SPIED: 2014 Perodua Alza SE exposed before launch

2014_Perodua_Alza_SE_ 011

Here’s an early look at the 2014 Perodua Alza SE, ahead of its public launch tomorrow at the One Utama Shopping Centre. This particular unit wears an SE badge, which is new to the Alza range. There’s no missing the bright red colour scheme either.

The SE is likely to be the facelifted range’s mid-spec model, sitting below a new range-topper that replaces the current Alza Advanced Version. Unique to it are the all-round bodykit, rear spoiler, grey wheels and clear taillamps. We’ve already seen what the new base model (which will take over from the Alza S-Series) looks like in an earlier set of spyshots here.

Await our comprehensive coverage of tomorrow’s launch, complete with live photos, full details and prices right here on paultan.org.

          Inside story saying Proton is stopping the Inspira and move on with Accord since they have Preve, Inspira is just another “touch and go” by Proton, never serious in what they do- making cars…

Want good ride, upgrade performance parts.. You want good performance standard cars?.. Buy a GTR, WRX, Evo, 86, BRZ etc.. These are performance cars.. No modifications needed.. ( even some ppl still modify for max performance). Got it?

    Nice grey wheels… perfect for hiding the awful amount of brake dusts produced by its original brake pads..:) nice work done on moving the rear bumper reflectors vertically which I think helped improve the rear looks.
    Despite what bashers say, this is one very practical and cheap 5+2 seater vehicle.. nothing great, but gets the job done quite reliably.
