Verdict
At RM46,500, the Myvi costs RM41,500 less than the RM88,000 Yaris, while bringing a 4.5 L/100 km rated figure, 11.5-second 0-100 km/h time and a 985 kg kerb weight. The Toyota answers with a stronger 105 hp/150 Nm 1.5-litre, seven airbags instead of four, pre-collision braking and a 360-degree camera. It is also 245 mm longer, with a 50 mm longer wheelbase and a slightly larger 286-litre boot. For a Malaysian buyer on a firm budget, the Myvi is the rational call; the Yaris earns its extra money chiefly through safety and equipment.
Pick the Perodua Myvi if RM41,500 in savings, a 4.5 L/100 km rated consumption figure and remote boot release matter more than extra safety hardware.
Pick the Toyota Yaris if you want 150 Nm, seven airbags, pre-collision braking and a 360-degree camera.
