Seems like nobody started on the 2018 Perodua Myvi after searching through the folders . Perodua is going to launch the 2018 myvi (3rd generation)on 16/11/2017 The new car is slated to be vastly improved from its current model ,being outdated in terms of safety and specs. However, the new car is going to rectify all those flaws ,making the wrongs right. The car comes in the usual 1.3 and 1.5L engine guise and the tranny options are just a manual 5 speeder shifter or a dinosaur age 4 speed self shifter(yawn) Features in the 1.3L guise 1.3L Dual VVT-i four cylinder (94bhp/121Nm) 1.3L Standard G (Malaysian spec) Four speed auto or five speed manual LED headlamps (auto on/off, follow me home function) Headlight leveling LED tail lamps with LED light guides Reverse sensors 14 inch alloy wheels Keyless entry and push button ignition 8+1 seat configuration 60 : 40 folding rear seats Side pockets on the front seats (mobile phone usage only) Four airbags ABS, EBD, VSC, Traction Control, Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) Five year or 150,000km warranty 1.3L Premium X (Malaysian spec) Four speed auto only LED headlamps (auto on/off, follow me home function) Headlight leveling LED tail lamps with LED light guides Reverse sensors 14 inch alloy wheels Keyless entry and push button ignition 8+1 seat configuration 60 : 40 folding rear seats Side pockets on the front seats (mobile phone usage only) Four airbags ABS, EBD, VSC, Traction Control, Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) Five year or 150,000km warranty Eco-idle stop/start system Other exterior trim (Unconfirmed) Features in the 1.5L guise 1.5L Dual VVT-i four cylinder (106bhp/140Nm) 1.5L High (Malaysian spec) Four speed auto only LED headlamps (auto on/off, follow me home function) Headlight leveling LED tail lamps with LED light guides Reverse sensors 15 inch dual-tone alloy wheels Keyless entry and push button ignition 8+1 seat configuration 60 : 40 folding rear seats Side pockets on the front seats (mobile phone usage only) ABS, EBD, VSC, Traction Control, Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) Five year or 150,000km warranty Eco-idle stop/start system Other exterior trim (Unconfirmed) Front bodykit and side skirts in a dual-tone finish Two tone rear bumper Rear spoiler Built-in toll reader (Integrated SmartTag) Six airbags 1.5L Advance (Malaysian spec) Four speed auto only LED headlamps (auto on/off, follow me home function) Headlight leveling LED tail lamps with LED light guides Reverse sensors 15 inch dual-tone alloy wheels Keyless entry and push button ignition 8+1 seat configuration 60 : 40 folding rear seats Side pockets on the front seats (mobile phone usage only) ABS, EBD, VSC, Traction Control, Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) Five year or 150,000km warranty Eco-idle stop/start system Other exterior trim (Unconfirmed) Front bodykit and side skirts in a dual-tone finish Two tone rear bumper Rear spoiler Built-in toll reader (Integrated SmartTag) Six airbags Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) Pre-collision warning (PCW) Pre-collision braking (PCB) (Low speed autonomous braking) Front Departure Alert (FDA) Pedal Misoperation Control (PMC) Price in Malaysia ranges from RM 44,300 to RM 55,300 Colours available:Ivory White, Glittering Silver, Mystical Purple and Lava Red,Peppermint Green (1.3 only), Granite Gray(1.5 only) For what I think, this car, if it were to be imported, would be a force to reckoned with as it is so value for money that in the high spec guise, shames the Mitsubishi Space Star other than its brand name. If there is anything to add in after which, I will add in here. Moderators, if you all feel that there should not be a all new Myvi thread for the all new Myvi 2018, please kindly transfer it to an old topic. Thanks.

