New 2016 Perodua Myvi 1.5L facelift to debut on May 7

Now this is a surprise. According to a posting on Naza World’s Instagram account, the newly facelifted Perodua Myvi will make its debut at the “Riuh Bersama Perodua” event at Naza Mekar’s Perodua showroom at TTDI this Saturday, May 7.

The image posted depicts the refreshed model for 2016 (a facelift arrived in 2015) alongside the Axia and Alza. The words “introducing new Myvi 1.5 facelift” is an obvious indication that no change to the car’s mechanicals will be done. Therefore, expect the 1.5 litre 3SZ-VE DOHC four-cylinder petrol engine to retain its position under the hood, paired to either a five-speed manual or four-speed auto.

As for its updated looks, we’ll have to use our imagination (or wait for this Saturday), as the image doesn’t provide any hint on what the facelifted Myvi will look like. Some may speculate that the all-new Toyota Passo and Daihatsu Boon may serve as an inspiration here, both inside and out, though it may be a little far-fetched considering both models were only introduced just weeks ago.

Intrigued? So are we, but we’ll have to wait for the aforementioned event that takes place this weekend before we can get more details on the refreshed hatchback, including its pricing. For now, what do you think the facelifted Myvi will look like?

Comments

  • AI-generated Summary ✨

    The comments mainly focus on the perceptions of the upcoming 2016 Perodua Myvi 1.5L facelift, with many expressing excitement over new exterior features such as chrome door handles, black roofs, and sportier designs, while others critique it as a minor cosmetic update emphasizing “face-lifts” rather than a new model. Safety features like VSC and more airbags are highly requested, and some comments speculate on potential engine improvements and safety essentials like ESC. Several commenters compare the Myvi to other models and brand perceptions, with mixed sentiments—some praising Perodua's reliability and affordability, others criticizing the ongoing facelift approach or quality issues. Overall, there’s anticipation mixed with skepticism about the extent of the update, emphasizing consumer desire for meaningful upgrades beyond superficial changes.

  • Still using old Perodua logo and font. Perodua should terminate this dealership.

            This model, more than 10 years old, still doing facelift only….How much can Perodua squeeze this car. WTF…..Knowing P2, there would probably change the front 2headlamp n call it major facelift.

        If u sell facelifts,you maintain your volume till the new model comes,right?
        Protong has not only been selling facelifts,but new versions like iriz,Suprima,Preve BUT sales still kaput!!!
        Why?
        QUALITY AND PERCEPTION ISSUES….WHICH pROTONG failed to comprehend and respond to customer’s demands.
        Well Done,Aminar..but please rush the new version of Myvi.

        • Proton cannot have facelift because they don’t even know when the stock at yard can finish. You can’t be launching facelift while still clearing the existing stocks. If Proton launch facelift in 2016, customer will probably get it in 2018.

    • They also insist on having backlit speedometers which make drivers think their lights are on at night.

        Back-lit is fine. What is greatly missing is the indicator for telling the driver their (hi/fog/normal) lights are on.

    I somehow hope that Perodua added in ESC for this Myvi 1.5 facelift, but I doubt they did. Until now, Perodua has not sold a single car with ESC in Malaysia. Not even their U.K.-spec Myvi had it.

    This kind of facelift or whatever face or lift also need to riuh sekampung, i will say poordah. However, if Myvi comes with 1.0 (preferably turbo engine), minimum 4 airbags and VSC, that one will be more interesting.

    wth?! how many facelift for myvi already? 5? 6 or 7 times? no myvi replacement or what? change some spoiler, head lamp, tail light, etc then can sell for another 2-3 years. But no choice for malaysian, at least for local car perodua better than that proton who almost gulung tikar…

  • Funny how Perodua always launches something when Proton is busy (and very publicly) putting test mules on the road. It’s good marketing for them to quickly roll something out to be one step ahead of the game, I guess – sweep up some of the potential car buyers in the market before a new Proton launches. I hope at the very least they updated the safety kit to match the Iriz.

      Of course facelift comes easier than a new model.

      I’ve read somewhere before that new Proton cars must complete at least 100,000 km run as part of the whole test suite. Hence, the reson people saw it here and there in camo. Of which, I do believe that Perodua gonna walk the same route once they’re testing an all-new car too (if there’s any).

      • camtakpro on May 05, 2016 at 8:49 am

        Proton camo-ed test mules are only used for testing market responses in Paultan website.

        Nothing to do with really ‘testing’ the car. I said that because when the new model is released, buttons fall off, welding failed, aircon knob failed, design ugly. What kind of test?
