PERODUA’s latest all-new Alza multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) is a roomier and more highly-specified ride compared with the previous model that was introduced in 2009.
The new generation of Malaysia’s all-time favourite seven-seater MPV is now available in three variants of X, H and AV, with on-the-road without insurance prices starting from RM62,500, RM68,000 and RM75,500 respectively.
The new Alza is the second new-generation model after Ativa developed under the Perodua Smart Build blueprint.
The latest MPV also gets the Perodua Smart Drive Assist safety suite which has 4 main pillars under it; Advanced Safety Assist (ASA), Driving Assist, Parking Assist and Headlamp Assist but updated with the all-new Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) and 360 Panoramic View Monitor, 1st time for Perodua.
Interior is also roomier with a restyled steering wheel and updated dashboard.
For the X variant, the audio system is a standard type with four speakers while the AV variant audio is equipped with Apple Carplay and Android Auto ready.
While the X comes with 15-inch wheels and a LCD multi-info display, the H and AV move up with 16-inch wheels and a seven-inch TFT multi-info display.
The Alza also appeals with a low ride feeling, a stable ride and easy access, especially for young children and the elderly.
The seats come with a flexible arrangement capability to accommodate various seating or cargo carrying layouts.
The exterior, meanwhile, features a classy grille, LED headlights with follow-me home and LED tail lights.
Powering the new Alza is the 1.5 Dual VVT-i EEV engine with DCVT which gives better performance and fuel consumption of 22km per litre.
Sending power to the wheels is a dual mode Continuously Variable Transmission and three drive modes of Normal, Eco and Power.
While the entry-level X and mid-range H variants are already well-specified to meet the motoring needs of most Malaysians, the AV top model elevates the driving experience to the next level.
Among the extra features of the AV are a two-tone dashboard, two-tone semi-leather upholstery, Electronic Parking Brake (EPB), auto brake hold, hill start assist and side skirting among others.
Enhanced safety features of the AV also include Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Control, Blind Spot Monitor, 360-degree Panoramic View Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, reverse camera, integrated digital video recorder, and solar and security window film.
Reserved colours for AV and H variants are the newly introduced Vintage Brown and Garnet Red, while the new Elegant Black and existing Glittering Silver and solid Ivory White are available for all.
The new Alza will be among the latest Perodua vehicles displayed at the CarSifu Auto Show 2022 at Mid Valley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur from Oct 5-9.
