Verdict
At RM50,900, the lower-priced Myvi delivers the same 102 hp/136 Nm 1.5-litre petrol engine, D-CVT, 10.2-second 0-100 km/h time and 4.7 L/100 km rating as the RM54,900 version. The RM4,000 gap is therefore equipment-led. The dearer car adds two curtain airbags for six in total, daytime running lights, front parking sensors and a 6.9-inch touchscreen with MirrorLink and voice recognition. For a Malaysian buyer, that is sensible money chiefly for the extra head protection and easier parking; otherwise, the cheaper car is the sharper buy.
Pick the Perodua Myvi if RM50,900 and identical 102 hp performance matter more than curtain airbags, front sensors and touchscreen functions.
Pick the Perodua Myvi if you will pay RM4,000 more for six airbags, front parking sensors, LED daytime running lights and the 6.9-inch touchscreen.
