not they are not able to produce their own engine. it is because
perodua merge wif daihatsu. and daihatsu merge wif toyota. thus ,
veri simple , toyota = daihatsu = perodua. don believe go and check
out perodua myvi, daihatsu sirion and toyota passo. they are the
same is onli different country produce them. in fact they looks the
same too because they under 1 company, toyota. perodua myvi
avaliable in malaysia, daihatsu sirion avaliable in singapore and
toyota passo avaliable in japan. the engine are the same. juz lik
daihatsu terios and toyota rush. thus kelisa engine can be trusted
more than a picanto. power wise kelisa best. pickup can easily beat
a 1.6 litre. and morever it is more "tough" than picanto. go and
feel their "ceiling". the roof of the kelisa is much more tougher
than a picanto. but interior wise, picanto is beta. if u wan a FC
good, power good, long lasting, but don mind it small and simple
interior, kelisa. if u wan a comfortable interior bigger space but
a less trusted engine, picanto is good for u
simple, either u choose japan based, or korean based. ur
choice. beta is u test drive. u sure can feel a difference between
them.
