Perodua ramps up Alza production, cuts short waiting time

Perodua ramps up Alza production, cuts short waiting time

Perodua has announced that the waiting period for the Alza has been reduced from 2 months to 3 weeks. Managing director Aminar Rashid Salleh said that this was made possible by increasing production of the MPV within these past few weeks. To date, Perodua has received more than 30,500 bookings and has delivered around 20,000 units of the Alza. The company is looking to hit 4,000 units per month for its newest model.

“Our car sales in April totalled some 15,900 units or 33.9% market share (based on Perodua’s Total Industry Volume estimate of 47,000 units) beating our target of 15,500 units. April achievement was also 29.4% higher than the 12,300 units sold in the same month last year. However, the 15,900 units sold was 14.1% lower compared with the 18,500 units (Perodua’s record) achieved in March 2010,” Aminar revealed.

Unsurprisingly, Perodua’s (and Malaysia’s) best selling model in April is the evergreen Myvi with 6,300 units. The company accounts for 33.9% market share, up from 32.9% in March. “We are also on course to achieve our 176,000 units sales by registration target this year. For the first 4 months of 2010, we have sold 63,700 units, ahead of the 59,900 units planned,” a happy En Aminar said.

      Alza sales eat into Myvi territory. The price also make the difference. Alza is actually alternative for sedan. Those who really want a real MPV they go for Livina, Exora, Innova. Plus there are so many overhyped about Perodua quality because its parent company is Daihatsu-Toyota.

        Bro, you cannot compare Persona with Myvi or Alza. The quality level is too far apart.
        You should compare Persona with Civic1.8 in term of quality and riding performance. Even new Honda City also cannot compare to Persona.

    • Green Fuel on May 18, 2010 at 10:53 am

      Maybe 1.5 is too small for you to drag, and the boot does not work well when you are drifting. But in Malaysia there is more and more people looking for an affordable car, with acceptable performance, and some extra space in the car. I still remember I saw a Civic 2.0 2nd roll pack with 3 adults and 2 children (really danger move to load a total of 7 passanger in a civic). The car look good enough, run fast enough, but there is not enough space for the whole family.

  • Good news from Perodua, I own Kancil 850cc & Myvi 1.3 before, the services centre is much more better than the lousy EON, nothing to compete at all, well done PERODUA, if Toyota Rush / Perodua Nautica become Perodua Kembara and selling price RM55K-RM60K is much more better, I guarantee to get 1,

    Kancil & Myvi, i can say Myvi is the best.

      I think Perodua managed to make car buyers feel that they are really buying high quality products at low prices. Whether this is true or not, is of course can be argued forever — until the fat lady sings also never end one.

      But the products is promoted as a Japanese equivalent but produced locally. The colours for their cars are also interesting and appeal to the fairer sex as well.

      I went to Perodua service center in Ipoh, it was much better that the Nissan’s one. And they also displayed (for sale) Toyota Passo parts there — further strengthening the “Japanese Quality” thing.

      Basically they are saying to their customers that “you’re buying a high quality Japanese product and we take care of you just like you’re buying the real thing”.

      Of course this improvement were done over time. I used to go to Perodua’s sevice center 10 years ago. It was not much different from EON’s or Proton Edar’s ones. They have changed and improved quickly while Proton were repeating the same mistakes over and over again.

      Can’t say much about the “new” Proton though. I have given up on them.

      In total agreement!! The P2 Service Center in Serdang/Sri Kembangan has been serving me very well, not only they do their job fast & properly, they are polite and helpful too. My Myvi is 2 years and 4 months old, gotto admit i did face some problems before, like:1 of my power window, lower arm rattling, noise-making disc brakes and the boot hydraulic… But i got all fixed without paying a single cent. They did they best to save customer’s wallet from bleeding.

