After the brief burst of bulletins and teasers, the 2022 Perodua Myvi facelift is now formally launched. That is the mid-life refresh of the third technology of Malaysia’s greatest vendor, and it comes four years after the “G3” Myvi surfaced in late 2017.

If you happen to’re questioning how in style precisely is the Myvi, Perodua has bought some 1.3 million units of the five-door hatchback since Could 2005. Of this whole, the third-generation has contributed 277,329 models, or nearly 70k a 12 months. It wasn’t that way back that carmakers insisted that Malaysians choose sedans – look the place we at the moment are. Love of the nation certainly.

“The Myvi has struck all the precise cords with Malaysians and has been extensively accepted by the folks. This new providing is to make sure that our valued prospects are getting the very best worth as attainable,” stated Perodua president and CEO Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad, placing it evenly.

We don’t actually realise it as customers, however new merchandise are deliberate means upfront, and this D51A venture began again in February 2019, barely greater than a 12 months after the third-gen’s launch. Since then, over 137,000 man hours have been poured into bettering Malaysia’s greatest promoting automotive, and the whole venture price is a slightly substantial RM50 million, particularly for a facelift. You’ll see why in a bit.

Perodua has acquired a behavior of elevating the tech and options bar by some margin with each new product, and the Ativa, its latest model, debut earlier this year with driver help and lighting tech that’s unprecedented for a RM100k automotive, by no means thoughts that the AV is simply above RM70k.

The Rawang carmaker nonetheless regards the Myvi, a Malaysian icon, as its flagship mannequin, and “Myvi can’t be left behind by way of know-how development,” the corporate says, in reference to the brand new bar set by the Ativa. So, though they might have gotten away with just a few cosmetics (as a result of it’s only a facelift, and B-segment cars from Proton are but to catch up in security and effectivity anyway), the Myvi will get a heavy replace.

In reality, I don’t bear in mind a extra complete facelift than this one in Perodua’s historical past. Greater than only a bumper swap, there’s loads of new tech and gear, colors and trim, in addition to a serious change within the powertrain division. Lots to unpack, so let’s go.

LED DRLs, a Perodua first

It’s fairly an anomaly that LED daytime working lights is making its debut on a Perodua, right here and now. The Myvi G3 debut in 2017 with full LED headlamps throughout the vary (an even bigger deal than DRLs), whereas the Ativa raised the sport with Audi Matrix LED-style Adaptive Driving Beam headlamps, replete with sequential alerts. Fancy stuff solely seen means above RM100k, however nonetheless no LED DRLs (the GearUp ‘Blaze’ kit had them, however as a price choice).

They’re right here now, as vertical strips on the brand new bumper’s edges. The LED DRLs exchange the previous halogen fog lamps, they usually’re routinely on in the course of the day, when the headlamps aren’t turned on. When it will get darkish and the headlamps are on, the DRLs are not wanted – it’s a case of both or. LED DRLs are reserved for the highest two trim ranges, H and AV.

Only a word for future homeowners. There’s no strategy to manually activate the DRLs at night time, as all 1.5L fashions have auto headlamps, which detect that it’s darkish and the headlamps needs to be on. The opposite handbook stalk positions are for the place lamps and headlamps – there’s no “Off” place that may usually deliver the DRLs out.

Recent face with a giant X

The facelift isn’t any nip/tuck and the most recent Myvi gained’t be confused with the unique G3, at the very least from the entrance. The swoopy wide face makes means for a robust X look. There’s a bigger and deeper grille, with a slim chrome strip that runs underneath the Perodua badge and into the headlights. The entrance bumper options sharp contours across the downturned centre air consumption, and is framed by the above-mentioned LED DRL strips.

The gloss black lip now has a silver centre part, which is sort of like a skid plate-like trim on SUVs (H and AV). Look intently on the headlamps and also you’ll discover that it has been “reduce” on the finish that meets the grille. The precise headlamps inside are new, and so is the inner housing. New form headlamps aren’t quite common with facelifts, which usually search to have a recent have a look at minimal price.

The rear bumper is new, and it sports activities vertical vents on the extremes to match the LED strips in entrance. There’s a two-tone search for the highest variants – black across the license plate. The taillights have been carried over wholesale, together with the 15-inch alloys (185/55 tyres), that are already slightly excessive spec with diamond reduce and a two-tone end. Like on the Ativa, all trim ranges have black painted wing mirrors.

