Perodua QV-E name and logo trademarked in Malaysia – name revealed for new EV launching this year?
Perodua has filed a trademark application for QV-E name and logo with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO), as sighted by local automotive news site CarPlus.
The QV-E logo sighted here wears blue accents, partially on the ‘Q’ and on the ‘E’ in its entirety, the colour typically used to signify electrification, or otherwise being “earth-friendly” in the larger automotive sphere. There isn’t official confirmation of the QV-E name at this point, though Perodua has previously also filed “Qve” with MyIPO, as sighted by Funtasticko in July last year, which lends weight to this iteration of the name.
The image of the red crossover seen here – to which we’ve appended the QV-E logo – is based on Perodua’s final EV prototype at the Malaysia Autoshow 2025 as rendered by Theophilus Chin, who was also at MAS 2025.
So far, we know that Perodua’s first EV will have a targeted real-world range of between 400 km to 410 km, with a LFP battery from CATL. Performance targets are a 0-100 km/h time of between six and seven seconds, and a top speed of around 165km/h.
As something that is aimed at a very broad section of the market, battery health and replacement costs are of concern to the general public, and to that end Perodua is taking ownership of its first EV’s batteries with a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) scheme.
This lowers the cost of the car and ensures that owners will always have a battery in the best condition, and a battery swap can be conducted in just 30 minutes, says Perodua. More about what we know so far on Perodua’s first EV, here.
