Perodua Ativa — Malaysia's First Turbocharged Perodua

The Perodua Ativa (2021–present) is Perodua's first turbocharged model and most technologically advanced vehicle. It uses the 1.0L 1KR-VET 3-cylinder turbocharged engine producing 98hp, mated to a D-CVT. The Ativa offers the best power-to-efficiency ratio in the Perodua lineup, with 0–100 km/h in under 10 seconds. Three variants are offered: X (basic), H (mid with leather), and AV (top with ASA 3.0 autonomous emergency braking, lane departure alert, adaptive cruise control). This is a relatively new model — reliability data is still accumulating. Early owners report no major issues when serviced correctly. The turbo engine requires stricter maintenance than NA Perodua models, but proper care should deliver long service life.
