Only the steering wheel was taken from Perodua MyVI, the rest of the dashboard's from Japan.
The front were a slightly rounded compared to Toyota Rush.
The rear seats can be split-folded 60:40.
Decent Rear legroom. Though I found the legroom a bit inadequate (I'm only 5 feet 9).
The beautiful yet compact engine bay. MOST Parts have Japanese Characters. Even the battery was "PANASONIC" brand. Unheard of.
The Nautica was powered by the same engine as Toyota Rush 1.5L 3SZ-VE DVVT (VVTI). 4 speed Automatic only. Unlike the Rush which were Long wheelbase 2WD and 7 seater, the Nautica were original wheelbase (100mm shorter) and FULL TIME 4WD. The saleslady proudly said that the Nautica's CBU from Japan. Only the steering (taken from MyVi) and bumpers were Peroduas. Only 2 colours were available, Met Black and Met Grey.
BUT and a BIG BUT, the price's a JOKE. RM89,000 for Automatic Nautica. Add additional RM3,000, you can get its elder brother, Toyota Rush . Also, a New Vios 1.5S's RM2,000 cheaper. So as the New City 1.5 VTEC, RM4,000 cheaper. No wonder Perodua Boss targeted a modest 200 units sales monthly. A far cry, compared to MyVi's 6,000 units monthly sales.
