Perodua Myvi: Mk2 vs D51A
Verdict
The D51A is the newer, safer and more practical Myvi on paper: it gets 4 airbags instead of 2, a 5-star ASEAN NCAP result instead of 3, a larger 277-litre boot and a longer 2,500 mm wheelbase. The Mk2 counters with a manual gearbox, a taller body and a larger 40-litre fuel tank. For a Malaysian buyer choosing new versus outgoing or used, the D51A’s CVT, 4.5 L/100 km rating and five-year warranty make the stronger daily case.
Pick the Perodua Myvi Mk2 if you want the cheaper Myvi, prefer a manual gearbox and can accept the older safety score.
Pick the Perodua Myvi D51A if you want the safer, roomier and more efficient Myvi with CVT automatic drive.