      Pertama sekali aku nak ucapkan jutaan terima kasih kepada pengunjung yang memberi info ini kerana kita dapat kongsikan bersama. Aku harap pengunjung yang mempunyai Alza dapat memberi maklum balas mengenai masalah seperti di bawah :

      1) Masalah Bunyi – Bunyian dari tingkap
      – Punca : ia dtg dari cermin kecil sebelah side mirror sebelah kanan.. dan dia ckp keluaran tahun 2010, masalah ni takkan timbul. [ty: bro @sacredturd]
      – Penyelesaian : hantar ke SC letak silikon Hitam 2 settle. * info : @obes295

      2) Bila Brek Berbunyi
      – Punca : tidak pasti sama ada berpunca daripada keadaan brek yang masih baru.
      – Penyelesaian : Tunggu Respon daripada HQ Service Center

      3) Bunyi Enjin Kuat pada kelajuan 110-130
      – Punca : ?
      – Penyelesaian : Tunggu Respon daripada HQ Service Center

      4) 3rd Row Seat side Kanan Panas bila Pemanduan lama
      – Punca : ekzos di bawah seat tu sebabkan kepanasan?
      – Penyelesaian : Tunggu Respon daripada HQ Service Center atau ianya adalah kes terpencil?

      5) Bila hujan turun bunyi bising dari atas kereta Alza macam duduk dalam rumah beratap zink. Dah pergi ke SC Perodua (servis pertama 1000km)
      – Punca : dan jawapannya bunyi tu sama dengan semua kereta keluaran Perodua. Kalau betul pun saya tak ada masaalah dengan kereta Proton (tak kan Proton lebih baik ?).
      – Penyelesaian : Pergi buat sound insulations

      6) Rustproff bawah kereta Alza tak dibuat 100% covered. Saya jumpa few sections di undercarriage yang tak di spray dengan rustproof coating. Potential untuk berkarat.
      – Punca: robotic spraying program tak betul.
      – Penyelesaian : –

      7) Paint coating yang tak sama tebal (nipis pada bahagian bend) pada badan kerata Alza.
      – Punca: robotic spraying program tak betul.

      8) Bila Pasang Aircond Berbunyi Cit Cit Cit (mcm tikus)
      – Punca : Aircond Belt tidak ketat
      – Penyelesaian : hantar SC dan suruh ketatkan tali belt.

    Can anybody please direct me to the person-in-charge-of-complaints for Perodua?

    Here’s the situation: A family member paid the RM500 booking fee for a Purple Alza 1.5 Advance on 2nd December 2009. We were told by the sales person of One-Builtwell Associates S/B that delivery would be in March 2010.

    On 9th April 2010 we were told to pay the down payment of RM6090. The promise was that the car would be delivered `next week’.

    Till today the show room staff still keep saying `next week’.

    This bad service reminds me of when we were buying Protons.

    Can somebody please help or suggest a recourse for this situation?

      bro,One Builtwell sucks.

      I buy my Myvi from them.Same problem.Very late delivery,a lot of next week promises.

      Never recommend the shop to any other sane person.I am still owed by them my downpayment as banks have released my loan that actually also covered my downpayment (I dont know why this happens,over loaning?)I am still waiting to get my refund back as the OTR price I am paying is over one thousand plus the original OTR price.

      Who’s your sales rep?You can read my stories on the Perodua Motor Trader forum.If we have more people,I think we can make a formal complaint as separate cases normally wont be taken seriously.

      ONE BUILTWELL SDN BHD IN JALAN SEMARAK,TOTALLY SUCKS..
      One thing that I learn from my experience here…

      Never ever buy a Perodua from agent.
      Buy it straight from Perodua Branch.

        semalam dia bagi alasan baru; kena reapply bank loan… dan tiba-tiba sangkut pulak. Yang peliknya, kali pertama apply dah approve. hmmm… aku kena check la kalau ini taktik utk paksa kita gunakan loan yang dah dinaikkan interest rate…

        mungkin disebabkan kejayaannya sekarang, perodua dah mula riak dan tak hiraukan customer lagi… maklumlah, kita ni sape? nak beli kereta pun, yg mampu hanya yg murah… dan yg murah takde byk choice yg munasabah.

