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.

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.
