Perodua Aruz SUV specifications compared to the Honda BR-V, Toyota Rush and Proton X70 in Malaysia

Perodua Aruz SUV specifications compared to the Honda BR-V, Toyota Rush and Proton X70 in Malaysia

Perodua recently announced the start of order taking for its new SUV, the Aruz, which is available in two variants – X and AV. With prices starting from a tentative RM72,200 on-the-road without insurance, the seven-seat model marks the national carmaker’s return to the segment, with previous attempts being the Nautica and well-remembered Kembara.

Of course, the Aruz won’t be the only model of its kind in the market when it is officially launched, and it will have to fend off a small number of rivals in the pool it enters. The most obvious is of course the Honda BR-V, a model that has been around since January 2017, and remains a popular choice for those in the market for a budget seven-seat SUV.

Another rival is the vehicle on which the Aruz is based on, the Toyota Rush, with both having a lot in common, particularly where powertrains are involved. The Rush was introduced in October last year with estimated pricing from RM93,000, making it most costly than the Aruz despite their similarities.

Just for comparison’s sake, we’ll even throw in the newly-launched Proton X70 for the heck of it, but given that the C-segment SUV is more expensive – it starts from RM99,800 – and occupies a different segment, don’t take it’s presence here too seriously as a rival to the Aruz. Also, the X70 variant depicted in our table is the top spec Premium 2WD.

As stated above, the inclusion of the X70 is merely for comparison’s sake – had we not included it, many people would be asking for it anyway. In no way are we suggesting that the X70 is a direct competitor to the Aruz. Different segments aside, the gulf in pricing puts them far apart from each other. – Hafriz.

Perodua Aruz SUV specifications compared to the Honda BR-V, Toyota Rush and Proton X70 in Malaysia

In terms of size, the Aruz measures 4,435 mm long, 1,695 mm wide, 1,705 mm tall and has a wheelbase spanning 2,685 mm. These figures are identical to what you get with the Rush, but when compared to the BR-V, the Aruz is shorter (-18 mm) and not as wide (-40 mm). However, it is taller (+39 mm) and has a larger wheelbase (+23 mm) by comparison.

Despite the Aruz’s more substantial wheelbase, its boot space is only 213 litres with all three seat rows in their default position, which is 10 litres less than what the BR-V can offer. As for the X70, the Aruz only beats the C-segment model by height (+11 mm) and wheelbase (+15 mm).

Under the bonnet, the Aruz sports a 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that makes 104 hp and 136 Nm. The 2NR-VE Dual VVT-i mill, also found in the Myvi, is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission, with drive going to the rear wheels. This setup is also used in the Rush, and both come with an engine idle automatic start/stop function (Perodua calls theirs ‘Eco Idle’).

Meanwhile, the BR-V also features a 1.5 litre NA powerplant, although its SOHC i-VTEC unit makes more power than the Aruz and Rush with 119 hp and 145 Nm. Also, a CVT is the transmission of choice to direct power frontwards. All three cars have a claimed fuel consumption figure of between 15.5 to 15.6 kilometres per litre.

The X70, with its 1.8 litre turbo engine, clearly makes the most power out of the four at 182 hp and 285 Nm, and can be had in front- or all-wheel drive, with a six-speed automatic being standard across its entire range.

The Aruz is rather well equipped for its price, with LED headlamps, 17-inch alloy wheels, manual single-zone air-conditioning with rear blower vents, seven-inch head unit, built-in Touch n Go reader, power/charging outlets for all three seat rows, keyless entry and start, It gets better at the top end, with the AV gaining automatic on/off functionality for the headlamps, HDMI input for the head unit, leather wrapped controls, leather seats and a digital video recorder (DVR).

Focusing on the BR-V, the Honda’s list of standard equipment on its two variants (E and V) include halogen projector headlamps, LED DRLs, 16-inch alloys, standard head unit, single-zone air-conditioning with rear blower vents, front power outlet. Only the range-topping V variant of the BR-V adds on front fog lamps, leather upholstery, automatic air-conditioning and a 6.1-inch touchscreen display audio system with HDMI input.

Looking at the safety kit of the cars, the Aruz range comes with six airbags, Vehicle Stability Assist, ABS, EBD, Brake Assist, Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control and second-row Isofix child seat anchors as standard, which is similar to what the Rush offers. The BR-V makes do with two airbags but gets the regular array of systems and items: Vehicle Stability Assist (VSA), ABS, EBD, Hill Start Assist (HSA) and second-row Isofix child seat anchors.

Perodua Aruz SUV specifications compared to the Honda BR-V, Toyota Rush and Proton X70 in Malaysia

The big-ticket item for the Aruz is the availability of Perodua’s Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) 2.0 suite for the AV variant, which is similar to the ASA in the Myvi Advance (Pre-Collision Warning, Pre-Collision Braking, Front Departure Alert and Pedal Misoperation Control), but further improved.

