Hi guys,

I am planning to get the new Myvi 1.5 Adv. I would just like to know how is the fuel consumption. Is it good for city drive?

1) How much is Full tank
2) How many KM can you get with 1 full tank.

Thanks guys

City drive if you drive like me, 11-12km/l MAX. Long distance highway cruise about 16km/l.

I tried hypermiling for a tank of fuel (mixure of highway and city), got 18km/l but it was suffering like hell to drive

Dun just think of the FC, think of the safety aspect of the car.

Do more research on the car & compare it with the cars of its price range .............

Keyword = safety

It puzzled me ppl,still ask such Q? Driver A who redline each and every time and driver B who is a road hogger ! The FC the same meh?

Dear TS.
If FC is such a high priority. Get a lower CC. If it were me i would had gone for Bezza 1.0L Gx. Perfect car to get you to poibt A to Point B.
If you wanted the Myvi 1.5L im sure its because of all the gadgets and "amazing, super high tech expensive " Brothers-like Perodua approved accessories.

1) Myvi fuel tank capacity is 36L.

2) I've done 2,000 km mileage. I average 16-17 km/l. I expect it to be better as time goes by. My daily commute is 60% highway & 40% city roads. Average 28 km mileage daily. On highway speed is approximately 90 km/h & RPM is slightly above 2,000.

3) You want good FC, go Hybrid. My Prius averages 27 km/l.

Hi TS,

Good day.
You may refer here to get some insight with FC for 2018 myvi:

http://www.fuelly.com/car/perodua/myvi/201...bmodel_id=76991


Lowest that I can see is 12km/L (Suspect city driving)
Mixed can yield 14~15km/L
Best can get 17km/L.

If your really want to save fuel, maybe u can check axia.

Hope this helps

Pls define normal income. For me normal income in klang Valley is within RM6k-7k....i drove Axia, Myvi, City etc...

If possible, avoid Axia at all. Its handling is not fun at all... But of course, its better than taking public transport such as bus to office

Nothing wrong with Axia actually. I myself is driving Axia E Spec.
Bezza is actually an Axia with longer boot. Though Axia if fold the seats can give substantial boot space increase. That's IMO.

But the real reason why I just suggest a Bezza because TS originally asked about Myvi 1.5. Bezza 1.0 is like a downgraded option but more practical for his requirements. Unless he is willing to accept a decently smaller boot of Axia.

Accesories wise, I only suspect both Axia G Spec and Bezza 1.0Gx may offer similar level of accessories.

It depends on TS choice. Personally I always feel accessories is nothing but over inflated priced accessories.

that is the trade off u take when opting for a got fc

rm80 for 100+km is wayy too thirsty bro (or too general)

For city drive or even to occasionally to outstations, can consider the 1.3 instead of gunning for the highest fully loaded 1.5 spec if having concern on FC. Even for the new Myvi 1.3 is considered features loaded & can save a few more drops of fuel.

ya this. 1.3 is good enough if ts concern about fc.

on highway cruising yes 1.5 will have a slightly better fc..but still negligible especially cruising around 100-110kmh. more than than even 1.5 (1.3 even worse) will suffer. and we're comparing 1.0 bezza 1.3 myvi and 1.5 myvi. from your experience, 1.5 vs 2.0.

For city driving if TS is referring to KL (or KV) what car to drive will suffer in term of FC (however, I am not sure about those full hybrid cars but again, those are not cheap in prices!). But, if TS wants a new car model with fully loaded features within the budgeted attractive price range then Myvi 1.3 will prevail over the 1.5 the older sibling I would say. In term of practicality wise with even a much positive FC outcome with boot space, then new Bezza will come into the scene, other wise if just needing a car yielding good FC from point A to B best bet will be a new Axia.

any petrol will do just fine. only 10% difference lor...

