Perodua Myvi vs Proton Iriz
The Perodua Myvi and Proton Iriz are Malaysia’s two home-grown B-segment hatchbacks, and a natural cross-shop for buyers who want a compact, easy-to-park runabout with a nationwide service network and friendly running costs. The Myvi has long been the segment’s best-seller, prized for its space, resale and reliability; the Iriz pitches itself as the more engaging, better-handling alternative.
Both are practical five-door hatches in a similar price band, so the decision usually comes down to the Myvi’s all-round polish and resale strength versus the Iriz’s sharper driving feel, generous standard kit and Proton’s improved cabin quality.
Bottom line: Choose the Myvi for the safe all-rounder with the strongest resale and proven reliability; choose the Iriz if you want a more fun, better-equipped drive and don’t mind slightly higher running costs.
