Perodua Myvi
Since the Perodua Myvi has been positioned as a premium hatchback for large families, the manufacturer has made sure that space is quite ample inside the car. The Myvi feels incredibly spacious for a car of this size and segment, with the rear seat in the cabin being as spacious as one would expect from that of an entry-level sedan. At the same time, the flexible seating configurations too prove quite helpful in carrying extra luggage.
Despite being powered by quite powerful 1.3-litre petrol and 1.5-litre petrol engines, the Myvi is very fuel efficient by segment standards. While the 1.3-litre petrol delivers 21.1kmpl, the 1.5-litre petrol is capable of returning a maximum fuel economy of 20.1kmpl, thus making the Perodua Myvi the most fuel-efficient premium hatchback in the market right now.

Rear seat space could have been better
Perodua Myvi
While the Perodua Myvi is positioned as a premium hatchback, the overall styling of the car doesn’t suggest so. The Myvi looks a bit bland by today’s high standards set by other cars in the same space, which makes it look quite dated and uninspiring as well.
While the Myvi is powered by decently powerful petrol engine options, the driveability of the car is not as engaging as one would expect it to be. The suspension and steering setup are too soft for one’s liking, which is quite playful in city traffic conditions, but then, they do not inspire much of confidence and thrill, especially for those enthusiasts who love driving.