Wow....less than $10K Singapore dollar? Malaysia really boleh...I don't mind driving one for marketing and simple outing when I retire there.... http://www.peroduaaxia.com/ http://www.mysinchew.com/node/100878 Perodua Axia opens for booking Friday 2014-08-14 13:04 KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 14 (Bernama) -- Axia, Malaysia's first energy-efficient vehicle (EEV) – with a tentative starting price of RM24,900 (for Peninsular Malaysia) - will be open for booking at all Perodua sales outlets from tomorrow, Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) said. In a statement, Perodua said the latest model is its most fuel efficient car that could travel up to 21.6 kilometers per litre, spacious, packed with unique Malaysian features, and boasted an overall low-cost ownership. Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said the deal is the all-in-one package for every Malaysian. "The car will not only be able to fit four travel bags as it has a 260-litre boot capacity but also very flexible to ensure maximum comfort and usage," Aminar said. Slated to be launched soon, the Axia is Perodua's 10th model produced via Perodua's modern and ecologically-friendlier new manufacturing plant. "We believe that the Perodua Axia is competitive in the region, which explained why the word 'Asia' was incorporated into the name," he added. The Perodua Axia comes in four variants, namely Standard E, Standard G, Special Edition and Advance. It also comes with a five-year warranty – another first for Perodua. Booking fees are RM250 and RM300 - depending on the variant. In conjunction with the month of Syawal, Perodua is holding a nationwide open house at all its sales and service outlets on Aug 16 and 17 to usher in the festival and provide more information on the Perodua Axia to the public

Back to the age-old question - Is it easier to park with or without cars around you? In the forum discussion above, many said that it is easier to park with cars around you. Well, I would think otherwise. Watch this clip and find out why: This incident happened at an open-air carpark, located at 877 Tampines Street 84. What happened? The Lalamove driver, who was driving a Renault SUV, was caught on cam reversing into a PARKED AND STATIONARY Perodua. Oh wells. I am guessing the Lalamove driver held onto the notion that parking with cars around you will be easier. After realising he hit the Perodua, the Lalamove driver did not bother to even alight and check on the damage to both cars. Instead, he scooted away and parked at a nearby lot. How did it happen? Honestly, I don't know how an incident like this can even happen. I mean, almost every modern car these days comes equipped with parking sensors and a reverse camera. I am assuming that the Lalamove driver: (1) was using his mobile phone while reversing, or (2) did not bother to check his side mirrors while reversing. It is almost impossible to commit a hit and run in this day and age, especially with every vehicle armed with a dashcam - You will be caught, and the police will find you. Netizens' comments Maybe HDB has to start installing poles, similar to those in driving schools. What a shame. Same. I was looking intently as he attempted to park the 2nd time. Exactly my point. Got so many types of cameras - Dashcam, HDB CCTVs, LTA CCTVs and Police surveillance cameras. How to siam all of them? Update: Both parties have privately settled this incident among themselves. --- Thinking of selling your car? sgCarMart Quotz guarantees the highest selling price for your car.

