What do we have here? A brochure of the so-called 2016 Perodua Myvi facelift has appeared on various social media platforms, showing a Myvi 1.5 Advance wearing a new two-tone look. Set to be unveiled this Saturday, May 7, it looks like the update will be a (very) minor one. That’s not really a surprise, of course, considering the current version was only introduced early last year.
The image above reveals that the Myvi will gain a new Electric Blue-Ebony Black two-tone combo, with the pillars, roof, side mirrors, rear spoiler and back door garnish all receiving the dark finish. Also new are matching (black) door visors, which could be offered as standard on the top model (currently a cost option). The rest of the vehicle appears unchanged.
Currently, the Perodua Myvi 1.5 is priced at RM49,968.50 (MT) and RM52,968.50 (AT) for the SE variants, while the range-topping Advance Edition goes for RM57,968.51, on-the-road including insurance. It’s yet unclear if there will be changes to the pricing. So folks, what do you think of this new version?

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments focus on the perceived lack of significant updates or "facelift" features for the 2016 Perodua Myvi, with many calling it a mere paint job or a two-tone look rather than a true facelift. Several commenters express disappointment, criticizing the car's safety features like VSC, ABS, and airbags, and urging Perodua to include such features as standard. There’s also criticism of the car's design and pricing, with some suggesting the model is overpriced and outdated compared to Japanese or Proton vehicles. Others mention that the Myvi remains Malaysia’s best-selling car despite these criticisms. Political and social debates are frequently injected, with some commenters linking car safety and pricing issues to government policies, but most agree that the update is lacking and feel the car still does not meet safety standards expected in Europe.
