Perodua to expand Rawang plant

PERUSAHAAN Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) plans to expand its 138-hectare manufacturing plant in Sungai Choh, Rawang, Selangor, by March 2010.

This is to fulfill an increasing demand for the export market in future, managing director Datuk Syed Abdull Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar said today.

Speaking to reporters after a Perodua Alza prize giving ceremony in Petaling Jaya, he said it was also time for the company to go for an upgrading of the facility with an overwhelming response for the company's three models to date.

"Our plant must be upgraded next year. There is insufficient capacity if we want to expand our export market or even export the new multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) Alza," he told reporters.
The manufacturing facility currently has the capacity to produce 250,000 cars annually on two-shift cyle.

It houses among others, the Perodua corporate building, research and development testing laboratories and styling studio, vehicle test track, manufacturing plant, engine plant, pre-delivery inspection area, vehicle distribution stockyard and a parts warehouse.

"Before the launch of the Alza, we did a feasibility study and the target was to sell 2,800 units monthly. But now (based on the response), we believe that sales can easily reach 4,000 monthly from January onwards.

"So, we now have to increase the plant capacity and land is not an issue as we still have a huge vacant space for expansion," he said.

Syed Abdull Hafiz also said Perodua was on track to achieve the group’s quality benchmark of 0.2 defects per car, for it to expand overseas.

He said the company has set the target of achieving 176,000 units sales in 2010 from the 164,000 estimated earlier for 2009.

If achieved, the 2010 numbers will be the highest in respect of sales, in Perodua's history since its establishment in 1993.

Until November 2009, Perodua recorded sales of 151,000 units, with a 53 per contribution from Myvi.

On the Alza, the company received some 11,000 bookings as of November 4, with a waiting period of between 2-3 months.

To date, 400 units of the Alza have been registered and the company expects about 50,000 units to be on the road in 2010.

Despite the strong interest for the Alza, bookings for the Myvi and ViVA continued to be strong in November, with close to 10,000 and 7,000 units respectively.

According to Syed Abdull Hafiz, Perodua plans to roll out a new compact car in 2011 to strengthen its market, both locally and overseas.

Meanwhile, four lucky Myvi buyers drove away with a brand new 1.5L premium Perodua Alza each, after they were picked as the grand prize winners of the "Myvi Moment" contest.

new car

Perodua Alza..
this new mpv from perodua really kill exora! cheaper, nice also, functionality..etc etc...


But, after i thought really hard, i sms to Cat. *refer to previous post, my friend, or the name "cat" apply to here also*
So, cat also think twice for me..wakaka..thanks lot to "think". he said got disadvantage not on the car model but my current situation. *P&C. ask me also wont tell*
he suggest another model car from the Kancil maker,
MYvi SE


What the different SE version with normal one? AHA! the different is *from what i heard and knew* it a sport version. Yet, not really much different beside the skirt, the interior seating etc etc

However, when i at the showroom, i saw another version!

TO MY DEAR YVONNE YEE, this might be close to what you dream for! it not really label as LIMITED but still, it produce LIMITED-LY! it only have 5000 piece out there *of course not sold out YET*
the name is...

MYvi EXCLUSIVE EDITION


See the different? No? of course no! i also cannot different it in the showroom!
*DUH...pointless re-designation?*
but some feature really can be distinguish such as the chrome handle and such...
Yet, not much different...


So, today, when we go home, all of us think so hard on it... but my mom off track like usual, thinking avanza,
oldest CRV version...nissan latio...
haiz...hope will get a decision faster...
and, if anyone got idea and opinion, please do give me some feedback

p/s: i saw a IDIOTEST design of shelf in Maluri Jusco toohpaste section. the designer use super brightest light to attract people. but for me, it dispell me from going any nearer! thank you idiotesy

The Alza vs The Myvi

How much is the new Perodua Alza?

