The first major car launch taking place in Malaysia this year will be the new Perodua Aruz, and we’re bringing you an exclusive livestream of the event, so you can watch the seven-seat SUV celebrate its debut from wherever you have internet access.
Perodua’s new SUV model represents the national carmaker’s return to the segment, with previous models being the Nautica and the memorable Kembara. Much like those models, it is based on the Daihatsu Terios, which also doubled as the basis for the first- and second-generation Toyota Rush.
Based on early information, the Aruz will come with a 1.5 litre Dual VVT-i engine with a four-speed automatic transmission. Two variants will be offered, and the range topper comes as standard with Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) 2.0, which includes Pre-Collision Warning and Pre-Collision Braking, among other features.
Tentative pricing for the Aruz places it between RM72,200 for the entry-level X variant and RM77,200 for the top-spec AV – on-the-road price without insurance. We’ll get full details when the Aruz is launched, and you can check out our dedicated info hub of the upcoming SUV model for more information.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
This will make cybertroopers FURIOUS.
I can feel the sense of paranoia.
It’s time for someone to work at Metrojaya!
The time has come! john X70 telah gagal
No matter what. I will still get the X70 becoz its more superior car and I am patriotic Malaysian.
now its a china car rebadged, better support P2, doesnt matter anymore whether patriotic or no, still its a china build and engineering.
As if P2 doesn’t rebadge. The day P2 comes out with own platform/chassis, power train, chassis tuning and interior packaging, then you can talk loud.
XC60 and X70 killer.
When your p2 starts giving safer, meaningful cars to the rakyat and not garbage, then I’ll reevaluate such an unprofessional, unnecessary comment.
Habisla john!! The X70 exterminator has been released
Have been driving Perodua SUV Kamlampa for many years, no thanks for another Perodua SUV, driving 100km/h rpm already at 4.5k.
This car will outsell the X70. Don’t get me wrong, the X70 is a good car. Actually, all new Proton cars are good.
The problem is their lembap workers and salesmen. Always drinking tea 8 times everyday and spreading fake news.
Then when you send your car for repair at SC, they will say “Bang, ni Proton bang. Biaselah, what do you expect?”
P2 has great cars and also great service. That’s why banyak rakyat Malaysia beli
Perodua Aruz will not sell well. The reason is because Aruz is actually doesn’t even have lots of safety features and having basic specs which doesn’t even have Blind Spot Monitor, No Rear Cross Traffic Alert, No Digital Video Recorder, No Panaromic View Monitor with 4 cameras and No 360 degree camera and no Automatic Air Cond. Whereas Rush have professional safety features and having lots of technological features including Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Digital Video Recorder, Panaromic View Monitor with 4 cameras and 360 degree camera and Auto Air Conditoner. Especially, X70 have lots of technological features and lots of safety features. So overall Rush and X70 will sell well than Aruz
Not very worth to buy Perodua
You want those features (accessories)? just add them back by couple of thousands..and i’m confident..they’ll cost below 10k at some available shops..or even better, P2 can let it as options can be added later in special package..so, can get back on same floor with 2nd Rush..why pay much for same features..buang duit maa..
Technically, yes. But reality is, have you seen any Rush on the road? I have seen none around in PJ & Puchong area, although it has been officially launched almost 3 month ago. I guess people already knew about P2 will rebadge it and sell at much cheaper price. Price over badge.
clearly you must’ve not own any car before. dunno the power of perodua
Perodua cars got power? Not with that underpowered lump they call an engine.
What does it means by safety for automatic air conditioning? Bila hati driver panas air cond blh auto adjust?
Uols are supposed to be launching your car; Aruz. But seems like uols are not talking about Aruz but Proton X70. X70! X70! X70! X70! As a consumer, if P2 sales staff starts to talk only about their competitor, I am really, very interested to know more about this competitor: X70.
Aruz? Huh? Got such a car exist? But P2 have been talking about X70 since Day One. Why would I want to buy their product when they keep telling me about X70?
he is not a perodua salesman. he never said that he was one. he is a concerned and curious person among the rakyat
Actually my experience is contrary to you, when I send my Perodua car to service centre to do normal service, I don’t know them how to charge and calculate then cost me RM1000 plus!!! After service, the car become even more problems and repair few times can’t detect the root of caused. Then the foreman told me like what you say “Bang, ni Perodua bang. Biasalah, what do you expect?” These few words make me so angry.
