Perodua Myvi 1.5 X vs 1.5 H
Verdict
This is a same-car, same-drivetrain decision. The Perodua Myvi 1.5 X and Perodua Myvi 1.5 H both use a 1,496 cc petrol engine with 102 hp and 136 Nm, a CVT, front-wheel drive and the same 10.2-second 0-100 km/h time. Running costs also line up at 4.7 L/100 km and RM90 road tax. The RM4,000 gap mainly buys safety kit: six airbags in the 1.5 H instead of four. If that matters, the H is the clearer buy.
Pick the Perodua Myvi 1.5 X if you want the same 102 hp, 10.2-second performance and 4.7 L/100 km economy for RM4,000 less, and can accept four airbags.
Pick the Perodua Myvi 1.5 H if you want six airbags on top of the same engine, CVT, economy and 5★ ASEAN NCAP rating.
