Perodua Myvi: Тарихы мен жетістіктері

The name "Myvi" is derived from "My Vehicle," "My Vision" and "Malaysian Vision." TOC

The first generation Myvi was unveiled and launched on 25 May 2005, being the first B segment hatchback Perodua ever produced and heavily based on the first generation Daihatsu Boon/Sirion. Previously, Perodua mainly produces A segment cars based on Daihatsu kei cars. The company intended it to be a niche model in a sedan dominated mainstream market at that time. Perodua expected the Myvi to sell 4,000 Myvis monthly. By August 2005, Perodua had received 52,000 bookings which were around 10 percent of the annual automobile sales in Malaysia, while Perodua was only able to deliver about 10,000 cars up to the date. By the second half of 2006, orders have been averaging 7,000 units a month.

The Myvi was made available in five trim levels: 1.0SR (five speed manual), 1.3SX (five speed manual), 1.3EZ (four speed auto), 1.3SXi (five speed manual) and 1.3EZi "Premium" (four speed auto). Also made available was a Myvi "Special Edition" featuring a body kit encompassing modified bumpers, side skirts and a spoiler. The Myvi was also made available with dual airbags and ABS.

The Myvi boasts either one of two water cooled, four stroke engines derived from the first generation Daihatsu Sirion: A 1.0 litre EJ VE I3, or a 1.3 litre K3 VE I4 engine; with both engines employing Dynamic Variable Valve Timing (DVVT) systems and conventional electronic fuel injection (EFI). Perodua's Serendah plant built both engines locally. A "Limited Edition" of the Perodua Myvi also launched in July 2010, based on the standard 1.3 automatic variants. It had a unique colour called Dazzling Red. The LE has new trim colour, fabric and interior door handles, an "LE" carpet mat, and decorative cubic printing on both the centre cluster and the door trim armrests. There are also dual airbags for the people at the front. The radio has USB and Bluetooth connectivity. On the outside, Perodua has fitted the Myvi LE with smoked clear rear combination lamps (straight from the Myvi SE), "LE" badging and side door mouldings.

The launch of the Perodua Myvi was significant as it marked the first time Perodua competed head to head with Proton, the first Malaysian national carmaker, which would release a similarly classed Proton Savvy. The Myvi 1.3 beat its rival, the Proton Savvy 1.2, as the "Car of the Year 2005/2006" by Autocar ASEAN, a magazine for car buyers in Malaysia. The Edge Daily, a local financial news media, reported that Myvi sales have far surpassed its initial expectations and has been selling exceptionally well since its rollout in April. Proton's Savvy, available to the market a few months after the launch of the Myvi, had not affected Myvi sales. Observing the strong demand for the Myvi, it boosted sales of vehicles in the country and Perodua's market share in 2006.

The first generation Perodua Myvi was exported to Indonesia and rebadged as the Daihatsu Sirion since April 2007.

Developed under D54T project, the 2011 Myvi was launched on 16 June 2011 with a tagline of Lagi Best (contextually, Lagi means more in Malay) for 1.3 version and later for 1.5 version with tagline hidup myvi. In April 2014, Perodua launched base Myvi XT model which replace the 1.3 standard. It added equipment at no extra cost.

Both 1.3 litre K3 VE and 1.5 litre 3SZ VE engines are fitted with DVVT and EFI. Despite the fact that the 1.3 litre is a carry over from the previous generation Myvi, Perodua reported an increase of 10 hp for the new model. The increase was attributed to the new electric power steering (EPS) system. Additionally, the 1.5 litre 3SZ VE engine, which also powers the Alza, is imported from the Daihatsu engine plant in Karawang, Indonesia. Since April 2016, Perodua's official distributor in Brunei, GHK Motors Sdn Bhd launched the facelifted 2nd generation Myvi in 1.5 SE variant only, which replaced the previous Japanese built 1st and 2nd generation Daihatsu Sirion (based on the Storia and Boon). The car was featured with either 4 speed automatic or 5 speed manual transmission options.

