Models

Three variations of Rusa vans are offered: The CX (1.3-litre, two seat version), the EX (1.3 litre, five seat version) and the GX (1.6-litre, seven seat version). The CX is primarily intended to serve as a freight vehicle, while the EX and GX are intended for private use. The van is also used by Malaysian police and fire fighting forces.

The vehicle's name "Rusa" is the Malay translation of "Deer". Later replaced by the Perodua logo, the van's original logo was a galloping deer.
