Perodua Alza production to come to an end after 12 years, with final build of 1,100 units in January 2022

Perodua Alza production to come to an end after 12 years, with final build of 1,100 units in January 2022

To say that the current Perodua Alza has been a long-serving model for the automaker would be understating it – having made its debut in November 2009, the B-segment MPV turns 12 this month, an eternity in the current scheme of things. In the time since, the seven-seater has undergone two facelifts, the first in January 2014 and the second in September 2018.

A replacement is well due, originally said to be coming at the end of 2021. Well, a next-gen Alza is certainly on the cards, but it looks like the new D27A won’t be appearing this year. First, time has to be called on the current Alza, which is still being built.

That comes in January next year, which is when final production takes place. In a note to dealers that was sighted by this publication, the company said that it will cease manufacture of the current Alza at the end of January, with the model set to be officially phased out from February 2022.

Planned production numbers for the final three months were also revealed – this month, 2,820 units of the Alza across all variants will be assembled, with 2,283 units being scheduled for December. The final build will consist of 1,100 units in January.

The company says that the reason for the phasing out of the car in February is due to the switch from Euro 2 to Euro 4 exhaust emission regulations as of January 1, 2022 (the implementation for existing vehicle models was originally targeted by the DOE for Oct 1, 2021).

However, the automaker said it managed to appeal for production of the Alza to continue until January. Despite the new regulations, sales and registrations of the car will be allowed until stocks are exhausted.

Given these timelines (and impending third-gen Myvi facelift debut), the reveal of the second-gen Alza looks like it will only happen next year. While nothing has yet been confirmed, the new car is likely to borrow heavily from the 2022 Toyota Avanza playbook. Our earlier D27A render post suggests what the new Alza could possibly look like.

      All the menteri and kakitangan senior should be given this Alza instead of Vellfire.
      Front..menteri and Driver
      2nd row…children
      last row…mistress?
      Anyway,even if it is Alza.it will be marked up to current servicing cost which is Rm2.80 cheaper than Perdana.
      Like someone said,the problem is not the type of car.It is the award of the contract,vaporising whatever taxes collected from the poor covid stricken rakyat.

        Alza only 2 airbags and no ESC, whatmore expecting AEB. How can ministers really push for better safety on cars if the cars they used have inferior safety features? The ministers must show they walk the talk and be an example so they must be seen to be using cars with excellent safety to encourage the rakyat and get cars with better safety features, mostly non-Peroduas for starters.
        Remember Safety First for mentris, Safety First for rakyat.

          Those early years,there were no airbags..our menteris all can perform very well.
          Now,you can give them Rolls Royce,the performance still sucks.
          What is relevant is performance.If got high performance,the rakyat dont mind to reward them with Rolls Royce.

            Giving metris safer cars is not about performance but all about keeping democracy alive.

            You see, the mentris are people’s representative and people’s representative must represent the people and any threat to them is a threat to democracy. Insufficient protection would constitute an attack on the people’s inalienable democratic right to be governed by leaders of their choice. And these leaders must be protected by every possible means no matter how much we might regret the necessity for doing so. In that case, keeping them safe is protecting the people’s inalienable democratic right as they should be, yes?

      Proton, under Geely also commits to saving the environment.
      Meanwhile Perodua under Toyota also commits to continue polluting the environment.

    Tq for the services.

    With many Grab experiences,
    One would easily find the Perodua Alza is more comfortable and better built than Honda BR-V.
    Both sitting @ similar height. major difference is only VSC for safety.

    Amazing how this built quality were from 2009.

The mutual trust built shall be continued with the next Alza Xenia and 1 million units sales for next 10 years while keeping out the dubious China cars at bay far away as possible! Syabas tahniah to Perodua Daihatsu Toyota in advance!!

    People are waiting for new generation ALZA but Perodua continue 12 years old ALZA. Add up almost 6000 unit, who going to buy this model anymore that totally outdated. Jual lelong je lah ALZA ni RM45 ribu. Perodua should launched new ALZA ASAP so can steal Mitsubishi Xpander long waiting list customer. First time Perodua make stupid decision. Is this sign the fall of Perodua??
