Car prices up across the board? Not so. While 2016 has brought about new and higher prices for Honda, Toyota, Lexus, Kia, Peugeot, Citroen, Audi, Mitsubishi, Nissan (announced today, up in April) and even national carmaker Proton, there have been bright spots.
Prices for the Mercedes-Benz C-Class, BMW 1-Series and BMW 3-Series have come down thanks to Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) duty incentives. Down the scale, market leader Perodua has held on to 2015 prices despite pressure on margins from the forex effect. Not only that, P2’s is now dangling a RM3,000 “cash redemption” for the Myvi. The promo is for the month of March 2016.
The fine print reads “for selected Myvi variants only”. We enquired, and the variants eligible for the RM3,000 rebate are the base Standard G and the range topping Advance.
The Myvi 1.3 Standard G starts from RM40,862 for the manual and RM43,862 for the auto, OTR including insurance, before discount. The Myvi 1.5 Advance is priced at RM57,968 for solid paint and RM58,368 for metallic. Click here to see the equipment list for each Myvi variant. The company added a 1.3 Premium XS variant in September 2015.

Hi, I bet you work for Proton. we know proton put all these stuff on their cars but “DO THEY WORK”??? the answer is no… I am not a fan of P2 either but at least they manage to be market leader due to one fact. quality better than P1. you have put all the gadgets and safety on your car but if no quality then you will have no chance.
Last time, there’s also a basic Myvi with RM37k (with 1.0 engine, manual gearbox only). Although the power might not be really good (but for me it’s still ok with normal driving, even Mercedes GLA200 for me also can be very underpowered), it’s a good starter car for fresh grads/university students plus it was ‘slightly’ better than Axia in certain aspect and lot more better than Viva.
Far better than Iriz also.
Got VDC?
The 1.0 was available on the previous generation Myvi only. But it was gradually dropped from the lineup due to poor demand.
I have no idea why Malaysians have to beg our national car company for basic safety equipment. This is so basic. It is something a responsible car company will do.
How do you sell a car to the public without the basic safety features?
p2 just think to make money from people, and give it to Toyota to make Japan more richer.
people still buy because they are corrupted with japanese goods.
Smart Consumers,dont buy yet.Hold for 4 months,towards Raya.You may get double the discounts.
Perodua has been making tons of cash,let them suffer a little,then they will give you bigger rebates when stocks overflow.
Be smart.Work smart.Spend smart.
Smart consumers, pls dun buy this moving death trap. Choose safer cars such as P1 Iriz. It will save ur life whn u need it.
Perodua marketing is smart. Their target market for their cars are mainly the 5 million odd mat rempits. Do you think the average mat rempit gives a shit about safety features? In fact the lesser safety it has the better thrill factor. And obviously none of the rempits are reading your comment here so your call to hold buying for few months is not going to work.
Axia is different segment and target. Overalll it is a lot better than Viva and slightly better than Myvi in terms of fuel consumption. Now, Axia standard G also get ABS, EBD, BA while Myvi G still doesn’t have. Although Axia’s engine sound not compromise, but it use new technology, fully synthetic, timing chain, 10000km service interval. For me Axia it’s quite okay for city car. But not suitable for long distance journey.
What Axia engine new technology ?? It is used in Indonesia for donkey years already. It has no variable valve tech like what the previous Viva had and the engine vibrates like crazy compare to a 4 cylinder Myvi.
Come end of year, give rm4999 discount. Myvi, more than 10 years model. Slow sales, blame the banks.
That’s right…. down baby down!!! Hopefully other would slowly (reluctantly?) follow suit. The drop in sales and pressure from Perodua should help.
Dah tak laku la tu…
Careful with the base model… No ABS even.
well buy one this month since cheap. :)
like that mean Perodua only want March sales… why just not reverse the old price, let see how automotive sales in 2016
Clearing the 1.3 standard & 1.5 Advance only,not the whole myvi model lineup.Meaning this model no demand,prevent to laying in stockyards like nobody care.
