What you see here is not the next generation fully electric Perodua Myvi, but a working prototype showing the first iteration (emo-1) of Perodua’s upcoming battery electric vehicle (BEV). There will be at least three more iterations (culminating with emo-4), each better than the last, building up to an eventual series production model that will be launched by the end of 2025. Like the current generation Perodua Myvi, this Perodua emo-1 concept is developed independently by Perodua and is not bas

The Perodua Myvi is truly a Malaysian folk hero. Its popularity here could not be repeated in the few markets overseas where it is sold. That includes our neighbouring countries, including Indonesia. Sold as the Daihatsu Sirion, it and the Daihatsu Luxio (a passenger version of the Daihatsu Gran Max) are always ranked as Daihatsu’s poorest-selling models in the archipelago.

However, they aren’t exactly equal – one rides better than the other, uses less fuel, and doesn’t vibrate as much. But which one is the better of the two? Well, to f
