2018 Perodua Myvi Spec Revealed!

 Teasers are out for the all-new 2018 Perodua Myvi! One of the bestselling hatchback in Malaysia is back, this time "Lagi (more) Features, Lagi Best"? The initial spec revealed for the Myvi has been nothing but impressive. Let's take a look...

Codenamed D20N, Perodua managed to design the all-new Myvi's upper body completely in-house. I'm glad it's not a rebadge of the existing Boon, where its design is not really what I'd call locally-tasted. 

Five variants will be offered: 1.3 Standard G (5-speed manual), 1.3 Standard G (4-speed auto), 1.3 Premium X (auto), 1.5 High and 1.5 Advance. 1.3 utilises the same engine found in the Bezza, producing 94hp @ 6,000rpm and 121Nm of torque at 4,000rpm, while the 1.5 produces 106hp @ 6,000rpm and 136Nm of torque at 4,200rpm. With the help of Eco-Idle auto start-stop, the 1.5 engine fuel consumption is rated at 20.1km/l, compared to 15.4km/l of the existing Myvi 1.5. Perfect considering RON95 petrol has increased by 7sen to RM2.31 per litre starting tomorrow!

Ala-Citroen C4 taillight.

Features wise, the breakdown according to variants is as below:

One notable mention is the Advanced Safety Assist (ASA), only available in the Myvi 1.5 Advance. Similar to autonomous braking technology such as Honda Sensing or Toyota Safety Sense, it comprises Pre-Collision Warning, Pre-Collision Braking, Front Departure Alert and Pedal Misoperation Control. 

A forward-facing camera is mounted in the housing of the rear view mirror, where Pre-Collision Warning will warn the driver if a collision is bound to happen and Pre-Collision Braking will perform automatic braking to prevent the collision (up to 30km/h), good for misjudgement or lack of attention. Front Departure Alert is to warn to driver where the front car has moved while you are not (such as paying attention to your phone). Lastly, Pedal Misoperation Control is to retard acceleration when the sensor senses there's an object in front. 

No official dimension has been revealed. I do hope that the interior space and its practicality could rival the Honda Jazz, which is one of the best in its segment. The outgoing Myvi has a boot space of 208 litres, which can barely fit two medium size luggage bags. 

With the better fuel consumption and larger cabin space, get ready to see the all-new Myvi flooding our roads again very soon. It also will provide a good option to Uber/Grab driver as well for their daily operation.

1.3 Standard G (manual): RM44,300
