A facelift Perodua Myvi SE will be launch on the 10th October 2008. Eventhough it is not yet officially launched, the new Myvi has been available in showrooms the past week now.
I got to see on the road yesterday, notice the front design is a bit small with a large wheel base at the bottom. Other specifications new front and rear bumper, sideskirts, rear spoiler, new sports rims, blue outlined Optitron meter panel, chromed muffler tip, leather seats, and silver trim for center console.
On the interior, we can see that certain models have had their integrated stereo system replaced with a 2-DIN slot, filled with a 2-DIN player that is likely MP3 capable as a USB slot for thumbdrives or other USB-capable MP3 players can be seen. There is also a shot of a dashboard which shows a 6,800rpm redline: a new engine option?

Proton will start producing cars installing with NGV in this coming October. This option is available for types and models of Proton. CEO Datuk Syed Zainal Abidin said this move is to help reduce fuel price hike impact on car owners.
With the NGV pre-installed Protons we could expect much cheaper installation cost compared to other installers out there. Owners should expect better price with better warranty while maintaining better NGV installation finishes.
Although the move is quite late compare to Hyundai which recently announced an NGV kit for it’s Hyundai Accent model it is still a pretty much welcome option to have. We can also expect a Perodua NGV pre-installed kit / production soon. Perodua cars known for its fuel efficiency but an NGV kits owners will have more extra money in their pockets.
They are some talks on Proton Hybrid, but the initiative is remain to be seen in near future.
Any car owners with NGV installed, what is the cost for your NGV installation?
Today i have got some pictures and i think it is now buzzing around in the internet. There are now much of aftermarket part for MYVI i we think it is not going to make any huge impact. But it is still kinda nice.
To the feeder, thanks for the pic.
