  • Passo is built with ‘soccer moms’ in mind, so the design is curvier and more feminine, while MyVi in Malaysia need to cater for both gender and wider usage demography – feminine and cute to attract female drivers while still having some bits of ‘garang’ appearance to make male drivers feel the sense of belonging.
    I kinda like the interior of Passo, maybe its the bright color of the materials or clearly the clever use of photography lightings but it creates a relaxing zen-like meditation comfort. Note the more useful design of the headrest for the front seats that actually supports the area of the neck better.

  • my personal view…

    FRONT:
    kudos to perodua designers for the myvi’s sportier looking headlights, grill, and bonnet compared to the passo. however, they seem to have tried too hard with the front bumper that it looks too crowded especially the 2-piece combination where the slap-on lower bumper looks like it comes from Brothers or ah beng shop. why didn’t they make a 1-piece bumper like the previous myvi?

    INTERIOR:
    this new myvi dashboard reminds me of alza and the new steering wheel design looks like they’re going backward in time! the passo and old myvi steering wheels look better. and somehow i find the passo’s dashboard more interesting especially the flat top where you can use to put stuff on when not driving. also the passo internal door panel and handle are so much cooler than this new myvi’s. nonetheless, myvi’s seat looks a bit comfier.

    REAR:
    hey perodua recycles the first gen myvi rear reflector into this new myvi! cheap! perhaps to recover the cost of redesigning the headlights and dashboard. somehow, i find the passo rear looks better than this new myvi. no comment on the tail lights but I think the passo rear bumper looks much better due to their bigger size and plate number location.

    however, at the end of the day this car being a ‘myvi’ and malaysians being malaysians, it will continue to be the best seller again and again…

  • Cleary New MYVI look better on the front design, equally good at the real design despite CRV look alike, Interior wise MYVI look marginally better & meaty against Passo simplicity look.

    Bravo ! Perodua U make us Malaysian Proud, Job well done.

  • Myvi has sharper look. I’ll give a thumbs of to P2 if compare the exterior with Passo. I guess Passo has K3VE2 vs Myvi K3VE?

    New Myvi 1.3 maybe can defeat Proton Saga 1.3, but not Proton Saga 1.6L. Increasing sales of New Myvi 1.5 next year will decrease sales of Perodua Alza, means it killing Perodua Alza’s sales. Wonder New Myvi 1.5 can defeat Proton Persona Elegence 1.6…hehehe..can’t wait what will happen to Perodua after Proton Emas and Proton Tuah are launch..

    What can we conclude?

    Perodua is a car restyler.

    Not as the same on the outside, but all 100% same on the inside.

    Instrument panel, bumper, doors, panels, seats, engine mounting, door trims, head lining, windscreen, power window, under body… Myvi Passo can switch anytime…

  • I gotta say The new Myvi interior tops all of the cars shown in this post, followed by the old myvi, and last would be the passo… Exterior wise, The old myvi tops all, followed by passo and then the new myvi…

        what atan means is if the ORI car is suck what else the rebadging one. just having big tires doesn’t makes rebadging model better than ORI.
