It’s the best cogent car barrage of the year, but one that no one knew was blow for abiding until recently. Expertly kept beneath wraps till the final lap afore today’s unveiling, we now accept the all-new 2018 Perodua Myvi. You’ve apprehend our barrage report; now acquisition out added about the third-generation Myvi, including our aboriginal impressions of it as a changeless article and in activating terms.

The Perodua Myvi has been Malaysia’s best accepted car for the best allotment of the aftermost decade. Launched in May 2005, the Myvi (My Vehicle, My Vision) attempt beeline to the top and was the top affairs car in the country for nine afterwards years, afore casual the aggregate billy to the Perodua Axia in 2015.

The acceleration of the Myvi additionally propelled Perodua to the top of the Malaysian sales archive advanced of bounden and “big brother” Proton, a position that it has not alone since. Clearly, this car agency a lot not aloof to its abounding owners, but to its maker as well.

A reworked JDM Daihatsu Boon (also accepted as Sirion elsewhere), the aboriginal Myvi was interestingly positioned as a alcove archetypal in what was again a boilerplate bazaar bedeviled by sedans (some pundits still subscribe to the “Malaysians adopt sedans” abstraction admitting the archive assuming otherwise), and the abundant acknowledgment that cut beyond demographics bent Perodua by surprise.

The adventitious people’s car confused into the “Lagi Best” second-generation in mid 2011, with a “Lagi Power” 1.5 litre alternative offered for the aboriginal time. The D54T facelift appeared in January 2015. The approachable car has been on its aftermost legs this year, but Perodua still managed to about-face a few thousand units per ages – 42,000 units in the aboriginal three abode of the year is aloof beneath 7,000 units abaft the adolescent and cheaper Axia, and not too bald for a six-year old car.

The “love of the nation” accomplished the one actor units anniversary in June this year, 12 years afterwards it was born. Aloof like how an absolute bearing of drivers lived and abstruse in the aboriginal Proton Saga, the Myvi served that role for abounding a youngster today.

As ex-colleague Jonathan James Tan wrote in his altogether agenda for the Myvi’s tenth anniversary: “Foodies all over the apple may burst and wax agreeable about coq au vin, bouillabaisse and Beluga caviar, but the bashful nasi lemak, begin on every artery corner, has apparently leaked added drool, apathetic added appetites, evoked added memories and affected added hearts. In Malaysia, at least.”

With such a admired domiciliary name in the pocket, it was assured that the “New Standard Compact” would backpack the Myvi name for years to come. Perodua larboard it accessible till the official advertisement beforehand this ages (to the columnist at least), but the connected use of the Myvi cast was never in doubt.

Now, Perodua calls the third-generation Myvi the change of an icon, but this biographer begs to differ. It’s absolutely an amount in the bounded context, but ‘evolution’ is affairs the third-gen car short, IMHO. The about-face from aboriginal to added ancestors can be advised an change a’la Porsche 911 and Volkswagen Golf, but this new one break abroad from the barometer in added means than one. Let us explain.

The Axia and Bezza paved the way for the 99.9% Perodua accomplishment that is the new Myvi

While aboriginal Peroduas were simple rebadge jobs of absolute Daihatsu models, the Rawang-based carmaker has gradually took on added architecture responsibilities over the years. Jibes from opposing admirers that P2 is aloof a bonanza designing close accept captivated beneath baptize in contempo times. For instance, the Axia, Perodua’s aboriginal “transformation model”, comes with localised appearance such as the anti-snatch bag bend amid the advanced seats – small, but it addresses bounded aegis apropos and is abundant accepted by owners.

Two audible faces (Standard and SE) for contempo models accept accustomed bounded designers affluence of practice, and it all culminated in the accession of the Bezza aftermost year. Perodua’s aboriginal auto was an centralized architecture accoutrement the anatomy as able-bodied as the cabin. There’s no Daihatsu-badged agnate in existence, and the Bezza is a car that’s fabricated for Malaysians by Malaysians.

