Perodua MyVi facelift tonight?

This entry has been updated here

Breaking news : Malaysia's favourite car - the Perodua MyVi, will be due for a mid-life update tonight. I don't have much information at the moment.

Was driving along Bangsar in this morning's rush hour when I spotted a slightly odd looking gold MyVi with trade plates. I noticed it had a slightly different front bumper profile. I couldn't get any closer look at the car though due to heavy traffic.

I thought it was odd for a modified car to be running on trade plates, and why such mild, "mainstream" looking mods. A quick check at some "sources" reveal that a facelift is due, according to my sources, it will be tonight.

No mechanical changes under the skin though. Interior will spot a new audio unit with USB and Bluetooth functionality, two-toned interior colour. New blue coloured Optitron dials are also offered. Seat height adjuster (not present in current model) will also be included, along with Toyota-style shopping bag hooks behind the front seats.

Exterior changes will include revised front and rear bumpers, new grille, new front fog lamp and alloy wheel designs. Two new additional colours will be offered (the one I saw had a darker shade of gold). A new UV reflective glass will also be offered.
