Perodua Myvi vs Proton Iriz
The Iriz undercuts the Myvi at the bottom of the range, but the Myvi variant it undercuts is the one Perodua strips the driver aids out of — and above that, Proton publishes no driver-assistance list for the Iriz at any price.

Two ranges of different shapes
These two do not line up rung for rung. The Myvi ladder has five variants and the Iriz three, spread across a similar spread of money, so Perodua sells finer gradations of the same car while Proton sells fewer, wider steps.
That matters more than it sounds. It means a buyer at certain budgets has a real choice between the two and a buyer at others effectively does not, because one of the ranges has nothing at that price. Comparing the models as wholes hides exactly that.
The variants that actually compete
Each variant is paired with its nearest counterpart on price, and only where each is the other's nearest. Two Myvi variants come out unpaired — not because nothing is near them, but because the Iriz variant nearest to them is nearer still to a different Myvi.
The closest match is the Myvi X against the Iriz Executive — RM600 apart.
| Perodua Myvi | Proton Iriz | Difference |
|---|---|---|
| G (No PSDA) · RM46,500 | Standard · RM42,800 | RM3,700 |
| X · RM50,900 | Executive · RM50,300 | RM600 |
| H · RM54,900 | Active · RM57,300 | RM2,400 |
Variants with no counterpart
- Myvi G at RM48,500 — its nearest rival is the Executive, RM1,800 away, but the Executive is nearer still to the X (RM600), so that is the pairing shown above. It falls between two variants on the other side with no counterpart of its own.
- Myvi AV at RM59,900 — its nearest rival is the Active, RM2,600 away, but the Active is nearer still to the H (RM2,400), so that is the pairing shown above. It also sits above the top of the other range, so nothing there reaches it on price.
What the money buys at each step
The asymmetry here is not close. Perodua publishes a driver-assistance suite for the Myvi and names each system in it. Proton's Iriz specification names none of them — no automatic braking, no blind spot monitoring, no lane departure warning, at any variant or any price.
That is shown below as not listed rather than as absent, because a brand's silence is not the same as a brand telling you a car lacks something. Read it for what it is: on one side a published list, on the other nothing to compare it against.

How to choose
At the bottom of the range the Iriz is genuinely cheaper, and the Myvi it lines up against is the variant Perodua sells without its driver-assistance pack. So the honest version of the entry-level comparison is two cars neither of which brakes for you, with the Iriz costing less.
Step up and the comparison changes completely rather than gradually, because the Myvi gains a suite the Iriz never offers. If active safety is on your list, the decision is made for you well before the top of either range. If it is not, the Iriz stays competitive on price the whole way up.
Frequently asked questions
- Which is cheaper, the Myvi or the Iriz?
- The Iriz starts lower and stays a little lower at each matched step, but the gaps are small and vary by pair. The table on this page shows each matched pair with its difference, which is the only form of the answer that is not hiding which variants it means.
- Does the Proton Iriz have AEB or ADAS?
- Proton's specification for the Iriz does not name automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, lane departure warning or adaptive cruise control on any variant. The Myvi publishes all of them above its entry variant. If a driver-assistance system is a requirement, that difference decides this comparison on its own.
- Why do two Myvi variants have no counterpart?
- Because the Myvi range has five variants and the Iriz three. Where two Myvi variants sit close to the same Iriz, only the nearer one is paired with it — pairing both would mean claiming one Iriz is the rival of two different cars at two different prices. The unpaired ones are listed with the variant that outbid them, so nothing is quietly dropped.
