It appears that bookings for the Perodua Ativa has increased substantially this month. According to a circular to dealers by the carmaker dated April 21, bookings have reached 55,000 units and the waiting period for the most in-demand configuration is up to four months.
In an April 1 statement, Perodua president and CEO Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad said that Ativa bookings were at 14,574 units since order taking started on February 19. Perodua has been working hard to ramp up deliveries to fulfil demand for its new SUV. At the start of April, the carmaker had handed over 4,345 units of the Ativa in less than 30 days. The new model was officially launched on March 3.

Finally, the Perodua Ativa has been officially launched in Malaysia. Instead of the customary big event, Perodua unveiled the D55L SUV via a virtual launch this evening, finally confirming the Ativa name in the process. If you’re wondering, Ativa is Portuguese for active, which makes sense for an SUV.
Also announced were the official prices. The Ativa starts at
RM61,500 for the base X variant, going up to
RM66,100 for the mid H. The top AV is yours for
RM71,200, or
RM72,000 if you go for the full two-tone paint option (pearl white/red with black roof). These figures, which are on-the-road excluding insurance, are lower than the estimated price range of RM62,500 to RM73,400. Prices include sales tax exemption, which is in place until June 30.

This is the one, folks. The new Perodua Ativa, or as you’ve known it from before, the D55L SUV. This is an extremely important model for Perodua as it debuts the new DNGA global platform, as well as its very first turbocharged engine and CVT gearbox.
On top of all that, there’s a whole load of new technologies, including ASA 3.0, as well as adaptive cruise control and Level 2 semi-autonomous driving. So let’s take a closer look at Perodua’s new baby.

Like a cue to let loose, Perodua’s sales personnel are out in full force to win those bookings for the D55L SUV, which the order books were opened for today. They are armed with this leaflet, which appears to be a genuine flyer.
UPDATE 1:
The same images have now appeared on Perodua’s website, but curiously without the Ativa name. Article updated with the new teaser images below.
UPDATE 2:
If so, the car’s name is out, and the SUV we’ve known all this while by its D55L codename is the Perodua Ativa. What do you think of the name? Like it or not, this also means that the Kembara name will not be revived. “Activate Every Destination” is the tagline, although I can’t wrap my head around that one.