You higher like crimson, or else…

You higher like the color crimson, lots, in case you’re eyeing the highest AV. It’s not a sprinkle of crimson right here and there, however the cabin is dominated by the daring color. The air conditioning vents have crimson bezels, and the brand new instrument panel has a sporty crimson theme, however it’s seats that make the crimson stand out a lot right here.

The AV’s leather-based seats have a crimson centre part that’s perforated, coupled with a crimson define of the seat. Collectively, there’s extra crimson than black, and the chosen tone is a slightly shiny crimson, lighter than the brand new signature exterior Cranberry Purple hue and the crimson in Ativa AV. Not many could be asking for extra crimson, however for the few, there’s no crimson stitching for the steering and kit space.

The opposite variants get new cloth seats, they usually’re all darkish. The H seats have an attention-grabbing scaly sample that jogs my memory of snakeskin. No crimson theme for different variants, so the theme is black with some silver trim. No extra chrome rings for the AC vents – it’s all silver now.

The steering wheel is new, taken from the Ativa. It seems to be good and extra fashionable, and the spokes have sufficient house for all the D51A’s new security options. Word that it’s not full, even on the AV – there are 4 blanks in comparison with the Ativa AV’s one – however actually, nobody needs to be complaining about equipment, because the Myvi runs rings across the newest 2022 Iriz and Persona facelifts.

The aspect panel under the driving force’s AC vent is full although, due to the Auto Excessive Beam button. It comprises a brand new wing mirror management panel, once more from the Ativa.

The entire vary will get new instrument panels, however the AV will get an unique crimson themed cluster, which sporty graphics remind us of the 2011 “Lagi Power, Lagi Best” Myvi SE cluster. Between the 2 shiny ringed dials is a full-height color TFT multi-info show with a welcome graphic (date and the Myvi’s face) and instantaneous gasoline consumption bar.

This new meter is of the Optitron model, which is all the time illuminated however seems to be blacked out when the automotive is off. The Myvi truly used electroluminescent gauges earlier than, however it was phased out within the second-generation facelift in 2015.

The non-AV variants get less complicated white-lit dials with a barely smaller LCD MID. That is shared with the bottom Ativa X, the one variant of the SUV utilizing analogue dials. To the left of that could be a new head unit with a touchscreen measurement that has been expanded from 6.2 to six.9 inches huge (H and AV). The consumer interface follows the revolving tiles look of the Ativa’s HU.

The air conditioning panel seems to be an identical at a look, however look intently and also you’ll discover that there’s only one reminiscence button as an alternative of two. That’s as a result of one of many buttons is now an “Off” button – beforehand, to show off the AC, one needed to press the fan down button repeatedly, so that is an enchancment. Don’t fear, it’s nonetheless able to two reminiscence settings, simply jog by means of the “MEM” button.

The row of buttons above the AC panel is now full, due to seatbelt reminders for the three rear seats. Lastly, the gear lever markers now have S and B modes that exchange 3 and a pair of. That is due to the gearbox change from 4AT to CVT – S is the self-explanatory Sport, whereas B is for max engine braking, helpful for downhill stretches.

Talking of modes, there’s a brand new Energy button on the steering wheel for 1.5L fashions. Like on the Ativa, urgent this offers you entry to most engine energy. It really works the in each D and S gear modes. Lastly, the Myvi now has auto door lock, which engages at 20 km/h. The important thing fob has been modified to the Ativa’s.

The entire Myvi’s distinctive homegrown comfort options have been retained, together with the built-in toll reader (built-in SmartTag), seat aspect USB charging port with cellphone pocket, purse hook and tapau hooks built-in into the entrance seat backs. By the way in which, the Ativa will get not one of the above (armrest takes up house between the seats), and also you’ll solely miss them once they’re gone.

Security is the primary precedence

Stage 2 autonomous driving and Adaptive Cruise Management on a Myvi that earlier than this didn’t have common cruise management – that’s the leap we’re seeing right here. In reality, Perodua didn’t strictly want to improve this division because the pre-facelift Myvi continues to be unchallenged within the sub-RM60k nationwide automotive enviornment, after which some.

Proton facelifted the Iriz and Persona this 12 months and selected to “spend our money on more useful things for the customer” resembling an expanded “Hello Proton” system as an alternative of ADAS. In the meantime, Perodua debuted its Superior Security Help (ASA) within the Myvi in 2017, rolled out an improved ASA 2.0 within the Aruz in 2019 and launched ASA 3.0 with the Ativa this 12 months, a part underneath the brand new Perodua Sensible Drive Help (PSDA) umbrella.