So anyway, here we are finally, the Perodua Alza. The smaller MPV also comes with a smaller price tag, though Proton has worked to introduce the Exora Basic as well. Perodua says the Alza project first started off as the D46T about 3 years ago. The Japanese version was unveiled on Christmas day last year.

It’s cheaper than the Exora though technically it isn’t the cheapest in the market. Changan-Berjaya sells their Chana Era CM8 “van” at prices starting from under RM40k.

Datuk Syed Hafiz revealed that a sportier version with a bodykit, GPS navigation and a reverse camera will be introduced in March 2010, though I think showrooms are already taking bookings for this version now. This model will be premium and auto-only, and will go for RM69,990 which is RM6k on top of the Metallic Premium automatic.

The prices range between RM56,000 to RM64,000 per unit for the standard model and between RM67,000 and RM70,000 for the advanced version.

Alza, which means “to rise” in Spanish, rose to the occasion when it was launched with the tagline “Versatile As You” at a ceremony that saw about 900 industry players, Perodua staff, local and foreign journalists and car enthusiasts.



How big is the Perodua Alza?

Above you will find a comparison of various MPVs available in the Malaysian market. The Alza’s power output and weight is actually quite similiar to the Avanza’s, which means performance should be comparable. The Alza and Avanza actually use the same 3SZ-VE engine though the Alza’s is transverse and the Avanza’s is longitudinal for rear wheel drive installation. There is a discrepancy with the power figures quoted above for the Alza and Avanza engine, but I think it’s because Perodua gave DIN numbers while the Toyota numbers are a different kind of measurement.


Is there enough power?

When we drove the Alza under a load of 4 to 5 people it was quite possible to drive in a relaxed manner, though pace was rather hampered. Driving it in a “youthful” manner with hurried progress called for the engine to be revved into the upper boundaries of the rev range most of the time. What made it worse is the fact that the engines did not seem to be run in properly, and most of us in the same car agreed.

Veteran journo Leeps (who went ahead and bought one after the media preview drive) described it as being kinda ‘tight’, while to me the sensation was of an inconsistent torque curve (also reflected in RPM needle progress) that kept dipping randomly. It’s really quite a bummer as when things like this happens it does not reflect the car’s actual performance (just like the Mazda 3 review unit earlier this year), leaving a big blank question mark in my review expectations. So watch out for another review later, as this is pretty much just a preview drive in a circle around the Shangrila Putrajaya, though there was some very nice curves and uphills and downhills.

With regards to the revviness, you really can’t run away from this kind of engine behaviour if you try to drive it like a sports car under heavy loads. The engine has no problems taking the car around gently. I really wouldn’t consider it a significant improvement over the Exora but I found throttle response to be zipper compared to the Campro CPS. Thankfully the sound insulation for the Alza preview drive units (and the Exora) are sufficient to supress any excessive vibrations. The Alza’s engine remained sounding refined up to the redline, despite the inconsistent power delivery issues



How does the Perodua Alza handle?

The Alza behaves surprisingly decently around the bends on our test route. It’s definitely better than the Myvi. All four of us in the Alza 1.5 Premium A/T were all pleasantly surprised by this. I also had no complaints about the weighting of the power steering system – a decent weight makes it easier to point instead of being overassisted where it turns too easily and makes it hard for the driver to hold it in the position he or she wants through a bend.

When I asked the engineers, they said the Alza had improved suspension settings and it was likely that the biggest contributor to the Alza’s decent behaviour around corners is the addition of a rear stabilizer bar. The Myvi does not have this.

The rest of the suspension layout is similiar to the Myvi’s – MacPherson struts at the front and a torsion bar at the rear. The wheels are 15 inchers across the range and the tyres are 185/55R15.

The manual gearshift while in a good position to be reached of course does not offer Civic Type R kind of shift feel. It feels very rubbery and for some reason the feel of putting it into first gear is just somehow tak sedap, like it only goes in half way or something, without much feedback to you that the gear is in position. The rest of the gear positions feel ordinary.



