It’s now been five years since the launch of the current second-generation Perodua Myvi – and more than a year after the facelifted model was introduced – which means that a brand-new one is due soon. The car’s expected base, the new Toyota Passo/Daihatsu Boon, was unveiled earlier in the year, leaving us to imagine what one wearing the P badge and ubiquitous nameplate would look like.
Apparently, our resident rendering expert Theophilus Chin was thinking of the same thing, and has worked his Photoshop brushes to create his vision of a next-gen Myvi. Starting with the Passo, he adapted the front fascia of the recently-launched Perodua Bezza to the body of the Toyota.
The result is actually fairly pleasing to the eye – the Bezza’s wide set grille and full-width lower air intake works well on the Passo’s boxy design. The bright yellow paint of this car certainly helps as well, although whether Perodua is willing to return to such a striking hue – yellow was last used on the pre-facelifted Myvi 1.5 SE and Extreme variants – remains to be seen.
The next Myvi is expected to use a range of new 1.3 litre and 1.5 litre Toyota NR engines, including the 94 hp/121 Nm 1NR-VE 1.3 litre mill used in the Bezza. Those engines will almost certainly be matched to either a five-speed manual gearbox or a four-speed electronic automatic transmission (E-AT).
Also expected to be inherited from the Bezza are the new technologies introduced on the new sedan, including keyless entry, push button start, an Eco Idle automatic engine start/stop system and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) on range-topping variants. As the Myvi generally arrives a year after the Toyota/Daihatsu models, expect the new one to be launched next year.

O Dear!!!
Stil four speed auto?
I heard news that the next Myvi will only use the Passo’s platform & engine but it will be mostly designed in house by Perodua. Kinda like the Seat Leon using the Golf’s platform.
Still a ugly rubbish
Still a best selling rubbish and definitely trump whatever “game changer”, “BMW of Asia” Tanjung Malim can throw against it for nine years.
In your pea sense, majority Malaysian might have a “rubbish” sense, but that doesn’t negate the fact that this rubbish makes big money and your “game changer” beg for 1.5 billion loan.
In business, making money is king, syiok sendiri is nothing if you can’t make money.
Well done Perodua in the Bezza model. Now it would be even better if you could include 6 air-bags, autonomous emergency braking, pedestrian collision warning and lane departure warning in this new Perodua Myvi model. I’m sure you will smash Proton’s sales figure.
I think current myvi have edgier styling.
Looks hideous! Theo I’m sure you can do better than this. Give us more stylish and bold design! Your designing skills seem to have weaken quite significantly! What happened??
I think Theo had done his best. The original Passo design was too fugly to begin with. I doubt Perodua can do any better.
My R&D guys tell me they only need 3 months to ready this car from jepunis overlords CBU to rebadging and into showroom. Most of the 3 month time taken is to figure out how to ah bengfied the car to suit MY pipu taste as the No1 choice, cuz we confident thats what MY pipu want. OEM ah beng.
Oso we do the best to think how to lighten the car by removing sound insulation, remove safety equipment, remove DVVT, make thinner panels, etc, cuz we confident thats what MY pipu want. To fly with big bro godcar and cucuk BMWs on hiway.
Not only this reduction saves cost, we oso can comply to instructions from our jepunis overlords that poor ASEAN lives dun matter, so reduce their population. Although our moving deathtraps r not cheap in the 1st place, its not like u got any choice. If u choose other brands, it means u r P1 supporter and BN lapdog. We r confident about that.
So buy my P2 NOW! Have confidence!
It doesn’t matter john. We just want a very good looking car with reliability, good after sales support, good safety (5 stars sure can archeive given 5 stars for Bezza already) powerful Toyota engines and transmissions and low nvh. Malaysians don’t want loud and noisy underpower Proton engines that roar like a dying cow, poor after sales services, poor safety when crash airbags dunno if will open or not, cars that can breakdown anytime anywhere, cars that make unknown weird noises after few months of ownership, poor 2nd hand value, jerky transmission and rubbish Proton junk cars. Ppl will buy Perodua and not Proton. Accept that fact John – a Saga owner
YES! Correct correct! Pipu wans reliability! And what better car than those from P2 that will reliably brings pipu to early afterlife!
So remember to buy Bisa or this new Myvi from me! It will be here in 3 mths according to our bumper R&D guys cuz u dun have to wait for camo test here, camo test there, camo test until Matt Damon comes home from Mars. Unlike P1, Honda, Mesidis, BMW, Hyundai and some say Rolls Royce too.
PM me now for best package. With my fren from Nirvana, I confident gip u bestest reliable package! But if u think ur life is worthy, better go for topkek spec, ya.
Hazlinda i think u still living in the past, P1 has definitely has improved in so many ways and i think this time they definitely will have better sales then P2, i am also a saga blm owner bought it in 2008 and now already habis bayar, not even once my car failed me, never had a breakdown experience except for tire change due to paku merata2, now my mileage almost 300,000km but still in good condition and power window still working, i am not worry to travel from perlis to johor with my car as it definitely a reliable car.
Hey, if there is a new Perodua Myvi coming out ….can we please have one with bigger wheels?
why dont perodua hust rebadge d corolla axio jdm version,
or even better produce a 1.5 sedan that looks like it… with all d tech found inside d bezza and more
Get the new NR engine family in the myvi, and you will have a winner. The bezza, even with all the bells and whistles is still not as comfy as a myvi.
We want CVT and don’t forget proper temperature gauge not lighted icons. 4 speed auto is obsolete. JDM Passo/Boon CVT.
We do not wan a CVT for the sake of justing a CVT…we wan a smooth efficient gear box what the company can provide…a dual vvti is good enough…proton CVT hell no…is rubbish
Toyota/P2 dinosar 4AT is beyond rubbish. Its stink has reached godlike levels until heaven can smell it.
why do we need so many milo tin to threaten our lives on the road ?Malaysian deserve better cars with lower pricing.
Cuz we dun support local brand and dun persoal foreign overlords?
Myvi always chg their design from the origin passo
nah not looking ah beng enough to become a myvi
From car to motorcycle…Perodua,proton,demak,sym…all copy kaw2..easy money.. Malaysia boleh!!
I think its better make sense for Perodua not to continue the Myvi since Axia/Bezza have better interior room (except headroom). Instead of bringing in the JDM Passo/Boon, why not bringing in the Corolla Axio (slightly smaller version of Corolla Altis), redesign and sell it here as Perodua’s compact C-segment offering?
The Passo should be reengineered into compact MPV for the next generation Alza. Not the Indonesian LCGC Calya.
Great idea. Perodua should offer B and C segment to completely exterminate that lousy junk garbage Proton. P2 is still the best! You can’t go wrong with Sushi technology
i like john. he from nirvana memorial nilai ah? everyday got afterlife story. makes our life interesting.
Looks like Kelisa
Are we proud of proton that making national car so called 100% malaysian innovation or perodua that so cunning in making money. Like for P2 dislike for P1. No reply needed. Thanks very much! I will obviously dislike this…
Don’t forget P2 gotta pay Daihatsu/Toyota for the cars….thus Jepunis also making money. There goes our money fly away to Japan.
Money fly to japun is better than flying to cronies that only shake the legs.
At least, jepun give you a reliability product.
What cronies give you? they only ask for more subsidies.
