The Ativa's 1KR-VET (98 PS / 140 Nm)

The first relatively-expensive service is at the 24-month/40,000-km mark, costing RM 423.12. The bump in cost comes from the change in air filter (RM 53.80), brake fluid (RM 28), and coolant (RM 51.60).

Do keep in mind the most expensive service comes at the 84-month/100,000 km interval, costing RM 841.40. The major costs here are new spark plugs (RM 471.90) and CVT fluid (RM 97.50).

And these are the summaries of how much it'll cost to insure and maintain an Ativa over a five-year period - all variants included. 

Anything else I should know?

The Ativa is a rather generously-packed model in Perodua's stable, coming with a long list of safety features as standard.

Is the GearUp kit for you?

Beyond that, it's also the first Perodua model to be based on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform. 

Power comes from a 1.0-litre, turbocharged mill (1KR-VET, 98 PS/140 Nm) that's paired to a Dual-mode CVT (D-CVT) - a combo that's a first for Perodua.
