In typical WapCar fashion, we walk and chew gum at the same time, and as Adrian piles the miles on the facelifted 2022 Perodua Myvi on its media drive event (happening now in Johor Bahru), we'll bring you some findings right from the driver's seat.
In this edition, we'll share with you the CVT-equipped Myvi's cabin noise ratings.
How quiet is it?

Though its slightly louder during idle, our instrumented tests reveal that the Myvi is just as quiet as the Perodua Ativa on the road. Here's the results in full:
2022 Perodua Myvi CVT 1.5 AV - Cabin noise |
0 km/h (AC off) |
45 dB |
0 km/h (AC on) |
49 dB |
60 km/h (AC on) |
60 dB |
90 km/h (AC on) |
68 dB |
110 km/h (AC on) |
70 dB |
For the price point (RM 58,800 for the Myvi 1.5 AV CVT as tested), these numbers are more than acceptable.

Part of that can be attributed to the improvements under the hood, with the powertrain being notably quieter and refined compared to the pre-facelift Myvi, resulting in less engine noise while cruising.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Myvi as we have it.
