Are you up or down with the 2022 Perodua Alza's (D27A) Gear Up accessories?

The all-new 2022 Perodua Alza might receive many brownie points for looking cooler than its predecessor but some owners might think a stock Alza would not sit well with their personality. Luckily, Perodua offers a solution for the overwhelmingly popular 7-seater.

While you stay tuned for our extensive review of the second-generation Alza, we pitted two Alzas for a side-by-side comparison of looks. Both variants seen here are the top-of-the-line AV variants which start from RM 75,500 but the one in Vintage Brown is fitted with the Gear Up accessories.

Compared to the Myvi facelift, the bodykits around the Alza look fairly subtle. There’s no Pikachu-esque growl on the front with only the front splitter below the front bumper being the only addition. That splitter also comes with a couple of strips of DRLs near the corners so it won’t look entirely empty.

The bodykit accessories continue in the back with a rear bumper kit and a rear spoiler for some sporty personality. Altogether, the body-coloured Prime bodykit starts from RM 2,500.

Also equipped on the exterior of the Vintage Brown Alza are Gear Up door visors which cost RM 160 and a set of wheel lock nuts which starts from RM 200. The latter should keep pesky tyre thieves from taking those rubber threads.

Stepping inside, owners could opt for two-tone Prime seat covers that are made from PVC materials. These are available for all three variants of the Alza and start from RM 1,000.

If you wish for more light for the Alza, you could install floor lighting for the front and rear (from RM 250) and LED scuff plates (from RM 300).

The Vintage Brown Alza that is also used for our upcoming review is also equipped with a utility package that starts from RM 390 and comes with the aforementioned door visors, a luggage tray, and coil mats.

Just like any Perodua Gear Up models, performance remains the same. The Alza is only available with a naturally-aspirated 1.5-litre 2NR-VE (106 PS/138 Nm) that is paired with a D-CVT automatic gearbox across all 3 variants:

• Alza 1.5 X - RM 62,500
• Alza 1.5 H - RM 68,000
• Alza 1.5 AV - RM 75,500

Looking at both Alzas with and without the Gear Up kit, most of us in the team prefer the stock standard look but at least the bodykits don’t seem to be quite as overly striking as those on the Myvi or the Ativa.

The low stance and crossover appearance are appealing enough on their own but if one is looking to get accessorized (officially, not via e-shopping motorsports divisions), the Alza’s Gear Up accessories are just right.
