Perodua Myvi
|
Despite having a small footprint and compact dimensions, the Perodua Axia is a very spacious small hatchback which can put some hatchbacks one segment above to shame with its clever space levels on the inside. The tall boy stance does translate into a considerable amount of headroom, while at the same time, the Axia demonstrates segment-best legroom as well.
Perodua has always been known for making the most economic cars in the respective segments, and the Axia being the smallest of them all, is the most fuel-efficient as well. The 1.0-litre petrol engine in the Perodua Axia promises a fuel economy of 22 kmpl, which easily outclasses all of its similarly priced competitors.
The Perodua Axia might be a car meant solely for the masses who are out there for a car for the very first time. Despite this fact, the manufacturer has not compromised in equipping this car with features, and the Axia comes with some premium features like projector headlamps, touch screen infotainment system and push-button start-stop system.
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.
While the car manages to make you feel premium with its long list of feel-good comfort and convenience features, the overall design of the interior cabin and dashboard feel too sombre and plain. The center console, despite having a touch screen infotainment system, looks pretty dated in its visual appeal.
On the outside too, the Perodua Axia fails to generate a very strong first impression. The little hatchback looks a bit dated, and the rear and side profiles of the car look very plain in general, which could have had a bit more visual drama.
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.