After my pay get better I sell the problematic Perodua and never enter Perodua showroom again. My impression of Perodua is big liar, lousy design and lousy service.
As long as Perodua brings in Toyota or Daihatsu technology,with regards to reliable engine n gearbox, rest assured sales will be Blockbuster.Protong will be playing catch up with Tongsan technology.
of course its going to sell well.. its a perodua, and the price is super competitive.. but you are totally wrong to compare it with X70.. people who are willing to put down over RM100k for a Proton, are not going to buy the Aruz.
I’ve known a Proton salesman (Setapak branch) that do her work efficiently. Always updated me about the car status & all every day back when i bought a Persona with her last year. The car should be delivered within a week but there’s a problem with Proton’s cargo lorry from Tanjung Malim and it would take longer so what she did is she went all the way to TM and drove the car back to KL by herself and i got the car within a week, impressive. One of a kind Proton salesman i must say.
Only P2 salespipu is so proud of his 3rd world only junks. Kesian. Meanwhile at P1: https://paultan.org/2019/01/15/spied-lynk-co-01-lhd-unit-spotted-in-malaysia/
Bang, ini Aziz biaselah…asyik recycle cerita basi tu guna nama beza2. What do you expect?
This is the “REAL” Game Changer!!!
Habislaaa Proton X70!!
Ya, u will surprise that the sales just like Nautica only sold 200 over units after launch to market some time.
Cannot compare to nautica. It was a cbu japan unit priced at 90k+ which is very expensive already those days. Considering Kembara at most cost 60k+.
Ya, u will surprise that the sales just like Myvi can sold 70000 over units after launch to market some time
I surprise that you compare a hatchback to SUV, well done.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daihatsu_Terios#Perodua_Nautica
Mimpi Ngeri!!! Nuuuu!!! X70 killer is coming to town!
X70 will have diehards,no matter what we say.Just like recenly Proton sales shot up cos of video showing Tun in original Proton Saga.Hardcore diehards rush to place orders for Campro powered Protons.These addicts buy according to IMPULSE.But make no mistake,when people realise X70 drinks a litre of petrol every 6 km… hahahaha..the sales will slow down.,or when the auto transmission starts behaving weird.Just watch 3 months later….
.
incredible.. you have a crystal ball. any tips for 4D yb albert? btw, your comments on how people buy cars are at best, uneducated (and non-factual). traditional proton car buyers are anything but impulsive. protons top selling cars are their cheapest cars, which very likely points to a very price and budget sensitive market segment. The customers with a higher budget has always stayed away from proton for whatever reason.. choosing japanese brands etc. To say the X70 is a game changer for proton might be a little premature.. but there is already a glimmer of hope for proton as the number prove it, that people who would never buy a proton otherwise, are suddenly choosing to buy the X70 at the rm100k mark and above. This in itself proves that people buying the x70 are not protons traditional buyers. its a totally new market segment that they have captured.
Don’t watch the livestream john, you’ll regret it!
The first major car launch taking place in Malaysia this year will be the new Perodua Aruz, and we’re bringing you, john, an exclusive livestream of the event, so john can cry while watching the seven-seat SUV celebrate its debut from wherever you have internet access.
Perodua’s new SUV model represents the national carmaker’s return to the segment, with previous models being the Nautica and the memorable Kembara. Much like those models, it is based on the Daihatsu Terios, which also doubled as the basis for the first- and second-generation Toyota Rush. Marking the death of X70.
Nautical only sold 200 over units and death in 4 years.
Keyboard warriors turned to barbarians. Paultan name also used by fake dupes
PT better permaban this joker with the many fake names b4 his own name is sullied by this purveyor of fake news.
Look in the mirror first john. You yourself post fake news just for dedak
Anyway, this car will outsell the X70. Ingat ni john
Confirm 10k booking already so far!
Dear Perodua President,
When you done clear all the 4AT transmission stock, please bring in Aruz with 5MT
Thank you
3 pedal driver
Manual transmission? 2019 already. Not 1990s..
should be like this:
4AT? 2019 already. Not 1990s..
U mean Malaysian traffic only limited to Klang valley ????
even toy mark X is started to offer MT…
what a X of P2 is doing?