The trend continues with the new Myvi. Perodua admiral and CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said that the if the Bezza was 80% developed centralized by locals, the D20N Myvi is a 99.99% Perodua accomplishment – now that the car has been revealed, it’s bright that the aerial anatomy has aught similarities with the Daihatsu Boon, akin the altered interior.

Clockwise from top: D20N Perodua Myvi, Thai bazaar Toyota Yaris, Toyota Auris a.k.a. Corolla iM

The new Myvi is additionally not based on the C-segment Toyota Auris (or Corolla iM in the US), as some accept claimed, or alike the Thai Toyota Yaris. There are architecture similarities with the Auris, although that absolutely can’t be a bad thing.

Under the all-new, all-local anatomy is the belvedere from the antecedent Myvi, formed on to the admeasurement that it’s 70% new for this application. The D20N’s best wheelbase and absolutely adapted ambit are affidavit of it.

Perodua says that it acclimated 2.5 times added high-tensile animate than before, with added animating and reinforcements in cardinal areas. The added anatomy acerbity has translated to bigger alive adherence and blast performance. An acoustic windshield reduces NVH levels.

Enhancements to the abeyance accommodate thicker advanced and rear stabiliser bars, a new failing advanced lower arm, stiffer rear axle anatomy with new arced architecture and a redesigned rear cantankerous affiliate for bigger rigidity.

Aminar said that the development aggregation had its allotment of beginning grads and abounding man-hours accept gone into the project, which accepted to be a abrupt acquirements ambit for Perodua. While P2 had abounding freedom in the new Myvi’s design, Daihatsu provided abutment and training. “The ambition was to beat all our models. This is our new flagship model,” he declared.

The new Myvi rolls out of Perodua Manufacturing Sdn Bhd (PMSB), the bulb that fabricated the antecedent Myvi and continues to aftermath the Alza. PMSB is Perodua’s aboriginal factory, and its alone one afore Perodua Global Manufacturing Sdn Bhd (PGMSB) came on lath in 2014. PGMSB, the company’s RM1.3 billion “transformation plant”, mirrors Daihatsu’s top Kyushu bulb in best practices and tech.

Back then, PMSB’s quality, defects per assemblage (DPU, the admeasurement of affection and consistency) and ability acclimated to be lower than that of Daihatsu plants in Japan and Indonesia, and PGMSB, with its beginning hardware, agents and culture, was declared to advance the way for its earlier sibling. Aminar says that the upgraded PMSB’s automation akin is now about on par with PGMSB’s. The new Myvi activity additionally pushed vendors to footfall up, arch to a few bounded companies actuality shortlisted by Daihatsu.

What’s added important for us is that the Myvi itself has been upgraded, and by some allowance too. It’s attenuate that we alpha anecdotic a car by its features, but it’s difficult to attending accomplished the new Myvi’s agitative account of equipment.

We were as afraid as you were award out that the new Myvi will affection LED headlamps beyond the lath (with auto off and follow-me-home functions), in accession to keyless entry/push start, VSC and a minimum of four airbags – all from the RM44,300 abject model. For some context, Honda Civic FC buyers can alone get LED headlamps with the RM132k range-topping 1.5 TC-P, and both BMW and Mercedes-Benz advertise cars (costing assorted times more) after keyless entry, so these are appearance not to be scoffed at.

There’s more. The two 1.5L variants get six airbags; and as if that wasn’t big abundant account on the assurance front, the top 1.5L Advance gets an Advanced Assurance Abetment (ASA) backpack that includes Pre-Collision Admonishing (PCW), Pre-Collision Braking (PCB), Advanced Abandonment Alive (FDA) and Pedal Misoperation Ascendancy (PMC).

With PCB, the new Myvi becomes the alone car beneath RM100k to accept or free emergency braking (AEB), never apperception in the B-segment or the civic car market. The abutting cheapest cars to accept AEB are the Hyundai Ioniq (RM114k), high-spec Mazda 3 (RM125k) and high-spec Peugeot 308 (RM128k).

The ASA apparatus are absolute Daihatsu systems (called Smart Abetment in JDM Daihatsus) and they accomplish through a forward-facing stereo camera on the top of the windscreen, which detects car shapes. Daihatsu calls SA an “advanced crash-avoidance abetment system”, but warns that SA assumes safe alive on the customer’s part, and that one should not await on the arrangement but to drive safe.

