What does it take for a carmaker to be No.1?  Perodua, Malaysia’s second automaker, recently knocked the dominant Proton off its perch to claim the top spot at home. Those of you who aren’t too familiar with how this happened might be thinking - “Wow! That must’ve cost billions for them to be able to accomplish that.”We’re not saying it didn’t cost them a pretty penny either. Instead of spending loads of cash on design, engineering, research & development, Perodua’s tactic was simply to badge engineer their cars. What this means is that Perodua’s cars aren’t of their own making. In a nutshell, badge engineering means one carmaker takes models from another manufacturer they’ve signed a contract with, slightly alter the interiors, slap their own badges onto the body and presto - you get the same product (perhaps with differing equipment levels) under a different brand name. So Perodua took the Daihatsu Sirion, slightly changed the interior and rebadged it as the Myvi.

The Myvi then went on to sell so well, that it made Perodua the top-selling brand in the Malaysian market. To begin with, the Myvi is a rather squarish looking four-door hatchback. This is by no means a bad thing, since the squarish shape does indicate that in practical terms, there is bound to be lots of interior space. At 3,750mm long, the Myvi happens to be a good 175mm longer than its Viva sibling. And with a width of 1,665mm, parking the Myvi should also be a breeze. The Myvi’s flared wheel arches dwarf the dainty (but cute looking) 14-inch wheels and tyres – the car could easily accommodate a set of wider and grippier tyres, which would give it a more planted stance. The wide front and rear bumpers with lower lips give the car a more substantial look, but without making the Myvi seem aggressive. No roof spoiler here though – that’s only standard on the range-topping variants. Also present are the turn-signal lamps which have been integrated into the wing mirrors. 

The vertically stacked tail-lamps look neat and trim - we like that kind of simplicity in cars like these.

In the 3.15pm incident, the 23-year-old victim, identified as Regina Odongo, died at the scene due to serious injuries. Nilai Fire and Rescue Department Operations chief Bahrin Ayub Ghazali said initial investigations revealed the incident occurred when the car encountered a tyre problem. “The car was (initially) on the middle lane. As it was heading towards the emergency lane, the car was rammed from behind by a Proton Exora.” Due to the impact, Bahrin said the Proton Exora car burst into flames – but passersby managed to rescue the driver. “It took us five minutes to put out the fire,” he said, adding that both the drivers suffered injuries and were sent to the Tuanku Jaafar Hospital in Seremban for treatment.

Available in both 1.3L and 1.5L forms as well as manual and automatic options, the Myvi has been the de-facto default car suitable for all walks of life.

It is large enough that it is practical, it’s response is quick and since the car is light, it feels like it can shoot out of any tight situations with ease. Over the years, Perodua has facelifted the Myvi and also upgrading it’s engine to the newer 1.5L. This makes the Myvi a good all rounder at an affordable price.

Width195 indicates the section width of a tyre in millimetres.Aspect Ratio65 is a tyre’s aspect ratio which is its height from the base of the tread to the rim. This number represents a percentage of the tread width. For example, the height of this tyre is 65% of its width. Low profile tyres have smaller aspect ratio percentages.Tyre ConstructionR means that the tyre has radial ply construction, meaning the way in which it has been constructed. Most passenger tyres are constructed this way so you will rarely find a car tyre without an R.Rim15 indicates the diameter of the wheel rim. So if you are buying wheels for existing tyres, this is the size in inches you will require.Load & Speed91 V is a symbol that indicates the maximum load capacity and speed at which a tyre can be safely operated, subject to the tyre being in sound condition, correctly fitted and with the recommended inflation pressure.SpeedSymbolRating (Km/h)EFGJKLMNPQRSTUHVWYZ708090100110120130140150160170180190200210240270300240+LoadIndexMax Load/Tyre (kg)8384858687888990919293949596979899487500515530545560580600615630650670690710730 750775Complete Load Index TableODOverall Diameter of the unloaded tyre in mmType DefinitionRFTRRFTMOERBTOWTRWTLWTTLRun Flat TechnologyRepairable Run Flat TechnologyMercedes Original Equipment ExtendedRaised Black Letters TubelessOutline White Letters TubelessRaised White Letters TubelessLine White TubelessTubelessBridgestone Run-Flat Technology (RFT)With regular tyres, a puncture generally means you lose steering control.