Malaysia is a hot country – how is the air conditioning?

I think this is one of the most important features in an MPV. Stuffing many annoyed people in a hot vehicle is surely a recipe for family arguments! There is only one blower in the Perodua Alza and dashboard-level air conditioning vents are only available at the front.

Perodua says the interior of the Alza’s low roof helps with the air circulation. You can click the image above to test out some test results on air conditioning performance that they’ve released. The tests were performed with a starting cabin temperature of 55 degrees Celcius and test results were obtained after 11 minutes of driving with the air cond at maximum performance.


Are there any safety features?

Yes, only for the premium version, which gets the full ABS and dual SRS airbags treatment. I’m not sure if I can even call that full since we can get 4 airbags in a car below RM100k now – in the Peugeot 308. Even Proton is guilty of this – 2 airbags is the most you can get in any Proton sold in Malaysia.

The standard version is devoid of any safety features whatsoever other than your usual crumple zone and the chassis. ABS, EBD and dual SRS airbags are only available for the premium version, which I find is just plain skimping on specifications. Why couldn’t they have left a single airbag for the standard version? There are also no ISOFIX points anywhere in the car, so you’ll be forced to strap your baby chair with seatbelts (as per some reader’s request, please read my long rant about ISOFIX in this story).



What about the Alza’s Fuel Consumption?

Its premature to talk about fuel consumption at this point of time considering we drove only a few km around Shangrila Putrajaya. Logically I don’t expect the Alza to perform great in terms of fuel efficiency if you have a full load but it’s probably still going to be cheaper than if you take two cars.

Perodua claims 12.7 km per liters with the automatic transmission model and 15.5 km per liters with the manual transmission model. This is based on their own internal “Perodua mixed mode test”, so these numbers will be different from the Passo Sette’s which are based on Japan 10-15 mode.

The Alza’s multi-info display meter integrated in the center dashboard has the ability to show you your average fuel consumption in liters per 100km, and your remaining range based on the fuel remaining in your fuel tank in terms of km.

I will be requesting for a test drive unit later in order to do some day to day driving with only one or two people in the car and measure the overall fuel consumption. I’ll also be trying to measure the fuel consumption on a full load on a short trip somewhere. I believe with these two figures you can get a better picture of the kind of fuel money you’ll be forking out if you own an Alza.

The Perodua Alza drives decently (you honestly can’t say the Alza handles like a boat or the usual stuff that gets said about the Myvi) and offers a lot of space inside, as long as you don’t actually use it as an MPV. At the kind of prices Perodua is asking for, it could become an alternative to sedans from Proton or the Korean manufacturers, or for those who have the spare cash and want something newer than the Myvi, with a bigger bootspace. Just buy the Premium version to make sure you get all the necessary safety equipment. But if you are looking for an alternative to the Exora or any other MPV, you’ll have to think twice if you need it to fit 7 adults.

Perodua Viva VS Perodua MyVi

I know some of you who are thinking of buying the Perodua Myvi are now considering buying the top of the range Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium instead. So I’m going to do a little comparison here. If you have anything to add, please feel free to comment and contribute to the discussion.

Power

Interestingly, it seems that the same 1.0 liter DVVT EJ-VE engine in the Perodua Viva makes more torque than the Perodua Myvi’s 1.0 liter DVVT EJ-VE engine. The Viva claims to make 90Nm of torque at 3,600rpm, while the Myvi 1.0 liter only makes 88Nm at 3,600rpm – that’s a minor difference of only 2Nm though.

Since the Perodua Viva 1.0 liter would clearly beat the Myvi 1.0 in terms of power to weight ratio, so let’s compare the Myvi 1.3 to the Viva 1.0 Premium instead. The Myvi 1.3 weighs 955kg and puts out 86 horsepower. That’s a power to weight ratio of 0.09 horsepower per kg. As for the Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium, it weighs 800kg and puts out 60 horsepower – that gives it a power to weight ratio of 0.075 horsepower per kg.

