Perodua has released a teaser of the second iteration of the Perodua EMO-I concept, now dubbed the EMO-II concept, set to be unveiled at the upcoming KLIMS 2024. This updated concept car provides a glimpse into Perodua’s vision for its first-ever fully electric model.
Compared to the EMO-I concept, which was first previewed at the Malaysia Autoshow 2024 and essentially a slightly-modified Perodua Myvi with an electric powertrain, the EMO-II concept showcases a more distinctive design language.
Based on the short teaser video, it appears the EMO-II will depart from the Myvi-based design of its predecessor, now adopting a sleeker and sportier profile, paired with an aggressive front-end design. Accenting the front are light strips embedded into the bumper and a light-up Perodua badge.
The rear of the EMO-II concept reinforces the sporty and aggressive design philosophy with sharp edges on the rear bumper, accented by a Formula One-style rain light on the bumper.

It is uncertain whether the EMO-II will carry over the same powertrain from the EMO-I. The latter features a single front-mounted electric motor producing 163 hp (120 kW) and 315 Nm, allowing for a 0-100 km/h time of approximately seven to nine seconds.
The targeted range for the eventual Perodua EV is 400 km from a 57.6 kWh battery pack. The EMO-I concept supports AC charging up to 11 kW and a maximum DC charging rate of 50 kW, translating to a charging time of 5:15 hours on AC and 1:10 hours on DC charging.
As for pricing, it is estimated that Perodua’s first fully electric model will be priced under RM100,000, as revealed by Prime Minister and Finance Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim during the tabling of the 2025 national budget.
