The budget MPV market in Malaysia may be dominated by Perodua Alza but over in Vietnam, things are a little different. Like many parts of Southeast Asia, Vietnam is a country dominated by Toyota. The Toyota Vios is Vietnam’s No.1 selling car (23,529 units in 2022) but it’s a position that it barely held on to. Ever since its launch in mid-2020, the Mitsubishi Xpander has been frequently harassing the Vios for the No.1 spot. In one too many times last year, the Xpander had even overtook the Vios

The Toyota Alphard and Vellfire have been Malaysian’s go-to MPV for many years but you’d be a fool to not consider the fourth-generation 2022 Kia Carnival. If you’re not brand conscious and you’re looking for a family MPV, the 2022 CKD Kia Carnival is an MPV to consider.

Perodua hasn’t been shy about teasing its D27A all-new 2022 Perodua Alza. There have been quite a number of teasers and clips released on social media to raise some hype on their new 7-seater but truth is, we all know they wouldn’t even need a social media campaign for the Alza to fly off showroom floors.
