Overview

The Kancil was Perodua's first car after its founding in 1993. It is a small five-door hatchback vehicle on a monocoque framework that could seat five people. Monocoque, from the French for single ( mono) and shell ( coque) is a construction technique that supports structural load by using an object's external The Kancil and its predecessors are actually a modified Daihatsu Mira through badge engineering. The Daihatsu Mira (also known as the Cuore, Domino or Charade outside of Japan) is a Kei car -type vehicle built by the For a list of vehicles that have been badge engineered see List of badge engineered vehicles. Badge engineering is prevalent in Malaysia's automotive industry since it began in 1985 with carmaker Proton. Proton is the Malaysian national Carmaker ( Malay Acronym for PeRusahaan OTOmobil Nasional, 'National Automobile Enterprise' Subsequent Kancils were only rejuvenated cosmetically as Perodua maintained the monocoque structure and tweaked with its engines.

Reception and production

Following its release in 1994, the Kancil became an instant success in Malaysia. The Kancil is popular with beginner drivers and is commonly used in Malaysian driving schools. It was also preferable for its fuel efficiency and surprising roomy interior despite its size. In December 1995, Perodua produced its 50,000th Kancil. By January 1997, 100,000 Kancils had been manufactured, and by 1999 250,000 had been built.

The Kancil was sold in the United Kingdom as the Perodua Nippa, and Indonesia between 2000 and 2006 as the Daihatsu Ceria.

Facelifts and replacement

The original Kancil underwent two minor facelifts. In 1997, the car's grille and bumpers were better integrated to support to a larger grille and rounded indicator lights. Two years later, the car was given another slight facelift consisting of body-coloured side mouldings, a new grille and reprofiled front bumper with larger indicators.

Ihe Kancil received a more extensive facelift in 2003. The 2003 iteration included rounded headlights and taillights, and new front and rear bumpers. Its interior features a flushed dashboard with the combination instrumentation panel placed in the middle like the Toyota Yaris. The Toyota Vitz (sold in different markets as the Toyota Yaris and Toyota Echo) is a line of Subcompact cars first launched by Toyota in However, it is still mechanically identical to its predecessor, except for the EZi automatic transmission option which is given a fuel-injected powerplant.

Although the Perodua Viva, a new model based on the new Daihatsu Mira, was widely considered as a legitimate replacement for the long-running Kancil, Perodua had decided to continue selling the Kancil and replaced the Perodua Kelisa instead on May 11, 2007.
