#PeroduaAtiva #PeroduaAtivaReview - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Thanks for sharing your experience with the Ativa with us Adrian.
This dude is very good with words. Nice comprehensive review
Always get a good explanation from adrian, well done sir 👍🏻
thank you so much for this amazing review, it helped me a lot in my decision making
Thanks for your explanation, it's very helpful.
Thank you bro, your video is great
Hi Adrian , I bought Ativa AV after going through your early reviews and couple of others. I am driving my Grey Ativa AV for past 2 months . It’s really joy to drive . It was very hard to keep it below 90km//hr for initial 1000km. And I love the PWR button , oh man this picks up really fast.
Here are my positives: - great peppy engine. - good comfortable seats - good ride quality- ADAS is fantastic , I have used a lot ,almost self driving
Negatives , - horrible fuel economy, I’m getting around 11km/l - I agree with you the braking is not that great- I didn’t like it’s cornering, I know it’s due to the high centre of gravity - I didn’t like the sound system
Upgrades done- for improving cornering and handling , installed stage one safety bars( front strut bar, anti roll bar and also front lower 4 point bar), this has made the ativa now handle like a pro. Now cornering is great and high speed stability is great. My upgrade recommendation for you will be this.
- have done a full ceramic coating
-have put a carbon fiber spoiler
- have upgraded the back reflector lights with turn indicator
- have got HDMI wireless mirror cast dongle for iPhone
Planned upgrade- sound system :have to install my component hertz speakers which I have , a under seat subwoofer, DSP. Waiting for installer shop to be opened
- have bought already soundproofing material for doors, need to install
-need to get a undercarriage cover
Overall the Ativa is great value for money car. Always I will recommend to any one.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Do you mind if we post your comments onto our WapCar Forum?
@@WapCar yes sure can. Pleasure is mine
Seriously 11km/l ?
@@ainajoe5874 After last petrol refill I’m getting around 10.8Km/L
@@jojyvarghesediytechie4939 I'm considering this Ativa. How's the NVH so far?
Adrian, fully agree with your Likes & Dislikes! Spot-on👍. My biggest dislike is the Eco-idle function. Default mode should be OFF and driver just turn it on when needed, unlike the ORI setting now. Yes, sound system not good and overall sound-proofing needs improvement too. Another one is the sound of the ORI horn, too mild for the Ativa character 😊. Again, thanks for your in-depth analysis and looking forward to more. Good job to you Adrian & your team. Cheers
Very informative.. thanks Adrian..
Tq bro. I have booked my ativa because of your review. Tq
Thank you, it means a lot to us 🙏🏻 Hope you enjoy your Ativa!

Very good review. It’s like I know everything about the attiva now
I've just had my Ativa AV now for just over a month, Its a great drive, I would appreciate if you could do a video on just the cruise control,thanks
Love your long hair style now...remind me of Jon Bon Jovi...so macho ...tq for buying Ativa...I am planning to buy 1 and your long term review for Ativa really help me to consider to buy it or not...of course, other option other than Ativa would be X50 or Xpander...
Nice car and nice explanation 👍🏼
Appreciate your good standard of english, Adrian. And for using the correct word for window tinting. I went to an accessory shop and told the worker I wanted to install tinting. He did not understand. When I pointed out the windows he insisted I should have requested "tinted"!
Many malaysians also use "bonnet", instead of the correct word "boot". This includes enforcement personnel who ask you to "buka bonnet" when they want to inspect your boot.
Thank you Adrian...Useful info...I was thinking between X70 and Ativa... I'm the guy always looking for nice seating and comfortable car...Now I'm clear..will choose the X70..
honest review👍👍👍
Nice review perdoua ativa 2021
👍💪💪😂
Adrian. Heat rejection film only applied at windscreen and rear glass. Side windows only have security film.
From your hair, we can see u're a law abiding citizen, not having a haircut haha
Looks better now. 😂
Attempting a new style 😆👍
Hahahaha ...
Thinking of buying the Ativa but was afraid it would be underpowered because of the 1 litre. So this video is very helpful! Thanks!