The ASA suite – which incorporates Pre-collision Warning (PCW), Pre-collision Braking (PCB or AEB), Entrance Departure Alert (FDA) and Pedal Misoperation Management (PMC) – is commonplace throughout the 2022 Myvi vary aside from the bottom 1.3 G, which could be had with ASA, Auto Excessive Beam and Lane Departure Warning/Prevention as an choice pack.

ASA 3.0 updates embrace two-wheeled automobile detection for PCW and PCB (pedestrian detection already added in 2.0), and an expanded working vary for PCW, now 4-120 km/h, up by 20 km/h. PCB or AEB can now be used for an infinite quantity of occasions. Beforehand, after three auto braking stops, the engine must be restarted to reboot the system. ASA additionally works at night time now, however just for automobiles and if their taillights are on.

All automobiles with ASA additionally include Lane Departure Warning and Lane Departure Prevention, which detects street markers and warns you (audio and visible) in case you’re veering off observe. LDP will tug the steering and pull you again in line.

The Myvi AV goes semi-autonomous with the addition of Lane Maintain Management (LKC) and Adaptive Cruise Management (ACC). Like on the Ativa, ACC works between 30 to 125 km/h with three ranges of distance from the automobile in entrance. It has no low-speed observe so it doesn’t work in site visitors jams. The vary topping variant can be the one one to return with Blind Spot Monitor (BSM, buzzer will sound if sign lamp activated, in any other case simply the lamp) and Rear Cross Site visitors Alert (RCTA).

Auto Excessive Beam (AHB) is out there on all however the base non-ASA G. Reflector LED headlamps are commonplace throughout the Myvi vary – as earlier than – and in case you flip AHB on, will probably be lively above 30 km/h, or when environment are very darkish. The system will auto dip the excessive beam when it detects oncoming site visitors, so that you don’t should manually flash the excessive beam. P2 has reserved the following stage Audi Matrix LED-style Adaptive Driving Beam for the Ativa H and AV, which is honest.

Entrance nook parking sensors can be found from the 1.5 H up, however the reverse digital camera and dashcam are unique to the AV. As for airbags, it’s 4 for the 1.3 G and 1.5 X, and 6 for the H and AV. VSA is after all commonplace.

4AT palms the baton to CVT

If the adjustments ended with the security enhance, it might have been a giant facelift. However Perodua didn’t cease there, electing to enhance on the effectivity of the powertrain by swapping the long-serving four-speed automated gearbox for a CVT. Known as D-CVT for Dual-Mode CVT, the stepless gearbox is identical unit that made its debut within the Ativa.

Curiously, that is the primary software of the D-CVT in a non-DNGA (Daihatsu New World Structure) automotive, and the Myvi now makes use of the Ativa’s electrical structure to help all the most recent capabilities.

D-CVT is the world’s first break up gear CVT system. Principally, the unit combines belt drive with a gear drive for improved gasoline effectivity, acceleration really feel and calmness. From relaxation to low/medium speeds, the D-CVT capabilities like some other CVT, with the engine’s torque going by means of a torque converter (like Toyota and Honda CVTs, Proton’s Punch CVT makes use of a clutch pack) and into the enter pulley, earlier than being transferred to the output pulley by way of a belt after which to the wheels.

At larger speeds, the D-CVT shifts into its break up mode, partaking the gear drive to offer extra environment friendly energy transmission (much less power loss), whereas the rotation to the belt drive is decreased considerably. Within the Ativa, D-CVT will get a handbook mode with seven digital ratios, however that has been omitted right here. Extra on the D-CVT here.

There’s good motive for the swap from 4AT to CVT. Even with unchanged engines, Perodua is touting 5% higher gasoline financial system – the 1.3L now has a claimed mixed FC determine of twenty-two.2 km/l (from 21.1 km/l) whereas the 1.5L is sweet for 21.1 km/l (from 20.1 km/l). As regular, shave off a couple of km/l for real-world consumption – it’ll nonetheless be excellent.

Maybe you aren’t stunned by the FC positive aspects; in any case, CVTs are recognized for his or her effectivity. You’re extra into efficiency, and also you’re anticipating a worth to pay in that division. Sorry to disappoint, however the D-CVT-equipped Myvi is now a whopping 20% faster in 0-100 km/h acceleration occasions – 11.5 seconds for the 1.3L and 10.2 seconds for the 1.5L. Doesn’t sound like a lot, however as most Malaysians know, the “king of the street” isn’t any gradual poke in the actual world.

