2022 Perodua Alza video teaser #4: electronic parking brake with auto brake hold shown; a first for the brand

Perodua is continuing its teaser campaign for the soon-to-be-launched 2022 Perodua Alza, with the latest short video focusing on one of the MPV’s convenience features, the electronic parking brake (EPB).

A first for the local carmaker, the EPB will only come standard in the range-topping 1.5AV, which is estimated to retail for RM75,000 on-the-road without insurance The other variants, namely the 1.5X (RM62,000 estimated) and 1.5H (RM68,000 estimated) will come with a regular handbrake instead.

In the clip, we can see that the EPB switch is located on the centre console near the gear lever for the car’s standard D-CVT automatic gearbox. There’s also a separate button to engage the automatic brake hold function, while also in the vicinity are buttons for central locking.

The opening shot of the video also gives us a glimpse of the Alza’s exterior, which looks very similar the latest Toyota Avanza and Daihatsu Xenia. As the showcase here is the EPB, the MPV shown is likely the top-spec 1.5AV, with notable cues seen being auto retractable wing mirrors with integrated turn signals as well as Adaptive Driving Beam LED headlamps with sequential turn signals.

Previous teasers centred around the Alza’s seven-seat configuration in a 2-3-2 layout as well as the 360-degree panoramic view monitor and Drive Mode buttons, both of which are located on the steering wheel for quick access. In one of those videos, we also see some systems that are part of the Perodua Smart Drive Assist (PSDA) suite, including Lane Departure Warning and Prevention and Adaptive Cruise Control.

A full breakdown of specifications by variant can be found here and we should expect more teasers to pop up in the days leading up to the launch of the all-new Alza. Have you already placed a booking?

    Did they hired Proton guy to do marketing? Their obsession with teasing is too high.

        You have to understand… it all started with “Wah, lucky I didn’t book the other car” while lifting the cover that started by Proton.

  • So the Veloz would have roof rails, integrated DRL, Android Auto & Apple Carplay, automatic air conditioning, full leather (better looking seats) and probably no hedious air conditioner control panel compared to Alza. The rest should be similar. Does that justify the extra 20K (probably less than 20K because Veloz price included SST)?

      Add built in wireless charging, 17 inch wheels & unlimited mileage warranty. Not to mention Toyota build quality, interior plastics & after sales support.

      Also a potential different suspension tuning… perodua said they lower the car, which i think is a mistake

    Not a fan of 7 seaters but heck, P2 does throw in good techs in their products at a bargain..

    • P1 gave that same bargain 2 years ago, once again P2 is too slow.

      • P2 probably never did any research on how much of the newer techs they can include in their car before P1 did it so they just maintain the same tech offerings. Since nowadays there are cheaper options for the same (previously) expensive techs and a lot of companies producing the same tech which provide a lot of competition; especially from China, P1 are able to offer those techs at what people perceive to be as a bargain price. In the beginning, P2 doesn’t seem to be bothered by it since P1 was still doing poorly in the market but after a while, many people start to see P1’s worth.

  • No matter what, when it is P2, people will buy. P2 is the king in Malaysia. Bezza tak cantik juga people buy.
