You read that right – it’s actually cheaper to maintain the new 2022 Perodua Myvi over a 5-year period compared to the model it replaces.

Let’s take a closer look and see how much owners of the new Perodua Myvi are expected to pay in terms of maintenance over a 5-year / 100,000-km period.

Over a 5-year / 100,000-km period, it costs RM 2,944 to maintain the new 2022 Myvi, while it costs RM 3,000 to maintain the pre-facelift Myvi over the same period.

At the same time, it is worth mentioning that Perodua has lowered the maintenance cost of the Myvi, compared to a year ago.

Last year, it used to cost RM 3,149 to maintain the non-CVT Myvi, but that figure has dropped to RM 3,000 (as of November 2021).

Crucially, both variants of the Myvi are much cheaper to maintain than the 2022 Proton Iriz.

Whereas the 4AT Myvi needs its Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) to be replaced at every 40,000 km interval, the new CVT-equipped Myvi requires a CVT fluid change at every 100,000 km interval instead.

As for tyre costs, the table below illustrates the cost to replace the 14- and 15-inch tyres of the Myvi.

Then there's the cost of replacing the battery in the Myvi. The non-CVT Myvi variants get either a 34B19L battery (for models without auto start/stop, or as Perodua calls it, Eco Idle) or a M42 unit (with auto start/stop). As for the new Myvi, it uses a different M42R battery across the range. 

Keep in mind that these prices do not include the optional items that the service centre offers.
