Here’s our first full gallery of the Perodua Ativa Hybrid in the usual comprehensive style that you know and love, with every exterior angle and every interior nook/cranny covered. As a bonus, we have the …
‘electric vehicle study’
It is a five-year commitment and the mileage cap over the period is 100,000 km, which averages to 20,000 km a year or 1,666 km per month. At the end of the tenure, the total amount paid to Perodua would be RM30,150 and the hybrid will go back to the company. By the way, all 300 units are in the same specs and colour – Pearl White without the optional black roof., so participants will have to consent to having a GPS telematics system fitted in the car.
Other ‘spot the difference’ points include the trim bridging the headlamps , the lack of skid plate-style silver trim at both ends on the Rocky and the JDM car’s smaller and rounder wing mirrors. The Rocky’s passenger-side mirror adds on two small mirrors showing the kerb. Also, the Rocky’s mirror caps are body-coloured; they’re black on the Ativa, no matter which colour you choose.
Before we move inside, note that the keyless entry for the Rocky works on both the driver and passenger side doors, as opposed to only on the driver’s side for the Ativa. P2 says that its method – single touch to unlock only the driver’s door, double touch to open all – is for safety. We can get behind that, but sensors on two sides does add some convenience.
The “lower spec” feel of the Hybrid that P2 ordered is apparent upon first contact – its key fob has two less buttons and feels empty as a result. That impression is affirmed by the empty buttons on the steering wheel, the AV’s red highlights and the local top spec car’s two-tone leather seats. However, it didn’t take more than a few kilometres for my bum to prefer the Japanese seats, which are softer and a fair bit more comfortable.
There’s also a Smart Pedal function for one-pedal driving, and the S-PDL button is where the ADAS buttons are. Single pedal driving brings plenty of regeneration and “engine braking” into play – once you’re used to S-PDL distances, the brake pedal is reduced to occasional use, such as light taps for the car to come to a complete stop.
