Perodua Nautica vs Toyota Rush

Perodua has recently announced their new model SUV will be named Nautica 4WD. This model is believe to be based on the Daihatsu Terios (see the photo) first generation with shorter wheelbase compared to the new version of Toyota Rush.

This model is expected to be launched sometime mid May 2008 and to be positioned as a premium compact SUV which powered by 1.5L DVVT (VVTi) engine and standard 4-speed automatic transmission.

Based on my study, this CBU model will only undergoing very minor loclisation in term of their bumper and Perodua badge only. Its come with 2 colour of either Medallion Grey or Majestic Black. The price is expected at RM90k – 99k.

Many said that the Rush, an Indonesia made SUV not doing so well in Malaysia eventhough compared to its predecessor (Daihatsu Terios), its bigger in term of size. With the introduction of Nautica, people will compare this 2 model and of course in term of value for your money, Rush will be more attractive and of course this will lead to better sales.

Anyway, we just wait next 2 weeks on what actually Perodua can offer :)

    Hey, why would you say the Rush would be a better buy than the Nautica?
    The only thing the rush has that the nautica doesnt is the 2 extra seats right?
