Verdict

At RM46,500, the Myvi is RM23,499 cheaper to buy, with RM70 annual road tax and a 4.5 L/100 km rating from its 94 hp, 121 Nm 1.3-litre petrol engine. The QV-E costs RM69,999, adds a RM215 monthly BaaS battery rental for nine years, yet brings 201 hp, 285 Nm and a 7.5-second 0-100 km/h time against the Myvi’s 11.5 seconds. Its 52.5 kWh battery claims 370 km range, while the longer 2,680 mm wheelbase and 320-litre boot give it a more useful cabin-and-luggage proposition.

The QV-E FWD (with battery) (RM93,999) sits above every Myvi variant here, so the verdict compares the closest-priced pairing — use the selectors above to match any two trims.

Myvi

Pick the Perodua Myvi if upfront cost, lower RM70 road tax and a full-size spare tyre matter more than EV pace and driver assistance.

QV-E

Pick the Perodua QV-E if you can accommodate the RM215 monthly battery rental and want 201 hp performance, 370 km EV range and substantially fuller safety kit.