So we can conclude that in a drag race, the Viva won’t be able to smoke it’s larger sibling in stock form. That doesn’t mean the Viva is terribly slow – in a previous supermini shootout done together with folks at NST Life & Times, I found that the Myvi effortlessly smoked other superminis with larger 1.5 liter engines.

Another thing to point out is the Perodua Myvi 1.3 liter uses a 4-cylinder engine, and 4-cylinder engines are alot smoother than 3-cylinder engines like the one found in the Perodua Viva. 3-cylinders have more vibration, which might end up being felt by you in the steering wheel and other points in the chassis.

Fuel Economy

According to Perodua’s own charts, the Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium can travel 17.5km per liter of petrol on a combined cycle which I suspect involves alot of light footed driving and highway cruising. This is for the manual transmission. The Myvi 1.3 manual is rated at 17.1km per liter of petrol. Very similar fuel consumption, however the people on the streets who actually own the Myvi 1.3 manual reports actual mileage of about 13 to 14 km per liter if driven frugally.

As for the auto transmission, Perodua says the Myvi 1.3 Auto can get 13.5 km per liter, however the average man on the street usually gets about 10 to 11 km per liter. Comparing it to the Viva 1.0 liter automatic, Perodua says it can get 15.1km per liter, so expect about 12km per liter in reality.

Thus we can assume the Viva automatic should be a little more frugal than the Perodua Myvi automatic, but for the manual transmission models actual fuel economy should prove to be about the same.

Space

The Perodua Viva is actually longer in the interior than the Perodua Myvi at 1845mm compared to the Perodua Myvis 1835mm, but a great margin narrower. Having a long interior is important, it ensures the rear passenger legroom is at comfortable levels, just like the Perodua Myvi’s. However, being narrower the downside is you can’t really fit 3 people in the rear bench comfortably, making the Perodua Viva more of a 4-seater than a 5-seater. The Viva’s boot is only 149 liters with the rear bench upright compared to the Myvi’s 255 liters, significantly smaller, however you can extend this size by dropping the rear passenger bench to create a 449 liter space.

Ride and Handling

Nothing much can be said about the Perodua Myvi’s handling abilities other than the fact that it’ll probably get you to work and back safely. From what I’ve heard from some journalists who’ve driven the car, I think I shouldn’t expect much of the Viva’s either. Which is a shame as the Kelisa was a somewhat fun drive. Many will miss the Kelisa’s zippy DNA which is reportedly missing in the new Viva. If you want a driver’s small car, go get the Proton Savvy.

Equipment levels

One thing I am concerned about is the lack of an integrated CD player head unit in the Perodua Viva, which means Viva owners will have to be careful about where they park their cars lest their mirrors get smashed and their head units stolen. However, this means the CD player can be easily swapped.

The equipment level of the Perodua Viva 1.0 liter standard is disappointing to be honest, not even proper alloy wheels are supplied, instead you are given steel wheels. This means a difference of roughly RM4k on average gets you airbags, ABS, proper alloy wheels, wing mirrors with signal lamps, roof spoiler, and etc. I’m really not sure if it’s worth it or not – I’ll leave it up to you.

The Perodua Myvi on the other hand has just about everything you need in the baseline 1.3 liter model. It also feels more premium because of an interior design that looks abit more higher grade, as well as Optitron-style meters which are self illuminating, unlike the backlit meter clusters of the Perodua Viva.

