Verdict
At RM39,515, the Mk2 Facelift is RM6,985 cheaper, retains a 40-litre tank and weighs 35 kg less, but its 90 hp manual package gives away 4 hp and 4 Nm to the D51A. The RM46,500 D51A makes more sense as the newer daily: its D-CVT is rated at 4.5 L/100 km against 5.5, the boot grows from 208 to 277 litres, and safety moves from two airbags with no stability control to four airbags, ABS/EBD and stability control. That is a meaningful step up, not a marginal change.
Pick the Perodua Myvi Mk2 Facelift if you want the 5MT manual, a 40-litre fuel tank and the lower purchase cost.
Pick the Perodua Myvi D51A if you want stronger safety equipment, lower rated fuel use and a substantially bigger boot.
