The 2022 Perodua Myvi facelift is now officially launched. There are five variants offered, priced from RM 45,700 to RM 58,800 (OTR without insurance and SST). Perodua has collected 4,303 bookings for the facelifted Myvi within a 9-day period since bookings were open. Deliveries begin on 19 November.
The 2022 Perodua Myvi facelift is
available with an automatic transmission only. While prices have crept up
slightly from before, it's worth noting that the equipment levels have also
been raised. As reported earlier, the manual transmission option has been
dropped, while the 4-speed automatic transmission has been replaced by the
newer D-CVT (short for Dual-mode CVT) unit. The engines, however, remain as
before with a 1.3-litre 1NR-VE (95 PS/121 Nm) and a 1.5-litre 2NR-VE (103
PS/137 Nm). With the new transmission, Perodua claims that the facelifted Myvi
has 5 percent lower fuel consumption than before, rated at 22.2 km/litre for
the 1.3-litre variants and 21.1 km/litre for the 1.5-litre variants. Perodua
also claims that the D-CVT has a 20 percent quicker 0-100 km/h sprint time
compared to its 4AT equipped predecessor, with the 1.3-litre managing 11.5
seconds and the 1.5-litre achieving 10.2 seconds.
The 2022 Perodua Myvi facelift gets a new
front fascia with a redesigned front bumper that incorporates DRLs (for 1.5 H
and 1.5 AV) at the sides. The front grille has been enlarged and the headlamps
have been redesigned as well. From the side, it looks largely similar compared
to before, save for the gloss black side mirror caps. The dual-tone 15-inch
wheels are carried over, wrapped with 185/55 R15 profile tyres. Over to the rear, the bumper gets a similar
motif as the front, with vertical slats at the sides that are purely for
cosmetic purpose.
Changes on the inside are more subtle;
there’s a new steering wheel that’s lifted off the Perodua Ativa albeit with
rearranged button configuration, a larger infotainment system (6.9-inch vs
6.2-inch from before) that has the same user interface as the Ativa’s, new
instrument cluster, and revised gear shift pattern. For the range-topping AV
variant, there are red accents around the air vents and on the seats. Speaking
of seats, the materials are new, which means new leather for the AV variant and
new fabrics for the lower rung variants.
For the 1.5-litre variants, there’s a
power mode switch on the steering wheel that sharpens up the powertrain.
Perodua says the power mode "gives you access to the full range of engine
power." There’s also auto folding side mirrors and welcoming light. Standard
across all variants is auto door lock, which is triggered by the brakes or when
the car exceeds 20 km/h. The range-topping AV variant of the 2022 Perodua Myvi
facelift gets an upgraded suite of ADAS, called the Perodua Smart Drive Assist
(PSDA). Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) is now under the umbrella of PSDA. PSDA
comprises of four assist features – the aforementioned ASA, Driving Assist,
Parking Assist, and Headlamp Assist. Perodua says this enables Level 2
semi-autonomous driving. As before, ASA includes Pre-Collision Warning,
Pre-Collision Braking, Front Departure Alert, and Pedal Misoperation Control.
Driving Assist bundles Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keep Control (LKC), and Blind Spot Monitor (BSM). Parking Assist packages front and rear corner sensors, reverse camera, and Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) while Headlamp Assist only includes Auto High Beam (AHB). Lower rung variants (1.3 G, 1.5 X, 1.5 H) get ASA with LDW and LDP, while the entry 1.3 G version does without ADAS.
Six body colours are available on the 2022
Perodua Myvi facelift – Glittering Silver, Ivory White, Granite Grey, Lava Red,
Electric Blue, and the new Cranberry Red that is only available for the AV
variant (switches Lava Red for Cranberry Red).
As usual, an array of Gear Up accessories
are available for the 2022 Perodua Myvi facelift.
