While the 1.3L variants can be delivered almost immediately, the 1.5L Myvi variants has a waiting period of around three months.
Perodua is working to improve its efficiency to ensure deliveries would be within an acceptable time frame, said Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd managing director Datuk Dr Zahari Husin.

The 55,560 sales consisted of 24,473 Myvis, 14,962 Axias, 10,101 Bezzas and 6,032 Alzas.In fact, 18% of all new cars registered in Malaysia in the first quarter of 2018 were Myvis.
The third-generation Myvi is the most sophisticated model in Perodua’s 25-year history, featuring Malaysian innovations such as a built-in toll card reader and digital memory air-con.
The Myvi also has a full 5-star Asean NCAP safety rating based on the latest protocol and is Malaysia’s most affordable car with active safety functions, courtesy of its Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) systems.