Pre-Collision Admonishing warns you aback a blow is about to happen, aural a fizz two abnormal afore an approaching crash. It works amid 4 and 30 km/h. Should the disciplinarian not acknowledge to PCW’s audio beheld admonishing by braking or council away, Pre-Collision Braking takes over by automatically braking the car.

PCB works in two stages – bendable braking 1.3 abnormal afore the blast and adamantine braking 0.8 abnormal afore impact. In absolute life, you’ll aloof feel one agitated stop. If the aboriginal acceleration is about or beneath 20 km/h, a blast can be abhorred altogether. If one was travelling amid 20-30 km/h, blow from the appulse can potentially be reduced.

Set to be deployed added generally is Advanced Abandonment Alert, which as its name suggests, alerts you aback the car in advanced has ancient in a cartage jam or queue. Best drivers ability for their smartphones in a queue, so FDA’s buzzer will save you from actuality honked by the car abaft already the lights about-face green. FDA is activated already you get aural 10 metres of the car in front. Already in line, the buzzer will complete if the gap exceeds three metres and the disciplinarian fails to react.

Lastly, Pedal Misoperation Ascendancy detects a coffer in advanced (within four metres), and will not acquiesce the car to advance forward. Agent achievement ascendancy will abide for up to eight seconds. PMC is advantageous to anticipate the adventitious dispatch of the amiss pedal (gas instead of brakes) in parking situations, which can account abundant damage. Afore you snigger, these things do happen, and chief drivers are a capital contributor to blow statistics in Japan, which has an ageing population.

Just like with all technology, there are limitations. The stereo camera detects car shapes and there allegation be a minimum of 60% overlap for the functions to work. The acreage of eyes is 40 degrees accumbent and 20 degrees vertical, and the angel is 1280 x 960 pixels. It can see up to 60 metres ahead. The cameras activity as a brace of eyes would, and if eyes is blocked by abundant rain or fog, it won’t ascertain well.

Personally, I’d like to anticipate of ASA as a non-spooky aerial acquaintance that’s anytime present in the car. You, the driver, are absolutely allegation of the controls. But alike the best of us get absent sometimes – whether by a phone, kids or a abnormality apperception – and added generally than not, oops moments appear in low acceleration burghal situations.

It’s times like these that ASA makes itself useful, by nudging you to move aback you’re declared to, and agreeable “watch out!” aback you’re about to bend your fender. I can anticipate of a few incidents area ASA’s appearance would accept adored me time, money and altercation arising from accessory accidents. The absolute Myvi ambit has been accustomed a best appraisement by ASEAN NCAP, by the way.

Lest we forget, all these accessories are army on a car, and the third-generation Myvi is the aboriginal big abandonment from the architecture template. Gone is the high-roofed anatomy of the aboriginal two Myvis and in comes a sleeker shape.

At 3,895 mm continued and 1,735 mm wide, the D20N is a cogent 205 mm best and 70 mm added than the approachable car. The beyond cast combines with a 30 mm bead in acme (1,515 mm) for added conventional, and abreast auto proportions.

The new car’s 2,500 mm wheelbase is 60 mm best than afore – this, calm with greater bike ambit (937 mm amid the advanced and rear passengers) and autogenous amplitude translates to a added ample cabin. The Myvi’s acceptable top hat-accomodating arch allowance is no more, but what’s larboard is altogether able for best passengers, including my 180 cm aide Hazril Hafiz sitting abaft the driver’s armchair in his own alive position.

The beyond anatomy has additionally freed up added burden amplitude – 277 litres is 69 litres up on the antecedent Myvi and added than the Axia’s 260 litres. Like the abate car, the Myvi’s cossack can absorb four pieces of berth sized luggage. The rear seats can breach bend 60:40 to acknowledge an 832 litre hole, but the credible isn’t absolutely flat. Previously, the bench abject can be angled advanced for the backrest to bend alike with the cossack floor, but the bench abject is anchored here. The bench aback retains the two-step recline, however.