Very nice car. Looks good, packed with modern features and reasonably priced. Only downside so far is like you said the head unit lacking Android Auto/Carplay but can be mitigated by changing to aftermarket head units which is something I would like to see your team experiment.
Will document the process!
Yes. Definitely will follow up close on this upgrade. Since I'm not a car expert, i prefer to wait on Adrian's HU selection. It will save my time to do research & analysis. Let Adrian do it for me..Thanks Adrian
ihave one just like yours. just drive a week already and i enjoy every ride
Awesome!
adrian, which matters more when it comes to dealing with malaysian hot weather? tint or strong hvac compressor?
It's Adrian again !
Honest FC review
3 months is fine. Wait for 3 years+(lesser than 5 years given warranty). You will hear some weird rattles in the cabin, getah cabut etc. After my experience of buying 1st gen Axia(G spec/non ABS), i afraid to buy any new coming perodua 1st Gen, rather wait for facelift version. anyways, Ativa is still a good price range for what is being offered. Good review and stay safe!
Why no awd kenapa?!
@@woozhi9218 awd too heavy the engine. maybe 1.3/1.5 turbo can take it
@@aaap16annuar40 I see. but i think it could be useful for like beach pinicing or light off roading.
@@woozhi9218 reducing building cost and prices... perodua are more to looks and safety...as long the car move with acceptable prices... they'll rolls out from the factory room.. Daihatsu and Toyota had awd with 1L engine tho'...
Did you notice on the Ativa, the aircond compressor ticks cut on & off rather too quickly? You can hear the constant cycle of ticking sound.. Is this normal? Other car's compressor runs a few seconds before it cycle off and turn on again later.
Which hu u want to buy? Planning to find one soon.
hi there, I am CK Loh. I just took delivery of my Ativa AV a week ago. You mentioned a few improvements in your review.
What head unit would you recommend I change to?
For improved tinting, I am looking at going for a tinting within RM1000.00. What tint film brand would you recommend. TQ
I'm very concerned about the brakes you mentioned. Not sure what you meant, though. Going for a test drive this week to check it out. That's the main deal breaker.
Agree with u . I compared my saga sound system with my yaris sound system and i would say its more enjoyable in saga especially when sing along the song 🤣
Long Live The Saga !!!
I own a 2017 Saga VVT definitely agreed to the sound quality
@@humfyb2544 I guess it just goes to show that just because something is cheap, that doesn't mean it can't be impressive, especially for cars like the Saga!
What head unit and speaker sets would you recommend for this car?
Hi Adrian
Particular about tint?
Any tips for us? Suggestions on shops and places with good worksmanship?
How low in pricing should u not go for? How high in pricing should u not be bothered to take?
Getting a touchscreen with android auto? Can't wait for a review of that.
Cheers guys. Watching your growth with a smile on my face.
hi, may i know which carplay unit that support android but not void the perodua warranty? also, it wont affect the usb ports, hdmi ports and able to support the sterring wheel button? thx in advance for the reply. hehe.
Planning to buy this car or x50 . Bt yet, still hard to make a decision due to the fuel consumption
As for any car review,. I personally more likely want to hear those dislike item at the new car and problematic cause by the new car ..
For those good thing and item, I believe anyone can read from the broucher or catalog...
Is waste of time to say how good is the car, but better instead make a comparison between other model, will be more interesting...
Anyway well done Adrian to review such honest about the product...
At least the future buyer would know what are they paid for in their purchase product
Thank you! Hope you find our playlist insightful: czcams.com/video/guOFnNIhmpY/video.html
How about ventilated seats for mod which suit the hot weather of Malaysia.
On a safety aspect, aren't you going to improve the car's brakes since you mentioned the brakes are below par..?
May i know about the engine in long run? Is it easy to get problem?
if ur park under the sun always,steer away from soft touch dash..tekopek dashboard perit nak tukar,plus ur screen will develop foggy mist from the heat coming from the cracked dash..speaking from a seasoned car user perspective
This what happens to ativa ke?
