The Perodua Myvi has once again become the subject of high rotation on social media, where a handful of the cars in police colours have been seen to be unloaded from a transporter truck.
From images in a now-hidden Facebook post by SM Offroad and Outdoor Equipment (SMOE), the country’s most popular B-segment hatchback appears to have joined the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) fleet of patrol vehicles, as a batch of the cars have been photographed wearing police livery.
While the latest iteration of the Myvi is the facelifted third-generation car, the group of cars in these images are of the pre-facelift 2018 version that was launched towards the end of 2017.
According to the Facebook post that is no longer visible, SMOE wrote that all units of the Myvi depicted are part of the carmaker’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiative with PDRM, in which the vehicles will be used for “light patrols in selected police districts.”
Some of the cars were seen to be wearing the names of said police districts, such as Ulu Yam Bharu and Serendah; both are located close to Perodua headquarters and manufacturing in Rawang, Selangor. Notable aspects include the body colour of silver, which is normally white for official police vehicles, and the cars here are also seen with Perodua stickers.
As mentioned, the vehicles here are of the pre-facelift iteration, which means that the powertrain in this range-topping AV variant will be the 1.5 litre 2NR-VE engine producing 102 hp and 136 Nm of torque, which is sent to the front wheels via a four-speed torque converter automatic rather than the D-CVT unit of the latest, facelifted model.

Habis laa, now no one can outrun the police
CSR effort only. If take bagi free pon PDRM tak mau.
U so sure ahh bg free pun PDRM x mau? Haha…
More importantly, who is contracting this? Another company like Spanco that charge exorbitant fees for the fleet?
If it isnt Spanco,it will be the Litoral combat ship pirates..full of deepshit.

This is indeed a very suitable car in the city. low maintenance, low petrol consumption, cheaper to own! that’s how rakyat’s money should be spent. when u turn on the siren and blinking blue light, ppl will give way and with this nimble car, u can get to your emergency place as fast as a civic type R.
All the big spending MPs m Aduns should be given the turbo versions of Myvi or Alza .Just drop money pit EV project.Cannot perform,asking for Vellfire n EVs..tidak Ada Maruah..just pathetic…just wasting tax Rm
Maintenance cost should be cheap liao, cannot claim kao kao liao.
my civic 1.5 turbo can outrun the Myvi police car with ease.
The Evolution X will pull you over in no time then
no one is asking you.
We don’t believe you. Why don’t you do some crime and see if can you can outrun to prove it.
UNPOPULAR OPINION: Perodua Ativa makes a good police patrol car. It’s cheap to buy, easy to maintain, cheap to run, an SUV, and it’s aggressive looking (especially at the front). Small enough to maneuver around towns and cities. Big enough to be intimidating. Add in a bumper bar, in addition to police decals and lights and you got yourself a great patrol car. I don’t get the fixation on C-segment vehicles.
We dont put cctv of tree. We put myvi on tree.
Bagi model lama pre-facelift. Kedekut sangat. Ntah stock yang terjual kot.
