So far, the new Perodua Myvi has been rendered as a sedan, a crossover and even a hot hatch. Now, Photoshop wizard Theophilus Chin is showing us what a three-door version of Malaysia’s car of the moment would look like with his latest work.
The result is a car that’s somewhat reminiscent of the Proton Satria, with longer front doors, a low-slung roofline and a classic two-box profile. The front fascia also appears to have been stretched further back, making for a sleeker, more aggressive face.
At the rear, Chin has given the car single-piece tail lights, a larger spoiler and a tailgate handle integrated into the lower edge. Rounding off the sporty look are the turbine design alloy wheels and a panoramic roof that probably won’t be offered on a production Perodua anytime soon.
The likelihood of a three-door Myvi actually making it to production is likely even slimmer than a hot hatch version. The market for three-door hatches in Malaysia is practically non-existent – even Peugeot, the last holdout offering such a bodystyle for the 208, ditched it when it introduced the facelifted version earlier this year (GTi model notwithstanding). Still, it does make for quite a handsome car, doesn’t it?
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.

So… where is the third box?
Perodua focused manpower and resources to new Kembara, Alza and Kenari.
no need 3 door, buruk
Please stop.
Means : dont stop keep going!!
What the hardworking people need is a practical & reliable car. All these 3 doors, turbo, teh tarik hook, tag heuer inspired odometer … better leave it to the loser.
Who says a car with 3 doors, turbocharged engine, teh tarik hook and tag heuer odometer can’t be reliable and practical?
Proton tells it all.
with using the same 1.5 as Vios, isn’t it obvious the next model for Perodua is targeting the sedan market? Go go Perodua….now Preve also got tapau next…
What year are you in? Perodua already have a sedan, the Bezza. Previous generation Myvi had a 1.5L engine, in case you didn’t know either.
Add on side skirts, front/rear spoilers & a set of 17-inch wheels, this will be a magnet for Millennials/singles.
enough la of the bodykits/spoilers/rims. they are cosmetic changes only, no mechanical changes at all. looks sporty,fast, and fun to drive but in realty it isn’t. those messy bodykits may only add weight and cause more drag.
how about perodua make their special edition a real one?
– standard spec engine (fun part of driving underpowered cars is the technique. trying to make the most out of it)
– upgraded suspension
– stickier tires
– hydraulic steering for more feel
– better gearbox (perodua manuals are often not so good)
– option to turn off electronic driver aids
– bodykits that are actually functional that aids stability rather than just fake fins and inlets.
He he he he. U are right on most counts here. Why are U getting so workup bro ?! It says – What do you think of a 3-door Perodua Myvi?
This 3-doors may never see the days of light for all U know. PT is merely asking comments so comments la kow kow. That is the purpose of PT. Sayo-nara.
i meant it as a suggestion for perodua, not an insult to you lah. peace also.
Sorry, still need hybrid swap to woo the green millennials.
Chop the roof and send them over to Europe. This is the spiritual successor to Citroen C2V
I like. If got 3 door MYVI I will sure buy.
102hp, 136nm? Is this for real in this day and age? I can’t believe it! And people are happy?
Do It.
210hp/320nm
Yup. Oh…

Offer 1.5 Manual on your existing myvi first.
