Perodua Myvi 1.5 H vs 1.5 AV
Verdict
This is a trim-value call, not a drivetrain decision. Both are B-segment hatchbacks with the same 1,496 cc petrol engine, 102 hp, 136 Nm, CVT auto and front-wheel drive, so the 10.2-second 0-100 km/h time and 4.7 L/100 km fuel use do not change. You also get six airbags, AEB and a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating either way. The RM5,000 gap buys no advantage in the listed hard numbers, so check the equipment list before paying more.
Pick the Perodua Myvi 1.5 H if you want the same engine, safety rating, economy and size for less money.
Pick the Perodua Myvi 1.5 AV if its extra trim equipment matters to you more than the RM5,000 saving.
