Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

Launched in 2025, the Perodua QV-E is a five-seat B-segment electric SUV for drivers who want a 201 hp front-wheel-drive EV with a 52.5 kWh battery and 370 km range. It is available in battery-leasing and battery-included forms, with prices starting from RM69,999.

QV-E in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the QV-E receives a substantial price cut rather than a new model-year redesign. Battery-as-a-Service pricing falls to RM63,499, while the version with the battery included costs RM87,499. East Malaysian deliveries begin from July 15 at RM3,000 more than Peninsular pricing. Perodua also reduces parts and labour prices by an average of 10% for the QV-E, and launch-price buyers receive a RM16,500 refund.

Which variant to buy

There are two QV-E variants, both with the same 52.5 kWh battery, 370 km range, 201 hp motor, front-wheel drive and five seats. The FWD (BAAS) costs RM69,999 and suits buyers comfortable with the battery-leasing arrangement. The FWD (with battery) is RM93,999 and is the one to get if outright battery ownership matters more than the lower entry price. On paper, the extra RM24,000 is for the battery ownership structure, not extra performance.

Perodua QV-E buyer's guides & reviews

Verdict

The QV-E has had a difficult start, with controversy around its original battery-leasing plan, production delays linked to quality issues and slow sales. The lower pricing and outright-purchase option address its biggest barriers. At RM87,499 with the battery included, it undercuts the RM95,000 Seres 3, RM100,000 BYD Atto 2 and RM103,800 Proton eMas 7. Its 201 hp output and 370 km range make it a credible B-segment EV proposition.
