Singapore Gets the New Myvi for SGD65K-SGD70K
Perodua has officially started exporting and selling the 3rd-generation Myvi in Singapore. They launched the vehicle there on Saturday (13th April 2019) with their sole authorised Singaporean distributor, Perocom Auto. This Myvi was launched locally in late 2017 and has sold over 110,000 units since then.
Singapore will be the new Myvi’s first export destination. Perodua already exports these to Indonesia, but they are sold as the Daihatsu Sirion there.
Only 2 options are being offered, the Myvi 1.3
The Myvi 1.3 X AT comes with these key features.
- Auto Start Stop
- 4 Airbags (front and side for front occupants)
- Steering-mounted audio controls
- Front parking sensors
- Hill Start Assist
- Folding Wing Mirrors
- Bluetooth Audio

The Myvi 1.5 H AT adds these:
- 1.5L Dual
VVTi petrol engine - Goodyear Assurance Triplemax tyres
- 15″ 5 double spoke dual tone alloy rims
- Built-in Toll Reader
This means the base model Myvi 1.3 G MT and AT as well as the full-spec Myvi 1.5 Advance AT models are not being offered there.

Press release:

The launch event was held last Saturday at Perocom Auto Pte Ltd’s outlet in Ubi, attracting some 250 customers.

The number of new cars registered in Singapore varies a fair amount from year to year, numbering 80,281 units in 2018, 91,922 in 2017, 87,504 in 2016 and 57,589 in 2015, according to Land Transport Authority (LTA) statistics.

“The Perodua Myvi has been very well received by Malaysians, and the enthusiasm has also found its way to Singapore, where there is a niche yet loyal cult following eagerly awaiting the arrival of the third-generation model,” said Perocom Auto Pte Ltd Managing Director Mr John Ng.
