Myvi vs Yaris vs Iriz Depreciation: What Our 2026 Records Show
Quick answer
In this selected sample from Intercontinental Motors' in-house records, the 2024 Perodua Myvi AV recorded the lowest observed raw depreciation at 25.0%, retaining 75.0% of its reference Malaysian new-car price. Its observed in-house wholesale price was RM44,100 against a reference new price of RM58,800.
It was also the lowest-mileage vehicle in this comparison, so part of the apparent advantage may be related to mileage. The ranking is not mileage-adjusted.
Why this comparison matters
B-segment hatchbacks are popular with commuters, young families and first-time buyers because they are compact without being too basic. Their used values can still differ sharply when brand demand, variant, mileage and maintenance history are considered.
The figures below use observed in-house wholesale prices rather than retail asking prices. Wholesale values usually allow for inspection uncertainty, preparation cost, warranty exposure, financing support, stock-holding time and dealer margin. They should not be presented as guaranteed retail market values.
Depreciation comparison
| Vehicle | Mileage (approx. per year) | In-house wholesale price | Reference new price | Value retained | Actual depreciation | Simple loss per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 Perodua Myvi AV | 23,429 km (11,714/yr) | RM44,100 | RM58,800 | 75.0% | RM14,700 (25.0%) | RM7,350 |
| 2023 Toyota Yaris G | 34,458 km (11,486/yr) | RM57,600 | RM84,808 | 67.9% | RM27,208 (32.1%) | RM9,069 |
| 2023 Proton Iriz Executive | 25,131 km (8,377/yr) | RM23,400 | RM47,800 | 49.0% | RM24,400 (51.0%) | RM8,133 |
What the sample shows
From lowest to highest raw depreciation, the selected observations rank as: Perodua Myvi AV (25.0% loss), Toyota Yaris G (32.1% loss), Proton Iriz Executive (51.0% loss).
The gap between the lowest and highest raw depreciation was 26.0 percentage points. The lowest simple annual ringgit loss was Perodua Myvi AV at RM7,350 per model year. Percentage loss, actual ringgit loss and annualised loss measure different things, so they should be read together.
How mileage changes the interpretation
The selected vehicles range from 23,429 km to 34,458 km. The lowest-mileage observation was the 2024 Perodua Myvi AV, while the highest-mileage observation was the 2023 Toyota Yaris G.
Mileage is displayed and converted into an approximate kilometres-per-model-year figure, but no arbitrary RM-per-kilometre adjustment is applied. A proper mileage-adjusted valuation would also need exact registration dates, condition grades, service history, accident and flood history, ownership type, location and multiple comparable transactions.
What usually affects value in this segment
Hatchback buyers usually compare fuel use, cabin space, safety equipment, reliability and ease of resale. High annual mileage, worn interiors and missing service history may matter more than a small difference in advertised price.
Advice for used-car buyers
- Check the exact safety specification because equipment differs by variant and year.
- Test the transmission at low speed and during acceleration, not only at idle.
- Inspect tyre age, suspension wear, steering alignment and signs of urban parking damage.
- Compare the service record with the odometer and ownership history.
Before booking, compare like with like: same year, exact variant, local or recon status, mileage band, ownership history and realistic condition. An unsold online advertisement is not proof of the final transaction value.
Advice for owners planning to sell
- Highlight safety equipment, service history and any remaining warranty.
- Replace missing keys, service books or inexpensive trim items when practical.
- Use photographs that show seat condition, boot space and dashboard warning lights off.
- Price against the same year and variant rather than against every listing with the same model name.
Owners who need a faster exit may prefer a direct sale or trade-in. Owners with a presentable car, complete documents and more time may consider managed car consignment, where Intercontinental Motors can assist with presentation, enquiries, viewings, financing coordination, PUSPAKOM, ownership transfer and handover steps.

Frequently asked questions
Which hatchback retained more value in this sample?
The selected 2024 Perodua Myvi AV recorded the lowest raw depreciation percentage. It was also the lowest-mileage vehicle in this comparison, so mileage may have contributed to the result.
Does a Myvi always have better resale value than a Yaris?
Not necessarily. The final value depends on age, exact variant, mileage, service history, accident history, colour, condition and current buyer demand.
Why can a newer car show a high annual depreciation figure?
Newer cars divide their total loss over fewer model years. This makes simple depreciation per year look high even when the retained-value percentage is relatively strong.
Should I sell a hatchback directly or consign it?
Direct sale may suit owners who prioritise speed. A clean, well-documented car may suit managed consignment when the owner can wait for a suitable retail buyer.
Methodology and price sources
This article uses 3 selected vehicle observations from an internal dataset containing 850 raw in-house records and 820 unique observations after exact deduplication. Depreciation is calculated as reference new price minus observed in-house wholesale price. Simple loss per year divides that amount by model-year age using 2026 as the analysis year.