Price

Perodua Viva 1000cc MT Solid: RM36,800
Perodua Viva 1000cc MT Metallic: RM37,200
Perodua Viva 1000cc AT Solid: RM39,800

Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium AT Solid: RM43,800
Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium AT Metallic: RM44,200

Perodua Myvi 1300cc MT Solid: RM43,007.60
Perodua Myvi 1300cc MT Metallic: RM43,530.80
Perodua Myvi 1300cc AT Solid: RM45,912.60
Perodua Myvi 1300cc AT Metallic: RM46,435.80
Perodua Myvi 1300cc Premium MT Solid: RM45,912.60
Perodua Myvi 1300cc Premium MT Metallic: RM46,435.80
Perodua Myvi 1300cc Premium AT Solid: RM48,792.60
Perodua Myvi 1300cc Premium AT Metallic: RM49,315.80

The differences between the non-Premium and Premium versions of the Perodua Viva is roughly about RM4,000, while in the Myvi it is only about RM2,900 or so.

So yeah, Perodua Viva 1000cc Premium Auto Metallic at RM44,200 or the Perodua Myvi 1300cc Premium AT Metallic at RM49,315.80? That’s a difference of about RM5,000 there for a bigger engine, slightly more performance, a minor decrease in fuel consumption frugalness, a wider interior space, and a bigger boot.

The boot space doesn’t matter to me – both boots are too small for serious usage unless you put the rear bench seats down.

Is that extra RM5,000 to go from A-segment to B-segment worth it, or would you rather save the money?

Myvi and Viva to fuel MBM Resources growth

KUALA LUMPUR: MBM Resources Bhd expects a better performance this year on strong demand for the newly-launched Perodua Viva.

Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd's (Perodua) Myvi and Viva would be MBM's growth driver this year, managing director Looi Kok Loon said.

The new Viva attracting public attention
The optimism was based on sustained demand anticipated for Myvi and the current overwhelming response for Viva, which had attracted some 7,000 orders in less than a month of its launch.

“The group profit’s profile has 65% exposure to Perodua’s operations, including via the automotive manufacturing which supplies parts to Perodua,” he said after the company AGM yesterday.

MBM has a 23.5% stake in the second national carmaker, which sold 11% more cars last year than in 2005 despite a contracted total industry volume.

For the financial year ended Dec 31, 2006, MBM achieved RM121.9mil in pre-tax profit on RM1.13bil revenue.

On MBM's 86%-owned subsidiary Federal Auto Holdings Bhd, Looi said he expected the forthcoming launch of the Volvo S80 premium sedan to have a strong impact on the local luxury car market.

“This year, with the much-needed new model, we will be able to better position ourselves in the luxury segment.

“Volvo cars, which used to enjoy up to 20% share of the luxury car market, currently has below 10% share,” he said, adding that sales of Volvo cars had improved since the first quarter of this year.

MBM’s 71.5%-owned subsidiary Daihatsu (M) Sdn Bhd planned to introduce two new models this year. The Daihatsu light trucks dealer currently commanded 40% market share in this segment, he said.

Looi said the current exchange rate environment - the stronger ringgit against the yen and greenback - was favourable to the group. He said: “It helps us push up our margin amid the competitive market.”

On the outlook for car sales, Looi said if the market improved in next nine months, the gain would only be able to offset the shortfall in the sector during the first quarter.

For the first three months ended March 31, MBM posted a lower net profit of RM18.74mil from RM21.97mil in the previous corresponding period.

Revenue dipped 6% to RM253.41mil from RM271.3mil previously.

Perodua Myvi also can use Magnetic Fuel Saver

The Effective Way to Fuel Saving - Perodua Myvi Car

Introduction.

The combustion engine vehicle efficiency is about 9%. This means that your car consume more energy that it convert in movement. In other words, you pay more energy that you use. In this text I will describe you some methods and apparatus for improving the combustion of fluid fuel in combustion devices, such as general burners, incinerators, fuel oil boilers from appliance boilers to heat power boilers ( home or industrial heating ), combustion furnaces, and internal combustion engines in automobiles ( two-cycle and four-cycle, diesel and gasoline ), trucks, ships and jets, where the fuel employed is liquid or gaseous hydrofuels, such as gas, natural gas, propane, kerosene, gasoline, fuel oil, butane, etc…

Magnetic FuelSaver.

