Perodua started the next chapter of the Myvi story yesterday night with the launch of the 2022 Perodua Myvi facelift. Much like the Volkswagen Golf in Europe and the Proton Saga here, back in the day, the Myvi is a package that seems to fit universal needs. It just works.
Perodua has shifted some 1.3 million units of the mass appealing “people’s car” since 2005, and the current third generation has found 277,329 homes in four years. A mid-life update was due, and instead of just doing the minimum – a new feature or two to accompany a bumper/grille change, you know the drill – they threw a kitchen sink worth RM50 million and 137,000 man hours at the D20N.
That’s substantial investment for a facelift, but look at the improvements in the D51A and you’ll see why. The actual facelift is a heavy one, with new headlamps and the debut of LED daytime running lights. The interior receives new meter panels and small changes based on user feedback (the ‘Off’ button for the AC panel, for instance), plus big differentiation for the red-heavy AV.
But the big news is the switch from the trusty 4AT to the new D-CVT gearbox from the Ativa. This required the SUV’s more advanced electrical architecture as well, but the gains at both ends are worth it – 5% better fuel economy and 20% faster 0-100 km/h times, with a bonus of lower noise levels.
No less important and perhaps more showroom/headline-friendly are the new safety features. Just think about it: adaptive cruise control with lane keep on a Myvi, which didn’t even have regular cruise control before this. Level 2 autonomous features are joined by ASA 3.0 (the latest version, as per Ativa), blind spot monitoring and auto high beam. In a sub-RM60k car.
Usually, companies upgrade their products because of competition, trying to one up the rival. Not so here. Frankly, P2 could have got away with just a bumper change because the just-facelifted 2022 Proton Iriz and Persona are nowhere near the four-year old pre-facelift Myvi G3 in efficiency and safety, the two most important factors for regular car buyers. And they could have kept all the top stuff for the costlier Ativa, but they did what they did anyway.
We’ve detailed the Myvi facelift in our launch report and walk-around video yesterday, and you can check it out for all you need to know on the D51A. This post is spec-by-spec comparison that we’ve compiled for you to have a quick glance at the specs.

for such a car, 1.3L engine is sufficient.
Congrats tahniah in advance Perodua for your next 1 million Myvi sales !!
This is good one mrDanny, after 30yrs of national automotive development plan with recent NAP (from saga 1981-2021) , finally we manage to change the bumper lamps from round shape to become TNB vertical “tiang lampu”, the bumper change to TNB vertical tiang lampu is align with our visionary of Malaysia as ASEAN AUTO HUB .
Its funny to see you all so excited as like this is the first time P2 talking about launching a bog standard passenger car with outdated technology.
But soon you will find that Perodua technology is different. Using DNGA Platform which interior and exterior will be new than before
BS! How soon is that! Where is Myvi DNGA?

For the same price we get crampy & crappy myvi. Without Preodua We could get better cars than Preodua offerings.
Should have make 6 airbags standard across the range…
Perodua..spending Rm50 juta..is sub sub sooi(negligible)for this “upgraded” facelift.
You should maintain current pricing by giving upgrades..the rakyat will reciprocate by giving you the needed blockbuster sales.
Now the covid stricken rakyat will have to pay for another extra year of instalments to get their so called “dream affordable” car.
10.2 seconds 0-100kmph is still slower than the mighty civic 1.5 turbo that can do 8.2 secs.
This hatchback can’t compare with mid sized sedan. Myvi is b-segment while Civic is c-segment
Wrong segment…dude…
Use brain different segment
even the civic is still faster than the camry though it is a segment lower. better performance doesn’t dictate the class.
So childish…comparing such luxury car and your civic, of course, your car is slightly smaller and shorter than Camry. Lol!
Honda Civic Mid Sped pun tak ada AEB
Very tin kosong.
X50 flagship and Perodua fellows Myvi King ada AEB.
And the mighty civic is slower than the 1.5 liter BMW i8. hahaha
Hw stupid can you be, comparing myvi with civic turbo ♂️
Dude… which planet u come from ?
Pick none. They are all overpriced and outdated. DNGA mana?!
It is just facelift. Also have additional features
Plain BS,I cant disagree with you.
A 1.5 super compact at close to 60K,the Myvi has drifted out of reach to most rakyat.
If I have that kind of budget, a preowned Toyota Vios or Yaris would be an alternative.
Cars need not be brand new all the time.What we need are value for money,minimum repairs,fuel saving, comfortable and ease of affordable spare parts.
Super compact super King more fuel saving than Vios, more powerful and more Fun.
Thats why you get the idea why Used Vios and Used Yaris is getting cheap.
Good specs
Interesting
Just placed booking 1.5 Myvi H
No 6 airbags for all range? Will PT do an article whacking P2 like they did with X50 criticising the choice of 4 airbags for the lower range?
I doubt it, but I hope PT will PROVE me wrong that they are TRULLY concerned about road safety for ALL and not just to a particular brand.
#SafetyFirst
You mean like this?
https://paultan.org/2020/09/14/five-perodua-models-you-should-not-buy-heres-why/
No worries.. I drove a Kancil EX for more than 10 years & survived..
Worth buying. Specs also improve
Thank you Hafriz and team for the amazing video. Informative. Will drop by the showroom for a look.
What a premium features
Myvi tetap KING
Myvi always lagi best
Good spec but stupid interior design. Not all people want red stitches in a myvi. Imagine blue exterior with red interior. Damn perodua designer, please go back to the drawing board!
Why does the front look like Axia? Feels less sporty..
