The D27A all-new 2022 Perodua Alza may be launching soon as a glitzy new model, relegating the model it replaces into a distant memory. But we reckon that the older Alza still has some life left in it, as Perodua should still offer it as a panel van. Remember the old Perodua Rusa? Here’s why. Without the second- and third-row seats in place (remember that this is a commercial van), the Alza’s cabin space would then be rather cavernous. Perodua only mentioned that boot space is 83 litres with the

The wait is nearly over as Perodua has just officially announced the specs of the all-new D27A 2022 Perodua Alza along with bookings. With three variants offered, the Malaysian twin to the Toyota Veloz/Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia is more jammed-packed compared to its predecessor. It also seems that Perodua is keeping the Alza name after all with a cool, 80’s rockstar-style font for its badge. The three variants are the base X, the middle-spec H, and the top-of-the-line AV. All three are powered by

The cat’s out of the bag – During the launch of the 2022 Proton Saga MC2 earlier today, Proton’s CEO Dr Li Chunrong said, "Over the next 2 years, we will launch at least 3 brand-new models". That pretty much confirms that Proton will be launching not one, not two, but at least three brand-new models over the next 2 years, starting from 2023. Geely Haoyue-based Proton X90 – Largest SUV yet The first one isn’t too hard to guess, as the model has been spotted in Malaysia a few times already. We’re

Perodua’s technical partner Daihatsu is expected to launch its first hybrid 7-seater multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) in Japan in October 2021. Details are still lacking but the model will certainly ride on Daihatsu’s latest DNGA platform, which is developed to accommodate hybrid drivertrains. The recently launched Perodua Ativa is the first DNGA-based model for our region. Two powertrain options are mentioned as possible candidates – a Toyota-sourced 1.5-litre hybrid (shared with Yaris Cross), or a

The Perodua Alza is a 7-seater MPV that was introduced here back in 2009, which makes it one of the oldest new cars you can purchase today. Despite being 11 years old, Perodua won’t be pulling the plug on the Alza just yet, as the company recently reiterated that it won’t be discontinued any time soon. Developing a brand-new Alza isn’t Perodua’s top priority at the moment, as the MPV market is slowing down and Perodua's main focus is SUVs. The Alza has also been Perodua’s slowest-selling model,

Malaysia’s (and the rest of Asia’s) most loved status symbol wheels – the Toyota Alphard and Toyota Vellfire twins – have been updated for 2020. Both the Alphard’s and Vellfire’s list of safety features have been bumped up further with the addition of Toyota Safety Sense’s full suite of advanced driving aids (ADAS). It now comes with Pre-Collision System, Lane Departure Alert, Lane Tracing Assist, Dynamic Radar Cruise Control (with stop-go), automatic high beam, and accelerator pedal misapplicat