With ASA 2.0, pedestrian detection has been added and works at speeds of up to 50 km/h. Other enhancements include higher operational speeds of Pre-Collision Warning to 100 km/h and Pre-Collision Braking to 80 km/h (from 30 km/h). While ASA 2.0 is similar in spec as the Toyota Rush’s Pre-Collision System, the Aruz doesn’t come with a blind spot monitor with rear-cross traffic alert. Furthermore, the Perodua is not offered with a Panoramic View Monitor with four cameras like the Rush.

The BR-V doesn’t come with an equivalent system to ASA 2.0, but despite that, all four vehicles listed here qualify for a five-star safety rating from ASEAN NCAP. Unsurprisingly, the X70’s Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) is more comprehensive as it also includes things the Aruz and Rush doesn’t have like Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Door Opening Warning System (DOW) and Intelligent High Beam Control (HBC).

With the Aruz topping out at an estimated RM77,200 for the top spec AV variant, the Perodua SUV certainly makes for an attractive prospect given its equipment list relative to its rivals. Which one would you prefer?

        After test drive that honda brv I personally already removed it from my favourite list, the driving experience was awful, the car feel heavy, slow respond, not comfortable. It was me and the salesman 2 of us inside the car and I already felt the car was lack of power, imagine while the car full loaded with 7 peoples and luggage, the car will struggle a lot, the fuel consumption would be bad in this case, strongly not recommend this car.

    Common sense. Most Malaysians will buy a car with a Toyota/Daihatsu engine in it. Toyota engines are sold in over 200 countries Globally.

    Now somemore even better. Rm50k lesser than the X70!!!!!

    Proton X70 is the Boyue. Boyue is 95% sold only in China. Geely tried their best to sell the Boyue (x70) in First World Western Countries like UK, US, Switzerland, Germany but it was REJECTED by ALL First World Countries.

    Ask yourself this….why did ALL First World Countries REJECT the Boyue?……Mesti ada sebab

    Why buy a Rejected car that cost RM50k more?

    No matter what goreng all the Proton cybertroopers may say, cheap la, axle patah lah etc etc, at the end of the day, Perodua sales is always 4X Proton sales.

    From 20 years ago already, Proton fanboys and cybertroopers will try to busuk nama Perodua. But everytime they fail.

    And each time Proton launches a car, they say it is a game changer. But instead of game changer, the sales become kaput.

    This is why Perodua sales is 220.000 last year and Proton is 55,000 despite Proton getting all the Government and Ministerial department orders for Government vehicles.

    In just 6 months, Perodua sold 100,000 Myvis. But Proton sold only 3000 Iriz

    So bandingkan lah, 100,000 VS 3000. the rakyat has already spoken!

    Today, it is even worse cause Aruz is RM50k cheaper than Proton X70

    The X70 has a potential to be a good car. However, the reliability has yet to be proven.

    China-made cars have a bad reputation for their reliability and RV. No wonder they are more rare than a Ferrari.

    Malaysians would prefer to be safe and buy a award-winning Japanese rebadged car. Soon, the new Aruz will get at least 400 bookings per day.

    As stated above, the inclusion of the X70 is merely for comparison’s sake – had we not included it, many people would be asking for it anyway. In no way are we suggesting that the X70 is a direct competitor to the Aruz. Different segments aside, the gulf in pricing puts them far apart from each other. – Hafriz.

    -Aiya malaysian, itu penulis sudah kasitau awal awal, itu P1 x70 bukan direct competitor sama itu P2 Aruz. Still ada jugak mau compare price, mau bash sana sini situ.

    The comparison is for the sake of information. The Aruz/Rush and BRV are in a different segment to the X70 so don’t make the assumption the buyers are the same. Each will have their own supporters and buyers and if at the end of the day Perodua sells more Aruz than Proton sells X70 let’s not forget it’s a more affordable car and therefore more people can afford it.

    Let’s put it this way. If Perodua sells 45,000 Aruz in 2019 and Proton sells 30,000 X70 would you call the Proton a failure? No because it would be a premium priced Proton vehicle that literally doubled the C-segment SUV market at its first attempt. Perodua would be laughing to the bank too, assuming they don’t cannibalise any of their current range.

    The real test is when the smaller SUV from PROTON comes out. That would be a proper head to head with the Aruz, except that one is far more modern than the other. That would be a real battle to see if PROTON’s brand image is better than it was before.

    BTW. Why does one brand have to be soooooo much better than the other in here? I think both have played a part in developing Malaysia and while one is far ahead in terms of sales right now the other one is fighting to bring itself back up to where it was. Is seeing both succeed such a bad thing?

And Proton staff keep having jobs and dont have to find new greenfields – got food on table is good enough. Important thing is Geely can sell their cars in malaysia through proton.

Is Haval’s owner as respectable in China as Li Shufu? No. If Haval was to sell their Chinese cars through Proton, Malaysians will just see it as a crap Chinese car and Proton has hit rock bottom. But instead, Proton choose to partner with a respectable Chinese brand. Not the same. Yes, Haval sells more SUVs than BoYue because that is all they sell. But they are not at the same level as Geely.
