PT Astra Daihatsu Motor (ADM) is set to introduce the new 2018 Daihatsu Sirion in Indonesia next month. This was revealed by marketing director Amelia Tjandra to Kompas.
Like before, the new Daihatsu Sirion is a rebadged Perodua Myvi and will be imported CBU from Malaysia. Tjandra said that the Indonesian market Daihatsu Sirion will be similar to the new Myvi in specifications and will not be a “downgrade” from the Perodua.
“The Indonesian Sirion will be coming from Malaysia, and will be launched in February. The only difference is in the logo, nothing else. The car has achieved five stars in the ASEAN NCAP crash test,” she said.
The new Myvi, launched here in November 2017, is available with 1.3L and 1.5L engines. The outgoing Indonesian Sirion (the previous Myvi) is available in the Republic only with the 1.3L engine, so it remains to be seen if ADM will offer the new one with one or two engines. The Sirion is no stranger to Indonesia’s creative car customisers – check out some wild examples here.
The impressive new Myvi made it to our annual writer’s Top Five list. Find out more about the homegrown hero in our written and video reviews.

now myvi will be all over Indonesian islands..
Keluarga & sahabat Indon & Nusantara jua bersorak.. Tak payah fikir, tak payah pening. Beli aja Perodua.
Habis la Proton Iriz
Iriz laku keras di sana
Kalau Iriz laku di Indon, mengapa jualan P1 hanya 71,000 biji ??
now? already there since previous gen.
If Malaysia can export this means Perodua sales will be 300,000
But dont worry even our Proton predict sales of 500,000, a jump from 70,000
P1 expect to climb to 500,000 unit, 87% market

Selamat siang Myvi, The Love of both Nations – MY and Indo !!
what about the SmartTAG toll reader? will it be of any use in Indonesia?
They could be replacing it with a local onboard unit provided by a bank company
SmartTag also useless in Sabah and Sarawak
if i was to predict, the IDM myvi will look like the 1.5 models but powered with a 1.3, its features should probably be similar to the 1.3 models
A practical approach to expand and consolidate the market in nearby nations than someone export to Chile…
“I just intented to take a small steps only,…opps…sorry already reach Moon…”
Daihatsu rebadging Myvi now. Remember this Myvi model is fully developed in house by Perodua.
Upper body
No wonder Indomee market run to Suzuki for small cars instead
Well done Perodua, now it’s the Japanese that is rebadging our car!
Well done UMW Perodua!
KWSP untung, Rakyat untung!
kantoi dah ni..rasanya daihatsu mmg dah buat facelift myvi ni awal2 tp lunch dkt Malaysia dulu baru model daihatsu keluar..ternyata bkn perodua sndr yg design..haha..pandai diorg putar belit..
simpan skit bodo tuh.. dah 10 tahun daihatsu sirion rebadged myvi. where were you at that time!
nop.. Japanese rebadging their own car..
If it sells well there then they will also claim the myvi as theirs.
the real malaysian pride…unlike the other drowning fatso
Designed upper body only, pride for what?
(Like) Perodua Myvi
(Dislike) Mazda 2
KIA Picanto.
Mini Cooper.
What’s going to happen next is Malaysians removing the perodua badge and putting on a daihatsu badge on their myvis. Talk about brand power!
Myvi modded Toyota Yaris GR. Powahh
Sedaplah dorang test highway tol yang baru siap banyak2 sana
no wonder the long wait for 1.5 adv…they cannot cope with extra units allocated for export :(
Syabas Perodua…! You have made us proud.
What proud? The engine , transmission is all Japanese
