Verdict
These are closely matched Malaysian-assembled B-segment hatchbacks: both use a 94 hp naturally aspirated petrol engine, CVT, front-wheel drive and carry five-star ASEAN NCAP ratings. The Myvi costs RM46,500, RM6,200 more than the Iriz, but brings a 277-litre boot against 215 litres, LED headlamps and keyless push-button start. Its 4.5 L/100 km rated economy is also useful for regular commuting. The RM40,300 Iriz counters with a 55 mm longer wheelbase, 15-inch wheels, Bluetooth and hill-start assist. Pick by priorities rather than expecting a dramatic performance divide; the torque gap is only 1 Nm.
Pick the Perodua Myvi if you want the larger 277-litre boot, rated 4.5 L/100 km economy, LED headlamps and keyless start.
Pick the Proton Iriz if saving RM6,200, gaining a 2,555 mm wheelbase, 15-inch wheels, Bluetooth and hill-start assist matters more.
