Which variant to buy
Most buyers should start with the 1.0 X CVT at RM62,500 because every listed Ativa variant has the same 996 cc petrol engine, 97 hp output, CVT automatic and five-seat layout. The 1.0 H CVT costs RM67,300, while the 1.0 AV CVT costs RM72,600. On paper you are paying for trim, not mechanicals, so move up only if the equipment list has items you specifically want.

Perodua Ativa buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The Ativa’s case is simple: it is Perodua’s compact SUV and it starts below the listed B-segment SUV price span, as well as below the Aruz, Traz and QV-E. It is not the bigger family option in Perodua’s SUV line-up; the Traz sits above it and the Aruz is larger. For a five-seat petrol SUV with low entry pricing, the Ativa still has a clear role.
