2022 Perodua Myvi facelift spec-by-spec comparison – how to pick between 1.3G, 1.5X, 1.5H, 1.5AV variants

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.

To recap, the 2022 Myvi range has five variants – 1.3 G, 1.3 G with PSDA (safety features including ASA), 1.5 X, 1.5 H and the top 1.5 AV – priced from RM45,700 to RM58,800, on-the-road without insurance and SST. Here’s what each variant gets, in point form.

        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 .

      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.

      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.

    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.
