Next-gen 2022 Perodua Alza to get 6 airbags and AEB 01

After 12 years of being on sale, Perodua will be retiring the Perodua Alza very soon. The Alza is currently the only Perodua model without stability control – a feature even the cheaper Axia has.

In the past, we have established that the next-generation Perodua Alza will be a twin model to the all-new Toyota Avanza, mimicking a similar arrangement with the Perodua Aruz and Toyota Rush.

If you haven’t guessed, both the next-gen Perodua Alza and all-new Toyota Avanza will be developed on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) – the very same platform that underpins the Perodua Ativa.

The next-gen Alza will get the Myvi's 1.5-litre engine

As before, the next-generation Perodua Alza will be a front-wheel drive model. It will also be getting a similar 1.5-litre engine, albeit a newer 2NR-VE Dual VVT-i unit. The dated four-speed automatic will be dropped in favour of a CVT-type automatic.

Oily bits aside, the next-gen Perodua Alza could be fitted with six airbags and autonomous emergency braking – the latter will put it toe-to-toe with its stablemates.

The Ativa is the first Perodua model to offer ACC

But that’s not all. Owing to the next-gen Alza’s price positioning, it will likely mirror the Perodua Ativa’s safety equipment, which could see the addition of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Keep Assist (LKA).

Why combine the Toyota Avanza and Perodua Alza into one model?

Simple – seeing that both Toyota and Daihatsu are aiming to streamline their product portfolio in this region, it makes sense to combine both ageing MPVs into one model.

The Alza’s donor car, the Japan-market Daihatsu Boon Luminas and Toyota Passo Sette, have been discontinued for more than 10 years, thus explaining why Perodua did not launch an updated model.
