Within a 9-day period since the new Perodua Myvi facelift was unveiled, Perodua has received more than four thousand bookings for their popular hatchback. Five variants are on offer, priced from RM45,700 to RM58,800.

Though prices have increased from the pre-facelift models, equipment levels have followed along and are similarly raised.

New Perodua Myvi facelift for 2022 – the engine

The new 2022 Perodua Myvi facelift is available with a D-CVT (short for Dual-mode CVT) only, which replaces the manual transmission and the 4-speed automatic transmission. This transmission is paired to the same engines, the 1.3-litre 1NR-VE (95 PS/121 Nm) and 1.5-litre 2NR-VE (103 PS/137 Nm).

Perodua claims 5% lower fuel consumption with this new D-CVT, and official fuel consumption figures are 22.2 km/litre (4.5 l/100km) for the 1.3-litre engine and 21.1 km/litre (4.7 l/100km) for the 1.5-litre.

This is despite more expedient century sprint times of 11.5 seconds and 10.2 seconds for the 1.3-litre and 1.5-litre powerplants, which is 20% quicker than the pre-facelift model.

PSDA has four features: ASA, Driving Assist, Parking Assist, and Headlamp Assist. According to Perodua, this means the new 2022 facelift Perodua Myvi has Level 2 semi-autonomous driving.

Just like before, ASA consists of Pre-Collision Warning, Pre-Collision Braking, Front Departure Alert, and Pedal Misoperation Control, while Driving Assist has Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Departure Prevention (LDP), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Keep Control (LKC), and Blind Spot Monitor (BSM).
