Verdict
At RM39,515, the Perodua Myvi Mk2 Facelift is RM6,985 cheaper, and its 40-litre tank, five-door body and 950 kg kerb weight still suit a budget-minded used-car buyer. But the Perodua Myvi D51A costs RM46,500 for meaningful gains: 94 hp and 121 Nm, a D-CVT automatic, 4.5 L/100 km rated fuel use and a 277-litre boot. More importantly, it moves from a four-star rating with two airbags and no stability control to five stars, front side airbags, ABS/EBD and stability control. That is the newer car’s decisive advantage.
Pick the Perodua Myvi Mk2 Facelift if the RM6,985 lower price, five doors and 40-litre tank matter more than automatic driving and modern safety equipment.
Pick the Perodua Myvi D51A if you want the D-CVT automatic, 5-star safety rating, stability control and a 277-litre boot.
