Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The Aruz 6airbags and ASA2.0 protect loved ones
I rather buy this car than a China made car that has been REJECTED by all First World countries. Do you know Geely tried to sell Boyue (X70) in many first world countries but it failed?
Ask yourself why it failed. 95% of all Boyue only can be sold in China.
All x70 buyers cancelled booking. All switch to aruz. They wanna save rm13k (rm77k vs rm99k x70) and buy aruz. Rm13k can change sport rim, tinted, simple ICE, lower kits oredy. Can save rm46k and convert aruz to turbo engine (rm123 full spec x70 – full spec aruz = rm46k)
X70 123k, after 3 yrs value goes rm80k(nobody wanna buy, berdebu), after 5 yrs value goes rm50k(nobody wanna buy boleh timbang kilo)
Arus rm77k after 3 yrs value goes rm65k(alot people still gonna buy), after 5 yrs value goes rm55k(still alot people gonna buy also). X70 RV goin to be bad.
And Haval sold more H6 than boyue in China.
That is right! For Proton to stay relevant, they must offer promosi 777. 7year warranty, 7year free servis, 70sen subsidi se liter petrol. Then might stand a chance .
That is right! And also the Aruz will neutralize the X70
Spare part X70 banyak mahal. Sama harga Volvo. Sebab sama company. Tolong pikir masak masak ya
X70 already Dead on Arrival (DOA)
Pity all the paid cybertroopers today. All dont know what to say.
RM72k vs RM123k – no brainer to choose.
Proton X70 CBU quality vs P2 local pnya quality
Tahukah anda 4 Tayar untuk Proton X70 adalah Rm2800???
Tolong pikir masak masak ya
You sure ? 19 inch tyre continental uc6 225/55/19 cost mere 700 bucks a piece ?
Think wise full spec X70 RM123000 – RM77000 Aruz full spec equal to you save RM46000. Dumb RM46000 for Aruz d/p u more save lor.
You buy low spec X70 RM99000 – RM72000 equal to you save RM27000. Dumb for d/p also lor. Think wise before buy between this 2 rival suv.
This is not an X70 rival. If you book for an SUV, would you cancel and buy the Aruz, which is the size of an Alza?
Let see when X70 CKD price vs Aruz…
The upcoming Perodua Aruz has pretty much been the talk of the town ever since the order books were opened this morning. Now that the cat’s out of the bag, we can share with you everything we know about the national carmaker’s seven-seater SUV, which was previewed to the media last month. Everything we know is that the X70 has finished badly!
This is why so many people this morning cancelled their orders of X70. Proton lied to us got 15,000 orders in the first place. Now, it is even lesser
Wah, now the comment section already filled with fake Authors ah?
Rakyat always trust P2. At least SC won’t laugh at you and tell you, “Bang in Proton lah, what do you expect?,” when you go to SC and complain to repair.
Back to back launches of Perodua Aruz and Proton X70 as well new gen A-Class. Clear signs from carmakers stronk confidence in local economy growth and New gov direction.
Crazy to spend RM50k more for a Proton X70. Why spend so much more for a China car when you can get a Japanese Toyota engined SUV for RM50k lesser? Somemore it is a 7 seater
Caya lah P2! Not bad for a national carbrand. Give credits where its due… SUV for rakyat MY.
Too bad nobody cares. Even P2 salesman here need to ride on Jepunis lords glamour and X70 publicity to sell their car. This junk has no merits to stand by itself. So sad. Lolz!
Go to Facebook, you can see pages with thousands of members who are interested in the P2 Aruz.
Rakyat Malaysia will make their choice. People are too scared to buy a fake Volvo that may leave them at the roadside
What i see on fesbuk is many pipu taking selfies with their brand new spanking X70s. So whatcha trying to say?
I went on facebook, i didn’t see such a thing. Fake news again john?
P1 ride of mainlander lords lousy product…oh wait, Geely is falling now even back at home…you think they care about P1?
Pls note that the ISOFIX is actually in the production model… unlike Proton only in crash test sample model only.
Be informed that Perodua Aruz uses seatbelts on the seat as tethers which is proven to be unsafe, while Proton X70 uses top anchor tethers which is vastly superior. Most continental SUVs now comes with top tethers for rear seatbelts.
you sure its in production model? tanya je… u know la, proton got history of removing things in production model.
Yes, absolutely. Go take a look inside the X70.
We do know that Perodua has an infamous history of removing things when they rebadge, such as removing 4 airbags leaving only 2 behind, ripping out ESP & Traction Control, taking out the superior sound proof materials, and wrenching out the full set of driver safety assist leaving only a crippled system as a “selling feature”.
no MT, y should buy this?
buy honda… more powerful engine + CVT…
But 2 airbags n halogens head lights, reused SOHC engine since 20xx years ago?
ha ha ha. first few comments above seriously sounded like same person/group of salesman/troopers. really ka you guys have gone from typical to pathethic? ha ha ha. As I mentioned, the only reason this SUV will sell is because of the price. feature-wise, it is in FACT sub-par. ASA 2.0 is the ONLY new feature, the rest? OLD TECH. Keep using the SALES FIGURES topic only proves how underpaid Malaysians are, which is truly sad! ha ha ha.
“I rather buy this car than a China made car that has been REJECTED by all First World countries. Do you know Geely tried to sell Boyue (X70) in many first world countries but it failed?