Please justify your facts that Axia lifespan is lower than Myvi.
You are so gonna get flamed from Axia owners. There is one Grab driver uses it . 250K mileage still running. Haven't gone to the scrap yard yet. You can check it out at LYN Axia owners club forum.

And you said Axia cannot go outstation. That means strictly cannot go Johor / Penang. Correct? Wrong.

Fyi, my Axia (and it's not my only car at home) has gone to Genting and PD (Yada yada, you might say , not considered outstation / not far enough to classfied as one) with my wife and 2 kids. I could had taken my Exora outstation. 7 seater with way more boot space and more comfortable than Myvi, right? But I decided to try it out for a change. And I was satisfied.

Underpowered? I went up to 140km/h and got a speeding Saman from PDRM.
I went up Genting and it was a blast revving the VVTI engine uphill (and mine is manual). 60-70kmh on 2nd gear and the 3 cylinder engine sings and hauls load without breaking a sweat.

This ain't your grandfather's Kancil 660 engine.

Enough said. I will let others decide.

I use BHP 97. If no choice then I'll go for Caltex or Petron.

Lots of factors affect our FC such as the routes we take, our driving style, any mods done to car & etc.

Car mileage done is now 2300 km. My FC is approx 15.5 km/l.

When I took the car I changed stock 185/55 tyres to 195/55. I think my FC would be slightly better if remain stock size.

Hahaha...just listen to your heart (& pocket) & you won't be wrong on the current new Myvi purchase if it is only Myvi is your choice. Whether is 1.5 or 1.3, the latter will yield better FC!

Already got my Myvi 1.5 advance for one week+

No regrets. Was driving an Axia advance before this

FC slightly higher but I already modified my car kao kao so I don't really bother

I am currently using BHP Ron 97 too. Smooth and powerful with my throttle controller installed

not bad lar overall
full tank can goes around 450km
ok lor wat else u want expected

Can layan every corner 120kmh like your Axia?

LOL. Maybe 140 km/h now

In terms of performance, BHP is the best

Mileage don't really bother. I think my full tank is less than 300 km for Ron 97

Fuel tank is small so it's ok for me

Also mine is 100% KL PJ jam and full blast air con so normal

"Normal income is RM 6-7k in KL" .. hahahaha

I think he drives city for RM 6-7k income

Bezza is in a smaller car category compared to Myvi. It is essentially an Axia with a boot added.

^ Indeed. Bezza is an A-segment sedan while Myvi is a B-segment hatchback.

As mentioned by another, the engine displacement for Bezza is 998cc - 1329cc while the Myvi goes from 1329cc - 1496cc.
Wheelbase for Bezza is 2455mm and Myvi is 2500mm. Although I don't think wheelbase measurement is used to determine the car segment, but at least this more or less denotes, Myvi is indeed the "bigger" car than Bezza.

In terms of refinement, I think Myvi triumphs over the Bezza as well.

wrong.
axia fc can stretch up to 22km/L. but up to your preferences then

My 1st choice BHP, 2nd Caltex..

Others like petron petronas shell, I will try to avoid

when we are talking about power:

i) How is the difference between acceleration? top speed? how fast can you gain?
ii) For FC, how much % can u save when using primax compared to other fuel.


anecdotal experience is the weakest proof.

Very obvious right? there are several thread have similar post about how good their product is.

I actually prefer Auto Start stop which doesnt use the Starter motor. And there is a few non hybrid cars which doesnt use Starter motor for Auto Idle start stop.

- Honda IMA engine. Uses the semi hybrid motor to start the engine.
- Nissa Serena Hybrid ; it uses a 2-in-1 alternator + starter motor. Engine does most of the work.
- mazda I stop. Uses some small amount of fuel for starting. If combine with i-eloop even better.

Why cant Merc and Bmw copy the micro hybrid from Nissan rather than frequently use the starter motor.
While i welcome the Auto Start stop but car manufacturers should think of ways not using the starter motor.