        takpe la… org2 yg menganiaya org lain pasti akan terima balasannya…

          bro,
          ni bukan salah Perodua.aku ada member,beli tempat lain 2 minggu je setel.Yang urusan senang,semua beli kat branch.

          kalau loan bank dah approve dan dah keluar COE dan kau dah dapat salinan dia (aku pun dah tak ingat apa nama dokumen tu) kiranya urusan loan tu setel la.ada bank call ko?kau cuba call Ambank tanya pasal hire purchase kau (situ pakai Ambank).Kalau bank kata dah lulus,sah2 dia kelentong kau.

          loan hanya akan diapply balik kalau kau mintak tukar model kereta,sama ada downgrade atau upgrade model.serius,aku ckp kat kau..kalau kau nak cepat,pegi ofis dia,jumpa manager dia.Aku gi jumpa manager dia.Gelabah sales rep tu terus setelkan.

          kompeni Melayu,nak keluar kereta dari kilang,duit tak cukup nak bayar,(syarat nak ambik kereta dr kilang dealer kena bayar dulu)jadi biasanya diorang hold dulu dan cepatkan mana order yang downpayment besar sebab duit nak keluar tak byk.

          aku pun dah boring.aku suh ambik auto,dia kata bole dapat sebulan.lepas 2 bulan,dia kata ada model manual.aku berdegil jugak,lepas habis lagi sebulan baru dapat.tak dapat pun kaler yang aku nak.sape nama sales rep kau?selamba aje kau tulis sini.takyah nak takut2.bila downpayment dah bayar dia lagi liat la…

          last resort,kau pegi jumpa cutomer rep dia,kata nak tarik balik order.
          one builtwell ni mmg dah agak femes dalam internet dgn problem dia.aku pun tau lepas aku dah order sbb member aku beli situ ok,sebulan je.tp dpayment 15 ribu la.laju aje dia uruskan.

    Th reason why perodua can deliver their car faster is because many parts of the car were manufactured outside malaysia example Indonesia,then they just brought in and assembled it,compare to proton who almost 90% of their parts are manufactured on their own,thats why proton always have problem to deliver their car in time.

      Please clarify your claim with facts, P2 need to be up to certain % of locally sourced parts to qualify as local car. afaik, P2 made their Alza engine locally in their own plants. Even proton source their cylinder heads from P2.

          P2 sabotage P1. Supplying rejected engine cylinder to P1. That’s why Campro got problematic. P1 try to help his younger brother by giving business but this young brother, P2 try to take control their family (M’sia). Hmm.. derhaka lawan abang.

          MU try again next seasons.
          MU = P1
          Chelsea = P2
          Arsenal = Naza
          Liverpool = Inokom

          It is still expensive what with COE. And to say Proton cars in Malaysia much more expensive, you’re ignoring the fact that Proton cars ARE TAXED as well here.

        Kenari SG$ 5,412 = RM 12k++

        Hm… now who was it that say Proton overprice? Or it’s the govt that over-tax? Ok, these may be cost price, but even after add profit margin, I can see big chucks going to the govt.

    Hi Paul,

    Please help us forward our issues with Alza to Perodua technical department. Hopefully they will come out permanent workable solution. My location is Seberang Perai, I wish to had my problem settled in Seberang Jaya service center.

    1) Wind noise problem, first time do never change anything. They only adjust the triangle glass mounting and tighten it back. Result : Still noise when crusing at about 80km/h.
    2) Air compressor sharp noise. Only heard when the compressor is kick in. Like sharp metal knocking sound. What they do is only release the air cond gas and refill it to the normal level. Claim by them is the gas level too low. But result : Still same noise appear.

    Please help!

    Wah so many complaints regarding Alza, personally I don’t like this wagon.
    But why we are so proud of it. Such a small wagon with such a big price.

