New Perodua Myvi coming Q4 2017 – research house

New Perodua Myvi coming Q4 2017 – research house

A new Perodua Myvi could see the light of day as early as the fourth quarter of this year, if a report by The Sun is to be believed. Research house MIDF Research predicted the arrival of the next-gen hatchback as a catalyst for strong sales in the automotive sector for the second half of 2017.

The ballpark provided may seem like guesswork, but the current model is due for a replacement, given that it’s already six years old – the first Myvi was also discontinued after six years. Besides, the expected base for the new car, the latest Toyota Passo/Daihatsu Boon, has been out on the market for a year now, so a Perodua version will come sooner rather than later.

With that out of the way, let’s talk specifics. 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 Dual VVT-i 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.

Don’t discount the availability of driver assists like autonomous emergency braking and lane departure warning, either – Perodua has been seen trialling a Daihatsu Move Custom with the Smart Assist II system in downtown Kuala Lumpur before, so it’s not as far-fetched a technology as you’d think.

    Plus – Dual VVT-i mill, keyless entry, push button start, an Eco Idle automatic engine start/stop system & VSC on range-topping variants.
    Big Minus – 4-speed auto.

    • Please launch Alza 1st instead of Myvi since Alza already nearly a decade old. Some more Alza will have more demand compared to Myvi as people will look for Bezza or Axia but skipped Myvi

    Hopefully the new Myvi will come with better safety features and stronger body, unlike the current ‘Tin Milo’ structure. VSC, 4 air-bags, lane departure warning, etc, should be standard across all variants.

    Will they finally use a new chassis or maintain the same one from first gen Myvi? Based on the gearbox I’d say this new gen Myvi will have the same old chassis with new bumpers and lights.

    This is odd
    There’s plenty of comments here on getting a new Kia Rio

    Is this a new marketing tactic by Kia Malaysia perhaps

    i) If can buy Kia, majority will not pick P1 or P2
    ii) Kia Rio? Just don’t. The fuel bill will kill you
    iii) Wait till it finally launches before judging it, we’re always so quick to judge

    Had a MyVi 1.5 for 5 years plus now
    + No problems at all (~100k kms so far)
    + Service is cheap ~ RM 200 at SC
    + Fuel is very efficient – my fuelly average now is 5.9 l/100km
    – Noisy (NVH, rattles)
    – Jumpy
    – No VSC
    – 2 airbags

    I don’t really mind if it’s a 4 speed auto if it’s quiet smooth and efficient

    If they can fix all those minus points, they’ll have another winner

    The back side of this car look like a box, i think it’s better to take the new Kia Rio, smaller size, easier to park anywhere, you can even cut easily on the road because it’s small. Easy for girls to drive anywhere they want to. For me Kia Rio is better compared to this.
