Perodua Myvi Facelift coming soon?

Perodua Myvi Facelift

These photos show what seems to be a white Perodua Myvi SE with an all-new bodykit. The new look seems more feminine rather than the current Myvi’s unisex look (like the Suzuki Swift’s sister?), but this could just be an effect of the angle of the photo.

There also seems to be new colours for the Myvi, including yellow for the SE and two new colours for the standard Myvi – a lighter shade of orange and a new light blue shade. The new pastel-like colours look quite refreshing, and is a good addition to the range as I think we are all bored of the endless almost monotonous amounts of Myvis on our roads now, thanks to the car’s success.

On the interior, we can see that certain models have had their integrated stereo system replaced with a 2-DIN slot, filled with a 2-DIN player that is likely MP3 capable as a USB slot for thumbdrives or other USB-capable MP3 players can be seen.

There is also a shot of a dashboard which shows a new design for the meter cluster.

It’s about time for a mid-life facelift of the Perodua Myvi anyway, since it has been 3 years since the B-segment Perodua was launched in 2005. This means that a facelift for the Indonesian Daihatsu Sirion is on the way as well, as the Indonesian car is built by Perodua, uses Myvi styling and is brought in from Malaysia.

As promised, here are more photos of the Perodua Myvi for your viewing pleasure. These are shots of the interior, which looks alot like the original Toyota Passo/Daihatsu Boon version.

The dashboard looks pretty standard Perodua stuff to me. There’s a glove box unlike some other car manufacturers who decided to omit such a feature from it’s latest car. I can’t wait to see shots of the dashboard at night. Supposed it’ll be something like Toyota’s Optitron displays. Those really look good. The 1.0 model’s dashboard meters are amber and the 1.3 models are white.

Here we can see what appears to be an integrated CD player interface like the Proton Gen2. Some people have fitted aftermarket CD players to the Gen2 using some form of adapter so that the hole can fit a double DIN CD player properly. Hopefully there will be such products for the Myvi too. There are two cupholders next to the gear shift lever.

There’s something wrong with the interior colour matching too. Usually people go for dual-tone colours, but apparently there’s three colours in this car. Some kind of cream/beige, dark grey and light grey. Not to forget silver for the CD player area.

The pedals look really cheap. But there’s electronic window control.

This doesn’t give you much details on how much boot capacity the Myvi has but I think there’s a sports bag in there with some other stuff.

There’s not alot of space there at the back but this is expected of a car this size. There’s this feature with the Perodua Myvi’s car seats where it can be extended to make some sort of area where you can keep things.

The Perodua Myvi first arrived on the scene in May 2005. With 487,400 units sold since then, the five-door hatchback has certainly been popular with the public – that it has been the country’s best-selling model for five years, from 2006 to 2010, states it all.

Of course, as good a run as it has been in terms of numbers, there’s only one way to ensure further success, so it’s time for a change, or at least a complete makeover for the car. The first-generation Myvi was facelifted in August 2008, but now a full revision is at hand with the arrival of the 2011 Myvi.

From a concept point of view, where the old car was defined as a multi-purpose compact (MPC) by the company, the second-gen vehicle is now tagged as an advance multi-purpose compact, or A-MPC if you will, which essentially translates into a refined compact car that continues its predecessor’s tradition of reliability, but with upgraded features and improved vehicle performance.
The incoming car soldiers on in 1.3-litre form – the promise of a 1.5-litre variant hasn’t come to light, unfortunately – and retains the usage of the same platform as before, though revision work has come about with the chassis.

The short of it is that Perodua says that the new Myvi contains more than mere aesthetic changes, and is really an evolution of the outgoing car, featuring a sleeker exterior, a more spacious and refined interior, enhanced safety features as well as improved NVH and better functionality and equipment levels.

Let’s take a look at the changes in the new car, which is available in three variant forms – Standard, Premium and the top-of-the-line Elegance – at point of launch.
