Verdict
The RM5,000 step from the RM54,900 Myvi 1.5 H to the RM59,900 1.5 AV buys blind-spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with steering assist, a reverse camera and a front dash cam. It does not buy extra pace: both use a 102 hp/136 Nm 1.5-litre petrol engine, take 10.2 seconds to 100 km/h and are rated at 4.7 L/100 km. The H remains the sharper buy for town use, but the AV’s driver-assistance kit is meaningful for frequent highway drivers.
Pick the Perodua Myvi 1.5 H if you want the same 102 hp drivetrain, 4.7 L/100 km rating and core active-safety systems for RM5,000 less.
Pick the Perodua Myvi 1.5 AV if blind-spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, adaptive cruise control with steering assist and a reverse camera justify the extra RM5,000.
