Verdict
The Perodua Myvi costs RM46,500, RM6,200 more than the Proton Iriz at RM40,300, but brings a 277-litre boot against 215 litres, LED headlamps and keyless push-button start. Both make 94 hp, use a CVT, have four airbags and carry five-star ASEAN NCAP ratings. The Iriz counters with a 2,555 mm wheelbase, 55 mm longer than the Myvi’s, plus hill-start assist and Bluetooth. For a Malaysian buyer carrying luggage regularly, the Myvi’s 62-litre boot advantage is hard to ignore; the Iriz makes sense when the lower entry price matters most.
Pick the Perodua Myvi if you want the larger 277-litre boot, a claimed 4.5 L/100 km figure and more convenience equipment.
Pick the Proton Iriz if you want to save RM6,200 while getting the longer 2,555 mm wheelbase, Bluetooth and hill-start assist.
