At Perodua, safety is a top priority. Whether you’re commuting through the busy streets of Kota Kinabalu or taking a family road trip to Kinabalu Park, we understand the importance of feeling secure while on the road. That’s why Perodua vehicles come equipped with a range of advanced safety features, ensuring both driver and passengers are protected in any situation.

In this post, we’ll highlight the key safety features across Perodua’s models and how they help you stay safe.

1. Dual Airbags for Front Impact Protection

Perodua cars come standard with dual airbags in the front to protect the driver and front passenger during a collision. These airbags deploy quickly and effectively in the event of a crash, reducing the impact force and minimizing injury to the vehicle’s occupants.

Where it matters: This is especially useful in urban settings like Kota Kinabalu, where sudden stops and collisions are more common due to traffic.

2. Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) is one of the most important safety features in any car. It helps prevent the wheels from locking up during sudden braking, which allows the driver to maintain steering control in emergency situations.

Why it’s important: ABS is especially useful on wet or slippery roads, common during Sabah’s rainy seasons. It ensures that the driver can stop the vehicle without losing control, which is crucial for avoiding accidents.

3. Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD)

Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD) works alongside ABS to optimize braking performance based on the weight of the vehicle. EBD ensures that the correct amount of braking force is applied to each wheel, depending on the load, improving the vehicle’s stability and reducing stopping distances.

Real-world benefit: Whether you’re carrying a heavy load on the way to Tuaran or navigating hilly terrains in Ranau, EBD ensures safer and more effective braking performance.

4. Vehicle Stability Control (VSC)

Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) is a feature that helps prevent the car from skidding or losing control. It automatically adjusts engine power and applies brakes to individual wheels to help keep the car stable during sharp turns or slippery conditions.

For safer turns: Whether you’re driving on a winding mountain road in Sabah or navigating a tight corner, VSC ensures that your Perodua stays stable, preventing dangerous situations.

5. Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)

When driving on steep inclines, Hill-start Assist Control (HAC) prevents your vehicle from rolling backward when you release the brake pedal. It holds the car in place for a few seconds, giving you enough time to accelerate and move forward without rolling backward.

Key for Sabah’s hills: This feature is perfect for Sabah’s hilly terrain, especially when you’re driving to Kundasang or Poring Hot Springs. HAC makes hill starts safer and less stressful.

6. Rear Parking Sensors and Camera

Parking can be challenging, especially in busy urban areas like Kota Kinabalu. Perodua models come equipped with rear parking sensors and, in some models, a rear-view camera to help you safely park your vehicle. These sensors alert you to any obstacles behind the car, preventing collisions while reversing.

Stress-free parking: With these features, parking in tight spaces or busy parking lots becomes a breeze, giving you peace of mind while maneuvering in urban areas.

7. Traction Control System (TCS)

Traction Control System (TCS) helps prevent wheel spin during acceleration by reducing engine power or applying brakes to individual wheels. It ensures that the vehicle maintains optimal traction, especially when driving on uneven surfaces or in poor weather conditions.

Perfect for rural roads: If you’re driving through rural areas of Sabah, like Semporna, where roads may be uneven, TCS helps maintain grip and prevents the wheels from spinning, especially when driving on dirt or gravel roads.

8. Pre-Tensioner Seatbelts

Perodua models come with pre-tensioner seatbelts that automatically tighten the seatbelt during a collision. This feature helps secure occupants in place, reducing the risk of injury during impact.

Added protection: Combined with airbags and other features, pre-tensioner seatbelts ensure that all passengers are held securely in their seats during a collision.

9. Pedestrian Protection

Safety isn’t just about protecting the people inside the car—it’s also about protecting pedestrians. Perodua vehicles are designed with features that reduce the severity of injury to pedestrians in case of a collision, such as energy-absorbing structures on the front of the car.

Community safety: Whether you’re driving through busy streets in Kota Kinabalu or more rural areas in Sabah, pedestrian protection features ensure that your car is designed with the safety of others in mind as well.
