A reader tipped us on the discontinuation of the Amazon Green colour option for the Perodua Aruz, and a call to a Perodua sales rep confirmed this. With green out of the picture, it leaves Aruz buyers with Ivory White, Granite Grey, Glittering Silver and Electric Blue as the four choices.
Usually, a car manufacturer will phase out a colour if it’s not popular. That makes sense, as with every business out there. However, we’ve noticed that Amazon Green has been a rather laku option among Aruz buyers (what do you think, correct us if we’re wrong), and it was also the “hero colour” or communications colour when the seven-seater was launched in early 2019.
If it’s not due to lack of takers, it might be the streamlining of paint colours by Perodua. Amazon Green is an Aruz-exclusive colour that’s not shared with any other P2 model, so discontinuing it might reduce costs. This is just speculation of course, but what happened recently to the other unique colours such as Mystical Purple (Myvi-only) and Peppermint Green (Myvi 1.3-only)? They were discontinued in July when the Myvi was refreshed for 2020.
As Perodua makes the Toyota Rush together with the Aruz in Rawang, this development might also mean the end of the Dark Green Metallic option for the Rush.

Awww sayang nyer… Amazon Green has been rather laku among my customers, hero color nih
Copy paste: “We trust the proven X50 with SAE award-winning 1.5 TGDI engine & 7speed wet dual clutch combo used in 1.6 million cars sold in 21 countries worldwide. We don’t care if the design is boring since the car is reliable. What we hate is boring Japanese cars with unreliable engine and problematic fuel pumps that will lead to accidents on the road.”
SAE- china saja…
Copy paste: “Talking like you don’t know what SAE stands for. The SAE organisation is based in USA with SAE-China being their affiliated branch there. All nominations are objectively submitted by industry peers (registered SAE members) and evaluations are done according to SAE international standards so there is no bias in their judgement. Its powertrain system was selected among 170 other industry-shaking innovations developed by top Chinese Universities, science academies, and global automotive R&D centres so the win is well deserved.”
X50 uses timing belt which requires more maintenance cost and visits to garage
Amazon Green looks decent and modern, but probably not the best selling here
Maybe painting production required to give space for painting D55L
*Sad Jeff Bezos sound*
Why not just stop selling this cold fish? Nobody seem to buy it and I hardly see on the road
are you blind or something?
I can say the same to you. How many aruz are on the road for real?
Best selling B segment now
Tapau vios, Yaris, brv, avanza, jazz, city, persona, iriz sales
Even sell more than X70 now..
Only less to Myvi
Best selling B segment but less than another B segment? So which statement is true? Best selling means best selling lah there is no other in the same segment that should be selling more. Nak tipu pun agak-agak lah.
I saw more x70 than this bulkier underpowered car on the road
I actually liked the Peppermint Green on the Myvi, its sad to see it discontinued
Unlike Perodua previous SUVs, the Aruz is a success! This is because the Aruz has a proven engine, modern and sleek design, 7 seaters, wide and comfort cabin. This is a true Game Changer, even the X70 can feel the heat.
Do remember Aruz is price at 70k, while X70 is 100-120k, yet we see more X70 than Aruz on the road.
are you blind or something?
Copy paste: “Game-Changer indeed. No other car would need you on taking delivery and having to go straight into service center for replacing the faulty fuel pump. Not even China car is this bad reliability.”
X70 never feel the heat because the Aruz sales not so good.
Or..its so laku that P2 had to stop it in order to clear stock of not so laku colour.
I agree with the author that Amazon Green is one of the top colour other than blue.
I agreed, even most of their Test Drive unit using Amazon Green. If it’s true that they discon this color option just to clear “not so laku” color, it will be a bad business strategy…
Underpowered engine is a major problem , otherwise a reasonably good vehicle
Plot twist, It is not underpowered at all, its enough.
Have not seen Aruz hogging the road, Rush is decent too
Targetted buyers are satisfied, only non-buyers critics as if he might buy an affordable Jeep Crossover.
perodua better stop selling cars overall, lousy cars by an unethical company