The number one topic that people are discussing around the world is the high price for gasoline and diesel. A primary factor affecting the economy of a nation, a state, a city, or even a family, is the price of fuel. Families cut back on shopping for new products because their budgets are impacted by the rising gas prices. It costs more to fly because a “fuel surcharge” is added to the ticket cost, thereby causing some people to postpone their trip to grandma’s, or delay their vacation. Businesses are also impacted because the cost of sales rises with the cost of fuel… Municipalities are adversely affected as well. These actions are not limited to the Malaysia, but are global in scope.

Applying a magnetic field to ionizing fuel to be fed to combustion devices we can ensure more complete combustion, obtaining a maximization of the fuel economy, improving the fuel efficiency and reducing polluting emissions.

The fuel is subject to the lines of forces from permanent magnets mounted on fuel inlet lines. The magnet for producing the magnetic field is oriented so that its South pole (red) is located adjacent the fuel line and its North pole (blue) is located spaced apart from the fuel line.

The magnetic field strength must be at a higher Gauss level (500 Gauss) since it may be demagnetized to some extent before reaching the combustion chamber.

According to Magsaver Malaysia:

Magsaver is designed to condition the fuel prior to combustion to increase power output, save fuel, and reduce emissions.



* Magsaver can help engine to burn fuel more efficiently

* Magsaver let your car run more miles per gallon

* Magsaver will improve engine performance

* Magsaver will reduce emissions

* Magsaver will clean air

Magsaver gadgets increase combustion efficiency for a cleaner burning engine. This reduces harmful emissions while increasing engine performance.

The passage of fuel through the magnetic energy field causes the hydrocarbon molecules become realigned into and orderly pattern. The newly created positive molecules tend to remain in the fuel mixture and not migrate to the fuel line which would result in greater oxidation thus giving higher burning performance and efficiency

MAGSAVER is a powerful yet simple device that works on all old or new vehicles, whether it runs on petrol, diesel and even gas, carburetor or injected fuel system such as i-Vtec, VVTi, VANOS, VTC, CAMPRO, CPS, SUPERCHARGER, TURBOCHARGER or any other condition whatsoever.

Thieves target Myvi airbags

Police form taskforce to nab syndicate

MYVI airbags

EXPENSIVE ITEM: New airbags cost about RM5,000
MYVI owners beware! The most popular car in Malaysia is now being targeted by thieves.

Malay Mail learnt recently that syndicates have been stealing airbags, the single most expensive part in the car’s cabin — to resell them in the black market to unscrupulous parts dealers.

And while consumers can install “second hand” airbags from unauthorised dealers at cheaper prices at about RM1,000, instead of RM5,000 for a pair, many are unaware of the dangers — that the airbag may not function or may deploy at odd times. Or worse, it could explode and injure the installer.

What’s more worrying about this thieving trend is that it is not difficult to do for those with the expertise.

Following several complaints to Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua), the car manufacturing company found that there was a security weakness in the car that could be exploited.

Thieves with the technical know-how could apparently open up the Myvi hood easily, short-circuit certain equipment and gain access to all the vehicle doors. From that point onwards, stealing the airbags is a breeze.

Following months of research, Perodua has come up with a counterplan and has fixed anti-theft features on new cars coming out next year.

Older models would, however, need to return to service centres for an upgrade. (See accompanying story)
This spate of bizzare Myvi airbag thefts, which began cropping-up last year, has also concerned police so much that Kuala Lumpur and Malacca police have formed special task-forces to target the syndicate.

Kuala Lumpur deputy CID chief ACP Khairi Ahrasa said: “There have been more than 50 cases reported in the Sentul district itself.

“We have formed a taskforce and are investigating who may be behind the thefts,” he said, adding that there was a sudden increase since June this year.

