Verdict
The RM54,900 Myvi 1.5 H and RM59,900 Myvi 1.5 AV share the same 102 hp/136 Nm 1.5-litre engine, D-CVT, 10.2-second 0-100 km/h time and 4.7 L/100 km rating, so the RM5,000 gap does not buy extra pace. It buys useful daily-driver kit: adaptive cruise control with steering assist, Blind Spot Info System, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, a reverse camera and front dash cam. The H remains the sensible choice if those aids are not priorities; the AV is the one to stretch for if you regularly face motorway traffic and tight car parks.
Pick the Perodua Myvi 1.5 H if you want identical 102 hp performance and core active safety for RM5,000 less.
Pick the Perodua Myvi 1.5 AV if adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert and a reverse camera justify the extra RM5,000.
