown at Malaysia Autoshow 2025 back in May in which Perodua’s President and CEO, Zainal Abidin Ahmad, said that it is very close to the production version. The prototype was shown again at the recent Global Automotive and Technology Expo (GATE) 2025.
Meanwhile, we have also discovered through Perodua’s official website that the company has already set up a section for its new EV, although no information about the car has been published there. Instead, the website currently features the new teaser and has indicated that there will be more teasers coming daily for the next few days until 24 November.
Based on a recent remark by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim, Perodua QV-E will likely be launched by the end of this month. So, we should be able to see the real thing in just a matter of days if PM can slot in the launch event into his schedule.
What do we know about the Perodua EV so far?
The manifestation of Perodua’s EV ambition was first shown to the public in the form of Electric Motion Online (eMO) scale model at the Malaysia Auto Show 2023. The national automaker then came to the 2024 event with the eMO-I prototype, which was a Myvi that had been converted into an EV.
A few months after that, Perodua then unveiled the eMO-II EV Concept at the KL International Mobility Show 2024, which was turned into reality with some help from the Kepong-based Bufori. It was during this time that Perodua revealed that its EV will be priced at under RM90,000.
The company has also revealed some initial information about its upcoming EV during this event:
- 50-ish kWh LFP battery from CATL
- Around 400km of range (test cycle not revealed)
- 0-100km/h under 7 seconds
- AC charging time of around 8 hours to fully charge its battery
- DC charging time of around 30 minutes to get 30% – 80%
In May 2025, Perodua once again had a massive outing at Malaysia Autoshow, which included the unveiling of a near-production EV prototype, albeit in a half-cut form. The new prototype, which features a fastback design, no longer carries the eMO moniker and was simply labelled as “Perodua Aspirations”.
