After grafting the Perodua Ativa’s face onto a Daihatsu Xenia last week, rendering wiz Theophilus Chin is back with another interpretation of what a next-generation D27A Alza could look like. This time, he’s taking the front of the new Myvi facelift that launched just yesterday, and applying it on the Xenia again.
Visual changes on the latest Myvi include a larger and deeper front grille, which sports a chrome slat that is briefly interrupted by the Perodua logo. This is accompanied by sharp contours around the downturned lower intake for a strong X look, with vertical LED daytime running light strips (a first for the third-gen model) at the corners of the bumper.
On the higher-spec H and AV variants, the bumper’s black lip has a silver-painted centre section, while other revisions are reshaped headlamps as well as vertical vents on the rear bumper to mimic the look on the other end.
In the case of Theo’s render, the Xenia only gets the new Myvi’s front grille and bumper, which required quite a bit of Photoshop work to ensure they match with the MPV’s taller face. The end result certainly appears to be more striking than his previous Ativa-Xenia work, as the vertical DRLs give more of a “pop” compared to the black and angular fog lamp surrounds, while the silver “skid plate” lends an SUV-like look.
Of course, design is a highly subjective matter, so between the two Alza renders created by Theo, which one do you find more attractive? Or do you prefer the vanilla look of the Xenia, maybe even the Avanza/Veloz duo?
Production of the current Alza will reportedly end in January next year, with the model set to be officially phased out from February 2022. This means we will likely not see a replacement until after then, despite what was heavily rumoured previously.
The next Alza is expected to be based on the latest Avanza/Veloz/Xenia, which are all built on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA). If true, Perodua’s future MPV will be the second model to be based on the platform after the Ativa, although we don’t expect a turbo engine since the new MPV trio is only offered with naturally-aspirated NR engines in Indonesia.

Alza used to be pretty, sporty, low riding mpv. If this does end up as the new alza, there’s no reason to buy it over the aruz. It’s practically the same thing.
Now its so sporty n garang. Owsemm mantap p2!
Alza is practically nonsense if it going to be the same high rider 7 seater as Aruz.
Looking sleek, habis la Exora! This is a true Game Changer
You been saying that ever since Exora & Alza first came out but until today Exora is still King of MPV. Exora! This is a true Game Changer
Wait until they actually launch the new model, then read the reviews over here in PT or go for a test drive & evaluate yourself.

Aruz is Rear-wheel drive, the new Avanza/Alza is Front-wheel drive
DNGA cruiser SUV,
Time for a relaxed sleeper bed lounge interior.
looks ok for the front design with new myvi facelift looks. just rear need to be more sporty design. hopefully something similar to Toyota veloz or no need to change anything.
Actually Xenia ok also, Caldina Sportiness.
This Car can mod.
I’m still wishing for a sliding door. Can those that wish for a sliding door gives this a thumbs up? And those that prefers normal doors just give this a comment a thumbs down?
Would be interesting to see but I’m sure P2 already did their homework.
Affordable car with Sliding door it would be a lousy sliding door like a Van.
Sliding door in passenger car standard now it have to be electronic like the standard set by Toyota Sienta, newer Nissan Serena and Alphards.
Hyundai Starex electronic doors, however always broken, it uses local supplier parts.
Hyundai Staria doors also no storage compartments.
2 next Big thing.
Perodua Veloz
Proton X80
No need sliding Door, unless got lifetime warranty.
Nobody want a broken sliding door during usage.
From the beginning P2 should have nego with stepmom for approval to rebadge CH-R as new Ativa. Agreed?
Don’t worry, Proton will rebadge Lynk Co next, not Geely.
Sliding door ni kos repair kalu eksiden..kalu rosak.. maintainan dia pun mahal.. rakyat malaysia ni kalu buyer rangr harga bi kebanyakkannya prefer yg mudah diselenggara.. tak payah tengok jauh la.. enjin NA dgn enjin turbo pun ramai yg prefer NA…mybe after taraf hidup penduduk kita dah meningkat.. mungkin gaji minima 2k purata penduduk.. baru enjin turbo jadi pilihan
this model almost identical to aruz in many ways. it could be using the same engine, transmission and with almost similar specifications. the pricing could be very close too, unless specced down. what is the purpose of having 2 suv in the same segment?
Alza is essentially a sportswagon version of the myvi, for added practicality it has extra seats
niche market but has proven to be very2 popular tho
if perodua can design bezza and 3rd gen myvi from the ground up
Maybe the next Alza is totally an in house design
Exciting to see
Looking forward to the behave of alza during driving. The comfort should be better compare to aruz since the chassis is not ladder frame
Whatever new models, Perodua is having problems in shortage of chips. Big headache.
