KUALA LUMPUR: Perodua has already caused a stir in the Malaysian automotive market this year by introducing the new Ativa and now it takes one step further by revamping its best-selling model. The automaker just launched the all-new 2022 Myvi on its social media platform. Touted as the Next Standard Model, the new Myvi is available in five variants - two 1.3 G trims, 1.5 X, 1.5 H, and 1.5 AV. Let’s first look at their prices:

2022 Perodua Myvi price list

Variant	Price (on-the-road excluding insurance and sales tax)
Myvi 1.3 G (without PSDA)	RM 45,700
Myvi 1.3 G	RM 47,700
Myvi 1.5 X	RM 49,900
Myvi 1.5 H	RM 53,900
Myvi 1.5 AV	RM 58,800

Now, let’s talk about the changes, starting with the exterior.

The new Myvi features a youthful design with eye-catching accents and dynamic contours. It has a fresh front fascia making a big X in the centre, the grille is now larger and deeper and teamed up with a slim chrome bar joining the new LED headlights. For the first time, Perodua came up with the LED DRLs positioned as vertical strips on the refreshed bumper. The latter also sports a downturned centre air intake.

At the back, we can spot the redesigned bumper incorporating vertical vents twining with the front vertical LED strips. Black painted wing mirrors, and 15-inch alloy wheels are among the other standard exterior highlights.

2022 Perodua Myvi colour choices - Cranberry Red (AV only), Electric Blue, Glittering Silver, Ivory White, Granite Grey, and Lava Red (not for AV).

Inside, the dashboard architecture of the new Myvi looks almost identical to the predecessor. However, it gets some hi-tech appointments that are limited to the top-spec trim. These are

• New steering wheel with lots of control buttons
• Redesigned instrument cluster with a new TFT coloured multi-info display
• Larger 6.9-inch centre infotainment display on the AV and H 
• Leather-wrapped seats with red accents
• Red touches on the AC vents surround

Perodua offers the new Myvi in the same engine options. First is a 1.3-litre 1NR-VE that delivers a maximum power output of 95 PS and a peak torque of 121 Nm. Another unit is a 1.5-litre 2NR-VE good for making 103 PS of power and 137 Nm of torque. 

While the engines are the same, Perodua introduced the new transmission with the facelift model, which is a D-CVT (Dual-mode Constantly Variable Transmission). According to the automaker, the new gearbox offers a 20% faster acceleration, and a 5% reduction in fuel consumption. Speaking about the latter, the 1.3 trims deliver 22.2 kmpl while the 1.5 variants get 21.1 kmpl.

In terms of safety, the new Myvi offers significant upgrades. It is now equipped with updated Advanced Safety Assist 3.0, bundling advanced driver-assistance features like Pre-collision Warning with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Pre-collision Braking, Pedal Misoperation Control, Front Departure Alert, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Departure Prevention, and Auto High Beam. This kit is optional on 1.3 G.

Not only this, but the range-topping Myvi AV also gets the Perodua Smart Driver Assist offering level 2 autonomous driving features such as Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Control, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Reverse Camera.

With all these, the king of the Malaysian roads is ready to step up its game. You can now check out the new Myvi at any authorised Perodua showroom nationwide.
