The New Perodua Myvi, an evolution
to both style and functionality, derived from the top selling Perodua Myvi, has
received about 10,000 orders since bookings was opened on 4th June.
The public can view and test drive the New Myvi at all 178 Perodua sales and
selected service outlets nationwide from tonight.
Introduced in May 2005, the Myvi is the country’s the number 1 selling model
for 5 years running with some 487,400 units sold between May 2005 and May 2011
or an average of 81,200 vehicles per year and nearly 6,800 vehicles per month.
The Myvi has also garnered 11 awards in the same 5-year period, a testimony of
the acceptance by the Malaysian public.
“Following in the footsteps of its predecessor, this new vehicle is the
PEOPLE’S CAR, as it was creatively styled, meticulously engineered, built of
high quality materials and by a highly trained workforce, affordable as well as
offers great value for money to all,” Perodua Chairman Tan Sri Asmat Kamaluddin
said at the launch here tonight.
Perfect for singles, young families and married couples, the New Perodua Myvi
is expected to sell some 8,500 units monthly. The price range for the New
Perodua Myvi is from RM43,900 for the standard manual transmission and RM57,400
for the Elegance automatic transmission on-the-road.
“The new model is more than mere aesthetics, as the new slopes and curves on
the new model enhance the aerodynamics of the car, thereby reducing drag and
this improves fuel consumption,” Perodua Managing Director Datuk Aminar Rashid
said.
He explained that the standard manual transmission for the
New Perodua Myvi has a longer range of 17.5km/l compared with the current Myvi
of 17.1km/l, while the automatic transmission of the New Perodua Myvi has a
range of 14.6km/l against a range of 13.5km/l for the previous model.
The New Perodua Myvi has also enhanced safety features, reduced noise and
vibration, improved interior/ exterior designs as well as functionality from
its predecessor. In short this new model is a new evolution to the existing
Myvi.
Internally, the New Perodua Myvi is more spacious – especially in the automated
transmission variant, where the gear shift lever is mounted on the instrument
panel for greater accessibility and easy control.
The instrument panel design is aesthetically more pleasing when compared with
the current Myvi as improvements have been made to enhance visibility and
sophistication.
In short, Perodua has taken into consideration comments made by our customers
and the public in coming up with this true Malaysian car in tandem with our
brand statement of “Building Cars, People First”.
The New Perodua Myvi comes in 6 variants: Standard, Premium and Elegance in
both automatic as well as manual transmissions.
The new model also comes with a new
colour – Mystical purple and will be available in all variants. Other colours
include Ebony Black, Metallic Grey, Glittering Silver, Pearl White and Ivory
White.
