2018 Perodua Myvi launching Thursday, November 16

News regarding the new Perodua Myvi have been coming in thick and fast this week – we had initial details and pricing of the third-generation model on Wednesday, and then Perodua gave a sneak preview of the car yesterday. Now, the national carmaker has provided a launch date, slated for November 16 – that’s next Thursday!

Already open for booking, the car will be priced starting from RM44,300 for the 1.3 Standard G manual and RM46,300 for the automatic, rising up to RM48,300 for the 1.3 Premium X and RM51,800 for the 1.5 High. The range-topping 1.5 Advance retails at RM55,300. Prices are on-the-road without insurance, inclusive of a five-year/150,000 km warranty.

All new from the ground up, the new Myvi is the first car designed without the assistance of parent company Daihatsu, so externally it bears no resemblance to the Boon/Toyota Passo on which it’s based. The new D20N is longer and wider but lower than before, and Perodua claims a 973 mm tandem distance (distance between the front and rear passengers) and an ‘8+1 flexible seating arrangement’ (layouts, not seats).

Power comes from new 1.3 and 1.5 litre engines from the Toyota NR family with DOHC and Dual VVT-i. The smaller 1NR-VE is the same engine found on the Bezza, and it makes 94 hp at 6,000 rpm and 121 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm on the sedan. The larger 2NR-VE, on the other hand, has been lifted from the Toyota Vios, and there it produces 106 hp at 6,000 rpm and 140 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm.

Eco Idle automatic engine start/stop is fitted on the 1.3 Premium X and up, and transmission options include a five-speed manual (1.3 Standard G only) and a four-speed electronically-controlled automatic (E-AT). With the aerodynamic improvements introduced on the new car, the Myvi is now capable of fuel consumption as low as 20.1 km per litre on the 1.5L auto, significantly lower than the outgoing model’s 15.4 km per litre.

Kit count is impressive for such an affordable car, with all models getting LED headlights (with halogen positioning lamps, auto-off and follow-me-home lighting), keyless entry, push-button start, 60:40 split-folding rear seats and reverse sensors. Alloy wheels measuring 14 inches come as standard, with the 1.5 litre models gaining 15-inch items, along with a dual-tone bodykit, a rear spoiler and an integrated SmartTAG reader.

But it’s the safety kit that takes the cake – standard items include four airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist and Vehicle Stability Control (VSC); the 1.5 litre models gain curtain airbags to bring the total airbag count to six. Perodua is targeting a five-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating across the range.

The 1.5 Advance goes one better with the introduction of Advance Safety Assist (ASA) suite of driver assists, including Pre-Collision Warning and Braking, Front Departure Alert (warns when the car in front has moved ahead at a traffic light or jam) and Pedal Misoperation Control.

Six colours are available, and they are Lava Red, Mystical Purple, Glittering Silver, Ivory White, Granite Grey (1.5 only) and Peppermint Green (1.3 only). The latter two are new colours. The full breakdown of spec and equipment between all variants can be found below.

        Where is the jealous people who like to say Biza got no testing and all Perodua cars got no testing? They are all hiding now.

        Cause this Myvi is going to create history. So much of demand and interest. FB posting alone got few thousand people commenting. This is a record. PT FB posting getting thousands of comments mean Myvi is hot

        And all the comments are positive!

      Myvi Mk1 and MkII perodua needs to pay more in royalties because using daihatsu body shell. For this MkIII myvi p2 using only platform and power train. Body is all new so less royalties paid. Its like when Proton introduced Waja, its cheaper than wira 1.6

    • According to pt.org previous articles, it is 99.9% developed by perodua in-house, and using the platform of the AXIA.

      This is 2nd Perodua car developed without a Daihatsu/ Toyota base model (1st is BEZZA). So it’s not based on a DAIHATSU BOON.

      But I think it’s not coincidence that the all new MYVI looks like some other model in some way, eg. the TOYOTA AURIS and TOYOTA ALTIS.

    Toyota is known for old outdated dinosaur technology. Come on dude, move forward, put in a 1 liter turbocharged engine, or heck, if you don’t wanna turbo charge it, at least put a direct injection engine. Don’t waste money buying Toyota. No one is buying their Altis and Camry, it is so outdated and underpowered. Toyota is surviving because of the vios and hilux.
