The Perodua Kenari is a city car produced by Malaysian automotive company Perodua. The Kenari is based on the second generation Daihatsu Move kei car (minicar) with a 989 cc DOHC engine powering it. The name Kenari is a Malaysian name equivalent to the word canary, which translates to joy and freedom.
History
The Perodua Kenari was launched in 2000 with three variants: EX (Standard) (5-speed manual), GX (Deluxe) (5-speed manual) and EZ (4-speed automatic).[1]
In April 2003, Perodua introduced the facelift model. Changes included new headlights, a new front grille and a 14" alloy wheel design that became standard throughout the 4-model range: GX, EZ, EZ Special (EZS) and GX Aero. The GX Aero was offered only with a manual transmission and was only available in Mistik Red. It had a body kit consisting of side skirts, a different spoiler and different styling for the rear lighting units. The interior of the GX Aero featured "cubic" printing on the centre dashboard console surfaces.[2][3]
In September 2003, the company showed a hybrid version of the Perodua Kenari that didn't make it to production. The prototype used a 659 cc petrol engine which produced 30 kW/41 bhp of power and 57 Nm of torque, coupled to an electric motor that generated 18 kW/25 bhp of power and 100 Nm of torque.[4]
In November 2006, the company introduced the Perodua Kenari RS.[5]
Perodua ended production and sales of the Kenari in 2009 with no direct replacement model.
