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 a 1.5-litre engine that is paired to a D-CVT automatic. Perodua claims the 7-seater has a fuel consumption of 22 km/L (4.55 L/100 km) with ECO Idle system turned on.
The all-new Alza also has a luggage capacity of 137 litres with all 7 seats up but that is increased to a whopping 498 litres with the third-row seats folded.
Standard features on all three variants are LED headlights, digital front A/C, manual rear A/C, 6 airbags and Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) which features:
Pre-Collision Warning
Pre-Collision Assist Brake (for vehicle and pedestrian)
Being the base model, the X variant seems barebones with an LCD multi-info display (MID), standard audio, manual retractable side mirrors, and only has the basic Perodua Smart Drive Assist (PSDA) pack which includes:
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
Lane Departure Prevention (LDP)
Rear sensors
Auto High Beam (AHB)
Moving up to the mid-range H nets you automatic headlights, auto-retractable side mirrors, a 7” TFT display, a 9” audio display infotainment, and enhanced PSDA features including:
The top-of-the-range AV comes loaded with the full PSDA pack which features:
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
Lane Keep Control (LKC)
Blind Spot Monitor (BSM)
360-degree Panoramic View Monitor
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA)
Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) with Auto Brake Hold
Aside from EPB, the AV is also the only variant to be equipped with 2-tone semi-leather seats. The other two variants sport fabric seats instead.
The all-new Alza is available in five colours which are Glittering Silver, Ivory White, Garnet Red, Elegant Black, and Vintage Brown. The latter three are only available on the H and AV variants.
The second-generation Perodua MPV comes with a 5-year warranty and prices are estimated to start from RM 62,000 for the 1.5 X, RM 68,000 for the 1.5 H, and RM 75,000 for the range-topping 1.5 AV.
