Drooling for extremes

2012 Perodua Myvi SE and 2012 Perodua Myvi Extreme

Back in June 2011, Perodua launched the all new Myvi, which was based on the second-generation Toyota Passo/Daihatsu Boon but with different design cures to suit the needs of Malaysian customers. It was later sold in Indonesia as the new Daihatsu Sirion (didn't see that thing coming).

Now, there were hotter versions of the all new Myvi arrived under the banners "Perodua Myvi SE 1.5" and the new "Perodua Myvi Extreme". With the concept of "Lagi Power, Lagi Best", the 1.5L engine makes both the new Myvi SE and the new Myvi Extreme. On here, the new Myvi SE gained a new grille, new front bumper, and relocated fog lamps, The new Myvi Extreme has the same look from the SE but more agressive thanks to the grey bumper lid and an elaborate spoiler.

They are both powered by a 1.5L Twin Cam Engine with DVVT (3SZ-VE) which was used in the Perodua Alza (based on the Daihatsu Boon Luminas and Toyota Passo Sette), accumulating 102hp of power, and 136Nm of torque.

Verdict: If only Daihatsu and Toyota made hotter versions of the Passo and Boon...
