Verdict
At RM46,500, the Perodua Myvi D51A costs RM5,850 more than the RM40,650 Perodua Myvi Mk2, but that gap buys a 94 hp/121 Nm 1.329-litre petrol engine, D-CVT automatic and a claimed 4.5 L/100 km. It is also 205 mm longer, has a 277-litre boot and carries a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating with front side airbags and stability control. The Mk2’s 40-litre tank, five doors and Bluetooth are useful, but its 90 hp manual package and three-star safety rating make it the used-budget choice rather than the stronger all-rounder.
Pick the Perodua Myvi Mk2 if a lower RM40,650 entry price, five doors, Bluetooth and its larger 40-litre fuel tank matter more than automatic driving and newer safety kit.
Pick the Perodua Myvi D51A if you want the D-CVT automatic, five-star ASEAN NCAP rating, 277-litre boot and five-year/150,000 km warranty.
