2023 Perodua Myvi gets a colour update; Lava Red discontinued

KUALA LUMPUR: Perodua has upgraded the colour palette of its best-selling car, the Myvi. The striking Cranberry Red shade, which was earlier exclusive to the top-spec AV variant only, is now available for the X and H variants as well. 

The Cranberry Red replaced the Lava Red shade previously offered with the X and H trims. Importantly, the base-spec Myvi G doesn't even provide the latter as a choice now. That means, Lava Red is no longer available on the Perodua Myvi colour palette. 

While Cranberry Red and Lava Red may seem similar as they belong to the same colour family, they are actually quite different. Cranberry Red boasts a richer and deeper tone whereas Lava Red looks flatter in comparison.

Let’s have a look at the variant-wise available colour options -

Variant	Colour options
Myvi G	Electric Blue, Granite Grey, Ivory White, Glittering Silver
Myvi H	Electric Blue, Granite Grey, Ivory White, Glittering Silver, Cranberry Red
Myvi X	Electric Blue, Granite Grey, Ivory White, Glittering Silver, Cranberry Red
Myvi AV	Electric Blue, Granite Grey, Ivory White, Glittering Silver, Cranberry Red

As a quick recap, Perodua gave a mid-life refresh to the third-gen Myvi in late 2021. Touted as the “Next Standard Model”, the latest version of the hatchback features sporty looks, more advanced technology, and an enhanced safety pack compared to its predecessor. 

The hatchback comes in two engine options - a 1.3-litre 1NR-VE that kicks out 95 PS of maximum power and 121 Nm of peak torque. Another unit is a 1.5-litre 2NR-VE, which is capable of generating 103 PS of power and 137 Nm of torque. Both engines are mated to a D-CVT (Dual-mode Constantly Variable Transmission). If we talk about fuel consumption, the 1.3-litre engine delivers 22.2 kmpl and the 1.5-litre mill offers 21.1 kmpl.

The 2023 Perodua Myvi price begins at RM 46,500 and goes all the way up to RM 59,900.
