Perodua Ativa full review - detailed look at all the pros and cons (long version)

[@buck5019]

"But again, this is a budget car". LOL, exactly. I think people need to calm their tits on how some features on Ativa aren't comparable to other import SUVs, or Proton X50 at least, because it's meant as a budget SUV in the first place. All in all, it's a huge leap of faith by Perodua. It's applaudable. And very unbiased review from Hafriz, good job there!

Watching from Indonesia. Cheers for your amazing review! Very disappointed that our highest class of Rocky/Raize still far from Perodua Ativa, but with MUCH HIGHER price (Raize GR TSS, highest of any Rocky/Raize lineup, is maybe about 8-9K MYR higher than Ativa AV). Even Rocky only have 2 airbags all the way to the highest class! We envy you guys for getting such quality and quantity from that point of price.

[@tiadanama1998]

First of all why does this guy thinks that 76k car peoples car will have the same quality as his x70 and X50? We dont care that its not as plush as your c300 coupe we just want a reliable and cheap to run car. Perodua is making cars for the people not for the rich and famous. Btw still love your review Hafriz.

[@edwindyap1616]

Btw, he's driving a C200 Coupe not 300

[@thibannaidu3317]

Yup true what u say, 70k is a bargain for what it offer, and its just 71k not 76k, its offer alot of safety features actually. Good start for perodua actually

[@hafrizshah4937]

Like I said, it's a good buy for the price. I've tried to minimise comparisons to the X50 where I can, except for the very obvious parts.

[@zhi8970]

because it's 25-30k more than a myvi. And myvi is cheaper to run and more reliable and more spacious(according to majority). why pay more for same quality? for half baked safety systems? for fancy lights?

[@afeeqhasan6621]

Yea no, this guy was being unbiased and calling out the faults. Your mindset is what leads to car companies being complacent and bringing out bad quality cars because people don’t care. This car costs RM71K which is around the median household income of Malaysia. That’s right, it basically costs what an entire household makes in a YEAR - definitely not a “cheap car” but it a good value product. Nevertheless, it absolutely should not have grammatical errors in the infotainment system (the bare minimum) and it should include Apple CarPlay and Android Auto which is basically standard in cars around the world now. As for the fit and finish, yea it is pretty bad and they could have worked on it. Just because the materials is cheap doesn’t mean the fit and finish has to be cheap as well. As for the engine, yea it is quite underpowered - come on, >100 horsepower in 2021??? You have Toyota Corollas (which is basically an everyday man’s car) coming out with 139 horsepower engines from a N/A engine! Other than that, it is a good value car.

[@HasbullahSalih]

Truthful and unbiased review as always by Hafriz. Great job team PT.

[@hafrizshah4937]

Thanks for the support!

[@ranggie4]

Been really considering this car. Now I have all that I need and it adjusts my expectations accordingly. Great review. Just one feedback. Would be great to have closed captions in Bahasa Melayu for those who would prefer that. It's a much smaller task than to reshoot everything in BM but will go a long way to attract more viewers and to make it the go-to review for all things Ativa.

[@shahirmamat9920]

there are 3 versions of Paultan videos; in english, chinese & BM. although Hafriz might not be doing the video in BM, the malay (normally a malay) presenter/reviewer is good enough having BM or chinese subtitles for english version & having BM or english subtitles for chinese version & having english or chinese subtitles for BM version defeat the purpose of having 3 separate video versions they might as well do away with chinese & BM video versions if the english video has both the chinese & BM subtitles

[@shahirmamat9920]

on 2nd thought, i reckon it is better if Paultan sticks to only one version i.e. in english malays or chinese who like Hafriz's style of presentation but are not well versed in english can still understand the video by reading the subtitle

[@yapmengyow9464]

Another great review from Hafriz! Thumbs up. Should just throw in a drag race with a Myvi to please the viewers :P

Better than Honda City specs. Earth Dream Gearbox also got problem.

But Yaris is still good car with proper specs and more affordable car. Yaris is also safer car that come with more safety features.

[@xmenlingcheehuat0811]

great bargain, yes. But don't think it's definitely a better buy from Yaris, especially. It depends on what do you prioritize. Powertrain and undercarriage refinement level, comfort and interior build quality and material are still behind Yaris. Of course, if you prioritize the latest technologies and spec, especially the ACC, yea Ativa is a no brainer.

[@Nabilllllll]

@@xmenlingcheehuat0811 to me it is a better buy from yaris. This ativa has all the new and greatest tech from toyota such as the Tnga/Dnga platform and also not to mention the latest powertrain from daihatsu which is absent in the toyota. I’m not trying to be biased or whatsoever but the ativa interior built quality and design is farrrrrrrrrrr better than what you get in the yaris/vios...

[@zans3876]

I always wonder, how come perodua always finds a good car to rebadge? Unlike Proton last time, they rebadge Suzuki for the Ertiga. Not to forget, Mitsubishi Town Box for Proton Juara. Poor Proton, who did you hire to make that lousy selection.

[@zhi8970]

contrary to majority, i think the base spec is the right model to get. Once you feel in in person, you know that this is jacked up myvi. So paying slightly more than 10k plus for this sounds reasonable. Paying 70k plus for a car with build quality of a myvi does't sound like a good deal. At least if you pay 60k+, you can justify by saying it has more advanced engine and quieter and more comfortable. Also please stop comparing to X50. It's not even fair to both cars. different size, different power, different comfort, different build quality, different design quality, different technology, different country of made, different NVH, different handling, need i say more?

[@l.g.d1889]

Perghh.. dekat 1jam.. sy main video ni kat tv, habis mandi & makan pun masih belum habis video.. 😅😅 kalau X50 susah nak dapat 12km/l mungkin beli Dmax 1.9L 2wd pilihan yg lebih bijak, Dmax 1.9L city drive boleh juga dapat 13-14km/l.. 🤭🤭🤭

[@hishamazam5752]

I just read about a shocking news recently that Daihatsu admitted they lied and tempered with safety tests. In fact they have lied for the past 30 years ago, since kancil model. This should be upsetting us as the owners as this issue is very concerning. Since all these perodua cars are direct rebatched from Daihatsu, safety of perodua cars are highly doubtful. So we just need to be careful. Right now Daihatsu halts all exports of their cars. God knows how many people have suffered due to these safety issuez. As owners, and again we just need to be careful.

[@zafranshamsudin9231]

I think I came across poorer english command brought up by owners in 1 of x70 videos long time ago.. so this 1 in the ativa doesn't seem too bad

[@shukriyaakub5315]

Cool Paultan and this is the most comprehensive review hafriz. As how X50 kacau market, Ativa do know how to counter offer it by focusing technology instead of build quality. So fancy2 do attract people, including myself. Quite frustrated to learn that the level 2 autonomous driving is not on par as honda sensing on civic and above or proton adas, but 30K differences is a huge one. If you could explain further why to take Ativa AV instead of X50 standard, I would appreciate it.

[@hafrizshah4937]

That's a tough one, actually. I'd take the Ativa AV for the complete safety features, but the X50 for its overall driving package and interior quality. Me personally, I'm glad I don't have to make that decision 🤣

I'd say Perodua has more holistic approach & sincerity in future cars than all other manufacturer in Malaysia. It doesn't skimp on any features i.e Proton Export model has more than local.
