Q

What is the boot space capacity of the Perodua Myvi?

If you're in the Malaysian market for a practical, budget-friendly B-Segment SUV, the Perodua Ativa is definitely one to check out – especially if you're a young family or first-time buyer looking to maximize value without breaking the bank. Under the hood, you've got a peppy 1.0L turbocharged engine paired with a D-CVT gearbox, and let me tell you, the fuel economy is a real standout here – 4.7L/100km according to the official figures. That makes it perfect for zipping around the city. What really sets it apart in its class, though, is the standard ASA 3.0 advanced safety suite, which includes pre-collision warning and lane keep assist – solid safety kit you don't always see as standard in this segment. Size-wise, it's compact on the outside, but Perodua has done a nice job optimizing the interior space. The rear seats fold 60:40, so you get decent flexibility when you need to haul more stuff. Now, if we're talking competitors, the Ativa's trump cards are Perodua's well-established after-sales network and generally lower maintenance costs. But let's be real – if you're craving more power or a plusher interior, you might need to stretch that budget a bit. My advice? Head down to a dealership, take it for a spin, and see if it fits your daily needs. Oh, and keep an eye out for promotions – Perodua often runs deals like free service packages or low-interest financing, which can sweeten the deal even more.

Q
What mileage for MYVI spark plugs?
According to Perodua's official recommendation, the mileage for replacing the spark plugs of the Myvi is usually between 40,000 and 60,000 kilometers. The specific interval depends on the type of spark plugs used in the vehicle and the driving conditions. The original equipment generally comes with ordinary nickel - alloy spark plugs. If you upgrade to iridium or platinum spark plugs, the replacement interval can be extended to 80,000 - 100,000 kilometers. It's worth noting that if you often experience difficulties with cold starts, unstable idling, or an abnormal increase in fuel consumption, it may be a sign of spark plug aging, and you need to have them checked in advance. The hot and humid climate in Malaysia can accelerate the wear of spark plug electrodes. It is recommended to check the condition of the spark plugs during regular maintenance. At the same time, use original or equivalent - quality accessories that meet the specifications of the Myvi engine (such as the heat range). Inferior spark plugs may lead to a decrease in ignition efficiency and even damage the ignition coil. For the turbo - charged Myvi X version, since the engine operates at a higher temperature, it is recommended to shorten the replacement cycle by about 20% to ensure optimal performance.

For example, frequent rapid acceleration or driving in congested urban areas can significantly increase fuel consumption. It is recommended that car owners regularly check the tire pressure, replace the air filter, and use the recommended engine oil to optimize fuel economy. Additionally, the Myvi has a fuel tank capacity of 36 liters, and theoretically, it can have a cruising range of about 600 kilometers when the tank is full. For car owners who want to save more fuel, they can try some economical driving techniques such as smooth acceleration and anticipating road conditions to reduce sudden braking. These methods are applicable to all fuel - powered vehicles, which can not only reduce the cost of using the car but also reduce mechanical wear.

Q
How many cylinders are in the MYVI?
As one of the most popular national cars in Malaysia, the engine configurations of the Perodua Myvi vary according to different years and versions. Currently, the mainstream models are equipped with two types of Dual VVT - i four - cylinder naturally aspirated engines, namely the 1.3L (1NR - VE) and 1.5L (2NR - VE). Therefore, all Myvi models feature a four - cylinder design. This four - cylinder layout ensures smooth power delivery while taking fuel economy into account, making it highly suitable for the urban road conditions in Malaysia. It's worth mentioning that four - cylinder engines, due to their simple structure and low maintenance costs, are widely used in B - segment models in the local market. For example, the Proton Saga and Honda City also adopt a similar layout. The 1.5L version of the Myvi can output 102 horsepower and 136 Nm of torque. Coupled with its lightweight body design, it can offer a well - balanced performance whether driving on the congested streets of Kuala Lumpur or cruising on the highway. For readers who want to learn about engine technology, they can note that the Dual VVT - i system used in the Myvi can intelligently adjust the valve timing. This technology shared by Toyota helps to improve fuel efficiency by about 15%. That's why the Myvi has remained one of the most fuel - efficient cars in Malaysia for years.

Q
What kind of gearbox is Myvi?
The Myvi is equipped with a Dual Mode CVT (D-CVT) transmission, which is a dual-mode continuously variable transmission. Compared with traditional CVT transmissions, it has an additional gear for high-speed driving, which helps the vehicle achieve better fuel efficiency. In daily driving, this transmission drives the vehicle in CVT mode. Thanks to the operation of the steel belt, the vehicle moves smoothly and linearly, enhancing comfort. What makes the D-CVT special is that it automatically switches to the gear mode when driving at high speeds. Different from CVT transmissions of other brands, when driving at high speeds, the engine speed of vehicles with ordinary CVT transmissions will increase, the engine noise will get louder, and the fuel consumption will rise. Moreover, the power will decline after exceeding the maximum horsepower speed. However, after the gear of the D-CVT engages, the engine speed decreases, allowing the engine to maintain a reasonable speed and providing the vehicle with continuous and abundant power.

Q
Does Myvi use CVT?
Yes, the Perodua Myvi does use CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) technology in some models, especially the newer ones. For instance, the third-generation Myvi, launched in 2017, and its subsequent versions are equipped with D-CVT (Dual Mode Continuously Variable Transmission) to offer a smoother driving experience and better fuel efficiency. CVT technology optimizes engine performance through continuously variable gear ratios. Compared with traditional automatic transmissions, it can adapt to driving conditions more flexibly, thereby enhancing overall driving comfort. However, earlier Myvi models may have used a traditional 4-speed automatic transmission. So, whether a specific model is equipped with a CVT needs to be confirmed based on the model year and configuration. For Malaysian consumers, the advantages of CVT lie in its smoothness and fuel - saving performance during city driving, which is very suitable for the common local traffic conditions. But if you're looking for more direct power feedback, some drivers may prefer the manual transmission version. If you're considering buying a Myvi, it's recommended to check the official specifications or consult a dealer to confirm the transmission type. You can also take a test drive to see if the actual performance of the CVT meets your driving preferences.

Q
What are the disadvantages of the Volvo XC60?
Although the Volvo XC60 has many advantages, there are also some drawbacks. First of all, the maintenance costs are relatively high. Compared with some competing models, consumers have to bear a certain financial burden. Even with maintenance discount policies, the expenses are still quite significant. Secondly, the in - car noise problem is quite obvious. When driving at high speed, the loud noise will affect the comfort of both the driver and passengers. Moreover, the screen interface style is rather outdated, and the large screen may even freeze, which doesn't quite meet the current development needs of the era. In addition, some high - end features are only available on the top - of - the - line models, which limits consumers' configuration options to some extent. What's more, the length of the rear seat cushion is short, providing insufficient support for the legs of rear - seat passengers. Long - term sitting can easily lead to fatigue. Also, the central bulge in the rear row is large, which affects the riding experience of the middle passenger.
