Last week, Perodua opened bookings for the new 2022 Perodua Myvi facelift and thus began Perodua's tease of its popular B-segment hatchback. 

Barring its new CVT transmission, the teasers also mentioned that the new Myvi will be getting the Perodua Smart Drive Assist (PSDA) ADAS suite.

In short, PSDA is comprehensive ADAS suite and is a massive step-up from the outgoing Myvi’s ASA suite, the latter is merely an enhanced autonomous emergency braking (AEB) suite.

So, what’s new with PSDA?

Perodua Smart Drive Assist (PSDA) is akin to the Honda Sensing and Toyota Safety Sense ADAS suite, bundling a host of safety features.

PSDA comprises of four assist features – Advanced Safety Assist (ASA), Driving Assist, Parking Assist, and Headlamp Assist. Yes, ASA is now part of PSDA.

As before, ASA is made out of four key features, namely Pre-Collision Warning, Pre-Collision Braking, Front Departure Alert, and Pedal Misoperation Control.

In the case of Perodua’s current flagship model, the Ativa, it gets all the bells and whistles, including Driving Assist (Lane Departure Warning, Lane Departure Prevention, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Control, Blind Spot Monitor), Parking Assist (Front and rear corner sensors, reverse camera, Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA), and Headlamp Assist (Auto High Beam or Adaptive Driving Beam).

Auto High Beam (AHB) is found on the base Ativa X variant, while the H and AV variants get the more sophisticated Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) instead.

As for the forthcoming Myvi facelift, Perodua has yet to confirm what features it will get, but a teaser shot showing the steering wheel may shed some light.

In that shot, the buttons clearly indicate that the Myvi, at least in the variant pictured, will get Lane Keep Control (LKC) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).

That said, it remains to be seen (for now), which other PSDA features will the new Myvi facelift be getting. Could it get Adaptive Driving Beam (ADB) just like the Ativa, or will it get the simpler Auto High Beam (AHB) instead?