I believe everything that you said 💯✓
My suggestion on upgrading the Ativa can be
1. better tinted
2. branded headunit such as Pioneer/Kenwood & better speakers upgrade
3. some stabilizer bars to reduce more on body-roll
4. rims & tyres
5. consider upgrade the brake pads & disc for better braking performance
Stock brake performance is horrible
@@paazman6643 upgrade the brake pads n disc rotor gv it a try 👍
The annoying thing is that if you do so, you might void warranty?
@@ndt2046 well if u care about the warranty u can do it after ur warranty is over, but mostly will just upgrade la haha
Yes it will void the warranty. But we plan to tearing the car apart so warranty is out of the window haha
Yes wrapcar waiting for you to stripe the Ativa and have a look inside
Window tint and better brakes… that will be my preference changes
Replace the original air filter to a drop in air filter, you can have a more smoothly and lighter car, my own experience after replacing the air filter, it does improve respond and pickup speed, a little bit of fuel savings too 😀
Wow, fuel savings caught our attention, will definitely consider!
Please review Toyota raize !!!
Long distance drive is ok?
If me i would change the brake to 4 pot caliper, forged wheels, better suspension system, anti roll bar and high grade tinted.
Hi Adrian, for first time car buyers - would you recommend Ativa? I'm contemplating on my first car and your reviews mean a lot to me.. hope will hear from you soon. Keep up with the great content! Love your channel ❤️
You are single or family? Because sometimes boot spaces are important especially family
Its time for local car tubers to learn that not all adas are the same. Just by having it is nothing to brag about until performance has proven. Even the likes of paultan are still brochure reader after a decade. No brake distance test, adas test, moose test, noise, vibration, cabin voc.. let alone full disassemble, pillar metal specimen and independent crash test... long way to go.
please add a new infotainment unit which has android and apple carplay and install stablizer bar for better performance
The vibration is mostly likely caused by the 3 cylinder engine
Please mod front passenger handle for lock unlock function
I'll wait for the new hybrid ativa next year..
I think your time stamps is messed up.. give it a look will u? tq
Is there any chance to have apple car play upgrade project? Would like to know know more how you plan to do it.
Will document the process for sure!
How/Where to get the undercarriage ?
Would like to see how adaptive headlight works in real time
Not easy to catch it on camera 😅
Can I use Ron 95 for my activa
I wished the Ativa's head unit comes standard with Apple Carplay and Android Auto like the ones in the Indonesian version Daihatsu Rocky.
We wish so too
the poor brake performance on Ativa is on point, i have no confident and feel like crashing when trying to brake it😨
recommended perodua to install dsp, better quality components /coaxial speakers and active subwoofer as standard. (cost about Rm 2k or less). strut bar and anti roll bar (typeone bar are affordable price)
That's additional RM2k+ to the selling price, consumers won't accept it haha
@@WapCar actual prices is lower than that if modified by yourself. But if it come as standard OEM Rm 2k is reasonable with oem proper wiring.
For 10K plus mileage, try doing some Grab tranport. That should help accelerate the mileage.
I’m planing to do grab after getting Ativa . Oh god how ?!
Its okay doing grab car with ativa? How about the fuel consumption?
I thk it's quite ok already for me to change to ativa(from my old 12 yrs+ Toyota rush🤭) x need buy too much expensive as I x intend to donate much money to gov😅
My experience as a rear passenger, its bounce not when you seat infront
Have you tried with full capacity and go uphill? How does it feel and how about fuel consumption with full capacity?
The turbo engine works at a higher rpm but able to pull itself uphill no problems. Of course in that situation FC goes up
If I'm not wrong, perodua provided tint is just for security.
For sound.... u can compare myvi with axia.... haiz.... proton might have a better sound speaker provider as my family wira aeroback sound speaker quite nice or maybe is just because the head unit used...I don't know
Sounds similar to the Myvi, nothing to shout about. It's solar and security tinting for the Ativa.
I think the rims looks good. Looks like 18inch.
