2018 Perodua Myvi orders hit 28,000, close to 8k units delivered last year – 1.5L to 1.3L ratio is 85:15

It came very late in the year, but the third-generation Perodua Myvi made a big splash. Order books opened on November 8, 2017 ahead of a November 16 launch, and as the year closed, the number of bookings stood at 28,000. Of that, close to 8,000 units have been delivered.

The latest figures were revealed by Perodua president and CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh on this morning’s BFM 89.9 Breakfast Grille, where he also apologised for the longer wait for the Myvi 1.5L compared to the 1.3L.

“Because of the back orders, we’re now working overtime, we do apologise. Especially to our customers who have booked the higher variant, the 1.5L. We’re working overtime, and we hope to be able to reduce the delivery period. But having said that, we do have the 1.3L available. So customers, if you want your vehicles faster, new Myvi 1.3L is also an option. Not forgetting we have three other models,” he said.

Aminar admitted that the overwhelming response for the bigger-engined, better-equipped Myvi 1.5L has surprised Perodua, but as problems come, it’s a good one to have.

“I have to admit that perhaps in terms of our planning, at this point it is proving us wrong. We were hoping to get a 50-50 or perhaps 55-45 kind of ratio in terms of the 1.5 against the 1.3. But as it stands now, it’s almost 85-15. So it’s a problem. It’s a good problem and that’s why I apologise to our customers. Bear with us, we’re trying to fulfil those requirements,” he said.

As to why demand is so heavily skewed towards the 1.5L, the P2 chief attributes it to the Myvi’s surprising feature list, which includes six airbags and Advanced Safety Assist, a suite of driver assist features not previously found in sub-RM100k cars.

“We have done some initial surveys. It’s not conclusive, but at the end of the day, it’s about value for money. The features that we have brought in. Some of the features are available in high-end cars and we made it affordable. The 1.5 Advance comes with advanced safety features, which are available in luxury vehicles,” he added.

The impressive new Perodua Myvi made it to our annual writer’s Top Five list. Find out more about the homegrown hero in our written and video reviews.

    Good job P2! For a president to apologize, regardless whatever his intentions were, is IMPRESSIVE. That said, please don’t rush too much and have quality issues afterwards. Expected quality should be the highest priority :)

        Oh wai… Safety features is not luxury features, but a least is affordable under MYVI 1.5 top-spec. Not like Honda Jazz where selling now 2018, not even install VSC at base-spec, DRB Honda look only care max profit.

          looks who owns DRB. Gomen. This is why they don’t give you VSC.

          Just like UMW. For years until 2017, all their cars got no VSC. Who owns UMW? It is gomen.

            Toyota/Daihatu/Perodua good or not, sales figure tell.
            No need Sendiri Cakap Sendiri Syok. If the cars so good, the sales must be good.
            If the sales so good, company no need sell off to China.

          Bro, Honda Jazz GK5 has been long DEAD since 2014. Hideous car with old Stone Age engine and full spec V still using stupid halogen headlights and no RS model like Japanese Jazz aka Fit models. The interior is completely ugly like hell compared to the Iriz and Myvi.
          Better buy previous generations Jazzes instead, full specs. LMFAO.

    OMG Just over a month and orders now 28,000

    Proton in 1 whole year can only sell 60,000 cars. And that also, 80% ordered by the Government.

    Perodua, if they maintain like this, will be 60,000 cars in 2 months to 3 months.

      To put you into perspective, Malaysia population is 30,000,000 rounded up. And now 28,000 ordered. Are you using 0.09% to represent the whole population? And this is just Myvi, not a richman car, but an affordable one. It’s hardly suggestive that the nation is doing great unless the top sellers are BMW, Benz, etc.

    A big thank you to the Proton mocking ads that causing Myvi sales shoots to the roof instead of Saga/Persona/Iriz/Suprima sales. Sad joke indeed lol.

    To put numbers into perspective, Honda, Malaysia’s 2nd most popular brand, sells about give or take 10k units of their cars per month, be it City, Civic, CRV, Accord, anything within their 8 car model range. Perodua have manage to deliver 80% of that amount with just one model, the Myvi. If you’re going by the even more impressive booking number, the less popular of the two engine range, the 1.3l, sell almost as many Protons in November 2017, and thats only 15% of all Myvis booked. Numbers speaks for themselves and I believe, Although Peroduas always sells, is just that now you can be comforted by the thought that thousands of Malaysian have a car, not just purchased because they lack the financial means, but purchased because its a remarkable product for the masses.

      2nd most popular brand regardless, Honda’s aftersales and overall vehicle built quality nowadays are horrendous.
      Big H stands for Horrible.
      Check out Honda Malaysia’s Facebook page. Its Loaded with negative reviews.
      Our hard earned cash only pays for the brand and sadly not their quality compared to Perodua. Very unfortunate:(

      For previous models you can argue that Malaysians are just blinded by the perodua badge, or the “perodua bring a toyota/daihatsu” claim which contributed to the high sales despite offering subpar specs. But the new myvi really tick all boxes from safety to reliability to price. It’s really a good car that’s hard to find faults with unless you nitpick in particular areas, or if you’re a blinded fanboy/hater

        Previously, it was a dependable brand with a dependable powertrain, It satisfy the needs but doesn’t give into the necessities. A Myvi is always going to sell on its laurels in a way a Picanto or a Iriz is not, Perodua has done a great job with reputation thus far and amazingly hasn’t rested on their laurels which is something quite unexpected from a big name manufacturer.

    Increase production rate and capacity but please don’t sacrifice quality. For any potential buyers, it’s best to wait until production stabilise as most common issues occurs during early production rush batches

    Honda Jazz GK5 owners suddenly felt like losers and fools as of today. The Latest Myvi has killed off the Jazz at last. Rest in Pieces Jazz GK5 2014-2017.
    Even the Mazda 2 and famously hated by Malaysians little Picanto is better than the lousy Jazz facelift. LOL.

      Absolutely correct bro.
      I just sold my 2014 Jazz recently after settling my bank loan. Poor built quality inside out, noisy and the undercarriage fell off onto the highway few times already. Claimed warranty twice for my dashboard parts, etc.
      Replaced the windscreen twice. Headlights fogged up and suspension leaked in 2016.
      It was a headache owning this Jazz GK5 model. Maintaining it was not cheap compared to my wife’s Almera and daughter’s Iriz.
      Currently, no serious issues at all with the Nissan Almera and Proton Iriz. Disgrace to Honda Malaysia’s cars.

        Hi there, yup I myself purchased a brand new Picanto a few months ago. So far its a Wayyy better car than the outdated and hideous Jazz GK5 in terms of built quality, design and fuel economy.
        Must test drive before judging. Buying a branded Jap brand especially HONDA does not guarantee its a great car to own and drive on a daily basis.
        Their marketing team are top notch but quality sux big time.

          Who the heck buys a Hideous Jazz GK5 nowadays?
          Customers who love Hondas to death or people who never read automotive news online like this wonderful blog? Even my old pre facelift Ford Fiesta has no problems either than the usual wear and tear.
          Very ignorant Malaysians. Sad.

      Other than ASA and curtain airbags, the 1.3 gets all the safety features available in 1.5. Proton only offers 2 airbags for their iriz base model

    I’m fed up with Myvi this Myvi that. My Jalan in Shah Alam have 60 houses. Nearly most houses have a P2 as their preferred choice.

    Just less than 2 months, there are already 5 New Myvi in our/my Jalan. My opposite house which is rented to singles ladies alone have 4 Myvis(old/new). Why they didn’t buy an Iriz ?? Maybe I will ask them the next time.