source: https://paultan.org/2021/02/22/perodua-ativa-suv-1kr-vet-1-0l-3cyl-turbo-deep-dive/ Perodua’s long-awaited compact SUV, the Ativa, is the talk of the town. Based on the attractive Daihatsu Rocky/Toyota Raize and utilising more of its Japanese partner’s technology than ever before, the D55L promises to be the most advanced Perodua ever – marking a new era for the national carmaker. So far, we’ve looked at the specs, name and pricing; here, we’re taking a deep dive into the Ativa’s new engine, the 1KR-VET. Utilising just three cylinders and 1.0 litres in displacement, it will mark Perodua’s first foray into the world of turbocharging, making it bang up to date with the industry trend of downsizing. As the name suggests, the 1KR-VET is part of Toyota’s KR engine family, which also includes the 1KR-VE naturally-aspirated mill found in the Bezza and Axia. The lineup shares the same aluminium block, cylinder count and 71 mm cylinder bore, but the unit in the Ativa will have a scant 0.1 mm shorter piston stroke than the rest at 83.9 mm. This knocks two cubic centimetres off the displacement, dropping it down to 996 cc. The engine’s stroke has likely been shortened to reduce the compression ratio, which has fallen from 11.5:1 on the Bezza and Axia to 9.5:1. This facilitates the addition of the already-compressed air from the turbo, which would otherwise cause knocking. As is typical for a simple turbo engine, the Ativa will feature a single-scroll turbocharger and a front-mounted intercooler. To keep costs down, it will get regular multi-point injection rather than the more expensive direct injection technology; it will also retain the Bezza/Axia’s variable intake valve timing, double overhead cams, timing chain and four valves per cylinder (12 in total). Naturally, with a turbo in place, the 1KR-VET is significantly more muscular than the 1KR-VE, with outputs of 98 PS at 6,000 rpm and 140 Nm of torque from 2,400 to 4,000 rpm. Against the Bezza and Axia, the Ativa will have an advantage of 30 PS and nearly 50 Nm, which is not to be sniffed at. Those figures are also not a world away from the Nissan Almera, which has a similar 1.0 litre turbo triple and CVT configuration. To enhance the sensation of speed, the Rocky and Raize get a Power button on the steering wheel, which remaps the engine and gearbox for quicker throttle response; it’s unclear, however, if the Perodua version will come with the same function. But the turbo isn’t just good for power – Perodua is claiming an impressive fuel consumption figure 18.9 km per litre for the Ativa. That’s even better than the Daihatsu and Toyota’s 18.6 km per litre with front-wheel drive, although that number was achieved on the stricter WLTP cycle. The downsized engine and stepless transmission go some way towards improving efficiency, but the Rocky and Raize also benefit from a start-stop system. The Bezza and Myvi already come with this feature, but the one in the Daihatsu and Toyota has been improved slightly, switching the engine off when decelerating from 9 km/h (up from 7 km/h). Looking at the technologies, output figures and efficiency numbers on offer, we’re pretty sure most of you can’t wait to try out the Ativa for yourselves (and we can’t, either!). But what do you think – is turbocharging the right path for Perodua, or would you have preferred it to stick with a more conventional naturally-aspirated engine? Sound off in the comments after the jump.

totally should read MAHATHIR want to manufact supercars instead of msia... ISTANBUL — Malaysian Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad has pictured the possibility of Malaysia producing "super cars" in order to further enhance the capability of the nation’s automotive industry. Dr Mahathir said Turkish supercar producer Onuk had indicated willingness to cooperate with Malaysia to produce the exotic vehicle. Dr Mahathir said he had long been aware of Turkish companies’ capability but only now he could see it first-hand. “I was aware of their capability. But there was no follow-up at the time as I was not the prime minister then, so making progress would have been difficult. “And now they are ready to collaborate... not only with that type of car (super car) but also with other cars,’’ he said . Dr Mahathir was speaking to Malaysian reporters at the end of his official visit to Turkey at the Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen International Airport (ISGIA) on Sunday (July 28). The Onuk Sazan and Onuk S56/G super car models areexhibited at ISGIA and Dr Mahathir took the opportunity to check them out before he left for home. On Friday, Dr Mahathir had a dialogue session with Turkish captains of industry, and offered them Malaysian expertise to produce their own national car based on the success garnered by Proton and Perodua. Meanwhile, Dr Mahathir praised Malaysia Airports Holdings Bhd's (MAHB) success in managing (ISGIA) Turkey’s second largest airport — showing Malaysian companies’ capabilities as well as their ability to expand their operations abroad. He said that although MAHB operates airports in several other countries, ISGIA — which the company wholly owns — is the largest, handling 34 million passengers annually. “It’s much larger than KLIA (Kuala lumpur International Airport), and its management is something special. There are people who recognise our capability in this field and give us a lot of opportunities," said Dr Mahathir. On Friday, Dr Mahathir visited ISGIA, which was taken over entirely by MAHB in 2014, and witnessed its operations. Opened in January 2001, the airport is the second busiest in Turkey and the world’s busiest single-runway airport and terminal. Located some 45 km from Istanbul, it recorded 16.7 million passenger traffic movements as of June this year over first half of 2019, up 3.4 per cent over the same period last yeaar. In 2018, it posted 34.1 million passenger traffic movements and revenue of RM1.15 billion (S$382 million). NEW STRAITS TIMES

For a budget daily driver, is Proton or Perodua better? Interested criteria would be running costs, maintenance and overall reliability. Is there any unspoken consensus here or across the causeway which brand is preferred? Also, Proton is no longer selling in Singapore?