Such thefts have been reported in Wangsa Maju, Setapak, and Kepong. A source said there have also been cases in Petaling Jaya, Brickfields and Cheras. Malacca CID chief ACP Adnan Abdulllah said the State had recorded more than 17 cases.

“The majority of the cases are in central Malacca. We have formed a taskforce to investigate the cases,” he said, adding that they are also working closely with their Kuala Lumpur counterparts.

And while Perodua itself has received about five complaints, the total number of unreported cases cannot be established.

Perodua Car Price List (for my rec)

From the price like & the forums that I have read, I'll definitely prefer 2 cars...

1. Kancil 660 Basic (only RM22K)
2. Kelisa 1000 EZS Special Edition (M) Metallic (RM40K)

What a difference isn't it? I choose No. 1 because there is no car cheaper than this! While I like red Kelisa SE very much! Yet, I'm buying New Saga, the cheapest sedan car as compared to Myvi (RM7K more dear)

PERODUA Myvi + 4G93T Engine

My good friend Faizal sent some pix about this monster hybrid project. After doing some research apparently this project is in Miri, Sarawak. The original story is in this Chinese forum
http://www.ilovemiri.com/viewthread.php?tid=5628 . If you want to read the English version, you can go to ZTH forums.

With the power to weight ratio, this thing is going to fly, ha ha. With the availability of 4G93T aftermarket parts like pistons, rods and camshafts i guess we just have to wait for this monster to be modded once completed.

B16A is around the same size, isnt it?

Power from the Myvi is boring no more. Speedworks comes out with a Performance Kit to bring out the manhood in the car.

Even after more than a year since its' unveiling, I still get asked about my opinions regarding the Perodua Myvi. Not to take anything away from this hot selling model, but my answer is always the same- that it is a rather purposeful car, a good buy but not exactly a car I can fully enjoy driving above normal limits.

The reason for that is the car's civilized handling qualities. By the way, my answer above would usually be followed by “… it's not exactly like the Savvy”. Yes, I know that I've publicized my longing for a manufacturer, any manufacturer for that matter to come out with a dirt cheap simple car that will meet the needs of ‘second-car' buyers. But practicality is also important in this case, and the lack of significant boot space reduces the Myvi's role as merely another car that looks cute. But surely, there has to be some way to make the car interesting performance-wise, at least by virtue of sales volume the Myvi enjoys alone.

The most obvious path of course comes from the Passo and Boon, both of which lets in the Daihatsu YRV turbo engine shoehorned into its engine bay. But then again, how many of us have actually seen the K3-VET engine used this way? In fact, how many of this turbo engine has been brought into the country? I wouldn't be surprised if the number is naught. So where does that leave us?

Going NA and try wring every drop of juice from the powerplant is not a very popular method nowadays. But it certainly is refined and a lot more challenging to say the least. The trouble then would be waiting for a party to step up to the plate and actually giving a boost for the diminutive power delivery. Some have shown some progress, but a simple exhaust swap for a negligible horsepower increase barely makes it interesting. So when Speedworks called the office the other day, the substance of the conversation consequently led me in the driving seat of their 1.3 liter Myvi complete with a custom developed performance kit.

Malaysia's best-selling compact hatch is here - can it be equally popular among Singaporeans?

Story & pictures by Jeremy Chua, of oneshift.com
What does it take for a carmaker to be No.1? Perodua, Malaysia's second automaker, recently knocked the dominant Proton off its perch to claim the top spot at home. Those of you who aren't too familiar with how this happened might be thinking - "Wow! That must've cost billions for them to be able to accomplish that."

Only it didn't. We're not saying it didn't cost them a pretty penny either. Instead of spending loads of cash on design, engineering, research & development, Perodua's tactic was simply to badge engineer their cars.

What this means is that Perodua's cars aren't of their own making. In a nutshell, badge engineering means one carmaker takes models from another manufacturer they've signed a contract with, slightly alter the interiors, slap their own badges onto the body and presto - you get the same product (perhaps with differing equipment levels) under a different brand name.