Improved FC and efficiency is a win-win, however right here’s a bonus – with the CVT, the Myvi will now cruise at a decrease rpm, which interprets to decrease sound ranges.

The Twin VVT-i, DOHC NR engines are fashionable and present, they usually keep it up unchanged. The 1NR-VE 1.3 litre unit places out 94 hp at 6,000 rpm and 121 Nm of torque at 4,000 rpm. The 2NR-VE 1.5 litre in the meantime makes 102 hp at 6,000 rpm and 136 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. Each have Eco Idle auto start-stop.

Colors, variants and pricing

There’s even a brand new color to associate with all of the adjustments. Cranberry Purple is the hero color right here, reserved for the AV with its crimson inside.

Cranberry Purple is a putting new color that’s needs to be interesting to many – it’s “extra crimson” than the Ativa’s sparkly Pearl Delima Purple – which seems orangey in daylight – and brighter than the Aruz’s new Passion Red. The present Lava Purple, which can’t be had with the AV, is a daily “Ferrari crimson” that appears like a strong color.

Cranberry apart, the opposite colors are the 2020-onwards Electric Blue, Lava Purple, Granite Gray, Glittering Silver and strong Ivory White. Granite Gray just isn’t out there on the bottom 1.3 G, however each different hue is honest sport. I shudder to think about an Electrical Blue AV with that crimson inside…

Lastly, variants and pricing. As revealed earlier, the bottom handbook model has been discontinued (lower than 1% of whole Myvi G3 gross sales means it could possibly’t be defended), so the 2022 Myvi facelift vary begins from the 1.3 G with out ASA/LDW/LDP/AHB for RM45,700. Like all the security bits however don’t take care of frills? The 1.3 G with ASA/LDW/LDP/AHB could be had at precisely RM2,000 extra, at RM47,700.

If it was completely as much as Perodua, ASA would have been throughout the board, however they recognise that there are some preferring most affordability. This group, and automotive modders, are anticipated to quantity to not more than 5% of whole consumers. The market chief thinks that Malaysians do care about security equipment, and are willing to pay for it if they can.

Because the G is the only 1.3L variant this time round, the following step up is the 1.5 X at RM49,900. Other than the larger engine, the entry 1.5L variant will get ASA/LDW/LDP/AHB, Energy mode, auto headlamps, auto folding aspect mirrors (when automotive is locked/unlocked) and Bluetooth for the non-touchscreen head unit. All 1.5L automobiles roll on 15-inch wheels, an inch up on the 1.3L.

On the following rung is the RM53,900 1.5 H, which is the best spec Myvi that these allergic to crimson should purchase. The white instance you see right here has an exterior that’s an identical to the AV, coming with the brand new LED DRLs, gloss black entrance grille, entrance lip, chrome door handles, two-tone aspect skirts, two-tone rear bumper and rear spoiler – this sporty look makes a giant visible distinction.

Inside, the H is the one Myvi variant to get honeycomb sample cloth seats. This spec additionally receives the enlarged touchscreen head unit (USB, Bluetooth, SmartLink, HDMI, voice recognition), built-in toll reader, leather-wrapped steering, chrome door handles, adjustable/removable rear headrests, photo voltaic/safety window movie. Security smart, the H gives six airbags and entrance parking sensors.

Lastly, the RM58,800 AV, which provides on the beforehand talked about AV-exclusive inside bits (crimson leather-based seats, crimson AC rings, red-themed meter panel with TFT MID), reverse digital camera, dashcam and ACC/LKC/BSM/RCTA. If the Ativa AV broke new floor by providing this stage of ADAS at simply above RM70k, right here’s the identical for under RM60k, which is astonishing.

Click on to enlarge spec sheet, worth listing

To recap, the vary begins with the non-ASA 1.3 G at RM45,700. The 1.3 G with ASA/LDW/LDP/AHB is RM2k extra at RM47,700. The 1.5L vary begins with the X at RM49,900, whereas the 1.5 H – which has the AV’s exterior – is priced at RM53,900. The highest canine AV with all of the crimson bells and security whistles is yours for RM58,800. After all, there are GearUp accessories available as nicely, though there’s no bodykit, for now. Try the add-on objects within the gallery under, and in detail here.

Costs are on-the-road excluding insurance coverage and gross sales tax; exemption for the latter has been extended to June 30, 2022. If you happen to take away the discontinued 1.3 MT, the pre-facelift worth vary was from RM43,029 (1.3 G AT) to RM52,697 (AV), which signifies that there’s a worth enhance of some thousand ringgit to associate with the brand new tech/options.
