Q
Are Myvi and vios the same engine?
Some models of the Myvi and the Vios use the same engine. Daihatsu and Perodua have a joint - venture engine production plant in Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia, which provides power for multiple models including the Vios. Some models of the Vios and the Myvi are equipped with the 1.5L Dual VVT - i engine. This engine features high efficiency, reliability, and economy. Although its power is not extremely strong (the official 0 - 100km/h acceleration time of the Myvi 1.5 is 10.2 seconds), its low fuel consumption and durability are well - loved by consumers. However, these two cars have different positioning and market targets. Even if they share the engine platform, there are differences in vehicle tuning, configuration, and the overall driving experience.
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.

Latest Q&A

Q
Is LDW same as full coverage?
LDW (Loss Damage Waiver) and Full Coverage are not the same concept, but LDW is usually an important component of Full Coverage. In Malaysia's auto insurance system, Full Coverage typically refers to a combination of Comprehensive Insurance and additional riders, covering vehicle losses caused by collisions, theft, natural disasters (if the natural disaster rider is selected), etc., and may also include third-party liability insurance. LDW, on the other hand, specifically refers to the waiver of the renter's financial liability for vehicle damage or theft in car rental scenarios. It is a specialized protection provided by car rental companies and does not involve third-party liability or medical compensation for occupants. It is worth noting that for local vehicle insurance in Malaysia to cover natural disasters such as floods, an additional Special Perils Coverage rider must be purchased, with premiums ranging from approximately 0.2% to 0.5% of the vehicle's insurance value. For instance, a vehicle valued at RM60,000 would incur an additional fee of RM120 to RM300. While Full Coverage offers broader protection, it comes with higher premiums, whereas LDW solely provides exemption from liability for physical damage to the vehicle in specific rental situations. The two differ fundamentally in their applicable scenarios and dimensions of coverage.
Q
How do I know if my Honda LDW is activated?
To confirm whether your Honda LDW (Lane Departure Warning System) is activated, follow these steps: First, check if the LDW icon is illuminated on the instrument cluster or central control screen—typically indicated by a green or white light when active. The activation method varies by model: most Honda vehicles can enable it through the steering wheel's left-side controls or the "Safety Assist Settings" menu on the infotainment display, while certain models require holding the dedicated LDW button (usually featuring a lane symbol) for 3 seconds after ignition. When activated, the system will issue warnings through steering wheel vibration, audible alerts, or dashboard flashes if the vehicle exceeds 60 km/h, detects clear lane markings, and drifts without turn signal activation. Note that operation may be automatically suspended during rain/fog, under intense glare, or with faded lane markings, indicated by a yellow warning light on the dashboard. As a driver assistance feature, LDW's sensitivity can be configured as "Standard" or "High" in settings, but it doesn't replace attentive driving—particularly on curves or work zones. Maintain regular cleaning of the windshield camera area for optimal performance. For persistent false alerts or system failures, consult an authorized Honda service center for diagnostics and calibration.
Q
Can a lane departure warning be turned off?
The Lane Departure Warning System can usually be temporarily deactivated through vehicle settings or physical buttons, with specific operation methods varying by model. For instance, some vehicles allow manual deactivation by navigating to the "Settings - Driver Assistance - Safety Assistance" menu via the central display, or by pressing the physical button marked with a lane symbol near the instrument cluster. Note that this deactivation is typically temporary, and the system may automatically reactivate upon vehicle restart. For permanent deactivation, contact an authorized service center for professional assistance. The system uses a camera to detect lane markings and alerts the driver via audible warnings, vibrations, or steering wheel interventions when unintentional lane departure is detected. This significantly reduces distraction-related lane departure risks, particularly on highways. However, the system may generate false alerts in cases of faded road markings, adverse weather conditions, or special driving scenarios (e.g., construction zones), making temporary deactivation advisable in such situations. Drivers are advised to keep the system enabled for safety and only deactivate it briefly when necessary.
Q
Are lane assist and lane departure the same?
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) are two distinct driving assistance systems. Although both are related to lane management, there are significant differences in their functions and levels of intervention. The Lane Departure Warning system monitors the vehicle's position via cameras or sensors. When it detects an unintended lane departure, it alerts the driver through auditory or visual cues, or steering wheel vibrations, but does not actively intervene in the vehicle's direction; the driver needs to make adjustments manually. The Lane Keeping Assist system goes a step further. Building upon the warning function, it can automatically apply slight steering force to fine-tune the steering wheel and guide the vehicle back to the center of the lane, achieving partial automated intervention. The core difference between the two lies in that LDW only provides passive warnings, while LKA has active correction capabilities. The latter is usually combined with advanced functions such as adaptive cruise control to form a more comprehensive driving assistance system. The choice depends on individual driving habits: if you prefer autonomous control, you may prioritize LDW; if you need to reduce operational burden, LKA is more suitable. It should be noted that these systems are auxiliary functions, and drivers still need to remain focused to ensure safety.
Q
What is the difference between LKAS & LDW?
Lane Departure Warning (LDW) and Lane Keeping Assist (LKA) are two common driving assistance technologies, with the main difference lying in the degree of functional intervention. LDW uses cameras or sensors to monitor the vehicle's relative position to lane markings. When it detects unintentional lane departure (such as crossing lane lines without activating the turn signal), it alerts the driver through auditory alerts, dashboard warnings, or steering wheel vibrations, but does not actively intervene in vehicle operation. LKA, building upon LDW, incorporates active control functionality. When the system detects lane deviation, it automatically applies slight corrective torque via the electronic steering system to maintain the vehicle within the lane center. Some advanced LKA systems additionally integrate traffic sign recognition capability, enabling simultaneous display of speed limit information. Note that both systems require clearly visible lane markings to function (typically at speeds above 60 km/h), and LKA's automatic correction features a torque threshold—intervention disengages when the driver applies significant steering input. While these technologies effectively mitigate lane departure accidents caused by fatigue or distraction, drivers must retain primary control of the vehicle.
