The new updated Perodua Myvi SE has been launched in the Malaysian market, so let’s have a look through what’s new with this Special Edition model compared to the recently unveiled Perodua Myvi facelift.
The Perodua Myvi SE is essentially an easy way to accessorize your Perodua Myvi with all the costs of making it look different from the run of the mill Myvi factored into the hire purchase loan for you and installed straight from the factory.
What you get is a new bodykit featuring a different front bumper and a different rear bumper, a spoiler, and different 14″ alloy wheels. The new rear bumper features a diffuser-like design which looks so much better than the pre-facelift Myvi SE’s rear bumper. The taillamps are also now of a clear design and keep the LED lighting units inside while the headlamps are of a blacked out design.
On the interior you get leather upholstery on the seats as well as the steering wheel. The head unit is no longer integrated but of a 2-DIN type and comes standard with CD, MP3 and WMA capability. It can also load your music files from a USB drive, and it has Bluetooth capabilities. The instrument panel follows the facelifted Myvi’s three-gauge design but instead of being blue and white, it lights up in amber.
Interestingly the cute yellow Myvi that we saw in the spyshots is missing from the line-up of both the standard facelifted Myvi and this new Myvi SE. You do get one new colour – Tangerine Orange. Other colour options for the SE include Ivory White, Ebony Black, Glittering Siver or Pearl White. Pearl White is designated a “special metallic” colour that costs more than your normal metallic.
Basically that’s it – the enhancements are all aesthetics. The engine is still the same 1.3 litre unit producing 86 horsepower at 6,000rpm and 116Nm of torque at 3,200rpm, and the brakes are still discs at the front and drums at the rear.

Many find the facelift unappealing, describing it as overdone, ugly, or overpriced, with specific criticism on the headlamps and bodykits. Some feel that the updates are just cosmetic with no real performance enhancements, and regard the price as too high for what is offered, especially given the engine remains unchanged. A number of commenters compare it unfavorably to earlier models or other cars like Proton and Proton's Persona, highlighting dissatisfaction with the design and value. There’s also skepticism about advertising claims that it "rules the road," with concerns over handling and safety features. Overall, sentiments are largely negative, with many viewers disappointed by the lack of substantive upgrades.
