MAA urges the government to retain CBU EV duty exemptions, arguing early-stage demand and consumer confidence are vital for CKD success. With tax breaks ending Dec 31, distributors forecast 20–30 % price hikes, while some warn of up to 100 % increases once 10–30 % import and 50–100 % excise duties return. CKD incentives continue until end-2027, but brands starting local assembly only in H2 2026 will face transitional price pressure.

Inside, the curved display switches to iDrive 8.5 and offers a round M steering wheel for the first time. Production remains in Dingolfing; Chinese market introduction is expected via special order.

Perodua has confirmed that its first all-electric vehicle is undergoing trial production at its factory in Rawang, Selangor, with plans to launch and commence sales by December. The new model boasts a range of 400-410 km, accelerates from 0-100 km/h in approximately 6-7 seconds, and has a top speed of 165 km/h, positioning it as the brand's performance flagship. It adopts a battery leasing model, with a capped vehicle price of 80,000 MYR and a monthly sales target of 2,500 units. Compared to its competitor, the Proton eMAS 5 (325 km range, 0-50 km/h in 3.9 seconds), it holds advantages in both range and acceleration, though the leasing costs and market acceptance will need to be closely monitored.
