Perodua unveils the eMO-II prototype at 2024 KLIMS
At the 2024 Kuala Lumpur International Mobility Show 2024 (2024 KLIMS), Perodua took the opportunity to showcase the eMO-II electric prototype model this afternoon.
According to Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, the President and CEO of Perodua, this prototype unit is a continuation of the previous prototype model and has been improved in terms of styling and features.
As revealed in a teaser video earlier, the Perodua eMO-II boasts a much sportier design compared to the eMO model.
From the front, the eMO-II features an aggressive bumper design, a full-width LED light bar, a illuminated Perodua logo on the front hood, and the eMO-II branding on the lower bumper.
On the sides, there are sharp air intakes, followed by aerodynamic wheel rims and side cameras that will typically be replaced with side mirrors for the actual production model.
The sporty theme continues at the rear, where the bumper components are adorned with a sizable diffuser design, a single brake light at the center of the bumper, a full-width LED light bar, and the presence of LED graphics resembling traditional songket patterns.
The interior design of the eMO-II deviates from the typical layouts seen in Perodua’s production cars.
In addition to the sporty seating, the eMO-II features a more modern steering wheel design, a wide digital cluster screen, PRND buttons positioned at the top of the center screen, and geometric graphics on the central console.
Currently, Perodua has not revealed the full specifications of the eMO-II, but based on preliminary information, this electric vehicle (EV) is powered by a single front-wheel-drive electric motor with an output of 68 PS and 220 Nm of torque, offering a range of 450 km on a full charge.
However, Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad confirmed that Perodua’s first EV will be priced within a range not exceeding RM90,000.
Someone who loves driving manual cars but prefers riding an automatic scooter. Maybe it's an age thing.
