New Perodua Myvi ‘The Next Standard’: Standard specs sheet

Perodua Malaysia officially launched the 20222 Perodua Myvi on 18th November 2021. This mid-life facelift to Malaysia’s best-seller came four years after the G3 Myvi was showcased in 2017. Since 2015, Perodua has sold around 1.3 million units of the five-door hatch, of this total, the third-gen model contributed 277,329 units.

Enough about the past, we are here to discuss the new Myvi that is accompanied by the tagline ‘The Next Standard’. When we first heard this new tagline, the first thing that came to mind was the five-door hatch from Perodua would raise the bar of the standard feature list offered in the segment. So, is our assumption right or not? Let’s find out but first check out the variant options on offer -

The all-new Perodua Myvi is offered in four variant options - the base 1.3 G, 1.5 X, 1.5 H, and range-topping 1.5 AV.