Under the hood, the Myvi continues with 1.3 and 1.5 litre agent choices, commutual to a four-speed automatic. There’s a five-speed chiral advantage for the abject 1.3L trim akin (Standard G), but none for the 1.3L Exceptional X and the bigger engine. New to the Myvi, the two engines are from the accepted Toyota/Daihatsu NR family, with DOHC and Bifold VVT-i.

The 1NR-VE 1.3L assemblage (94 hp at 6,000 rpm, 121 Nm at 4,000 rpm) fabricated its Perodua admission with the Bezza, and the Myvi’s agent agency is identical to the Toyota Avanza’s. The 2NR 1.5L agent additionally admiral the Toyota Vios, and here, it makes 102 hp at 6,000 rpm and 136 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. Eco Idle auto start-stop, which fabricated its admission in the Bezza, is accessible on 1.3 Exceptional X and aloft variants.

Intake and bankrupt Bifold VVT-i aside, the new engines affection teflon blanket for the pistons (reduces friction), beyond baptize jackets (better cooling, bigger combustion, lower noise), roller rocker arm (reduces abrasion amid rocker arm and camshaft) and iridium atom plugs.

The engines are fabricated locally by Daihatsu Perodua Agent Manufacturing (DPEM) in Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan. The DPEM bulb neighbours the Akashi Kikai branch that makes the Myvi’s 5MT and 4AT gearboxes.

The new engines amalgamate with aerodynamic improvements (Cd 0.296 vs 0.306) for bigger ammunition economy. The Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) classified Myvi’s claimed ammunition abridgement is from 20.1 km/l (for the 1.3 AT after Eco Idle and 1.5 AT with Eco Idle; 20.5 km/l for 1.3 MT) to 21.1 km/l for the 1.3 AT with Eco Idle. An apple-to-apple allegory would be the 1.5 AT’s 20.1 km/l with the approachable Myvi 1.5L AT’s 15.4 km/l. Alike if you booty bristles off the headlining amount to atone for absolute apple conditions, the FC would still be decent.

We were accustomed the befalling to sample the new Myvi a brace of weeks ago at Perodua’s analysis clue in Sg Choh, and came abroad from the affair impressed. It feels badly altered from the moment you footfall in, with the aftereffect from the lower roof anon credible if you’ve spent time in antecedent Myvis. Equally, you sit lower than afore – cliched it may be, but it feels added like you’re sitting in the car now instead of on it. The Ford Fiesta (in) and Mazda 2 (on) allegorize this aberration perfectly.

It’s accessible to acquisition an ideal alive position with the bench acme adjuster and bend adjustable steering, which bend is added cocked now (a acceptable thing). The bench itself appearance ancillary bolsters (they feel squishy, not restrictive) for added support, clashing the collapsed chairs of old. A able alive position may complete elementary, but it’s article that’s not a accustomed aback it comes to Peroduas – the Axia is a abundant basal car IMHO, but the anchored council and its bend is one aspect I can’t alive with.

So, the Myvi’s altered cool aerial feel has been replaced by a added accepted ambience, one that’s added “connected” and accessory for complex driving. But a aloft contributor to that consequence is the architecture of the dashboard, which for the aboriginal time in a Myvi, is centred about the driver. We’re not talking about sports car levels of disciplinarian focus here, but it’s a big about-face for both archetypal and brand.

Our testers were a admixture of pre-production units and prototypes with abridged trim panels. Not the best to adjudicator autogenous affection with, but alike on the mules, it’s bright that Perodua caked added absorption on perceived affection and blow points. It’s a lot added pleasing, and cartel we say, exceptional compared to what was served before. No photography was accustomed during the pre-launch drive.

It’s not accessible to abruptness bodies who attending at cars every day, but the Myvi affected us to argue anniversary other. Accept you anytime apparent air con with anamnesis for the settings? Are we attractive at a world’s first? None of us accept apparent such a affair before, so the Myvi’s two air con presets could be a unique-to-Perodua feature, a Malaysian invention. The AC assemblage itself is a single-zone assemblage with a agenda display.

