Last week, the Perodua Myvi made its official launch debut in Brunei, where it is available in two variants – the 1.3G and S-Edition – with the latter being a kitted-up version of the 1.3G. At the time, it was uncertain if the body kit and accessories fitted to the S-Edition were the work of GHK Motors, the official Perodua distributor in the country, or if they came from Perodua themselves.
However, we now have an answer, as Perodua has formally stated that the S-Edition’s items were sourced independently by its appointed distributor in Brunei. According to an official statement by Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad, president and CEO of Perodua, the national carmaker said it is currently engaging with GHK Motors for more details about the variant to ensure that the add-ons meet its required standards.
He goes on to say that the introduction of the S-Edition was an attempt by the distributor to introduce a variant that was better suited to their market needs. “We understand that the introduction of the Myvi S-Edition has created some confusion with our loyal customers and we hope that this statement has given some clarification to this matter,” said Zainal.
As a recap, the S-Edition bears a close resemblance to the Myvi GT that was on display at the 2018 KL International Motor Show (KLIMS). It features a bolder front grille, a front splitter, honeycomb mesh grille and intake inserts, S-Edition badging, fan-style 14-inch alloy wheels, decals, side skirts, a rear diffuser element and a roof-mounted spoiler.
With Perodua’s stance on the matter, sorry folks, this is not the Myvi SE or GT you’re looking for. We’ll have to wait a little longer to see how or if an official, sportier-looking third-generation Myvi will happen. Fingers crossed.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
It is not uncommon for distributors to do their own things. However I have always wonder what happens with the original parts. Are they scrapped or are they kept for spares? Or what?
Like how Kah Motors been selling Honda accessories last time, Myvi owners here can buy garang bodikit from Brunei Perodua online.
Perodua is just as guilty in allowing their distros to Ah Bengfied mod their cars and giving it factory warranties. Call in the fashion police to arrest Perodua & GHK Motors!
Wow. That’s ugly.
Myvi S edition only comes in 1.3 engine which stands for Myvi Slow Edition.
Where can kedai abang source this bumper from Brunei?
“The national carmaker said it is currently engaging with GHK Motors for more details about the variant to ensure that the add-ons meet its required standards.”
Wait, does that mean you did not discuss before the launch?!?! How?!?!
…in the meantime, kedai fiber bosses are busy copying the new bumper design for their mass production.
Myvi fans rejoice!

Saw Red Myvi with that exactly same bodykit here in Malaysia already.

Myvi 1.5 can’t keep up with me after irradiating me with the high beam on the PLUS Highway. I smoke him 800m away with GPS speed of 182km/hr only. Padan muka… Hahahahaha
Wow get yaris drl… Untungla bruneian
Its a surprise to both Perodua and the public too that an appointed dealer can introduce “large” change to a new car without even consulting Perodua first.Near embarrassing, to say the least. Question also arises on warranty issues and insurance.
Its rare for a dealer to introduce such change. The normal practices are tinting, some decals here and there, but not a massive bumper and aero kit change.