So Perodua took the Daihatsu Sirion, slightly changed the interior and rebadged it as the Myvi. The Myvi then went on to sell so well, that it made Perodua the top-selling brand in the Malaysian market.


Exterior

To begin with, the Myvi is a rather squarish looking four-door hatchback. This is by no means a bad thing, since the squarish shape does indicate that in practical terms, there is bound to be lots of interior space. At 3,750mm long, the Myvi happens to be a good 175mm longer than its Viva sibling. And with a width of 1,665mm, parking the Myvi should also be a breeze.


The Myvi's flared wheel arches dwarf the dainty (but cute looking) 14-inch wheels and tyres - the car could easily accommodate a set of wider and grippier tyres, which would give it a more planted stance. The wide front and rear bumpers with lower lips give the car a more substantial look, but without making the Myvi seem aggressive. No roof spoiler here though - that's only standard on the range-topping variants.

The inside story

Before sliding into the driver's seat, the first thing you'll notice is the all-grey theme. Potential owners should definitely start thinking of ways to liven up the interior - but then again with the car's popularity across the Causeway, personalisation shouldn't be a problem.


The optitron instrument cluster was a good call, but on a more personal note, the only other option, blue (which comes standard in the higher-end variants), would've been a more pleasant affair. The dashboard's centre is occupied by a factory-fitted sound system with big, easy to read buttons - so unless you have an eyesight problem, you shouldn't have any problem operating it.


What would a hatchback be if it weren't practical? If the Viva's rear seats could be folded down to create more room, well, so can the Myvi's. The biggest difference here though, is that the seat's bottom has to be extended first, before the backrests can be unlatched to allow it to fall forward. The advantage here is that the seats, when collapsed, are a lot flatter than what we previously saw in the Viva.


Driving it

The Myvi's DOHC 4-cylinder, 1.3 liter KJ-VE engine is capable of 86bhp at 6,000rpm and 116Nm at 3,200 rpm. Owing to its additional cylinder and displacement over the 1 liter powerplant, it also sounds more refined.

The extra 26bhp mustered by the Myvi over the Viva is very welcoming, although this performance is somewhat blunted by the extra 145kg of mass carried around by the Myvi. While this might sound like a disadvantage at first, the extra weight does give the car a more planted feel, especially on expressways. While the Viva was prone to being tossed around by crosswinds, this isn't a problem here.

With Macpherson struts up front and a torsion beam at the rear, one might conclude that the Myvi is very comfort biased. A quick run through not-as-smoothly-paved roads should set the record straight though. The suspension here is a tad on the stiff side, so there's a tendency for undulations to enter the cabin.


Conclusion

Our biggest gripe so far has to be the fact that ABS/EBD and the dual SRS airbags are only standard in the two range topping models. After all, in today?s world, safety features such as these should be standard throughout the model range.

Despite these grouses, it's still not difficult to see why this car turned out to be so popular. The Myvi's interior has a higher quality feel, and thanks to the car's slightly larger dimensions, is also roomier without it being more difficult to park. Its 1.3-litre engine packs additional power, and has the advantage of more torque at lower revs - without compromising on fuel economy.

Is all of that worth the extra premium that the Myvi commands? Well, looking at it from a long-term perspective, we certainly think so.

Perodua MyVi

The Perodua Myvi is a supermini/ subcompact car launched in 2005 by Malaysian car maker Perodua. The Myvi was the result of Perodua's collaboration with Toyota and Daihatsu. Based on the second generation Daihatsu Sirion/Boon, the MyVi is also similar in design as the Toyota Passo.

The 1 liter Myvi which is the Perodua Myvi 1.0SR will be using the EJ-VE 1 liter 3 cylinder DOHC engine, an upgraded version of the EJ-DE 1 liter 3 cylinder DOHC found in the Kenari/Kelisa.