Why cannot? Have money, can pump RON 97 lor

Yes, it is an Axia with a boot. But the boot space is double the size of Myvi. 508 Litre. And the seats can be folded also.
wheelbase is just a mere 5mm shorter than Myvi. Although width, Myvi wins.
Lenght wise, bezza is much longer. But its better to look at the wheel base.

So for those who is looking for boot space as priority, its the Bezza.

To me, i dont really care its a A,B,C,D segment car.
So if you say Bezza is a much smaller car, i say, its not substantially smaller than Myvi, looking at the wheelbase lenght.

Sitting inside, it's pretty clear which one is the bigger car.

Honda City 2014. Caltex with Techron and BHP with 2x addictive and Euro 2-3 petrol quality.

I've a better question. So is there a significant difference using RON97 vs RON95 for this new MYVI?

Since this MYVI 2018 utilises a 1.5L 2NR-VE running at 11.5:1 compression ratio, which is considered high.
RON97 would OR should burn more effectively in this engine right?

Compared to the old MYVI running 1.5L 3SZ-VE which has a 10:1 compression ratio. I was like.. what?? the actual?? frick??

Like why does the old MYVI have such a low compression ratio, and our Malaysians mentality to put RON97 into the engine. Obviously the old MYVI will suffer, as it's trying harder to burn the fuel.

As for the new MYVI, the high compression engine should theoretically work fine and show better result with the higher compression RON97?

wanna save fuel buy BMW I8... 50KM/L

Does not matter u use RON 95 or 97, your spark plug will still burn the fuel. Higher octane number is only to combat pre-mature burning which can cause engine knock. In high performance engine which runs very hot, recommended to use highest octane possible.

Your engine have something called a knock sensor to adjust your ignition timing and this can cause power loss.

10:1 is not low compression ... people modding their vehicle with forced induction will lower that even to 8:1

Yes obviously lower compression ratio isn't necessarily worse. But those "better" low compression engines you mentioned, have force inductions. So there's still more pressure/boost in generated to compensate for the lower rating of compression the engine has. The RON97 is still utilised to its optimum state here.

My thought was that, it's already proven an engine with a compression ratio like that of the older Myvi 10:1, uses more energy to effectively reach the detonation point of the fuel. Hence you effectively waste money for RON97 on the old Myvi and no significant horsepower increment.
(I think paultan or another Malaysian channel tested it)
(And somehow was it a Kia or Volks effectively uses RON97, saves more money and increase HP, compared to RON95)


Then there's my question, am wondering if RON97 will effectively save you fuel money and increase engine power in the newer 2NR-VE of the Myvi 2018? Since it's running a higher compression ratio.

Don't bring in those knocking sensors all. Irrelevant. That's for lower compression ratio topics. Now we're in the 11:1 ratio topic. MYVI 2018, WAWASAN 2020. RON97 should be well optimised at this compression ratio range, shouldn't it? Just answer

I hate to say this: Want to save even more fuel.
Buy a Nissan Leaf - 3/4 the price of the BMW i8 and zero fuel.

Lets use the older 2NR-FE as a reference, since the VE is just a mere upgrade. It has the same 11:5 compression as the 2NR-VE.

This is what the manual says for Toyota Yaris 2NR-FE engine (US Market):



I believe Toyota engineers must have thoroughly designed the engine piston, exhaust,ignition timing, and possibly valve timing, to have high compression ratio yet reduced knocking , on RON 91 even, for US markets and some countries.

I'm also quoting from Mazda Skyactiv reference, on how they achieve such high compression yet requiring regular octane (RON 91 for US ) to prevent Knocking.
https://www.mazda.com/en/innovation/technol...tiv/skyactiv-g/

Presumably there is no engine knocking using RON 95 (I know you hate to hear this), it means the engine ignition timing would had been maxed (advance) out or optimized . So when you use RON 97 on a maxed out ignition timing tune for a RON 91 ignition map, I doubt there will be any difference in "horsepower".

