Is Perodua Myvi CKD or CBU?

This helps to control the impact of tariffs on car prices, thereby increasing product competitiveness. And CBU (Completely Built-Up) refers to cars that are assembled abroad and then imported to the local market as complete, roadworthy vehicles. However, fully imported cars will be subject to high consumption taxes (60-105%), which will increase the final selling price.
