Perodua Ativa
2021–present · 1.0L DVVT Turbo (1KR-VET, port injection + turbo) · D-CVT (Daihatsu Drive-Chain CVT)
The Perodua Ativa (2021+) is Perodua's first turbocharged model, using the 1.0L DVVT Turbo (1KR-VET port injection). Port injection means NO carbon buildup risk on intake valves. D-CVT fluid every 40,000 km is critical. Turbo engine needs fully synthetic 0W-20 and shorter 5,000 km oil change intervals. ASA 3.0 camera recalibration required after windscreen replacement.
