The 2018 Perodua Myvi made its public debut in Malaysia yesterday, although it was hidden in a box designed to allow just a sneak peek. The letterbox slots on the front, rear and sides give us a general idea of the third-generation hatchback’s exterior design.
From what we’ve seen so far, it’s clear that the new Myvi is not a rebadge of the JDM Daihatsu Boon, which we showed you in detail last month. The upper body is a 100% Perodua design. “The all-new Myvi is a the first Perodua model to have an upper body designed completely in-house, without foreign input,” said Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh, president and CEO of Perodua.
With more time and less of a crowd today, our photographer Patrick Seow has returned with more images of the boxed Myvi. Thanks to flash and zoom, we now have our first glimpse of the new Myvi’s dashboard, teased by Perodua in the only official video released so far.
It’s a big departure from the outgoing Myvi’s triangle of a centre stack, and there are hints of Honda City and Jazz in the way the air con vents are in-line with the top of the dash, and instrument binnacle. The layout is more centred around the driver compared to the cabins of Perodua’s other models.
Also, the way the top section “folds in” (around the 2-DIN touchscreen head unit) might remind some of the Corolla Altis’ dashboard. Like the Toyota sedan, piano black is the trim of choice here, with a metallic border. Situated in the bottom half of the two-section dashboard are the air con controls and push start button. The AC panel is digital, while keyless entry/push start is standard across the board.
There’s also a steering wheel design that’s new to Perodua. Four-way audio buttons on the left, Bluetooth call button on the right. Perodua has opened online registration of interest for the new Myvi, and you can find out more about the new Myvi’s Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) package and its functions here.

Still fugly
Wow the taillights even better looking than most 90k cars
its time Perodua to change name as P1.
Proton i think… is P2. Perodua is way ahead of the game. they have more sales, scores better in customer satisfaction, more reliable engineering (no doubt, from Toyota but whatever!). and they have several EEV models on sales (Proton has only the rebadged Ertiga) even though using dinosaur 4 speed auto. now, their cars is even in terms of safety (up to 6 airbags, ABS, VSC) but they also have ASA ahead of Proton.
did anyone have a closer look at the rear brakes on whether they’re drum or disc?
The rear brakes of the model in the picture above is drum brakes. Check out the 3rd pic from vehicle’s sides.
accessorries only, if you want change break disc go DIY shop
Gud job Perodua! Myvi every sukses!!
The public is tired of the sneak peek. Enough of the teasing. We want to see the car fully naked please.
Still having airbag cut out. Spoil a little bit la
Still looks like Innova at rear. Vampire fangs.
Most msians can only afford this . Hence better than taking the bus , riding a bike or walking.
We make do I suppose…
MSian live a luxury life with high end mobile a fewa pieces, every 30mins starbuck, weekend or not specialty shops full, party at high end club every weekend, luxury brand attires, vacation every few months in japan or europe. However, no money to buy a safer luxury car. Why, bacause bank dont approve loan. So u understand how is the logic of ppl. Rupanya bank kosong punya. When boss fire, cant survive a month. We must educate our next generation not to be like that. Like what? Kiasu all the way by burning ourself. We with real wealth, yup we enjoy everything normal ppl enjoy (maybe less than them) but with luxury house car accessories and.. Sustainability. And u knw whats the best thing? I go to my company every morning and all my 60 workers say good morning boss to me. Spend more, save less. The boss will definitely be pleased.
P2 for new Myvi should show the video ASEAN NCAP crash test also.
No use Perodua. Honda and Kia is even much better than Perodua
Please define “better” ?
New Myvi 2018
Or
Proton Iriz 1.0L three cyclinder twin scroll turbo direct injection + hybrid motor
Or
Preve Facelift 1.5 TGDi + hybrid motor + Volvo same alike sensing, 220hp 320nm combine output..
Mana you pilih?
i choose whatever is there in reality, not on drawing board.
sy pilih Proton turbo bocor… sumpah!
Proton’s TGDI is dead in the water already. The Chinaman boss insisted to use their readiedly available engine and save the cost of having to go through the time consuming and resources draining process of engine R&D.
One thing Perodua is vastly superior to Proton is its management system inherited from Toyota conglomerate – they are very cost effective, and they use readiedly off-the-shelve parts frm Toyota and Daihatsu to maximized cost effectiveness and profit margin. Proton on the other hand, waste lots of money and resources trying to go through the painful learning process of product maturity and eventually fell short of quality and reliability benchmark to Peordua. Not only that Proton make far fewer profit on every car sold compared to Perodua, but Proton losses its customer base to Perodua as well. In the end, Proton become weaker and weaker (both financially and number of car sales), and Perodua became mighhter and mighter.