More than 50 MyCarForum (MCF) members and Perodua guests, together with their partners and family, gathered at the Perodua showroom in Ubi on Saturday for another MCF Hangout with Perodua, and got up close and personal with the all new Perodua Myvi hatchback. With a wide-ranging crowd consisting of older adults, young families and even excited children, guests were eager to check out and learn more about the latest model from the Malaysian manufacturer. sgCarMart Editorial Team member Idris Talib also shared with the guests his experience driving the new Myvi, which he says "will appeal to buyers looking for a cheerful car on a budget, thanks to its generous space and perky drive". Along with test driving the new 1.3-litre and 1.5-litre Perodua Myvi, guests were also treated to an extensive buffet spread, as well a variety of games and activities to spice up the day. In addition, there were attractive shopping vouchers to be won as well. Getting a closer look at the first car from the Malaysian carmarker that is almost completely engineered in-house! Despite being a compact hatchback, the Myvi offers generous room all around. Guests excitedly head out on their test drives! And of course, what's an MCF Hangout without a sumptous meal to fill the tummies?

While double parking is a common sight in Malaysia, we are glad it is not a common practice in Singapore. Watch this Nissan Navara driver take matters into his own hands as he gets sick of waiting for the Perodua Myvi's owner to get his car out of the way. With at least 356Nm of twisting force and a towing capacity of 3 tonnes, it easily pushes the poor little hatchback out of its way and leaves it in the middle of the road. The full-time score? Nissan Navara 1, Perodua Myvi 0. http://dai.ly/x20kube_malaysia-double-parking-omg-old-klang-road-don-t-double-park-1_auto

What I like about Motor Shows are concept cars. In fact, if a motor show is devoid of concept cars it would feel as if the event is lacking something. It feels like having fish & chips without the tartar sauce or having a hot dog without relish, and mustard. So when the Kuala Lumpur Motor Show 2010 (KLIMS) had on display a whole lot of concept cars, it felt like a proper motor show. Of course, not all look like the Lotus Esprit concept pictured above These are the Good, the So-so and the Really Horrid. The Good Perodua - The Bezza, a very Toyota-esque concept car. Not surprised if it actually is a Toyota/Daihatsu with the badging changed. If it isn't, Perodua in-house design division has improved tremendously. Toyota

