Perodua’s order books for the new 2018 Perodua Myvi now has 15,500 names, almost two weeks into the launch of the third-generation hatchback. The figures, given by Perodua president and CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh this afternoon, are until yesterday. The company has delivered 1,900 units of the car so far.
That’s not record breaking for Perodua and its collection of top sellers, but impressive when one takes into account the Myvi’s positioning, which is not entry level like the Axia. Perodua is also quietly proud of the fact that 84% of the bookings so far are for costlier 1.5 litre variants (High and Advance). The most popular colour for the Myvi 1.5L is Granite Grey Metallic, which is exclusive to the bigger-engined Myvi.
To cope with what Aminar describes as “overwhelming demand”, Perodua has initiated overtime at the factory that produces the Myvi, and weekend production will continue all the way to the close of 2017. This is to ensure “acceptable delivery period” although the P2 chief did not elaborate on the current waiting period.
The new Myvi has been impressive and surprising, both on paper and on the move. The in-house developed new model is very well-stocked with kit – LED headlamps, keyless entry and push start, digital air-con controls with two memory settings, four airbags and VSC are standard from the RM44,300 base model, which has a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating.
All 1.5L models get six airbags and the top RM55,300 Advance boasts the Advanced Safety Assist suite of active safety systems, which include Pre-Collision Warning (PCW), Pre-Collision Braking (PCB), Front Departure Alert (FDA) and Pedal Misoperation Control (PMC) functions.

I-Say-Man. Don’t la make P1 jealous/envy. 15,500 names in almost 2 weeks is indeed an achievement. Make sure P2 check ALL cars properly B4 delivering. Cheers…
This is only a small achievement compared to the number of workforce in P1
Most people buy Perodua cause it is cash rich. Any warranty claim, they don’t fight with you. But if you buy a car from a company that is losing money, any warranty claim, they fight with you. You have to try very hard to convince them that the part is under warranty and the burden of proving this is on YOU
Few more days Perodua will touch 60,000 sales.
That is 1 month sales vs 1 year sales of other companies
P1 low sales mesti salah org Malaysia yg tidak patriotik. Org patriotik tak sapot Jepunis
Make the workforce in P1 useful again atleast in pipu eyes, by assembling Perodua cars
Waiting P1 go congratz P2 with their syok sendiri Best Hatch Car tag behind…
p1 fanboys as usual will condemn – got handling or not. endurance racing also cannot win. got HPF or not.
Good statistics…
then… WHERE IS THE 1.5L MT???
#2018myvi1.5MT
Before the new Myvi, people bought Iriz because of 2 reasons. It had VSC and more airbags.
Now, Myvi got VSC plus so many airbags PLUS
1) good after sales
2) Excellent RV
3) time tested VVTI Toyota engine
4) SC never say, “Biasalah bang, ini Proton”
5) FC one of the best in the market
6) Warranty claim also no dispute
7) Perodua is cash rich. They don’t mind when you claim warranty
8) etc etc etc etc
So, of course now the No 1 choice is Myvi
Shit… I can’t bash using VSC anymore. P2, pls gip me some points to bash else i’m done being a trooper
Habis lah, dulu kutuk Perodua, sekarang tak ada modal lagi…oh wai!
There is, missing temperature gauge
my uncle 2016 Persona beli baru $60k.
tahun ini renew road tax, car value $40k. 1 tahun hilang $20,000. tapi pakcik so gembira becoz car insurance save alot cheaper….lol
Betul, but if anything happens to the car he will be be paid less by the insurance company.
Shht man. Proton rv so damm bad.
Protong…better close shop lah.
Perodua will only take about 4 months plus,just selling a BLOCKBUSTER MODEL called MYVI…to beat PROTONG’S entire 2017 sales comprising all models.
Apa mau lagi,Protong?
Geely….at this kura kura pace…u might as well pack up and concentrate on Volvo.We dont want any more taxpayer’s funded bailout for P1.
P2 RV, SC so so, VVTi now not worth, biasalah bang, ini keta bajet, FC trumped by lot of cars, warranty claim so so, claim wrranty so so etc etc etc
Patutlah jalan raya sesak
sales like a hot cake… congrats.
I rather buy a Myvi than an Iriz. Cause both also RM50k but after 3 years, the Iriz RV is RM20k and the Myvi RV is still RM38k
U buy car to drive or buy car to sell. Kereta belum dapat dah pikir nak jual, better just buat spekulasi hartanah, lagi u untung.
I did received mine 1.5 advance! trade in with lagi best 1.5. I trade in for safely reason, 6 airbag. Well, I used it for couple of days! What shocking me is there is no auto aircond! thats why they put the memory setting! And the seats kinda thin compared to old 1.5. handling, so so only. quality wise, lagi best myvi is way high quality materials compared to this newly one. No more daihatsu feeling, except the engine only.
handling soso means mcm sampan or what?
This is not a race car. Mind telling what are u driving with such superb handling?
must be proton iriz. with no midifications at all to the handling factor, car still won racing event (in malaysia, of course)
Syok sendiri, how much better is Iriz’s handling compared to Myvi? Both are just econobox. People buy the car to commute, not to race. Want to race? Better buy a car like Golf GTi which can easily smoke your Proton
You sure no modification? Proton is known for building a version for mass production while sending a modified version for testing.