A third generation of the Perodua Myvi had been rumored to come in the late 2017/early 2018. On 8 November 2017, Perodua announced that bookings for the 2018 Perodua Myvi have been opened. The third generation Perodua Myvi mades it public debut at the Malaysia Autoshow at MAEPS in Serdang from 9–12 November 2017. Although during this time, the car was parked in a box that featured multiple cut outs only allowing for sneak peeks. The third generation Perodua Myvi was launched on 16 November 2017. It was developed under D20N project. This generation of Myvi is entirely designed in house by Perodua's own design and styling division led by Muhamad Zamuren Musa, who also designed the Perodua Bezza, without rebadging the third generation of Daihatsu Boon. It is a totally brand new car in which Toyota and Daihatsu only provide advice and engines to Perodua in developing the new Myvi.

In July 2020, the Perodua Myvi received minor updates. Updates include enhanced safety features and revised colour choices. ASA 2.0 was added and made available as standard on all 1.5 variants and optional on the 1.3 Premium X variant. Granite Grey which was previously exclusive to 1.5 variants was also made available on 1.3 Premium X variant.

The engines provided for the Myvi were modified by Perodua to improve fuel efficiency and acquire the Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) standard as with the Axia and Bezza. Two engines are available:

1NR VE engine with a displacement of 1,329 cc (1.3 litre) that produces 70 kW at 6000 rpm and 121 Nm at 4000 rpm. 2NR VE engine with a displacement of 1,496 cc (1.5 litre) that produces 76 kW at 6000 rpm and 136 Nm at 4200 rpm. Both engines have double overhead camshaft and dual variable valve timing branded as Dual VVT i. The 1.3 litre engine can be had with either a 5 speed manual or 4 speed automatic. Unlike the previous generation Myvi, the 1.5 litre engine can be had with only a 4 speed automatic.

The facelifted third generation Myvi was launched on 18 November 2021. The Perodua Smart Drive Assist (PSDA), also known as ASA 3.0, replaces the ASA 2.0 in the outgoing pre facelift Myvi and it is standard on all variants except for the base 1.3 G, which is optional. There are 5 variants on offer. The 1.3 litre engine option now consists of only 2 variants, the base G and G with PSDA, while the 1.5 litre engine option now consists of the X, H and AV variants. The 4 speed automatic that has been in use since the first generation Myvi has been replaced by a D CVT that is also found in the Perodua Ativa. The D CVT is the only transmission option. The 5 speed manual transmission that was previously offered only on 1.3 litre variants was dropped due to low sales of only 1 percent. The range topping AV variant gets new features including adaptive cruise control, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and lane departure warning with lane departure prevention.

The third generation Myvi was launched in Indonesia in February 2018 as the Daihatsu Sirion, Singapore in April 2019, Mauritius in August 2019 and Brunei in July 2020. In Indonesia, the third generation Myvi is sold as the Daihatsu Sirion. The Indonesian specifications closely matches the Premium X variant available in the Myvi's domestic market apart from having 2 transmission options, the use of larger 15" alloy wheels from the domestic market 1.5 Myvi's on the outside and a touchscreen headunit on the inside. It was updated in March 2020 with revision to the exterior. Granite Grey and Electric Blue color option was made available and the automatic variant gained the cosmetic enhancements from the domestic market 1.5 Myvi's. It received a facelift on 2 June 2022 with two variants: 1.3 X and 1.3 R, both with CVT.

It has been confirmed that the additions seen on the S Edition are done by Perodua's Brunei official distributor GHK Motors and not Perodua themselves. The facelift Myvi was not introduced in the Bruneian market upon its discontinuation in May 2023 due to very slow sales.

Perodua Myvi is promoted as the best selling car in Malaysia for 12 years out of 16 years since 2006. The current highest sales record is during 2021 with 47,525 units sold.
