Perodua cars are made in Malaysia using the Daihatsu engine. Viva is available is three series -- Viva 660, Viva 850 and Viva 1000. Features like keyless entry and factory fitted AC and audio system are available in all Perodua cars.
Viva 660 is the basic model from the Perodua stable. Viva 850, however, has additional features like genuine wheel cap, front and rear power windows and adjustable power wing mirror. On top of all these features, Viva 1000 cc has some additional features like power steering and seat adjusting system.
“Among the cars we sell, Viva 850 is very popular among customers here,” Pramod Dhungel, marketing manager of Nemlink, told myrepublica.com.
The nearest competitor of Perodua Viva at the moment is Maruti 800. But Tata Nano with the displacement of 624 cc is expected to give tough fight to Viva 660 once Nano -- billed the world´s cheapest car -- is launched in the Nepali market.
“Viva is the most economical car available in the Nepali market in terms of mileage. It has other features like CD player, defogger, rear wiper and so on which won´t be available in Nano. And the best thing is that, Viva gives the mileage of 23 km per liter,” he added.
Nemlink also offers customers with buy back guarantee on their cars. The company buys back the car with 20 percent depreciation for the first year. If the customer is planning to exchange their car with another Perodua car, then the depreciation faced by the customers is only 10 percent annually.
Nemlink has already sold more then 1200 Perodua cars in the country. It plans to introduce other models from Perodua stable soon.
