UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has recently launched the new 2022 Toyota Veloz, and it's time to compare it with its donor car, the equally-new D27A Perodua Alza. If you are in the market for a B-segment MPV, you might be wondering which car to choose. While both cars share similarities, there are some key differences between them that might sway your decision. One of the most significant differences is the price. The D27A Perodua Alza has a price range that tops out at RM 75,500, while the Toyota Velo