Doesn’t matter what he drives as long as he has a good imagination. One moment he can be Lewis Hamilton in a Mercedes F1 and another moment he could be Michael Schumacher in a Ferrari. LOL.
Handling, engine, design, overall better than proton. Satisfy?
No not like sampan alza anymore…much better now….agree seats feel thinner n smaller now…audio big disappointment n no cd… Had to upgrade the lousy OEM speakers
jinggo, its not sampan, now the myvi drives with less body roll, less noise and vibration at 120km/h speed which a slight improvement from the old one. but, you pay what you get. If you go for handling, go for iriz.
you should test drive before you buy
Before the first delivery,Perodua received 5000 bookings.
Malaysians…seldom and even never test drive before booking the car.Thats the beauty of COMPULSIVE NEW CAR ADDICTION.
No wonder,some regret after trading in their still boleh pakai 3-5 yr old,top up finance they hutang,pay another downpayment with another 9 yr loan over their head.No wonder ,our household debt is significantly very very high.
This is called suffering in silence/regret,but just to show kampung folks…aku ada keta baru.
in a simpler description – lab rats.
Ha ha ha. Best comment/advice here. Cheers…
Sudah beli baru menyesal, buy now regret later
If you really test drive before buying, you will be surprised, the acceleration and throttle response is, omg, what the ‘crap’ automataik gearbox is. Can’t even match the 1st gen vios that also comes with 4-speed auto.
Buy Iriz, merc quality….
Surprise! No auto Aircon, only that its digital. But still nice what to have digital Aircon :)
That’s why u should buy civic turbo. Top up a little bit only and won’t feel the pinch.
P2 have too maintain their cost by reduce certain area with improve safety. So don’t complain about it. hahaha
what a long comments! well, i’m not regret it. I’m buying it because of safety reason. I’m working outstation a lot hence, safety is my first priority. Tell me which car priced below rm60k give me 6 airbags, vsc and all the goodies? The closest one is the rio which price almost rm90k. That huge extra rm30k, i can use that for the downpayment for my new soho or property.
There is, Persona 1.6 Premium (that CVT autobox is not the best one, but still acceptable)
If you want to spend most of your annual leave at SC, yes.
Not surprised at all. With all the packages it offers what other manufacturers that provides such car at that price(1.5A)?
Affordability? Myvi win hands down.
Proud to be peroduans
Low quality Myvi
Aiyak drive kancil memang la
Already booking without test drive. Yesterday loan approve. This car for my wife daily go to work. Budget 1.3 but my wife decide 1.5 advanced without doubt. We are not accept to much for this car. I know about this Myvi since July and my patience is worth it. Good job P2.
why not Iriz??
Only in Bolehland a car like this can sell well….
Msians really have no choice but to buy this…
No choice to the point that 84% of the bookings are for the expensive variant!
With a 9 yr loan perhaps?
Is leather upholstery even necessary for top spec but entry level cars like this myvi.
Ironically, Tesla Model 3 took hundred of thousands of booking, but took more than a year to deliver less than 500 cars per week… But this Msian small wonder took orders by that many, and delivered more than 1000 cars in a week. A very good job indeed.
i test drove the new myvi. I am very impressed for this kind of car to be price 50% less than the vios. I owned a vios before and i must say this myvi is really good or almost equal to the vios except some NvH and quality issues
But that can be improve by going soundproofing shops.
However the one thing i hate about the new myvi is that the “ECO” mode is always turned on and there is no way you can turn it off. Basically the acceleration is much slower than vios or avanza despite using the same engine or gearbox
Perodua Myvi 1.5 vs Proton Iriz 1.6 premium ??
I test driven both and personally find that Proton Iriz still the winner in terms of NVH, gearbox , handling , and solidness (HPF steel) . The drawback for iriz probably only the truck storage.
Both are different league. Iriz is for slow learner.
Depends what are u looking for?
Do u enjoy driving? If yes, Iriz. If you are seeking for an A-B car, Myvi then.
My civic turbo is faster than 15,500 new myvi owners. If the civic thrbo sells under rm60k, sure the order will be 1,550,000 already, creating the best selling car record in the world.
My Nissan GTR Twin Turbo is faster than 15,500 Civic Turbo.
If Nissan GTR Twin Turbo sells at 180k sure the order will be 1.5 billion units creating the best selling car in the Universe.
But civic is not 60k. Lansap so much still only can reduce to 70k for kosong one and co. pocket the rest of money even if they got tax exempted.
What. Think company want jual murah ah if got no tax? Aiya. Ini bolehland la. Branding can sell +10k-20k and pipu still buy la. It’s not bad, it’s just overpriced.
Farnee lah you.
I got Civic type R la.. Your turbo civic just 177hp, mine have 300hp!
Tahniah congratulations to Perodua Myvi!
Just top up a little bit for lamborghini, good handling, good rv and when you die you will die with dignity
congrats to perodua. selling like rocket. thats how people appreciate good cars.
very nice car. thanks p2.
Still using 30 years old tech 4 speed dinasour ??? Why why why ??
good get a new
