Suzuki Alto
Subaru Vivio-->{{Infobox Automobile generation] Kancil (also known as the
Perodua Nippa in the
United Kingdom, and the
Daihatsu Ceria in
Indonesia) is a small car manufactured by Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua (Malay language for "Second Automobile Manufacturer") in
Malaysia. It has been in production since 1994. The
Kancil is named after the mousedeer (chevrotain) native to Malaysia.
Overview
The Kancil was Perodua's first car after its founding in 1993. It is a small five-door hatchback vehicle on a monocoque framework that could seat five people. The Kancil and its predecessors are actually a modified
Daihatsu Mira through
badge engineering. Badge engineering is prevalent in Malaysia's automotive industry since it began in 1985 with carmaker Proton (company). Subsequent Kancils were only rejuvenated cosmetically as Perodua maintained the monocoque structure and tweaked with its engines.
Reception and production
Following its release in 1994, the Kancil became an instant success in Malaysia. The Kancil is popular with beginner drivers and is commonly used in Malaysian driving schools. It was also preferable for its fuel efficiency and surprising roomy interior despite its size. In December 1995, Perodua produced its 50,000th Kancil. By January 1997, 100,000 Kancils had been manufactured, and by 1999 250,000 had been built.
The Kancil was sold in the United Kingdom as the
Perodua Nippa, and
Indonesia between 2000 and 2006 as the
Daihatsu Ceria.
Facelifts and replacement
In 1999, the Kancil was given a slight facelift consisting of body-coloured side mouldings, new grille and reprofiled front bumper with larger indicators.
In 2003, the Kancil received a more extensive facelift. It now has round headlights, modified taillights, and new front and rear bumpers. Its interior features a flushed dashboard with the combination instrumentation panel placed in the middle like the Toyota Yaris. However, it is still mechanically identical to its predecessor, except for the EZi automatic transmission option which is given a fuel-injected powerplant.
The Perodua Kancil was replaced by the
Perodua Viva, a new model based on the new Daihatsu Mira, on
May 11,
2007.
Models
The Kancil was sold in three variants:
- Kancil 660EX- 659 cc three-cylinder carbureted Straight engine, 31 hp (22.8 kW), five-speed manual transmission, black bumpers and door rub strips. RM 22,055.
- Kancil 850EX- 847 cc three-cylinder carbureted in-line engine, 37 hp (27.5 kW), five-speed manual transmission, body-color bumpers and rub strips. RM 27,227.