The arrival of Chinese boss and managment is to stop this insane and stupid practices of Proton’s way of producing cars, not only it’s not cost-effective, but also create lop hole for cronies suppliers to exploit the system, making Proton losses its money to unnecessary wastage and internal bleeding. The Chinese auditing team had just finished audited the Shah Alam factory and will shut in down in the near future, this is because Shah Alam is very human labour intensive and it could only produce 250k per annum. Tanjung Malim on the other hand, is highy automated and robotics, and could make 1 million cars per year, it is just insane to retain the Shah Alam factory for so long whereas the Tanjung Malim plant is woefully under utilised all these while. One funny thing is some of the Shah Alam factory managment choose to resign (rather than being fired) even before the Chinese auditing team came in, you guess the reason?
With Chinaman ironfist landing down on Proton’s managment and eradicating its past rent-seeking infested business malpractices, Proton is set to see better days. And with Proton consolidating under the Chinese management, it will soon up to a fight agianst Perodua. The local automotive scence will be exciting to watch in coming years, with Proton and Peordua competing each other, we consumers will be the ultimate benificier, make no question about it.
As for the TGDI, it is good to just kill it off, yea, we lose the galmour of “indeginious made engine” monicker, but Proton could roll out its new line up faster up against Peordua. In business, nobody give a damn whether you are indigenous or not. As long as your car are trouble-free, save, fuel saving and comes decent quality, people will buy. The sales chart of Perodua in recent years says it all.
I think you should run Proton with your vast knowledge , know how etc
Syabas! Only a genius can write like this. Your car company must be very succesful indeed.
In your dream la proton come out with that engine..in ur dream boy…even geely dont have much hybrid car..
I hate it when ppl sell thing and ask for u to put a booking or register interested when they don’t show the product or tell u the pricelist.
Then just don’t book it and wait for the real thing on sale… Why you need to feel bad when they not even force you to book it?
Perodua is even worst than Kia and Honda and Toyota
Ok so u dont buy lah
Not only me, some people also said that don’t buy Perodua, buy Honda, Volkswagen, Kia better
Wah my grab driver’s car getting more luxurious
still no rear mid head rest
Uninspiring dashboard design.
Change this in the facelift.
Don’t know have rear disc breaks same as Kia Picanto? Wish to have built-in TPMS like Picanto also.
This car is now Proton’s biggest threat. Previously, Myvi had no VSC and just 2 airbags. Now, with the spec increased plus a host of other safety features, people buying Persona or Saga or even Iriz will change boat and buy Myvi.
Even with this kind of threat, Proton today announced that they are confident of increasing their workers from 9600 workers to 20,000 workers and gave 100% assurance not even 1 worker will face retrenchment.
Wow, this is ultimate Business 101
Gomen shud gips extension for Proton to repay bailout loans. similar to those extension gips to toll concessions, pipu power backup P1!!!
Vss is on the way…people still buy proton with 2 airbag? Comonla even saga lowest spec is tin kosong…no safety at all..better buy myvi with manual 1.3dual vvti + traction+stability + abs/ebd , this make it so much wiser to buy new myvi even the lowest spec.
Will all models get the 2 DIN touchscreen system?
Buy Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Kia better don’t buy Perodua
Buy horse la..you r noctural anyway
Horse eat dedak..
I will rather buy this, or just buying at least bmw or Benz.. No point buying Honda mazda anymore
Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh, president and CEO of Perodua was saying in the media that the new MYVI almost all meet world standard. Is it too expensive to fully meet world standard?
Please take away the LED aesthetics and use the cost saved to fully meet world standard for the precious lives of a typical Malaysian.
eh perodua, dont pattern la… show dy la
Hodoh sangat, tak berbaloi beli
walaupun hodoh,6000 dh booking
What do you mean upper body? Please la Datuk, tell the truth. This model just cnp from toyota auris, perodua just make up or devaluate the facelift 90% look alike Auris. How dare you said upper body design in your facility. Dont bullshit malaysian.
he dare becoz he tell the truth. why not u compare the car side by side later after the launching.
Who cares about copying here and there? Proton is even worse in copying. Even the logo is copied from Thundercats.
Lol a lot of potong fans here. Shh
I want rear middle headrest. Anyone agree with me??
Dashboard design closer to Bezza and not that “modern”.
Display not at eye level like Boon OR classy.yet ergonomic like Mazda. In country that prone to fatal accidents distracted eyes from the road ahead is our driver’s biggest threat.
Perodua overlooked that Myvi boot capacity merely 17l better than Axia despite claim P2 reengineered upper body. Most B-segment cars were over-300l boot capacity. Newest Polo is 355l while Honda Jazz is 363l.
Grab Car or Uber’s customers definitely prefer bigger luggage area, huh?
The rest is very good. Kudos Myvi Mk III.
They say don’t have anything nice to say, keep quiet. So many keyboard warrior here.
At least Perodua is trying to keep up with the market. You?
Extremely disappointing rear license plate bracket located!!! Any latest features of 3rd generation Perodua Myvi are very useless unless the rear license plate bracket is repositioned to its tailgate!! I’m waiting its major facelift, then 3rd generation Perodua Myvi will be more impressing-looked and like to be owned!