I think the relative shorter range of 250-300km is because of its smaller fuel tank of 36litres compared to 45litres in the Proton X50. But despite its smaller engine, smaller fuel tank thus less weight to carry and thinner body panels(feels it), it does not seems economical on fuel?
Not really, the Ativa is just not very efficient in city drive.
My Ativa can reach almost 500km every tank for Penang road condition. I feel the FC quite decent 😊
Hi bro, I have been following ALL your Ativa videos as Ativa is definitely on my radar as I am definitely considering to purchase it in the future.
What can I say, I have become your ardent fan as I find your videos very poised and clear in presentation, and most importantly, extremely honest in your views, opinions and sharings. And your verbal delivery is smooth and impromptu. You really inspire me with your language command.
I have finally subscribed to your channel and will be looking forward to all your future updates and contents.
Keep up with your honest sharings. Simply love it!
Just to clarify again, Ativa Av variant did not come with front windshield tinted? I thought tinted cover whole car windshield, windows & rear windscreen.
My mistake, the front do come with tinted but it's really bad
Im now driving Proton Saga FL since 2011 and intend to trade in to Ativa, is it worth for upgrade?
How much to upgrade the braking system like adding rear disc brake..
Hi sir, as for me i think that the car material built is not as solid as proton cars nowadays as it does not come with HPF structure so the weight of the car is light and it feels less secure to drive it, system safety features may get disfunction as times goes by therefore HPF really helps solidy a car to make a driver feels safer.
2nd is the seats are not as comfy as proton cars now, indeed it is more spacious than proton but it is because the seats design does not fully support the tigh so the comfortness is not as good as proton especially wen it comes to long journey drive.
3rd is the compartment for bottles are not there at the center console like in proton cars or most cars as it is very necessary and convinient for drivers, the arm rest is too small and the space in it is too small and narrow as well with the L shaped, so its hard to put stuff in there.
Imma very insecure person Sir, so wen it comes to getting a car, i will look at the body structure and the weight of the car if it is solid or heavy or not.
2nd is the comfortness in terms of handling, stability of the car due to the weight and material of the car and the seats of the car.
3rd is the safety features, doesnt matter how many safety features systems in a car in the HPF is the most important feature for the car sir, imma classic person therefore sometimes too much of tech and system does not mean its reliable in times. 😢😢😢
So adrian, i assume compare to Mazda 2 skyactiv
Worst experience?😅
This is a city SUV, does the job very well. The Mazda 2 is more of a fun hatchback, very different cars which results in very different angle of evaluation
Adrian, why never do review for In Car Entertainment performance. The Ativa radio and sound system is rubbish.
nice
Nissan almera vl varient now priced 71k
With free acces..,tint, leather seat
Between full spec ativa and low spec nissan almera i think almera is better choice family .
Fair comparison, more spacious, and a bigger boot. Looks sleeker too.
Wonder the rear brake issue been solve?
czcams.com/video/JNuVumazdEo/video.html
how's the drump brake problem now?
czcams.com/video/JNuVumazdEo/video.html
Bought my Ativa when it just launch. Having problem - burning smell everytime i drove upto 4~5rpm or 100km/h, is this normal?
also happen to me on my bezza
i already book😇
The speaker is not that bad, the head unit is, the default bass, trebel, and mid is set at “0” if you increase the treble to “2” and bass to “4” the sounds will be preety decent. But one thing i need to tell you, once you turn off the engine, the bass, trebel and mid that you tune will be reset back to “0” not physically but you will be able to notice it when you play the song
Hmm, we'll try these settings and see how it fares
It’s 2021 and local brands still refuse to include Carplay / Auto.
Licensing and supply is the biggest issue. Added cost for them
Is it adaptive Cruise control and blind spot monitoring??
Yes
@@jack-bi6pm really??
Saya hadapi masaalah dengan ativa X saya. Bila dekat Telco tower Dan WiFi, tak boleh lock kereta dengan remote key, kena pakai manual lock. Ader customer pun complaint problem nie. U ader dengar problem nie? Cam maner NAK settle? Boleh tolong?
