History of MYVi

Daihatsu Motor Co., Ltd. ('Daihatsu') and Perodua, Daihatsu's joint venture corporate group in Malaysia, today announced the launch of the Myvi that is being added to the current lineup. On the evening of May 25, Daihatsu and Perodua held a launching event for the Myvi in Kuala Lumpur, with Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak and Daihatsu President Takaya Yamada attending.

The Myvi was developed jointly by Perodua and Daihatsu on the platform of the Daihatsu Boon, a compact car sold in Japan, with significant changes made to both the interior and exterior designs to adapt to the Malaysian taste. With prices ranging from 41,200 Malaysian Ringgits (1.14 million yen) to 51,300 Malaysian Ringgits (1.42 million yen), the Myvi is positioned as the top-of-the-line model from Perodua.

The Myvi's main features include:
1. A stylish, specially designed exterior that expresses dynamism;
2. LED tail and stop lamps and door mirrors with turn signals —both firsts in this category— to create a sophisticated impression;
3. An instrument panel designed exclusively for the Myvi to add a classy feel to this model;
4. A split rear seat that permits free arrangement of the cabin and luggage compartments according to the number of occupants and the volume of luggage;
5. A high-performance 1.3-litre engine with DVVT (Dynamic Variable Valve Timing) that combines high power with low fuel consumption;
6. A crash safety body designed to protect the occupants from head-on, side-on and rear-on collisions while also minimising injury to pedestrians; and
7. Advanced safety features including dual SRS airbags and ABS for the upper grades 1.3SXi and 1.3EZi.

Perodua is Malaysia's second largest automobile manufacturing group. Having expanded its lineup since the launch of the Kancil (based on the Mira) in August 1994, Perodua had a 25% share in the Malaysian market in 2004. Daihatsu has made three of Perodua's manufacturing companies into its subsidiaries and is proceeding to strengthen the competitiveness of the group including its suppliers in terms of cost and quality.
Since last year, Perodua has also been assembling the Toyota Avanza, playing an important role as a manufacturing arm in the Toyota group.

About Perodua:
Perodua is the brand name of the 2nd national car in Malaysia. The name was devised by taking the underlined parts of the holding company's name, Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn. Bhd. Daihatsu is the parent company of the group's three manufacturing-related companies: Perodua Auto Corporation Sdn. Bhd., the manufacturing-related holding company; Perodua Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd., an automobile manufacturer; and Perodua Engine Manufacturing Sdn. Bhd., an engine manufacturer.

Myvi:
A coinage taken from 'My Vehicle', 'My Vision' and 'Malaysian Vision', the Myvi is meant to be a car that provides its users with driving enjoyment and gives them a sense of pride in owning it.

MYVi convert TURBO & Bodykit

You’ve got a Perodua Myvi. You got fire-hot looks. Even hotter if you have lips, skirtings and nice sports rims slapped on. Now you got to give the car a motor worthy of it’s fire-hot looks!

The premium model Perodua Myvi comes with a 1.3 DVVT DOHC engine designated the K3-VE. This same engine is used in most 1.3 Daihatsus like the Daihatsu YRV, and of course the Toyota Avanza and the Perodua Kembara DVVT
To make the Daihatsu YRV go even faster, Daihatsu added a turbocharger with an intercooler to it’s already powerful K3-VE engine. This makes the engine have one of the highest output and torque for an engine of it’s class. The turbocharger kicks in from low-boost RPMs to provide excellent driveability. The DVVT mechanism continuously adjusts the valve timing according to engine speed.

This makes the K3-VET a formidable performance engine. You can enjoy thrilling power at high-end RPMs and hard weight-pulling torque at low RPM
A K3-VET in a Perodua Myvi will be FAST! The Myvi is only 953kg, and the K3-VET puts out 140ps. That’s some crazy power-to-weight ratio. The downside is YRV half-cuts only come in 4-speed automatic. Manual fanboys will have to find some other alternative.

Adding a turbocharger with intercooler to Daihatsu's powerful 1,300-cc K3-VE engine helped to achieve the highest output and torque of any engine in this displacement class. The turbocharger kicks in from low rpms. The DVVT (Dynamic Variable Valve Timing) system continuously adjusts the valve timing according to driving conditions. These technologies team up to give the K3-VET engine thrilling power at high rpms and hard-working torque at low and mid rpms. The result is a satisfying drive and an easy-to-handle engine at all speeds.

170 Nm/2800 rpm (YRV Turbo)

K3-VE
1,298-cc, water-cooled, 4-cylinder, 4-cycle, 16-valve, DOHC, DVVT petrol engine
This new-generation 1,300-cc engine is the fruit of Daihatsu's efforts to develop ultra-lightweight engines that offer ultra-low fuel consumption and ultra-low emissions. The DVVT (Dynamic Variable Valve Timing) system, which continuously adjusts the valve timing according to driving conditions, helps the K3-VE achieve outstanding intake efficiency and exhaust performance. The result is an engine that combines high output and torque with exceptionally low fuel consumption and exhaust emissions.
75 kW/7000 rpm
120 Nm/4400 rpm (Sirion)

MYVi Fuel Consumption

I have the original recipe Myvi. I fill RM60 a week (extensive traveling, usually lasts more than a week hehe)..thats about 31.25L and have to refill again after about 400km travel. thats about 12.8km per liter. fuel is RM1.92 per liter so its about RM0.15 per km.

i'm just counting roughly. correct me if i'm wrong.

how fuel economy it is? for the price, i think its good, better than other local cars.

Myvi Review

Here's my review.....

The Perodua Myvi is, on the quiet, one of the smarter used car buys around. It's based on the Daihatsu Sirion, a car that has attracted some seriously good reviews. Strip away the Daihatsu brand equity and you're left with a car with the same talents but which has no real public awareness and which can be picked up for a fraction of the price of an equivalent Sirion. If you're looking for a modern city car and don't want to get taken to the cleaners by the big car manufacturers, here's an alternative.

PERODUA REWRITES THE BOOK OF REVELATIONS

Think Perodua and you'll probably think of rather crude, outdated cars that are cheap to buy but come with a sting in the tail in the form of fierce depreciation. That used to be the case but the Malaysian company appears to be turning things around, the Myvi being the first of their wares to approach European standards of design and modernity. With most used car buyers not cottoning onto this fact, this makes it a smart pick second time round.
Perodua Myvi Road Test

Turn the key and the surprises keep coming. The ride is excellent. The way the suspension soaks up minor imperfections coupled with the nicely oiled feel of the steering system gives the Myvi an expensive feel. I'd go as far as to stick my neck out and say it rides more serenely than an Audi A4. The 1.3-litre engine features Dynamic Variable Valve Timing which helps to maximise both low end torque and top end power while keeping combustion as efficient as possible. Double overhead cams and electronic fuel injection also help to give the Perodua a little pep although it's unlikely you'd plump for the Myvi if you're looking for the sharpest steer in this sector. The gearbox doesn't appreciate being rushed into reverse gear but aside from that, the report card is favourable. The steering rack is adequately quick, front end grip is up to snuff and engine refinement is very good. All round visibility and access to the rear seats is also excellent.

Buying a Perodua Myvi


This car will in all likelihood have spent some time transporting children, so check the cabin for rips, stains and other damage wreaked by small hands. The Myvi was designed for city driving, so check the exterior for knocks and scrapes, and check under the bonnet for accident damage or paint overspray. With 6000-mile service intervals, they also need a little more TLC than many more modern designs. Otherwise, the usual reminder to obtain a service history applies.