Better topup a bit for the ultimate Japanese car fanboy badge, Honda. the BRV 120PS ,
Salah! Better topup a bit for the ultimate Chinese car rebadge, Proton. the X70 184 PS,
Moreover, Better topup a bit for Toyota Rush or stay with this Aruz. Habisla BR-V!
Get X70 better and choose SUV must look at Nm not the logo, not the PS.
RM:Nm
Which SUV offer better?
2018 BRV model now come with RM5,999 discount. So the price before is RM81k now only RM75k!! Cheaper than P2 and get H badge also. This only bring one thing for sure. CKDed really bring down the price.
what? paying for RM75K for a car with only 2 airbags? Sorry but i don’t see the BRV having additional features than the Aruz to win people over.
ps, horsepower, torque doesnt mean anything to Perodua, the real king of highway, city, kampung,etc. 120ps is absolute nothing.
This car will be another Perodua failure since Nautica. Smarter people will sure go to buy Toyota Rush over Perodua Aruz as it lacks safety feautures such as Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Panoramic View Monitor. What worse is that Perodua Aruz is a copy and paste version of Toyota Rush. Even the aunties and uncles in the pasar and kopitiam also know that!
Perodua might release their SUV in 2021 but they found out Proton X70 got so many bookings and they had no idea so they quickly copy and paste Toyota Rush. They thought their SUV can take some sales from X70 but it did not happen. Perodua Aruz will look stale and boring since it looks exactly the same as Toyota Rush which has been launched few months ago.
So that’s why John Minum Teh 8X and Pilihanraya Kalah Teruk are now hiding in caves.
But the X70 is also a copy and paste from Geely …so no comments on that ?
Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Panoramic View Monitor …all these are nice to have but not necessary
a four-speed automatic transmission i am Not NOT buying this car. Shame. Now yr 2019 still using 4 speed
Yaaawwwnnzzz…. I only see P2 salesmen hyping this junk. Nobody else seems interested. It is a cheap car after all, so nothing to talk about. People buy P2 because its cheap, not because its good.
Adakah lepas ni pengeluaran alza akan dihentikan dan ada diskaun bnyk.. (mmg la lain compact mpv, suv) tapi malaysia punya mindset kan harga 1st.. pstu boleh bwk 7 org.. ok dah tu..
Yawwn. Not interested with this rebadge. Next please…..
The resident troll is wetting himself with self comments and self replies. How pathetic can the troll gets?
I owned toyota Rush till now.
The bad about this car is 4 speed Auto where 3500rpm is at 100km/hr. the loud engine sound can be heard when you travel above 110km/hr.
As for Honda BRV, you will be speeding 130km/hr at ard 3000rpm with lesser sound from the engine.
The Toyota is smart, they know the Toyota Rush will be a failure and use Perodua to market their product and maintain the same profit margin at the expense of Gorn Tax.
3500 rpm at 100 km/h, that’s much more worse than Wira 1.5 GLi with archaic 3-speed auto that done 3300rpm at 100 km/h (i drove that Wira once at highway).
Did you own rush 2018 model.my saga blm 100kmh 3000rpm
Perodua officially stated that Perodua Nautica only over 200 registered.
Here come nightmare for Proton sellers..
As third world as it is, It will sell well in Bolehland just like the MYVI.
bashing a rebadge all the way…. x70 is a freaking rebadge as well.. haha
Another hotcake from Perodua..
Ya, 200 units hotcake!
2,200 units booked, Habisla Axxx!
don’t bother comparing spec and safety with proton la..
as long it is still a rebadged from toyota, malaysian will definitely buy..lol
Malaysian already UBAH not like last time.
support x70, p2 fuk off. bye!
Nothing to bashed btw P1 and P2. Both company being Malaysian hot topic recently due to SUV. Both are clone not original. Which is re-badge. Nothing to proud for us, unless both company build from scratch up with 100% parts is being local made. Then we can compare. Tired of this topic. Paul Tan, in future pls disabled comment section for peace of mind.
This is pure Japanese first class technology and same car design sold all around the world I. First class nations also unlike geely proton x70 aa Chinese made rebadged for third and fourth class nations . How can people even think it’s a proton.
Proton + china made = disaster. You can see already when they review X70, voice recognition doesn’t work well.
Better buy toyota / honda. More reliable. Resale value also good.
Bettet safe than sorry.
