After much anticipation, Perodua broke the internet last night after it finally launched the Ativa SUV, setting the whole country into a frenzy. There has been so much hype about the Ativa that even people who don’t usually give a damn about the automotive industry are sharing articles in WhatsApp groups.
In case you’re wondering what the hype is all about, the Perodua Ativa is the model that finally brings the SUV segment closer to the middle class with its super competitive price tag that stands between RM61,500 and RM72,000.
Just to put things into perspective, a low-spec Toyota Vios 1.5 J costs RM74,623 on the road without insurance. Which one would you go for?
