Verdict
At RM46,500 against the QV-E’s RM69,999, the Myvi is the lower-cost route to five-seat petrol motoring. Its 4.5L/100km rating and RM70 annual road tax matter, but the QV-E supplies far more performance: 201 hp and 285 Nm, cutting 0-100 km/h to 7.5 seconds versus 11.5. It is also a larger SUV with 320 litres of boot space. The trade-off is RM160 road tax, a 1,600kg kerb weight and the listed RM215 monthly BaaS rental for nine years.
Pick the Perodua Myvi if you want the RM23,499 cheaper car, a 4.5L/100km petrol rating and a full-size spare tyre.
Pick the Perodua QV-E if you want 201 hp, a 370 km EV range, a roomier 2,680mm wheelbase and substantially more driver assistance.
