Verdict
The 1.5-litre Myvi is the one to stretch for if you regularly carry passengers or want a keener response: its 102 hp and 136 Nm cut the 0-100 km/h time from 11.5 to 10.2 seconds. It also brings Power Mode, Bluetooth, auto headlamps, steering audio controls, folding mirrors and hill-start assist. But the 1.3 already gets the same five-star ASEAN NCAP rating, four airbags and autonomous braking, while its 4.5 L/100 km rating is slightly better than 4.7 L/100 km. For a city-focused Malaysian buyer, the cheaper car remains the sensible call.
Pick the Perodua Myvi if lower upfront cost and the better 4.5 L/100 km rated economy matter more than stronger acceleration and extra convenience kit.
Pick the Perodua Myvi if the 102 hp 1.5-litre engine, 10.2-second 0-100 km/h time and added daily-use features justify the extra spend.
