It is a small five-door hatchback vehicle on a monocoque framework that can seat five people. The Kancil, like its predecessors, is a slightly modified Daihatsu Mira L200; rebadging is common in Malaysia's automotive industry, having begun in 1985 with first car manufacturer Proton , which based its cars on retired models of Mitsubishi Motors . Subsequent Kancils were only rejuvenated cosmetically as Perodua maintained

88-567: A 660 cc engine and both paired to a manual transmission. 4-speed manual for the EX and 5-speed manual for the GX. In January 1995, the Perodua Kancil EZ was launched.

If the steering wheel has the Perodua logo chromed instead of moulded and there's additional silver trim, then there's airbags. The Viva comes with 3-cylinder engine choices: 660 cc, 850 cc and 1000 cc. They are familiar engines but updated with modern technology such as DVVT (Dynamic Variable Valve Timing) and EFI , and they all have twin overhead camshafts to provide even stronger low-speed pulling power, resulting in fewer gearchanges, yet also manages to increase top end power. Other innovations include

176-508: A chin gland for marking each other as mates or antagonists, and, in the case of the water chevrotain, anal and preputial glands for marking territory . Their territories are relatively small, on the order of 13–24 hectares (32–59 acres), but neighbors generally ignore each other, rather than compete aggressively. Some of the species show a remarkable affinity with water, often remaining submerged for prolonged periods to evade predators or other unwelcome intrusions. This has also lent support to

For the 1 litre manual the 0–100 km/h time is about 12.8 seconds. The engine torque band is not particularly peaky and timing it takes to hit 70 km/h (43 mph)

308-441: A thermoregulatory innoviation that allows other artiodactyls to exploit hot arid habitats. Though most species feed exclusively on plant material, the water chevrotain occasionally takes insects and crabs or scavenges meat and fish. Like other ruminants, they lack upper incisors .

The Perodua Viva was exported to Sri Lanka, Brunei, Nepal, Mauritius and Singapore. In August 2008, the Perodua Viva was officially launched in Sri Lanka available with the same six variants as in the Malaysian market. Between 2010 and 2014, Econ Motors Sdn Bhd (Perodua's then-distributor in Brunei) launched

484-536: Is interesting to note that other variants either had no radio or a radio with cassette making this variant the only Kancil variant to come with a CD player.

The family was widespread and successful from the Oligocene (34 million years ago) through the Miocene (about 5 million years ago), but has remained almost unchanged over that time and remains as an example of an archaic ruminant type. They have four-chambered stomachs to ferment tough plant foods, but the third chamber is poorly developed.

The names "chevrotain" and "mouse-deer" have been used interchangeably among the Asian species, though recent authorities typically have preferred chevrotain for the species in the genus Moschiola and mouse-deer for the species in the genus Tragulus . Consequently, all species with pale-spotted or -striped upper parts are known as "chevrotain" and without are known as "mouse-deer". The Telugu name for