Another abruptness and contentment affection we’ve not appear beyond is a USB charger anchored in the driver’s seat. The accept akin anchorage is accompanied by a sleeve lower down, which holds a buzz or ability coffer – no added cruddy cables and phones animadversion the centre animate during cornering. On the adverse ancillary is the anti-snatch bag bend that fabricated its admission in the Axia, and addition pouch.

In the activity of the altered features, my vote goes to the congenital Blow n Go agenda reader, which retires a Myvi owner’s Smart Tag for good. Nicely chip in a accommodation to the lower appropriate of the council caster (with alluring closing no less), the accessory has a awning to appearance actual amount (it will complete an alive if stored amount avalanche beneath RM10), and is affiliated to a transmitter amid at the abject of the windscreen. Really neat.

Satisfied with the new Myvi as a changeless object, we proceeded to put the new car through its paces about P2’s analysis track, which is a admixture of aerial acceleration straights and “real world” challenges such as a acropolis area meant to simulate the North-South Highway’s Gua Tempurung amplitude aloof afore Ipoh.

We started with the 1.5 Advance, and acknowledgment off the band was actual sprightly; the consequence that the bigger-engined Myvi is “fast” lasted throughout the loop. The engine’s affluence is not too far bottomward the barrel, and the Myvi 1.5 should be calmly accommodating in circadian cut and advance driving. In truth, the antecedent Myvi 1.5 acquainted actual abrupt as well, and the advantages of the new Bifold VVT-i agent should be added bright cut in efficiency.

The four-speed automated does its business in a aboveboard manner, as you’d apprehend such a accurate aerialist to. Four advanced ratios ability draw some sniggers, but we anticipate that it’s altogether able in this application. Added does not consistently beggarly better, as accurate by the aboriginal five-speed auto Honda City adjoin the again 4AT Toyota Vios. Not abiding about you, but I’d accept this over a CVT in a car like the Myvi, area automated artlessness is allotment of the appeal.

The Myvi 1.3 performs adequately, but the added accomplishment bald to get it up to acceleration is apparent – it’s aloof that bit beneath effortless than the 1.5L motor. This biographer has never endemic an automated car before, but the band would end if I were to buy a Myvi. The chiral about-face may be added absolute than what I bethink from Perodua, but the activity is not the best acceptable – this car is bigger served by the faultless auto. At atomic there’s an advantage to DIY if you must.

A absolute of two sweepers, one aerial acceleration bend and one ambit isn’t abundant to draw abstracts on the new Myvi’s dynamics, but aboriginal impressions are good. The Perodua feels like the lower car that it is, added buried and defended at aerial speeds. The council has appropriate weight and feels almost “connected” to the action. We collection the Myvi over a amplitude of aching alley that simulates absolute apple bad roads, and ride abundance seemed able-bodied controlled. It’s quieter in the cabin, too.

The Myvi hasn’t adapted into the driver’s aces of the B-segment overnight, but it appears to be added dynamically competent than ever, which improves the all-embracing amalgamation into a ample one. Coupled with an all-encompassing account of appearance that wouldn’t attending out of abode on a non-national C-segment car, bigger design, and inflation-defying prices; the new Myvi is as abiding a hit as it can be.

We anticipate that the new Myvi is absurd amount for money, but this actuality Malaysia, there are apprenticed to be grumbles still. Expensive? Let us admonish you that 12 years ago, the aboriginal Myvi’s amount started at RM41,200, and that was for a kosong 1.0L manual. The top 1.3 EZi amount over RM51k then. Today’s car, with all the aloft kit, is priced from RM44,300 to RM55,300. “Thailand cars abundant cheaper, bro”. The bald basic Yaris J Eco 1.2L with animate auto and no radio is castigation for RM60k (479,000 baht).

Perodua has continued realised – alike afore Honda’s contempo acceleration – that in a liberalised market, its accurate antagonism is from adopted makes. Although it charcoal the Malaysian bazaar baton by a adequate margin, the new Myvi – which has exceeded expectations aback it didn’t charge to – is affidavit that P2 is not comatose on its laurels. The abutting actor units ability appear eventually than the last!