How it handles compared to mazda2?
Mazda 2 handles way better no contest.
Ever since the car was invented, comments have always been that tyre pressures are not properly done. Really, car companies SOP cannot put this in place?
Just like everything else in this country, enforcement is the problem, not the SOP.
Big wing?!
That’s it.. Thats what you need. It will change everything!!
Or add a few Red Bull stickers 🤔
@@WapCar confirmed horsepower up already!
@@khairunshahnazmohdkhalil4453 😆
Would a brake pad upgrade help with softness, or is it the front-back balance causing the issue you think?
It will void warranty
It will help with the brake feel and stopping power. Unless we convert it to rear brake disc, otherwise brake balance won't change all that much
@@WapCar won't it void the warranty
This make me worried... Waiting for one... And now I feel whether I should have one... Brake performance is important to avoid disasters... Oh man...
@@hasmahahmad5696 it's OK ony.nothing to worry about
I think the strength of the Ativa is the competence of its platform, safety features and some JDM touches like the the digital instrument cluster on the H and AV variants. Good tyres also actually. But apart from that the overall packaging is poor and really should be improved to meet the standards set by those features above. Terrible infotainment and sound setup, cheap tint and lack of rear air con blower, no cover to protect the bottom of the car (also improving aerodynamics and fuel efficiency) feels like a real letdown because they can be easily resolved. Also agree that eco idle is a silly gimmick that Perodua should just stop using.
The only reason to get the AV would be for full ADAS suite in my view. I would rather either get X or H variant and use the savings to get better tints and upgrade the weaknesses i mentioned. But that means I will have to live without the ADAS I guess. That would be my pick if I were in the market for a mini SUV now. Better to wait a couple of years and see what competitors offer, or whether there's a facelift that works on these weaknesses.
I feel newer Perodua models always include some weakness in thir features, like a job half done. Seems like consumer shouldn't be greedy for too many features within a budget car. If cannot give best quality feature, just don't give at all.
@@jcw5288 Yes I agree. For example I would rather they just saved money on the infotainment or the tint and just improved the sound system & soundproofing, etc. Give me less features but at a higher quality, rather than spam as many as they could. But I guess it's hard to argue with their sales figures...
Spot on. But the fact is consumers are very visual shoppers. They see got touchscreen, wah. Got push start, wah. Got "auto brake", wah. The intangibles and substances are not enough to close sales
no offense but if you have can save up extra money then you're better off with the x50 or a second hand cx3. I'm not convinced that this ativa offers enough for the value, imho it should be between 55k to 65k. It feels like the bezza but with more features and a different POV in terms of driving and look at how much a bezza costs.
@@tishen0006 No offense taken of course, I agree with you that those two cars you mentioned are better options, which is of course why they cost anywhere between 15 to 30K more!
What about DRL adrian? Modern cars won't look modern without one...
The GearUp DRLs don't look very good though
Ultra racing safety bar and gear up spoiler
Gear Up spoiler ohhh yes that looks good. Safety bar, maybe not, very satisfied with the car's dynamics so far
A 2016 Saga audio system (with 2 speaker setup on the base unit) is far better than Produa’s car as a whole.
this atok has absolute balls of steel
What why 😳
On the title screen you have misspell for 'editor,wapar' rather than wapcar
Thank you for spotting!
paint protection?
Paint is not special enough to spend 10+k to protect it haha. Maybe wax/coating will suffice
Building cars people first philosophy.. can't expect more
then live with mediocrity for the rest of the ownership
Are booking ativa gonna take long time like the proton x50?
approximately 3months faster than the x50 (from that time I booked for my Ativa)
- 3months waiting period for Ativa
- 6months waiting period for x50
both probably delayed further due to the extension of MCO
@@brawliciouschannel9510 no chips issue too i think
Ive booked the top variant the next day after it is launched. Not received yet. 21/07/2021
@@speculatestudio8548 i did too and got my car after a month or so. Did you get any sms acknowledging your booking? The salesman did the online booking for me after I fwded to him the bank transfer receipt for the booking fee