    To those with noise like air coming from triangle window, please check the
    rubber, if it is not attached firmly to the metal part, just put black silicon glue.
    It will settle the problem. Check-out when driving at 120kmh. Should not have air
    sound. But better result, install air press.

    The engine has not enough power, just imagine 1KW need to pull 15.6kg. This is
    underpower. So do not overload the engine by driving at high speed. This wagon should be driven at max 90kmh I guess. Definately, if overload than it becomes noisy.

    I had heard different service center putting different counter measure on the wind noise and air cond noise problem, I’m not sure why Perodua HQ didn’t come up with a standard guideline to get it fix once and forever. I really hate to pay a visit to service center for so many trip, as you know at least we had to spent around half day there, and the problem is fixed or not fixed we don’t know yet.
    I had saw some already fixed the wind noise, the solution is to change the part so called weatherstrip(I guess is the rubber securing the glass). But why they didn’t replace it on my car?
    Also on the air cond noise, it should be something to do with the magnetic clutch. But they just ignore to check it. Maybe it is difficult to check or replace, I don’t know.

    Besides this, of course mine also having the roof noise during raining, front brake pad dust dirt, & antirust paint not spray correctly and evenly problem. But I believe these problem is not fixable, we have to use our own pocket money to add insulator and change to a better brake pad. So just wait and see the response from Perodua.

  • Which one better….P1 or P2? If many people vote P2…then perhaps, P2 should take over P1. Give P2 a chance to revamp P1….in terms of Safety, Quaity, Cost, Delivery, Environment and Morale. P1…it is time for “REFORMASI”…

The sales man told me myvi just can deliver on july or may be august because perodua concentrate on manufacture alza order. How can be like that? Need customer waiting 4-5 months to get myvi. :(

  • If any one want to buy ALZA please check it properly before you get the car like example. The color of the car, as every body know if you book the color of silver. The interior & exterior color must be same. But when get the pearl white color ALZA, the interior is solid white & only the exterior is pearl white. I feel given P2 cheat………..

      From 3.75% for 9 years hire purchase, to 4.00% last March, and last week at 4.25%. It is expected by year end it will reach 5.00%. BNM revised the OPR by 0.25% each time of their meeting. This will also affected the BLR for housing loan. Still remember before 1998, the intrest it at 8% for new car.

          If you’re in the private sector blame the companies la. They’re raking unbelievable amount of profits yet don’t want to share the profits with the people who made the profits possible in the first place. Go on strike! In America & Europe strikes are very common, but in Malaysia I have yet to hear of workers striking. But, when salary rose, who’s the first to benefit? Unscrupulous businesses who needlessly raise prices! Why don’t you blame them? Their selfish acts causes daily expenses to rise, but nobody ever take any action. For instance, petrol price goes up, suddenly everything goes up as well, as if the products are delivered by petrol using trucks! If someone calls for a boycott, then do it! Don’t grumble and continue to consume the stuff!

          Plus the reason why interest rates are going to rise is to curb inflation. It’s also a sign of an improving economy since interest rates are kept low only when the economy is bad to stimulate spending.

          So rather than cursing other people, adjust your lifestyle. Budget spending. Don’t buy superfluous things that you don’t need. Rather than asking people to change for you, YOU CHANGE ON YOUR OWN!

            Number one – I’m not a high income worker. What I’m saying I base on facts that I’ve learnt when I studied.

            Number two – Do you know one of the causes of inflation? Rising labour cost! Don’t believe me, go and read this website for explanation on causes of inflation in layman terms http://www.wisegeek.com/what-causes-inflation.htm

            Yes there are many factors, but WE have the power to control OUR financial destiny. Stop blaming others when YOU can change it on your own. Stop trying to keep up with the Joneses, stop practicing the “Biar Papa Asal Bergaya” mentality, and if you open up your own business, no matter what business you’re in, STOP GOUGING OTHERS TO GAIN QUICK PROFITS! If EVERYONE change THEMSELVES than EVERYONE CAN LIVE A BETTER LIFE!