Ask yourself why it failed. 95% of all Boyue only can be sold in China.” – what is this supposed to mean?? ha ha ha. I did not see any P2 sold in First world countries either LOL. wait, you mean the big brother of P2, Toyota? you sure those vios & rush is sold worldwide? ’cause I dont see any of those in US, what more other FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES. go on and ride on Toyota & Japan branding P2! at the end of the day, poor people will mostly buy P2, that is the FACT. *drops mic*
get a Aruz + Bezza still cheaper than x70…oh my Proton, you did it again…RIP..
Different level X70, is C segement SUV… Aruz is B and bezza is A segment….of course cheaper…
X70 better because:
*19 inch stunning alloy wheels (unlike Arus 17 inch, even cheaper tires but that is SUV, smaller wheels less stability)
*Stronger unibody because that is C segment SUV par with Rav4 & CRV (unlike Arus B segment SUV par with Rush that for 3rd clas country market will be tin milo car)
*Panoramic sunroof (unlike Arus big SUV does not comes even standard size sunroof)
*High quality material including soft touch plastic for all dashboards (unlike Arus still using loosy hard touch plastic)
*Nappa leather seats that soft, smooth, more premium than normal leather (unlike Arus using fake leather (leatherette)
*Better head unit system (unlike Arus still using 3rd party ah beng head unit, even p2 basher said p1 comes from china but their head unit also comes from china)
*Better sound system with subwoofers (unlike Arus still using loosy 6 speakers)
*power adjusble driver & passanger seats with lumbar support (unlike Arus still using manual adjuster and no lumbar support, not comfortable for fat pipu)
*Full digital colour instrument cluster (unlike Arus still using no colour MID)
* More capable SUV with turbocharged 1.8L engine with higher torque (unlike Arus wonder if fit with 7 people with their NA 1.5L engine, surelah always need to cruise at higher rpm)
*Automatic high beam (unlike Arus, will be disturb to other drivers with their super bright LED like Myvi)
*ADAS safety system better than ASA 2.0 (unlike arus still no adaptive cruise control even don’t have normal cruise control)
*Smooth 6 speed auto transmission (unlike Arus still using 4 speed auto that crappier than CVT)
Aruz is better because it isn’t a China car.
Jepunis cars nowdays become worst & low quality
Abang, of course lah 123k vs 77.2k…. u try compare the maintenance cost over 5 to 10 years, monthly installments which one is more affordable… not all malaysian r rich can afford 100k cars… as long as got good safety spec, affordable to buy, low maintenance cost, good interior/ exterior designs and big spaces for luggage is Good enough…
Yes, but because some pipu are stupid said & bashing aruz are better than x70 because of PRICE. They don’t understand both cars are different segments & different targeted customers.
Dont forget insurance and road tax
RM90 vs RM180? Only 50% cheaper? Insurance? That is RM123k cars, what do you expected?
LOL… Some of the comments are repetitive by the same person(s)
Reality is, a 5 star hotel car valet will gladly park an X70 next to the X5/GLC/Q5 at the hotel entrance compared to the Aruz/Rush. The truth hurts, ain’t it?
Not everyone park aruz at hotel park lol
hmm i am quite shocked at p2 pricing.
first time they selling car at rm70k range?
looks like p2 going premium pricing
Clearly you don’t aware of how much is the OTR price of Perodua Nautica back then, which is also based on Toyota Rush.
But the Nautica was priced 90k as a CBU Japan unit because MITI didnt allow CKD of tht car. This is CKD version. So less tax. CBU Japan assembly quality is alot better than CKD ones.
P2 Aruz wont stand a chance with P1 X70 in all aspects except pricing But if you pay less then you get less in everything, physical, performance and comfort… Hi Proton, close the discussion please….
What?? 4 speed ?? Still using 30 years old gearbox ?? When I look at this, forget about other fanny features… Perodua pls wake up and get rid of 4 speed dinosour
Only gear box is old but still smooth… Dual Vvti is new engine… try check honda Brv SOHC and how old is the engine, should stay in museum already.
Luckily its not called Arul
Toyota fanboi wanted to call it Tergesa-Gesa
Using old avanza engine? This under power for 7 seaters SUV.
Using the current myvi 1.5L engine. Now even Vios using this engine but different gearbox. Part sharing save alot of cost for Toyota.
I like to no the car have double dis or single dis
im using sentra N16 which is 20 years old technology which is using 4 speed At transmission, now in 2018 aruz still use 4 Speed at only… what an disappointment.
I only come here to read the Proton bashing comment *eats popcorn* ^_^
for 72-77k, l prefer to spend my money on a used Subaru XV
72k-79k for Aruz? better to get Alza which save you 20k in price. also 7 seater and 1.5 engine
better buy dmax lol. they give 6k-10k rebate. almost the same price oso but better. lel
I want to import 10 perodua Aruz left steering to Ethiopia market in east Africa , can I know if it is possible to order the left steering option keeping everything same
the car not nice… no buy ok
Car is About individual Requirement All car has their Advantages is all About Personal Needs & Worth Buying car. Aruz is Cheap & Rear Wheel Drive Car. Have good pushing power. Rare in market nowaday. Good for mild offroad. X70 FOR HIGHWAY CRUISE SMOOTH RIDING & POWERFUL ENGINE. Both has its advantages. About comfort, i think about the same. For me Aruz is cheap to buy & nice looking car.
X70 FRONT Look, NEED Some Improvement also we drive safe, not really need so powerful car
If you need powerful car, get X70
So both has it Own Advantages
Peace
