New Myvi was launced

         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.
