The new Perodua Myvi has only been launched yesterday, but already budding artists have begun using their creative juices to visualise what a tuned version would look like. A small design concern called Durian Works has submitted a couple of sketches to us showing a sportier Myvi, and we think it looks pretty handsome, wouldn’t you agree?
Starting off by giving the B-segment hatch a bright yellow coat – not seen on the Myvi since the pre-facelift second-generation SE and Extreme models – the designer then set off providing the front end with a larger grille and air intakes, the latter featuring a mesh grille pattern. There’s also a larger front splitter and deeper side skirts compared to the standard 1.5 litre models.
Moving to the rear, a rear skirt, more pronounced faux bumper air vents and a sizeable rear wing have been added to give the Myvi a more aggressive appearance. Larger wheels inspired by the Honda Civic Hatchback fill out the wheel arches and complete the look.
To recap, the new third-generation Myvi has been designed completely in house featuring greater sophistication, equipment levels and safety. Longer, wider but lower than before, it gets items such as standard-fit LED headlights, keyless entry, push-button start and stability control, as well as an integrated Touch ‘n Go reader, up to six airbags and autonomous emergency braking.
Power comes from new 1.3 and 1.5 litre Dual VVT-i engines from the Toyota NR family. 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. The larger 2NR-VE, on the other hand, has been lifted from the Toyota Vios, and it produces 102 hp at 6,000 rpm and 136 Nm at 4,200 rpm. A five-speed manual gearbox and a four-speed auto is on offer.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This will be the muse of most Malaysians for the next 5 years.
why stop there. why not create a company, make that kit a reality.
i remember some time ago. Ford has its own XR series (Escort XR3i, Sierra XR4i) but still allows Cosworth to create a different bodykit (Escort Coswort, Sierra RS500 Cosworth).
BMW and Mercedez both has their own motorsports arm, namely AMG and BMW M.
but both also have independent tuners. Merc has Brabus, BMW has Alpine.
Proton has R3 (dont know alive or dead) but we can also have TuneD. Perodua has Gear Up, but we can also have this Banana thing, cant we?
all this while the only place where we source these body kits are kedai abang’s.. and the other brothers.
those company really do tuning. this durian im not sure. Maybe PT can define tune here.
But Perodua is an association of manufacturers or suppliers with the purpose of maintaining prices at a high level and restricting competition cause Perodua doesnt allow other brands like Volkswagen, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Volvo, Honda, Toyota, Nissan to be at the top, only Perodua is only wanted itself to be at the top which is very selfish, highly offensive, snobbish, awful and disrespectful to other car brands. Lastly don’t buy Perodua and also hopefully Perodua sales will keep on dropping
Lol that’s long words why do u comment if u don’t like please go jauh
Easy. Trolls copy-pastes, spam and brings upvote farm. It’s blatant and obvious.

Proton is not no. 1 now pls reread
Wow! I didn’t know Perodua is so powderful. LOL.
So, brands like those you mention have to compete with Perodua to survive? Last time I check Mercedes and BMW are having record sales here. And Honda is the #1 non-national brand in Malaysia.
That’s business world! Who will allow their competitor to be top? If P2 such a small company can do it without using Political Power, we should feel proud of P2!

Betui betui macam isi durian. Haha!
Excellent job I like it Perodua needs more aggressive colour choices and bodykits 4 wheel ventilated disc as well.
The only problem with the new myvi is no manual transmission 1.5
Also, if there is a 1.8 Gti myvi, with paddle shifters and priced below 70k, it would be a huge success
The 2 problems with the new myvi is no manual transmission 1.5 (indeed as i don’t have much confidence in 1.3, esp. Auto, manual 1.3 just cukup-cukup makan only) and also missing temperature gauge (previous myvi got XL size gauge at right side like legendary wira 1.3). However, new LED headlights, keyless push start, min 4 airbags and VSC are big welcome.
No need to shout at proton want to buy myvi just go and buy…dont barking abaut proton…lousy poeple…
I’m pretty much sure there will be a yellow Myvi.
Probably called the Lagi Lagi Best 1.5 Sport Advance with 5MT.
I mean it would be silly for Perodua to not make such a car.
