The Perodua Myvi has received a significant safety boost and a striking new body colour for 2020 and is now available for booking at all Perodua showrooms nationwide.

In a statement today, it said the range-topping 1.5 AV was previously the only variant with the Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) suite of driver assistance safety systems.

Now, the more advanced version, ASA 2.0, is standard on variants 1.5 AV and 1.5 H and optional on the 1.3 X and was priced between RM41,000 to RM53,000.

"With the inclusion of ASA 2.0, the Perodua Myvi takes advanced safety to a whole new level at this price point, and it's now more widely available within the line-up," said Perodua president and chief executive officer (CEO) Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad.

"The latest Myvi carries on the Perodua tradition of bringing advanced safety technology to the people by making it affordable and accessible to all," he added.

The national carmaker said the Myvi is available in electric blue for all variants, while other available colours are ivory white, glittering silver, lava red and granite grey for all variants except for the 1.3 G model.

ASA debuted on the third-generation Perodua Myvi in 2017, comprising pre-collision warning (up to 30 km/h), pre-collision braking (up to 30 km/h), front departure alert and pedal misoperation control, all of which work together to mitigate collisions.
