2021 Perodua Ativa 1.0T AV Review in Malaysia, Small in Size but Big on Wow Factor!! | WapCar

[@nickloong]

Those buying this SUV must seriously understand that this is a basic vehicle with very basic capabilities and should refrain from treating the power button like a nitrous engagement button. Lol!

[@chavezchavo]

Can already see how some owners are gonna abuse the Power button. Hahahaha

[@aaronbryan5095]

Unfortunately, Peroduas attract a lot very immature people that are stuck in the need for speed and fast and furious fantasy land.

[@metzmatu8409]

The car doesn't go fast with the power button, but it accelerates quicker by rev higher.

[@sputnikfreshie3601]

Basic vehicle? With all advanced safety features, basic vehicle is not a right word

[@WapCar]

Thank you!

[@valardohaeris6922]

Looking forward to watch Adria’s review. Very fair and square.

[@hishamosman4341]

For the price point alone, everything is forgiven. It's targeted for the middle income folks and city dwellers. No frills and no drama. You want refinement and everything else, look elsewhere. The overall whole package is good with adequate tech. 1 ltr turbo with 7 speed make up is a blessing. You are assured of smooth transmission and fuel saving, provided you don't drive like Sir Lewis Hamilton. All in all, Perodua has hit a home run with this model

[@miltonmiles6324]

The X variant is the best value for money in my opinion. Don't need the tacky infotainment system, and the digital dash is merely a gimmick for me. 16 inch wheels are also cheaper on the wallet.

[@loudcatcher13A]

why do reviewers keep comparing this to the x50? The x50 is in a completely different price bracket and of course with the difference in price comes with the difference in materials used in the cabin

[@TheZaman_]

They do need to compare with x50 because people want to compare it with x50.

[@goheng4337]

because x50 in same segment?

Becomes many ppl asking this same question. Should I cancel X50 And move to Ativa since x50 so long to arrived.

[@ru40342]

Went to test drive the Ativa and was really surprised at how small it is. Not sure why people keep comparing it to X50 coz the Ativa is much smaller than X50. Ativa's interior is even smaller than Myvi. Coming from my daily drivers of Saga and Myvi, I would say Ativa's ride quality is in between the two. It is definitely not as bad as Myvi but not quite Proton level. The refinement is definitely there compared to past Perodua cars. However, there are still alot of hard plastic that we expect. Sitting in the Ativa didn't give me a wow and I didn't feel that I am sitting in a more luxurious car. Ativa's power is similar to Myvi so you get alot of power from 0-30 and then the acceleration slows down considerably. It does not compare to the X50 in terms of power and acceleration. Overall, II personally don't think that Ativa is not a direct competitor of X50, but a direct competitor of Myvi and the big 3 Japanese B segment cars (Almera, vios, City). I don't see how the Ativa can compare to X50 in any objective category except for fuel consumption and maintenance fees (and road tax ofc). Put it this way: if you want a more refined Myvi, get the Ativa. If you want a more luxurious Ativa, get the X50.

[@alexkew8736]

Their price also justify their level in between, fair enough

[@syukridesa]

Soon Proton will produce a car on par of german car..people will still comparing with Perodua

[@djtan3313]

Well done, sir!

[@FATEH2708]

Ativa and x50 is compareable because they are both suv ! Most cheapest suv in malaysia.. get it?

[@Rekaus]

agreed, many still comparing it against x50, me having sat on ativa gave me the same feeling as you, no wow factor , just another taller myvi with full on plastics. what is nice is the ASA and probably headlights.

[@xmenlingcheehuat0811]

Based on the latest definition regarding Level 2 Autonomous driving from SAE, the adaptive cruise control and lane-centering is enough to claim as Level 2. I thought you are correct at first, but when I research for it, Ativa is eligible to claim that it's capable of Level 2 autonomous driving.

[@kevinyong7087]

Went for Test drive n booked an H 2 days later. Easy to drive n the engine vibe not much different from the 4 cyl we are used to. Body rigidity n roll is acceptable.

Almera is more refined because of the engine mounts they use

It is quite obvious that the rear seat is quite small and does not entirely support your leg. I can forgive that if it is a Axia or Bezza but this is a bigger car.

Hi Adrian, as usual your commendable reviews on vehicles is very through but let me add one point to your comment on the full size spare tyre at 4.35 as i had the experience of accidentally running over a metal shard lying on the road and from it looked like a fallen leaf, until it was too late. NO tyre repair kit can solve the tear to the side wall and it was immediate deflation! So luckily my car (2008 toyota rush) was equipped with a standard tyre, so i was able to change the tyre and have the ruined tyre changed. ! so please all car manufacturers pleezzze fit out a spare be it an emergency type or with standard rim!!!

[@metzmatu8409]

Agree, good point.👍

[@ninehneh]

@@nomnom584 i think one of the reason of a full sized spare is that knowing the sizing is a bit odd, so at least you got a proper spare to rotate and not a temporary tyre.

Power button added caused car power too low. Once u notice lack of power when overtake easy for u to activate it . To boost the engine to the max .

[@metzmatu8409]

Not power too low. Normal mode is tune for fuel economy, with power mode the car will rev little higher and goes for the fuel consumption.

[@WapCar]

Power Mode sharpens the throttle response for a speedier response, doesn't add more power 😄

It's kind of downgrade if you replace your Mazda 2 skyactiv with Ativa 😂 As a Almera Turbo owner, I urge you to test drive the all new Almera as well ya, you will probably impress by how quiet, how refined and how effortless to pick up in town, compare to other B segment car at similar price range. Ativa on the other hand, I felt that the engine noise is significant louder and rougher compare to my car, and I recall that Mazda 2 have better overall refinement compare to Ativa. In summary, Ativa have one of the best features and specs in its price range, but when comes to overall refinement, you can't expect too much 😊
