The all-new Perodua Alza has won the Malaysia Good Design Award (MGDA), which is the highest recognition from the government for the design industry. Organised by the Malaysian Design Council (MRM), a strategic design agency under the ministry of investment, trade and industry (MITI), Perodua is the only automotive brand to receive the award this year.
The awards ceremony, which included the presentation of the MGDA 2022 and Certified Industrial Designer (CIDe) certifications, was officiated by MITI secretary-general Datuk Seri Isham Ishak. “This recognition reflects Perodua’s commitment to delivering innovative and well-designed products to our customers,” the carmaker wrote in a post on its official Facebook page.
Launched in July last year, the second-generation Alza is underpinned by the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) and is a larger vehicle than its predecessor. The seven-seater is powered by a 2NR-VE 1.5 litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that makes 106 PS (105 hp) and 138 Nm of torque, with drive going to the front wheels through a D-CVT.
Prices start from RM62,500 on-the-road without insurance for the base X variant before going up to RM68,000 for the mid-spec H, followed by the range-topping AV at RM75,500. You can check out our thoughts of the award-winning MPV in our written and video reviews.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Kalau setakat modify bodykit pun boleh dapat anugerah, memang kelakar lah.
Anugerah tu terang² cakap design.. anugerah utk dalaman kereta menang dkat brand lain.. len kali jgn kmpung sgt kita ni
everyone knows local award is usually rigged
Production cannot catch up Order
Still minimum 12 months waiting
Good oil filter award too?
Only did some minor cosmetic changes, can win a DESIGN award? LOL’ed
Unlucky for Veloz, Perodua boleh.
Do you wanna build a snowman?
But its Toyota Veloz!
we all know.. tapi the judges are all from kota bahru they don’t know.
2022 Toyota Veloz wins Malaysia Better Design Award?
Good copycat / rebadge award
rebadge with some cosmetic changes, also win awards.
I wonder how worthless these awards can get.
better get the Veloz. Has telescopic steering wheel. That alone is worth 10K extra.
tukar design sikit sikit je tuh. pun dapat award bangang.
tukar grille depant je pon
Yakin ke tukar grill depan je. orang cakap biar bodo je.. jangan bodosombong.
The only car to receive this award is a rebadged Toyota sold by P2?
This ugly looking car is considered good looking in malaysia? Wonder how much p2 bribed this MRM guys to be crowned as such wkwkw
shhh… we dont use that term here.
Please say DERMA instead
there is 0 rasuah in malaysia.
Sini cuma banyak kes derma-menderma.
Contohi parti UMNO, banyak derma
You would be surprised how low the standards are for us in Malaysia
Better kiv purchase any P2 or Toyota.Nanti got some more whistleblower defects ..They won’t heed Akio Toyoda ‘s advice to recall.Dont play with .Change an oil filter also takes donkey moons.
can win Malaysia good award design but if there is a honesty and ethical award, definitely fail already.
Eco idle “best” invention, kalau nak dapat EV status cheaper tax pun biar lah boleh setting default off. Auto off kalau lama tunggu orang gear N ok lah, ini tengah tunggu keluar roundabout pun off, masuk reverse gear belum gerak pun off. Lagi batteri mahal 1+ tahun kena ganti.
Come on lah, Daihatshu design Malaysian best design awards? Malaysia Boleh!
This Perodua needs to be given a reality check. They should be reminded how they got the first position in the first place. Perhaps the consumers would happy they are kept in the second position. Their attitude with the oil filter is offending.
Takes the cake, this. A design award given to a car which was designed in Japan. Can I give the Best Pointless Awards Event Award to this lot?
This is that 0bama meme of him giving himself an award
Wow look at all this hatersssssss
P2 is on fireee
It’s so obvious all P2 bashers lol…
Didn’t they announced earlier that this Xenia, Veloz and Alza is actually designed by P2 team and used for Xenia and Veloz.
It’s by far the best accepted car in Malaysia so far.
Lol you better go fact check than spreading lies like perodua design this and that. The designer of this daihatsu’s car and all these twins got only japanese names and indonesian names and you still believe its perodua r&d who designed it, the minuscule thing perodua’s R&D doing is designing the front grille and some cosmeticas thats why no mention of any malaysian names involved. Truth hurts
this is like saying our malaysian ANGKASAWAN is an astronaut. He’s just a space-tourist.
Macam mane la engineer perodua bole happy bersorak atas stage mcm tuh?? takde rase malu ke woi? stakat tukar bumper pastu claim buat kete sendiri… huhu memalukan org malaysia jer… harapnye artikel nih tak sampai ke jepon lah… malu kt org jepon design penat2 org lain dpt award…
This car is so out of proportion and yet win a design award. Malaysians really no taste. No wonder we also see so many Jinjang looking Alphards and Vellfires on the road. Ppl love it, the more Jinjang chromes the more ‘mewah”. Add blue drl and voila, lagi ‘lawa’.
fact check. average malaysians did not get to vote on the award winner. It’s just probably some marketing nonsense as always. But like many others oredy pointed out, this is a JOKE. Perodua only designed useless cosmetic stuff and became winner. Like stealing credit.
whattt?? what happened to your eyes malaysia design council? pity to the veloz buyer, pay 20k more but lose to rebadge alza.
What’s with all the negativity? P2= Daihatsu= Toyota, so basically, Toyota wins.. No issue rebadging or not, since p2 engineers also involved in designing the car. Geely Fanboy butthurt?
now we know how useless these awards really are. Just marketing tools. syok sendiri. Just modify an existing car and slap-on P2 badge, can win design aware. holy sheet this is like a student copying other people homework then claim its his own, just because he changed a few words and changed the name. MALU
No worry. Next time X90 wins. Share prize with Zhongguo Gongchandang.
Bingo. Uue vietnamian fully supports
rebadged car also can win. enough said.
Actually looks good la, if got dark grey or bezza blue lagi cantik. Tapi kalau i buat leather seat custom, i buat all black macam x90.
I love these syok sendiri awards make me feel high.Keep them cumming for ever and ever
Useless design even they copy from Toyota. There is a lot of better design than this junk yard…
Nampak sgt marketing je lbh..masyukkk la juri..mkn smp muntah hri2…
DERMA tu, bukan suap kehkehkeh
Perodua designer likes to use chrome deco makes the car looks cheap, the x variant all black looks more classy. Then overused the red tone in the material, gladly the seat not like myvi av. The “signing font” selection for the “ALZA” emblem looks no good at the back. If compared to avanza, xenia, veloz sibling, sorry no 4th award.
