Facts that you need to know about Kereta Viva / Perodua Viva

Here's my thoughts about Kereta Viva





The Perodua Viva is a city car manufactured by Malaysian automaker Perodua since May 10, 2007. It was originally planned to be the replacement of Perodua's current city cars - the Perodua Kancil and the Perodua Kelisa. Once launched, Perodua decided to market it as a Kelisa replacement only, and will continue to sell the Kancil. The Perodua Viva is based on the 6th generation Daihatsu Mira. All of the Perodua Viva models uses Daihatsu DVVT engines. Only the Premium version comes with dual airbag and ABS.

Specifications

The Perodua Viva was initially launched with 6 models. They are
660EX manual,
850EX manual,
1.0SX Standard manual,
1.0SXi Premium manual,
1.0EZ Standard automatic
and the 1.0EZi Premium automatic. The range was later updated on the 23rd of July 2009 with the Viva 660BX manual (Kancil replacement model) ,Viva Elite manual, Viva Elite automatic and the Viva Elite EZi.

The suspension is typical of small hatchbacks with MacPherson struts in front located by an L-shaped lower arm. At the rear, Viva is fitted with a torsion beam axle and trailing arms. The suspension geometry has been optimised for better steering response and ride comfort. The 1000 cc models have power-assisted steering, optional auto transmission and also a front stabilizer. The 660 cc and 850 cc are barebones basic models, devoid of power steering and auto transmission. As the Viva is based on Daihatsu Mira Avy, a kei car, it has a compact exterior dimensions and a small turning radius. It is roomy for its class, with enough room for 4 adults comfortably.
