Myvi 2018

                     It’s the most significant car launch of the year, but one that no one knew was happening for sure until recently. Expertly kept under wraps till the final lap before today’s unveiling, we now have the all-new 2018 Perodua Myvi. You’ve read our launch report; now find out more about the third-generation Myvi, including our first impressions of it as a static object and in dynamic terms.

                     The Perodua Myvi has been Malaysia’s most popular car for the best part of the last decade. Launched in May 2005, the Myvi (My Vehicle, My Vision) shot straight to the top and was the top selling car in the country for nine consecutive years, before passing the volume baton to the Perodua Axia in 2015.

                     The rise of the Myvi also propelled Perodua to the top of the Malaysian sales charts ahead of incumbent and “big brother” Proton, a position that it has not relinquished since. Clearly, this car means a lot not just to its many owners, but to its maker as well.

                     We were as surprised as you were finding out that the new Myvi will feature LED headlamps across the board (with auto off and follow-me-home functions), in addition to keyless entry/push start, VSC and a minimum of four airbags – all from the RM44,300 base model. For some context, Honda Civic FC buyers can only get LED headlamps with the RM132k range-topping 1.5 TC-P, and both BMW and Mercedes-Benz sell cars (costing multiple times more) without keyless entry, so these are features not to be scoffed at.
