RAWANG: In conjunction with the official celebration of Perodua’s 20th anniversary this year, the compact carmaker proudly unveiled three new variants of S-Series for Viva S, Myvi 1.3 SE and Alza S. The ‘S-Series’ was officially unveiled by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin.
Perodua’s S-Series boasts enhanced value, usability and styling. In short, S-Series offers overall total value of ownership.
The word ‘S’ in ‘S-Series’ stands for ‘Special’. All ‘S-Series’ variants’ additional features are added at no additional cost to the customers.
The series comes in all current Perodua vehicle colours as well as its signature ‘Ozzy Orange’.
The Viva S 1.0L is priced at RM34,774.30 (AT, solid), which is equipped with power steering, seat height adjuster, seat under tray, seat back pocket, vanity mirror and an MP3 & WMA (Windows Media Audio) player. This is currently the most affordable automatic car in the country.
The Myvi 1.3 SE is priced at RM44,924.30 (MT, solid) and RM47,924.30 (AT, solid). Among highlights are the special edition bumper, side skirting and rear spoiler.

At the same occasion, the Deputy Prime Minister also placed the first foundation stone of Perodua’s new state-of-the-art factory costing RM790 million within the existing factory compound.
The new plant is expected to be operational by mid-2014, according to Perodua managing director Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh.
