Verdict
The Honda Jazz costs RM70,242 against the Perodua Myvi’s RM46,500, a RM23,742 gap. The Jazz brings a 1.5-litre 118 hp/145 Nm petrol engine, 363-litre boot and 2,530-mm wheelbase, so it has the stronger numbers for carrying people and luggage. But the Myvi is 82 kg lighter, returns a rated 4.5 L/100 km versus 5.6 L/100 km, and gets five-star ASEAN NCAP protection with side airbags and stability control. For most budget-led Malaysian buyers, the Myvi is the more rational buy; the Jazz earns consideration for its space and output.
Pick the Honda Jazz if you need its 363-litre boot, 60:40 ULTRA rear seats with tip-up bases and 118 hp engine.
Pick the Perodua Myvi if you want to spend RM23,742 less while getting 4.5 L/100 km rated economy, stability control and front side airbags.