Nowadays car ownership in Singapore has gotten a little more expensive due to the Certificate Of Entitlement (COE) fee moving slightly upwards. Those that wanted a S$60,000 car may find that it costs S$70,000. Add this fact with rising ERP charges, the parking charges and an economy that is still reeling from a global meltdown the total cost of owning a car has risen. Some would walk, take public transport but to those who still yearn to own their personal set of transport would still browse through car magazines, internet motoring portals (like this one) and push their faces into the glass in front of a car showroom. Drooling at that car that they could afford a few months ago but cannot afford it with the jump in car prices. But of course this occasionally happens. So those that remember or those that keep track of COE fluctuations just say that it is a fact of life in the Lion City. But to those that need a car to purchase in the near future, the increase in price would have to be overcome regardless of the price hike. So what are your options then? You buy the cheapest car in the market. This may mean that you end up buying a car that is made in China. This is actually a bad thing in my opinion. The reason is that the cars are really what they are. Cheap cars. I recently sat in a Chana (one of those million or so Made in China brands around) and I have to say that the plastics were all hard, switches have the tactile feel of something from the mid80s, the fittings are slightly crude and it looks unbalanced with a large body on caster wheels. So its not worth it to rush out and go crazy about owning one. Of course a Chery sports (or coupe as Chery says) hatch looks its part but it ain't there yet. Now it has a small 1.6liter engine, with a heavy 1300kg body to move. This actually does nothing to help fuel economy and handling. You get a 'coupe' that isn't fast too. And add the fact that you want something cheap but actually isn't in the long run it would be a bad purchase. Unless you just buy it for the looks that is. So you now jump to a Malaysian car. You look at a Proton Saga. I suggest you don't look at a Saga. It looks dumpy with its funny proportions and high roof line for a sedan. While it is cheap, spacious for its price you need a bit of looks to at least feel good about yourself when you're driving it. And if you're driving it you have to look at that drab looking hard plastic dashboard and steering wheel. You also have to sit on seats that are flatter than the runway at Seletar airport. What you do need to consider in the budget car range is a Perodua Myvi. Of course it has been around for a while and that its cousins the Toyota Passo and the Daihatsu Sirion/Boon has recently been upgraded in Japan. And the point that it is a cousin of the Passo and the Sirion means that it is actually a Japanese car built in a factory in Rawang, Malaysia. This is a good thing. You get the same people in charge of quality handing down the operating procedure on how a car should be made. The fittings in a Myvi is pretty good and panel gaps are decent too. The quality of the dashboard (slightly redesigned from the Passo), while slightly thin to the touch is surprisingly good. The switchgear feels tactile (for its price) and everything is within reach. As you get into a Myvi you find that it has a high hip point. This means that you just step in and out of the car with ease. The doors are big and open wide, the hatch is easy to use and rear seats fold down making space for you to go shopping at IKEA and load up those large items. Oh yeah. The dash looks good when its lighted up at night. When you look at the design of the Myvi you find that it has more rounded front and rear bumpers that actually make it look less chunky than the Passo or the Sirion. It looks better in my opinion. In fact the Myvi looks like the newer generation of the cars mentioned due to this so if you buy one it is still contemporary looking. As for ride and handling, it is pretty good. The car is naturally light (sub 1000kg) and this shows in its nippy handling. Don't treat it like a Honda Civic Type R though, as it isn't. It would understeer early due to its 175/65/14 sized tires and that slightly too tall body (somehow all new hatchbacks seem to be a little MPV like). But it is nimble and easy to maneuver on city streets. However hustle it around corners and you will find out that the seats are flat and you have to hold on to the steering wheel for dear life. Do not put leather or those P.U seat covers as this would make it worse. The 1.3liter engine it comes with has 85bhp or so and it adequate to get you places. Crusing at 110-120km/h is very possible and still economical. The brakes are on the spongy side and lacks feel but does its job. This is the only real gripe I have with the Myvi as I do a lot of highway driving and it isn't that confidence inspiring for me. But it would do okay for a city car. I think the Perodua Myvi is worth the purchase as you get Japanese engineering, good build quality (if not fantastic material quality), reliability and unlike the other cars mentioned above, it feels more sorted out. It is a cut price Toyota or a cut price Daihatsu. And this is a good thing if you want something cheap and something decent to own for the next 5 years. Just don't listen to that guy called Clarkson in that BBC TV program where he rants and complains about the Myvi. That guy does not have to suffer with COE and ERP like you do.

It's a rebadge Toyota Passo Sette/Daihatsu Boon Luminas with minor changes done by Perodua.Changes include ala 370Z headlight,Front grille,Rims,steering wheels and bumpers.Production already start at Malaysia plant.There are two version ie the basic and premium.Basic features are fabric seats,Steel rims.Premium include GPS/DVD/Alloy rims,Leather seats,cruise control.ABS/EBD and airbags are standard on both variants.Price are expected around RM58K for basic version while 64K for premium.To be frank its quite cramped to be 7 seater,6 seater(2t2t2).Expect Exora to slashed out next year http://www.autoincar.com/wp-content/upload...n-luminas-2.jpg

Hi WBucket & Kelisa owners, How is the fuel consumption for your car and is the 3 cylinder engine noisy? My friend is keen in geting one. By the way, the 1l manual is selling for only RM33K in M'sia, or S$14.4K!!!
