Get One - Myvi Se 2011!



Here's the idea..
Do you fancy a faster Myvi? The 1.3 variant is a tough machine to be handled at 170km/h (if it somehow reach this speed), so Perodua will introduced a more powerful version powered by mightier 1.5 litre engine.

Packed with nothing-high-performance-whatsoever engine currently powering the sub-MPV Alza, the 104 bhp lump will minimally make Myvi mildly speedier. The massive blacked-out front splitter (whole color scheme looks suspiciously Renault Megane RS inspired) hopefully was aerodynamically tuned to produce some meaningful downforce. Behind the similarly-sized alloy, hopefully housed at least lowered kit (unlikely by looking at the car photos).

Industry spy bird was caught saying the car will be launched on September 16th. Words are that there is a "normal" SE without the sporty bodykit and an "Extreme" version with, well, sporty bodykit. Let's wait if Malaysia has produce a pocket-rocket hot hatch which is affordable to the masses.

Both the SE and Extreme are available with a four-speed auto gearbox or a five-speed manual. Prices range from RM50,900 for the SE manual to RM61,700 for the Extreme auto, figures that are lower than some have speculated. To recap, the Myvi 1.3 range starts from RM43,900 and tops out at RM57,400 for the 1.3 Elegance auto.



Let’s start with the heart of the matter. The SE and Extreme are powered by a 1.5-litre twin-cam engine with DVVT. This is the 3SZ-VE engine used in the Alza, and not the 1NZ-FE from the Toyota Vios. The chain driven (timing chain, not belt) engine puts out 102 hp at 6,000 rpm and 136 Nm of torque from 4,400 rpm, a 12 hp/19 Nm jump from the Myvi 1.3.
While this is lower than the Vios’ 108 hp/141 Nm, the Myvi 1.5 (at 970 to 995 kg) is lighter than that sedan, and Perodua’s power-to-weight ratio charts sees the SE beat the “Model SS” (Suzuki Swift), “Model V” (Vios) and “Model P” (Persona).

Lagi power eh? The Myvi 1.5′s acceleration is not to be scoffed at – the SE manual does the 0-100 km/h sprint in just 9.98 seconds, which is very swift. To compare, a BMW 320i Sport does the same sprint in 9.8 secs, so don’t play play! The Myvi SE auto is timed at 12.49 seconds. So 2.0L sedan owners, don’t be too surprised if that pesky yellow thing runs neck-to-neck with you in the traffic light GP!
As for fuel consumption, Perodua claims 15.9 km/l for the manual and 12.9 km/l for the auto. These figures are slightly down from the 1.3L, but are still better than competing national cars, says P2.



Inside, the Myvi 1.5 gets an all black dashboard and interior, unlike the dual-tone scheme on the standard car. The steering wheel is now wrapped in leather, and there are audio controls on the left spoke, a first in Myvi history. The front seats are also unique – Perodua calls them “semi bucket seats”.
Start the car and you’ll also realise that the Camry style instruments – orange illumination in 1.3 Standard, turquoise in the Premium/Elegance – is now in red, with white for the needles and trip computer. The dial design is also slightly different and there are chrome rings thrown in. The plastic surround for the meter panel is now in sliver.

Myvi 1.5 extreme arrived!











The new 2011 Perodua Myvi 1.3 was launched in June 16 with 3 variants: Standard, Premium and Elegance. To further boost the sales of Myvi model, Perodua now launched 2 new variants – the new Myvi SE and Myvi Extreme with 1.5-litre DOHC 16V DVVT engine to all its prospective customers. The new Myvi 1.5 is marketed with the catchphrase “Lagi Power, Lagi Best”.

Despite the fact that Perodua developed the new Myvi 1.5 at the same time as the current Myvi 1.3 model. However, we think that Perodua have done a great job in styling the car and well responded to their customer requirement and feedback in terms of performance.

The new Myvi SE and Myvi Extreme are priced between RM 50,900 and RM 61,700 depending on the specifications. Both variants offer the choice of 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission.

The power plant delivers a maximum power of 76kW (102hp) @ 6,000rpm with a max torque of 136Nm @ 4,400rpm. Likewise, the previous generation of Myvi SE is fitted with the standard 1.3-litre engine.

The new Myvi 1.5 SE and Extreme in manual transmission can accelerate from 0-100km/h in 9.98 seconds, while the auto transmission takes 12.49 seconds. The Myvi 1.5 SE/Extreme manual is considered the fastest Perodua’s vehicle in production.

Based on Perodua Testing Data, the fuel consumption of the New Myvi 1.5-litre manual is tested to deliver 15.9km/litre. While the New Myvi 1.5-litre automatic is tested to deliver 12.9km/litre.

The entire suspension system for both variants have been slightly re-tuned to accommodate the bigger engine for better handling and ride comfort.

Weigh against the new Myvi 1.5 SE and Extreme, the Myvi 1.5 Extreme comes standard with a more aggressively styled body-kit, multimedia system with navigation (built-in GPS, DVD player, Bluetooth with hands-free function, USB port), semi-bucket seats with leather covers, and tinted windows. In the other hand, the Myvi 1.5 SE only comes with fabric semi-bucket seats, standard SE body-kit, and multimedia system with navigation (for Myvi 1.5 SE Auto only).

On the colour variations, the New Myvi 1.5 SE comes in 5 colours (Solid Majestic Yellow, Solid Ivory White, Metallic Mystical Purple, Metallic Ebony Black, and Metallic Glittering Silver). At the same time, the New Myvi 1.5 Extreme only comes in 3 colours (Solid Majestic Yellow, Solid Ivory White, and Metallic Ebony Black).

In the safety aspect, both variants are equipped with dual SRS airbags, ABS with EBD and BA system as standard. Moreover, Perodua claims that the new variants also come with a collision-resistant body to better withstand impact as well as have pedestrian protection to reduce the likelihood of serious injury to pedestrians.

All Perodua including the New Myvi 1.5 SE and Myvi 1.5 Extreme come standard with 3-year/100,000km warranty (and optional 2-year/50,000km extended warranty).

Recently, Perodua was awarded with 4-star Malaysian Vehicle Assessment Programme (MyVAP) rating by the Malaysian Insitute of Road Safety (MIROS) for the New Myvi including the 1.3 (Standard, Premium and Elegence) and 1.5 (SE and Extreme).

Myvi Elegance 2011 !







Finally, after many months of waiting, we would like to share some info on the new Perodua Myvi from Perodua.The new Perodua Myvi comes with 3 variants namely Standard, Premium and Elegance.

Eventhough, many said that the higher spec of 1.5l litre will be produced unfortunately this time around, only 1.3l were introduced. However based on the press report, Perodua might probably introduce the 1.5 variants soon based on the response given by customers.

The colour for Perodua Myvi Elegance only availabe in Mystical Purple, Ebony Black dan Ivory White only.

If you aspect major changes in the new Myvi compared to the old model, you are wrong. The different between the Myvi 2011 and its predecessor is basically on the visual. If you look at the spec sheet, the size is basically similar for example, they share the same track (front 1,455 mm, rear 1,465 mm) and wheelbase length (2,440 mm).

The new Perodua Myvi 2011 has 208 litres of boot size and it less 17 litres than the old Myvi. And if the rear seats are folded you will get a 595 litres of space, enough to carry a small washing machine in your new Myvi.

If you opt for the Elegance spec you will get a full colour 6-inch touch screen head unit with a GPS navigation. Perodua has pre-installed their service center location in the GPS unit, what a smart move by Perodua.
