Overview
The Perodua Ativa is a B-segment SUV launched in 2021 for buyers wanting a five-seat petrol SUV with front-wheel drive and a CVT. The regular range starts at RM62,500, and all three variants use a 996 cc, 97 hp petrol engine. It suits buyers who prioritise a compact SUV format.
Ativa in 2026 — what's new
In 2026, the Ativa range expands with the Ativa Hybrid, confirmed for Malaysian full local production and sales after an earlier CBU subscription trial. The regular petrol range continues with X, H and AV CVT variants, each with five seats and the same 996 cc, 97 hp front-wheel-drive petrol drivetrain. The October 2026 Pink Edition is limited to 10 units and gets a wrap, seat covers and mats.
Which variant to buy
Start with the 1.0 X CVT at RM62,500. It has the same 996 cc, 97 hp petrol engine, front-wheel drive, CVT and five-seat layout as the 1.0 H CVT at RM67,300 and 1.0 AV CVT at RM72,600. The RM4,800 move to H and RM10,100 move to AV do not buy documented mechanical changes, so inspect the equipment list and pay more only for features you specifically want.
Verdict
The regular petrol Ativa is easy to understand: every trim retains the same 996 cc, 97 hp, front-wheel-drive CVT package and five seats. That leaves price and equipment as the decision points. Its entry price is RM6,400 below the Aruz’s RM68,900 starting price. Full local production and sales of the Ativa Hybrid broaden the nameplate in 2026.
