First launched in 2019, the Perodua Aruz is due for a mid-lifecycle update. There was a very minor specs update in 2021, adding side steps, new Passion Red colour, and auto door lock, with no change in styling.
This facelifted 2023 Daihatsu Terios that was launched in Indonesia today could provide some hints to our upcoming Perodua Aruz facelift. The Daihatsu Terios / Toyota Rush are sister cars to the Perodua Aruz.

Typical for a mid-lifecycle update, there is no change to the powertrain. The 2NR-VE 1.5-litre 4-cylinder Dual VVT-i engine is retained, paired to a 4-speed automatic transmission (a 5-speed manual is also available for Indonesia).
The front-end design has been heavily revised – new LED headlamps, new front bumper and grille, but little is changed at the rear.
Inside, there’s now a new instrument panel, wireless charger for compatible smartphones, and the 7-inch touch screen infotainment now supports Android Auto and Apple Car Play, with 360-degree parking camera. The dashboard is now lined with softer materials.
There’s still no driving assistance features on the Indonesian market Terios, unlike our local A.S.A 2.0-equipped Perodua Aruz.
The outgoing Perodua Aruz currently sells for between RM 72,900 to RM 77,900. It is currently the slowest selling Perodua. Just around 5 percent of Perodua’s total production goes to the Aruz.
