Perodua Myvi: Mk2 Facelift vs D51A
Verdict
The Perodua Myvi D51A costs RM46,500 against RM39,515 for the Perodua Myvi Mk2 Facelift, so the newer car asks RM6,985 more. That money buys a bigger car with a 2,500 mm wheelbase, 277-litre boot, four airbags, 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating, CVT automatic and better rated economy at 4.5 L/100 km. The Mk2 Facelift is still a five-seat B-segment hatch with the same RM70 road tax and five-year warranty, but its 208-litre boot, two airbags and manual gearbox make it feel like the older, simpler buy.
Pick the Perodua Myvi Mk2 Facelift if you want the lower RM39,515 price, a manual gearbox and can live with the smaller 208-litre boot and two airbags.
Pick the Perodua Myvi D51A if you can pay RM6,985 more for the CVT automatic, 277-litre boot, four airbags and 5-star ASEAN NCAP result.
