Myvi Generations Overview
Perodua Myvi Gen1 (2005–2011): 1.0L or 1.3L EJ-VE/EJ-DE — timing belt (replace every 100k km). Gen2 (2011–2017): 1.0L/1.3L 1KR/2NR with improved safety. Gen3 (2018–present): completely redesigned on Daihatsu DNGA platform — 1.3L 2NR-VE (G/X variants) or 1.5L 2NR-FKE (H variant), D-CVT, timing chain (no replacement), ASA 2.0 or 3.0, up to 6 airbags on H. Gen3 is the most safety-equipped and refined. Key: Gen1 needs timing belt replacement (check history); Gen3 has timing chain (maintenance-free if oil changed regularly).
