The Perodua Myvi minimum fuel consumption is 4.5 L/100km (22.2 km/L) on the 1.3L variants, and the Perodua Myvi maximum fuel consumption is 4.7 L/100km (21.3 km/L) on the 1.5L variants, both measured on the ECE combined cycle with D-CVT transmission and Eco Idle. Real-world Klang Valley owners report 13-15 km/L in city traffic and 17-20 km/L on highway cruising, putting the Myvi among the most fuel-efficient B-segment hatchbacks sold in Malaysia. All current variants are EEV-certified, run on RON 95, and carry a 35-litre fuel tank.
Perodua Myvi Fuel Consumption by Variant (2026)
| Variant | Engine | Transmission | Official L/100km | Official km/L |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.3 G | 1.3L Dual VVT-i (NR-series) | D-CVT | 4.5 | 22.2 |
| 1.3 G with PSDA | 1.3L Dual VVT-i (NR-series) | D-CVT | 4.5 | 22.2 |
| 1.5 X | 1.5L Dual VVT-i (2NR-VE) | D-CVT | 4.7 | 21.3 |
| 1.5 H (A.S.A. 2.0) | 1.5L Dual VVT-i (2NR-VE) | D-CVT | 4.7 | 21.3 |
| 1.5 AV (A.S.A. 2.0) | 1.5L Dual VVT-i (2NR-VE) | D-CVT | 4.7 | 21.3 |
Pre-2022 Myvi units with the 4-speed automatic posted 5.6-6.1 L/100km (16.4-17.9 km/L). The D-CVT facelift dropped the official figure by roughly 20% across the line, which is the largest single-generation efficiency jump in the Myvi’s twenty-year production history.

How the D-CVT and Eco Idle Cut Myvi Fuel Consumption
The Perodua Myvi achieves its current fuel figures through three engineering choices that together replaced the old 4-speed automatic generation:
- D-CVT (Dual-mode CVT) uses a belt-driven CVT for part-throttle city driving and a direct-drive gear for high-load highway cruising. The dual-mode design avoids the inefficiency of a pure CVT under full load and the inefficiency of a fixed-ratio automatic at light throttle.
- Eco Idle cuts the engine during prolonged stationary idling, traffic lights, drive-through queues, school pickup lines. Owner data suggests this saves 1-2% in real-world city use depending on idle frequency.
- EEV certification and lightweight body (1,025-1,090 kg kerb weight) keep the load on the engine low. The Myvi is among the lightest hatchbacks in its segment.
PWR and S modes are available for overtaking and uphill load, at the cost of 1-2 km/L for the duration of use. The onboard fuel consumption display lets drivers track their real-time figures and adjust style accordingly.
Real-World Myvi Fuel Consumption, What Owners Actually Report
Official ECE cycle figures are useful as a benchmark, but Klang Valley traffic and highway cruising deliver different numbers. Owner data across the 1.3L and 1.5L D-CVT variants:
- City (Klang Valley stop-go, AC on): 13-15 km/L for the 1.3L, 12-14 km/L for the 1.5L
- Highway (90-110 km/h cruise): 18-20 km/L for the 1.3L, 17-19 km/L for the 1.5L
- Mixed (typical commute): 14-17 km/L for the 1.3L, 13-16 km/L for the 1.5L
The 1.5L drinks roughly 1 km/L more than the 1.3L in city use, but the gap closes on highway where the larger engine sits at a lower D-CVT ratio. PWR mode aggressive driving can drop real-world figures to 10-11 km/L; long highway runs at 90 km/h with cruise control can push real-world figures above 22 km/L.
How the Perodua Myvi Compares to Competitors
Against the B-segment hatchback class, the Myvi’s 4.5-4.7 L/100km official figures sit at or near the top of the petrol-only segment.
| Vehicle | Engine | Official L/100km |
|---|---|---|
| Perodua Myvi 1.3L D-CVT | 1.3L Dual VVT-i + Eco Idle | 4.5 |
| Perodua Myvi 1.5L D-CVT | 1.5L Dual VVT-i + Eco Idle | 4.7 |
| Perodua Axia 1.0L D-CVT | 1.0L 3-cyl + Eco Idle | 4.4 |
| Perodua Bezza 1.3L D-CVT | 1.3L Dual VVT-i | 4.5 |
| Proton Iriz 1.6L | 1.6L petrol | 6.5 |
| Honda City Hatchback 1.5 RS e:HEV | 1.5L hybrid | 3.6 |
The Axia beats the Myvi by 0.1 L/100km official, mostly through its smaller 1.0L 3-cylinder. The hybrid Honda City Hatchback e:HEV wins outright on the official cycle but at a substantially higher entry price. Among pure-petrol B-segment hatchbacks sold in Malaysia, the Myvi 1.3L is the official-cycle leader.

What Affects Real-World Myvi Fuel Economy
The gap between the official 4.5-4.7 L/100km and real-world 14-17 km/L is normal, ECE cycles are run on a chassis dyno under controlled conditions, while real-world driving adds traffic, AC load, tyre pressure and road grade. Owner-controllable factors that materially shift the number:
- AC compressor load: AC at full cold can drop real-world economy by 1-2 km/L. Climate control on Auto is more efficient than manual fan-3 full cold.
- Tyre pressure: Underinflated tyres by 5-7 PSI raise fuel use by 2-3%. The Myvi’s recommended pressure is 30-33 PSI front and rear depending on variant.
- Idle warm-up: Modern engines do not need extended warm-up. Drive off gently after 30 seconds and let the engine reach operating temperature under partial load.
- Roof racks and excessive load: Each 50 kg of unnecessary cargo raises fuel use by ~1%. Roof racks cost 5-10% in highway economy because of drag.
- Driving style: Hard acceleration and late braking are the largest single factor. Onboard fuel consumption display feedback helps most owners reduce their average by 1-2 km/L within a month of paying attention.
Regular maintenance, oil changes at Perodua-recommended intervals, air filter replacements, spark plug service, keeps the figures predictable across the ownership period.
Should You Buy a Myvi for Fuel Economy?
The Perodua Myvi 1.3L is among the cheapest fuel-cost-per-km cars sold new in Malaysia. At 14 km/L real-world city and RM 2.05/litre for RON 95, daily fuel cost on a 30 km commute lands at around RM 4.40. Annual fuel spend on 18,000 km of typical mixed driving lands at around RM 2,500, roughly half what a 1.6L sedan would cost on the same usage pattern.
The fuel economy is not the only reason to buy a Myvi, and not the only reason to skip one. For monthly financing scenarios, see our Perodua car loan calculator. For the full price-and-variant overview, the Myvi price page is the canonical reference.
