Which begs the question; why isn’t there a Perodua Myvi Style? Also Read: 2022 Perodua Myvi facelift's D-CVT - How much better is it than the 4AT?

Daihatsu will launch a new hybrid-powered compact SUV - most likely a new variant of the Daihatsu Rocky – in Japan later this year, reports Japan’s Nikkei. Sales of the Daihatsu Rocky, which is also sold as the Toyota Raize in Japan (manufactured by Daihatsu under contract), is hampered by the lack of a hybrid variant, which is crucial in Japan and is offered by Daihatsu’s friendly family rival’s Toyota Yaris Cross. Although sales data show that the Daihatsu Rocky/Toyota Raize sells better, the
