The third generation
2017 Perodua Myvi is in the works which will go into
trial production this July. Perodua is co-developing the third generation
Perodua Myvi (codename: Perodua D20N) with Daihatsu.
While
retaining the shape and proportions, the new Myvi could have a unique front-end
influenced by the company’s new design language seen on the Perodua Bezza.
Inside, the next
Myvi could have a different dashboard and steering wheel, as well as some
market-specific changes, like a touchscreen infotainment system borrowed from
other Perodua models for instance. Perodua will likely swap the current model’s
K3-VE 1.3-litre DVVT and 3SZ-VE 1.5-litre DVVT engines with the 1KR-VE
1.0-litre VVT-i and 1NR-VE 1.3-litre Dual VVT-i engines of the Bezza.
Transmission choices should include 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic. The
redesigned model will have a plastic fuel tank – a first for a Perodua, which
will make the car lighter and more efficient.
Keyless entry with
push-start button, 60:40 split rear seats, touchscreen infotainment system with
navigation, reverse camera, parking sensors, dual-front airbags, ABS with EBD
and BA, VSC, TRC and HSA are some of the key features expected in the 2017
Perodua Myvi.
