Perodua Viva Engines

Powering the Perodua Viva is a range of three engines, which all come with DVVT Variable Valve Timing. Yes, DVVT even for the 660cc and 850cc models. The 660cc EF-VE engine is a high reviver, with peak power of 47 horsepower coming in at a high 7,200rpm. The engine readline is an astronomical 8,000rpm (look at the photo of the meter panel below), numbers usually associated with performance cars, but is actually quite typical of small displacement K-car engines. Peak torque of 58Nm arrives at 4,400rpm.

The 850cc engine option is the ED-VE, making slightly higher horsepower than the 660cc at 52 horsepower, however it is achieved at a lower 6,000rpm. Peak torque is also higher and arrives earlier in the rev range – 76Nm at 4,000rpm. The biggest displacement engine is the EJ-VE which we are all familiar with since the Myvi 1.0 liter – 60 horsepower at 6,000rpm and 90Nm of torque achieved at a low 3,600rpm. All cars come with a 5-speed manual gearbox, but the 1000cc models have 4-speed automatic gearboxes.

Here is a table with the claimed fuel consumption figures of the Perodua Viva compared to it’s competitors:

Different Trim Levels

noreply@blogger.com (http://4lifehaniza.blogspot.com) — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:48:00 +0000

L-R: 660 and 850cc, 1000cc, 1000cc Premium

The Perodua Viva comes in four trim levels - 660cc, 850cc, 1000cc and 1000cc premiums. The Perodua Viva 660cc has trim level that is obviously for cost-saving reasons. Bumpers, door handles and wing mirrors are colored materials - that usual grayish stuff that's unpainted. Even the door trim has no fabric. The audio system is a radio and cassette player only, without an option for the CD, and there are only front speakers. Wheels are 12 inch steel wheels. Seat covers are specified as "standard grade", whatever that means. The side and front turn signals are amber lense units. There are no power windows.

The Perodua Viva 850cc takes it up one notch with the door handles and bumpers painted to body color, though the door is still without fabric. Wheels are still 12 inch steel wheels, but a full wheel cap is supplied. Power windows are available. Seat cover material is specified as "medium grade". The audio system is equipped with a CD player and also 4-speakers. It also has powered windows, which means you can adjust it's angle from within the car through button control, but it does not have a Retracting feature. Both the 660cc and 850cc have no power steering!

The Perodua Viva 1000cc adds some nifty features like the under-seat tray, Headlamp warning buzzer (in case you leave your car with your Headlamp on), seat height adjuster, and most importantly the power steering. The wheels are still steel wheels with full wheel cap covers, but are 13 inch in size. Side and front turn signals are of the clear lens type. The premium version has the usual Creature Comforts such as electrically Retractable side mirrors, a first for a Kia car. Even the premium Myvi does not have this feature. Other premium features are the height-adjustable driver's seat and the vanity mirror on the sun visor.

Of course, the features that are a must for any premium line version of a local car are ABS and dual SRS Airbags, available only on the 1000cc Premium trim of the Perodua Viva. The 1000cc Premium has what Kia calls "High Grade" seats, while the 1000cc standard uses the same seats as the medium grade 850cc.

Other than the different engines, other technical specs you should take note of is the suspension system. All Perodua Viva cars use are the front McPherson struts and a Torsion beam setup at the rear, but the 1000cc models have an additional Stabilizer bar in front.
