Perodua Debuts P-AssistGo, P-Rescue, SmartSentry at KLIMS

Perodua P-AssistGo, P-Rescue, and SmartSentry: EV Safety and Convenience Technologies for Malaysia

Perodua, Malaysia’s largest automotive manufacturer, unveiled three new electric vehicle (EV) technologies at the Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS) 2026: P-AssistGo, P-Rescue, and SmartSentry. These systems are designed to address common EV ownership challenges in Malaysia, including range anxiety, charging infrastructure accessibility, and vehicle security. P-AssistGo is a mobile application for route planning and charging station location; P-Rescue provides emergency roadside assistance tailored to EVs; and SmartSentry is a remote vehicle monitoring and alert system. All three services are intended for Perodua EV models sold in Malaysia and are being developed in collaboration with local partners such as Tenaga Nasional Berhad and the Malaysian Green Technology and Climate Change Corporation.

Key Facts

What Is P-AssistGo?

P-AssistGo is a mobile application developed by Perodua that provides real-time EV route planning, charging station location, and battery range optimisation for Malaysian drivers. It integrates with the vehicle’s telematics system to suggest the most efficient routes based on current battery level, traffic conditions, and charging station availability.

According to Perodua’s press release at KLIMS 2026, the app covers over 500 charging points operated by partners such as ChargeSini, JomCharge, and Gentari. A company spokesperson stated:

"P-AssistGo is designed to eliminate range anxiety for Malaysian EV users by giving them confidence that a charging station is always within reach, whether they are driving in the city or on the North-South Expressway."Perodua press release, 15 June 2026

P-AssistGo supports real-time charging station availability and is compatible with all Perodua EV models sold in Malaysia.

How Does P-Rescue Work?

P-Rescue is a 24/7 emergency roadside assistance service specifically for Perodua EVs. It covers battery depletion, charging cable failures, and other EV-specific breakdowns. When activated via the in-car SOS button or the P-AssistGo app, a trained technician is dispatched to the vehicle’s location.

The service includes a mobile charging unit capable of providing a 30 km range boost within 15 minutes. Perodua claims a target response time of 30 minutes in major urban centres and 60 minutes in rural areas. The programme is operated in partnership with AAM (Automobile Association of Malaysia) and local EV service centres.

P-Rescue is included free for the first year of Perodua EV ownership and can be renewed at RM 199 per year.

What Is SmartSentry?

SmartSentry is a remote vehicle monitoring and security system that uses onboard sensors and a 4G LTE connection to alert owners of unauthorised access, towing, or unusual vibrations. It also provides geofencing capabilities, allowing owners to set virtual boundaries and receive notifications if the vehicle moves outside them.

The system is designed for Malaysia’s tropical climate, with an IP65-rated external sensor module that withstands high humidity and temperatures up to 50°C. SmartSentry can be retrofitted to existing Perodua models (including non-EV) through authorised service centres, with installation taking approximately two hours.

SmartSentry uses a 4G LTE connection compatible with all major Malaysian mobile networks, including Maxis, Celcom, Digi, and Unifi Mobile.

Who Is This For in Malaysia?

These technologies are primarily aimed at urban and suburban Malaysian EV owners, particularly those living in condominiums and apartments in the Klang Valley, Penang, and Johor Bahru. Compact living spaces often lack dedicated home charging, making public charging and roadside assistance critical. P-AssistGo helps locate nearby charging points, while P-Rescue provides peace of mind for long-distance travel on highways such as the PLUS and LPT.

For owners of landed properties with home charging, SmartSentry adds an extra layer of security against theft or tampering, which is a growing concern in high-density residential areas. Perodua estimates that 70% of its EV customers in Malaysia live in multi-storey dwellings, based on internal surveys conducted in 2025.

These services are tailored to the needs of Malaysian EV drivers who face limited charging infrastructure and high vehicle theft rates in urban centres.

Common Questions

Is P-AssistGo available for all Perodua EV models?

Yes, P-AssistGo is pre-installed on all new Perodua EV models sold in Malaysia from the 2026 model year onwards. Owners of earlier Perodua EVs can download the app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and pair it with their vehicle using the onboard telematics unit.

Does P-Rescue cover breakdowns outside Peninsular Malaysia?

As of June 2026, P-Rescue coverage is limited to Peninsular Malaysia. Perodua has stated that it is working with partners in Sabah and Sarawak to extend the service by the end of 2027. For now, EV owners in East Malaysia are advised to use third-party roadside assistance.

Can SmartSentry be retrofitted to existing Perodua cars?

Yes, SmartSentry can be installed on any Perodua model (including petrol and hybrid vehicles) through authorised Perodua service centres. The retrofit kit costs RM 499 and includes the IP65 sensor module, wiring harness, and a one-year subscription to the 4G LTE data plan.
