2022 Perodua Alza now open for booking – 1.5L D-CVT, 22 km/l, EPB with brake hold, 360 cam, RM62k-RM75k

2022 Perodua Alza now open for booking – 1.5L D-CVT, 22 km/l, EPB with brake hold, 360 cam, RM62k-RM75k

The 2022 Perodua Alza is now open for booking, and along with the announcement, Perodua has released initial details of the all-new MPV, which retains the household name, but with a new ‘vintage style’ font. This new model, a sister of the latest Toyota Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia, boasts “significant improvements in terms of driving comfort and versatility” over its long-serving JDM-based predecessor. It’s much larger, too.

The D27A Alza is powered by a 1.5 litre Dual VVT-i engine, and the NA four-pot is paired to the latest D-CVT automatic gearbox. This powertrain combo is likely to be the same one found in the latest Myvi facelift. It’s EEV-rated and capable of claimed 22.0 km/l fuel economy in the MDC. That’s likely to stand for Malaysian Driving Cycle, a locally-developed protocol based on local conditions. Eco Idle auto start-stop is standard.

Highlighted points in the flyer include an electronic parking brake (EPB) with auto brake hold, the above-mentioned 22 km/l FC, a chrome/gloss black front grille, a spacious seven-seater cabin, and a 360-degree panoramic view monitor. The latter and EPB are Perodua firsts.

Three variants of the new Alza will be offered – X, H and AV. The base variant comes with LED headlamps with follow-me home function, electric adjustable side mirrors with LED signals (manual fold), fabric seats, front (digital) and rear (manual) air con controls and Perodua’s latest Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) suite, which includes autonomous emergency braking (AEB). Accompanying ASA is Lane Departure Warning and Prevention, and Auto High Beam. Six airbags are standard.

Move up to the H and you’ll get drive modes (Eco, Normal, Power), auto headlamps, Adaptive Driving Beam LED headlamps with sequential turn signals, auto retractable wing mirrors, rear armrests, a 7.0 inch TFT multi-info display, a 9.0 inch touchscreen head unit with reverse camera, and front parking sensors.

The range topping AV exclusively gets kit such as semi-leather two-tone seats, EPB with auto brake hold and the 360-degree parking camera. The AV’s active safety kit list adds on Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Control, Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert. There’s a mention of rear disc brakes in the press release – this could either be for the AV only (as part of the EPB) or standard across the board, we’ll see.

Last but not least, as this is an MPV, seats. The third row is foldable 50:50, while the second row is 60:40 split folding, with a one-touch and slidable mechanism. Boot capacity is just 137 litres with all seats erect, but this can be expanded to 498 litres with the third row seats folded.

Buyers can choose from five colours, three of which are new to the Alza. The fresh coats are Vintage Brown, Garnet Red and Elegant Black; in addition to Glittering Silver and Ivory White. Brown and red are exclusive to the H and AV variants. The standard five-year or 150,000 km warranty applies.

“We took our time in designing this full model change as we truly wanted to understand what improvements our customers wanted, and the new Alza aims to fulfil these requests. One of the many requests was a better driving experience, and to this we have engineered the New Perodua Alza’s ground clearance to be at 160 mm which, in our assessment, is the best height for a pleasant Malaysian drive, for an MPV,” said Perodua president and CEO Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad.

“This full model change represents our best effort so far in terms of product offering as the features included are the best within its price category,” he added.

As for pricing, the tentative RRP for the new Alza is RM62,000 for the X, RM68,000 for the H and RM75,000 for the AV. These prices are on-the-road, without insurance for Peninsular Malaysia. The actual prices will be revealed during the official launch, which is set to happen next month. As expected, the prices are higher than the old Alza, which was priced from RM52,661 to RM60,525, if you discount the sub-RM50k manual version.

Bookings made before July 1 will be entitled to SST exemption as long as the vehicle is registered by March 31, 2023, as recently announced by the government.

      Copy paste: “Dompet friendly – but not for B40.

      Petrol friendly – as a Perodua owner myself, this is doubtful.

      Power friendly – heard that 1.5L for Aruz is a mismatch of body weight & engine power.

      Space friendly – depends, usually a 7 seater for sure can fit 7 people, without luggage. With luggage, it’ll probably become 5 seater.. or less.

      Comfort pun friendly – can’t judge yet.

      Hi-Tech, Solid – err, really? Last time I bought Alza Advanced and thought it was hi tech. But once I got it, I can tell how insignificant the tech was compared to it’s standard or SE variant. Furthermore, I did not enjoy the tech very much. Those times, having a reverse camera is considered hi-tech, but mine was broken in just about 2 years. SC said had to replace the whole unit from media player to the reverse cam – no such thing as replacing the cam only – which kind of strange since the media player is working fine.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying Perodua is bad but sometimes they (Perodua or fanboys) exaggerate. I owned 2 Peroduas at the moment and probably will be buying another Perodua in the future; either this new model or Aruz. Not because I like Perodua or anything, it’s simply because it aligns with my needs and financial capacity and honestly there are not that many cars to choose from.”

    It’s EEV-rated and capable of claimed 22.0 km/l fuel economy in the MDC. Eco Idle auto start-stop is standard. In Indonesia Daihatsu Xenia with 100% on highway with constant 80-100km/hr only manage to get 18km/l. The Eco Idle is merely to get the EEV certification and that’s it. With similar engine and transmission with myvi and getting almost same figure is very doubtful.

      First – EEV
      https://paultan.org/2017/03/27/all-new-models-sold-in-malaysia-to-be-eevs-by-2025-mai/

      1001kg-1200kg
      EEV only need to achieve 6L/100km or 16.7km/L.

      but this is Alza, the throttling/D-CVT can be tuned different despite of the same engine.
      As example, the GR Corolla vs GR Corolla Morizio has different Gear Ratio.

      2nd: EEV by MDC
      the 22km/L is tested based on MDC, Malaysian Driving Cycle.
      https://paultan.org/2018/11/13/malaysia-driving-cycle-standard-planned-as-part-of-countrys-initiatives-on-fuel-economy-development/

      if all Malaysian car tested with MDC, then we can compare fairly.

    Nice Alza Cross, D-CVT + 360 Auto daptive headlamp, 360 camera, ACC with EPB.

    Especially the re-clinable 2nd row, with large arm rest.
    5 seater usage @ it best.

    There is no brand new 7 seater with ACC in Malaysia below RM275k!
    Xtrail, Outlander, GLB, Innova, Serena, carnival, Starex, Rush, Aruz, BR-V.. tak ada.
    Some even don’t have AEB to begin..

    This is like RM200,000 burden lifted. Literally Relax driving with lifestyle.

      A real bummer on the lowered ground clearance. Hope they only use lowered springs on the original daihatsu zenia designs.
      Then we can just replace the springs and get an actual practical mpv.

      Somehow I feel perodua is simply taking a shortcut in making the car have better handling instead of coming up with a better spring rate and damper settings.

    Can help those of us who are not rempits or drifters to check if it’s possible to replace the alza springs and shocks with toyota veloz’s or daihatsu zenia’s so we can gain back the 40mm ground clearance which is way more practical to match the practically of the car.
