===== Perodua Kancil Overview =====

The Perodua Kancil is a city car produced by Perodua (Malaysia) from 1994 to 2009. A rebadged Daihatsu Mira, it was Perodua's first model and one of the cheapest cars on the Malaysian market. It was sold with 660cc and 850cc engines — carburetted at launch, with fuel injection (EFI) on the last variants.

==== Generations ====

^  Gen  ^  Years  ^  Nickname  ^  Common name  ^
|  K1  |  1994–1997  |  Lompat  |  Lampu petak  |
|  K2  |  1997–2000  |  Saloma  |  :::  |
|  K3  |  2000–2002  |  Milenium  |  :::  |
|  K4  |  2002–2009  |  Belalang  |  Lampu bulat  |

Generations are commonly grouped by headlamp shape: **Lampu petak** ("square lamp", K1–K3) and **Lampu bulat** ("round lamp", K4).

Because K1–K3 share a common frame and front fenders, most exterior parts are interchangeable; the restyling is limited to the front grille, front and rear bumper, as well as the front signal lamps. You can re-style between K1–K3 generations using aftermarket parts.

The K4 facelift introduced changes to the headlamp mounting frame, front fenders and rear, making most exterior parts non-interchangeable with K1–K3. The dashboard has also been updated, and the meter is electrically and mechanically incompatible (K1–K3 use a mechanical speedometer cable, while K4 uses an electronic pulse).

When shopping for spare parts, it’s important to use keywords "petak" or "bulat" for body parts.

=== Nickname Origins ===

  * **Lompat** (K1): //Lompat// ("jump"). Probably from the grille emblem of the //kancil// (mouse deer) in mid-leap. Note K2 carries the same emblem, so it doesn't distinguish K1 from K2.
  * **Saloma** (K2): The 1997 facelift had rounder, curvier lines. Probably named after the singer-actress Puan Sri Saloma, referencing her curvaceous silhouette.
  * **Milenium** (K3): Probably named for the 2000 facelift launching around the turn of the millennium.
  * **Belalang** (K4): //Belalang// ("grasshopper"), also //Mata Belalang// ("grasshopper eyes"). Probably from the 2002 facelift's rounder, larger headlamps.
