Perodua Myvi vs Toyota Yaris
Verdict
At RM46,500 versus RM88,000, the Perodua Myvi asks RM41,500 less than the Toyota Yaris, and that is the core of this fight. The Myvi is the Malaysian smart-money hatchback: 4.5 L/100 km, RM70 road tax and a 5-year warranty make it easy to live with. The Yaris counters with a bigger 1.5 litre engine, 105 hp, 150 Nm, seven airbags and autonomous emergency braking. It is also longer, with a slightly bigger boot. But the gap is huge.
Pick the Perodua Myvi if you want the cheaper B-segment hatchback to buy and run, with 4.5 L/100 km economy and RM70 road tax.
Pick the Toyota Yaris if you want more engine output, seven airbags and autonomous emergency braking, and can accept the RM88,000 price.
