It was selling at RM50~60K price range back then. Perodua did a trial run for Nautica 4x4 with 200 units locally produce bumpers and fully imported from Japan.
Locally produce bumpers meant local paint supplier also LAH, so body and bumper color if you find one today sure to be offset a lot.
2008 intro price was RM80~90K range. So lost local consumer interest LAH. Not to mention small SUV hype have not started in local soil.
Toyota Rush was an extension of Nautica but RWD like Toyota Avanza, and so since Nautica have no local interest Perodua in 2012 manufacture Toyota Avanza locally and UMW Toyota sold with with a good margin.
Now base on the above, you will understand why Daihatsu Xenia / Toyota Rush / Perodua Aruz share the same platform and structure.
IF we go back to 4x4 segment, Perodua had only 2 models which is Kembara and Nautica. Aruz is not 4x4, more like a van or Avanza segment.
So can we rule now that basically Perodua Aruz was basically a jack up Perodua Rusa replacement?
Many people here compare this Aruz with Proton X70... due to close launch dates but both are different segment vehicle.
If to compare, then should be Proton ERTIGA OR Proton EXORA .... LAH!

Hezeri Samsuri, the local motor journalist blame Proton for nautica's flop haha. Can't find the video anymore, but i sempat watch he was driving in aruz, then wanna story about nautica.
Dia claim Proton sakit hati, why national car go fully import from Japan, take shortcut ini P2. P2 kononnya gentleman, so they stopped selling because of it.
Kepala bapak kau. Nautica rm90k, even Rush was cheaper, and Rush had 7 seats while Nautica 5 seater. Nautica only have CBU Japan as its selling point, else Rush cheaper and bigger, who wanna buy P2? Lepas tu buat2 kata kononnya Nautica actually selling well, dalam bandar jualan ada, wanna deny the wiki entry about it sold less than 500 units.
Kononnya all these reasons Nautica failed are fake news spread by keyboard warriors paid by tongsan, while he's telling the truth and not paid at all. Dasar pembohong punya ini HS.
Dengki la tu kat Proton that X70 is selling quite well. Dah la he made defamatory claims against Proton a lot lately. One day i hope Geely may feel it is serious enough to sue his pants off.