Again, let me make it clear. Knocking sensors exist for a reason. Regardless low compression or super high compression, its there to listen for any knock for the ECU to max out the ignition timing.

The only way to prove it whether RON 97 works better on a 2NR-VE engine, is on the dyno, together with the OBD reading. To see whats the timing advance during WOT. Otherwise on normal ,sane driving, meaning no WOT, RON 97 would hardly benefit for improved fuel economy.

You are welcome to try since now the RON 97 fuel price is at a low RM 1.55/L.

Great explanation. Love it. Pleased to let you know, I did try the RON97. But something terrible happened after that.

Myvi '18 had this notorious fuel pump issue. So I'm not sure if it was a coincidence, or it's related. My engine just ceased to run at a traffic light one week later. Never asked Perodua if was due to the fuel (very unlikely), but was too obvious to be a coincidence.

Nevertheless, Perodua changed the Fuel Pump from the defective Indonesia variant to Japan variant for free within 12 hours.

Anyways serviced my car at 10,000km, back on RON95 and I'm doing like 90-100km per fuel bar. There's 8 bars.
I'm doing frigging 720km-800km on a full tank. WTF

Heavy foot most of the time. Will go to 160kmh but tend to keep car below 120kmh where "ECO" light is on. Always downshift so my RPM is 2000-4000

I believe that its absolute pure coincidence . Nothing gotta do with RON 97 .
(Really, if RON 97 can caused fuel pump issue, what about the millions of RON 95 users).

regarding about this quote:

I strongly recommend you do not rely on "KM per fuel bar". Rather you should use the FC meter at the dashbopard "KM/L" as a correct judgement. And do not rely also on the "KM Distance to go" meter. That one can be off by 30KM depending on measurement.
Fuel bars are only for indication; they are not to be used as measurement.

Good point actually. When the car was new, I tend to keep my tank above the half point. It's been almost 3 years with this car. I think I've been scammed a little by the fuel bars like you said. Toyota cars are usually never like this. The fuel bars are proportional to the mileage left. In the Myvi, as the fuel bar drops below the half mark, the mileage drops significantly per fuel bar. Almost like ONE FUEL BAR = 40-60km only, and not 100km.

Now that I do burn through a full tank on the Myvi occasionally, I think it roughly does around 350 - 450km total mileage at best.
350km being more on City Drive (FC suffers, around 10-14km/l)
450km if more highways are driven (FC around 16-18km/l)

Rarely achieved the claimed 22km/l FC by Perodua even around the ECO range
Usually maintain speed below the 120km/h where ECO is still on. 140km/h is still pretty good with FC around 16km/l, and I tend to let my foot off the throttle a lil and let momentum do it's thing.

Top speed 186km/h I've recorded with Waze, going down to JB from KL

You might have a symptom that we would like to call "golden leg". Hehehe.jk

Is it a Myvi with a 1.5L engine?

Exactly 2 years later, post bumped

If you want the best FC you have to maintain 90-100km/h on the highway.
And I know how it feels for a heavy footer like myself, trying to refrain from speeding.

Recently I went on a trip to Penang with my Exora Turbo. Known for high FC in city driving, but as I kept my speed within 90-100 speed range, my FC meter clocked 7.3L/100KM (thats 13.7Km/L) as I clocked the first 150KMs. Beating Proton's original claim of 7.8L/100KM.
Also thanks to BHP Petrol for giving such good FC.

Ahaha yes 1.5L by the way. I go pretty heavy at times tho. I know for certain around 140km/h it gives CFC reading of about 14-16km/l for sure

You're not wrong. Have to be in the eco range and 90-100km/h is the best I guess.

At this point I don't trust any of these BHP claims of better FC and stuff. It's all petrol for Najib's sake XD. The oil all comes from the same oil rig for Petronas, Shell, all.
Just addictive inside for engine cleaning etc. Want to save money.... Use RON95 instead of RON97 je.
