Just graduated from school? Thinking of getting your first ride but don’t have much in the pocket? Worried about the ongoing cost of owning a car? We have all been through those times, and it’s absolutely normal and nothing to be ashamed of!
Getting a car is just the beginning. Maintaining it and the running cost, especially fuel cost, can be relatively expensive. To aid you in getting your very first cheap-and-practical-to-own car, here is our top 5 cars to consider when you shop for your first ride:
1. Perodua Bezza 1.0 Standard G – A/T
The cheapest fuel efficient car on our list is none-other than the Perodua Bezza, priced from only as low as RM34,490! Its 1.3 Advance variant comes with keyless entry with a push-start button as well as vehicle stability control and hill start assist. It also has 60:40 split folding rear seats whenever additional space is needed, making this an economical choice for a family car!
It has an estimated fuel economy of 4.7L/100km. Estimated cost for full-tank at the current RON95 fuel price is RM62 only!
2. Proton Iriz 1.3 MT
Coming in at number 2 is the Proton Iriz, priced from RM40,000 onwards! It has a NCAP rating of five stars, and comes with two airbags, ABS, hill start assist and traction control. On the flip side, Iriz lacks spaciousness in terms of headroom and legroom areas. To make up for it, it comes with bolstered seats that will help with long journeys.
It has an estimated fuel economy of 5.8L/100km. Estimated cost for full-tank at the current RON95 fuel price is RM69 only!
3. Myvi 1.3 Standard G – A/T
Familiar name? Now you know why the Proton Myvi is so popular on the Malaysia roads! You can get one from RM44,950 onwards! The standard edition comes with dual airbags, alarm, immobiliser and Isofix mounts. As a testament to its budget-friendliness, the Perodua Myvi has been the best-selling car in Malaysia for eight consecutive years!
It has an estimated fuel economy of 6.2L/100km. Estimated cost for full-tank at the current RON95 fuel price is RM69 only!
4. Suzuki Alto 1.0 A/T GLX
Although not as well known, the Suzuki is definitely worth looking into! It is priced from RM44,888. To keep running costs low, the Alto is powered by a newly developed 1.0 litre engine. A three-cylinder configuration is also designed to make the engine light and compact, and helps keep friction low. This results in lower fuel consumption, lower emissions (making it eco-friendlier), and higher output!
It has an estimated fuel economy of 5.2L/100km. Estimated cost for full-tank at the current RON95 fuel price is RM61 only!
5. Hyundai i10
Another foreign car on the list is Hyundai i10, priced from as low as RM48,388. For a hatchback, the car is stylish and spacious with sufficient interior storage compartments. The driver information display has more than the usual trip computer, such as outside temperature readout and a tyre-pressure monitor. Cool isn’t it?
It has an estimated fuel economy of 5.8L/100km. Estimated cost for full-tank at the current RON95 fuel price is RM69 only!
