First car is like your first love; you’ll get excited about it, make mistakes along the way, discover your likes and dislikes, but you’ll always remember it and depending on the situation, you’ll realise that money seems to be flowing out rather quickly. Which is why it is important to know what you’re getting into when you buy your first car, because it's not as simple as merely paying the monthly installments and refueling the car. Let’s start with maintenance and take the top selling brands i

NVH stands for Noise, Vibration, and Harshness – a term we use to interpret the refinement of a car. The lower the NVH, the more refined and comfortable a car is. So, what’s the Perodua Ativa’s NVH level? Before we start, we'd like to note that this is based on both objective measurements and subjective impressions as it is rather difficult to quantify the refinement of a car. With that out of the way, let's dive in. Noise - Feels quieter than the numbers suggest Starting with the “N” part of NV

If you wanted something small and affordable, it is very hard to look away from the Perodua Axia. Launched in 2014, the Axia has received two facelifts in 2017 and 2019. The first facelift gave the Axia a new VVT-equipped engine, and the second facelift removed the manual transmission from all variants except the “E”. Virtually unrivalled in its segment (A-segment hatchback), those shopping for the Axia might even consider the Proton Saga or the Perodua Bezza as alternatives. Should you get the

A simple way to give your car a fresh look is to fit it with a set of new wheels. It is the easiest form of “modification” and window shopping the right fit for your car can be fun. While the design/pattern of the wheel is subject to individual taste, one common “upgrade” is to go for wheels with a bigger diameter. Bigger wheels are aesthetically pleasing and give the car a more athletic look. Even manufacturers seem to agree to this and fit bigger wheels on range-topping variants. If the car wa

NVH指的是噪音、震动和粗糙程度，我们常常会用这个名词来指代车子的精细程度。NVH的水平越低，车子的乘坐体验就会越精致、越舒适。那么，Perodua Ativa的NVH水准又是如何呢？ 在开始之前，我们必须先说明的是，本文的结论是同时基于客观测量和主观印象得出的，因为要将一辆车子的精致程度具体化，并不是一件简单的事情。清楚这一点之后，就让我们开始吧。 噪音：比测量数据感觉更安静 从NVH的“N”部分开始，我们透过可靠的噪音计来对车内的噪音水平进行测量。我们在三种不同的速度下进行了测量，速度分别为60 km/h、90 km/h和110 km/h，结果如下： 噪音水平 Perodua Ativa Proton X50 60 km/h 60 dB 62 dB 90 km/h 68 dB 65 dB 110 km/h 70 dB 68 dB 作为对比，以静音水准出色的Toyota Vios在60 km/h下的平均噪音为59 dB，在90 km/下的平均噪音为65 dB，而在110 km/h下的平均噪音为69 dB。另一方面，Proton X50的数据则为62 dB @ 60 km/h、65 d

There’s a term we use to convey refinement of a car – NVH, which stands for Noise, Vibration, Harshness. The lower the NVH, the more refined and comfortable it is. NVH is, more often than not, judged based on subjective feeling. In other words, we feel the car through our bums and ears. Though in the aspect of noise, we do measure it using a sound level meter to maintain a level of objectivity. Before we begin, we’d like to rule out ultra-luxurious cars like the Rolls-Royce Phantom or the Merced

Antara istilah yang digunakan untuk menilai kualiti sesebuah kereta ialah ‘Noise, Vibration, and Harshness (NVH)’. Semakin rendah kadar NVH, semakin selesa dan nyaman pengalaman perjalanan tersebut. NVH adalah subjektif. Dalam kata lain, kita menerima tindakbalas melalui punggung dan telinga. Dalam aspek bunyi, kita menggunakan meter bunyi untuk mengekalkan tahap objektiviti.
