We have covered this ‘Alza vs Veloz‘ topic pretty in-depth in Malaysia. Both essentially part of the same family, The single-spec Toyota Veloz is nearly RM20,000 more expensive than the range topping version of its sister car Perodua Alza, despite both being built at the Perodua plant in Sungai Choh, Rawang.
Paying RM95,000 for the Veloz versus RM75,500 for the Alza AV gets you the following:
- Different looks
- Access to Toyota service centre
- Integrated LED DRL
- Bigger 17 inch wheels
- 30mm taller ride height
- Wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay
- Automatic climate control
- Qi wireless charger
- Telescopic adjustment for steering wheel
- No km limit for 5-year warranty
So how many people are forking out almost RM20,000 to get the above? It turns out, more than 5,000 people this year to date versus 23,390 for the Alza. This is according to the JPJ registration data which you can find on MAMPU’s data.gov.my website.
To be clear, this isn’t actually indicative of which one sells more, but maybe it is more accurate to say this reflects the ratio of how many Alza and Veloz are produced by the factory.
This is because both cars are immensely popular with long waiting lists and whatever the factory can produce, it is pretty much registered immediately.
So what we are seeing here is JPJ registration and not sales order book.
One thing’s for sure, if you are particularly tall, the telescopic steering might be essential to find a comfortable driving position. About the rest, what do you think, is it worth it paying RM20k more?

Considered to buy either of these. But since the EPS torque is too low for OpenPilot/BukaPilot, I changed to Corolla Altis.
Buy Veloz jela. Jual balik nnti Get back extra 20k
18% Veloz – T20 Fuyoh!!!
(5.2K Veloz every 28.6K)
15.4%
Actuarial math, STRONG!
Toyota could launch TYT Raize 1.0T asap
-Toyota badge
-Access to Toyota service centre
If you need to mention this as a plus for buying Veloz, it is probably not worth buying Veloz.
Also, who in 2023 still buys cars based on car brand?
Followers of DAP buy car from Tofuland
you mean they buy Japanese cars? you do know japan is famous for tofu
It’s wrong…. there are not more difference between Alza and vioz. Wheel is 17″ for Alza, integrated led DRL is available in Alza, auto climate control and most of other futures too same as vioz.
Talking about sales Alza is taking too long time for delivery that’s why the sale numbers is lower than vioz. Booking for Alza car is 10 times higher than vioz.
why compare with vios?
Hehe, the chart is not drawn to scale for comparison,
Worst than primary school student
Both Elsa and Vilos good car
Why do you think T stopped the booking for Veloz?
It’s because it is canabilising into the sales of the Vios as the Veloz price is lowered significantly due to Alza.
Come on, think about it.
same segment 5 seater sedan priced higher than the 7 seater MPV?
Heard that those who bought Veloz in the early stage couldn’t stand the waiting list for Alza.
The fact that there are many M40 who afford to buy B-segment vios or city switch to buy Veloz. Some may said why don’t take Alza which is cheaper by RM20k. People who afford to buy RM100k car is less budget concern compare to people who upgraded from Myvi, Persona who are tends to budget constraint.
And also there are people concern about the badge, T is definitely more premium than P2. But P2 is not shortchange of reliability if compare to Prxton or other Japanese cars.
Those who bought Alza are usually the one who are likely/wilingly belanja friends for lunch once in a while. If you bring Veloz owner, they are likely to ask split the bill :D Alza owners have more spending power, Veloz owners a bit kedekut hahaha
I choose alza h spec rm68k.
– No need useless ACC, LKA
– nice all black interior
– No worry of EPB failed
– cheaper 16 inch tyre
– Spend rm2k to wrap all black leather seat, eco idle bypass cable wajib dipasang.
U choose Alza due to
– U r poor
toyota sales is lower because a lot of toyota owners don’t buy veloz. they prefer to go directly straight for vellfire and alphard. toyota owners high-class…
does the Veloz waiting list as long as Alza?
That time i ask they say 9 to 12 month
Both Alza and Veloz have a long waiting list.
Only Perodua does the assembly.
Which customers will be prioritized more?
This comparison is invalid.
I’m looking for new alza ,they seller produa say must wait nearly 1year ,so now I decide to go toyota veloz, I heard some one say toyota platform and chasis it’s better than produa, can anyone help
let me Know?
i buy alza X 60k convert veloz with much cheaper upgraded
my friend sold his old alza, after loan settled, and he get cash rm10k. he use that cash as downpayment for veloz. when i know this, my heart break. i mean, he can save that 10k and buy cheaper alza with low dp and monthly expenses. and he is between b40 and almost to m40. not m40. buy veloz just to impress people to show you are not poor is not intelligent move btw. its pathetic.
He could just continue driving the car and pay only for maintenance.
ya, but his alza is too old, and high mileage. always outstation. no warranty anymore. actually when he sold the alza and still got extra cash, thats a lucky for him.
that’s not really a problem because you still get to A to B with the same car. With proper maintenance, it wont like suddenly die on you. Unless you are saying now he got kids, safety is a larger concern then yeah, okay.
Like you are asking a no brainer
Veloz also assembled by perodua and its a daihatsu based vehicle..so a big no..prefer Toyota based platforms built by toyota
Actually both models are absolute “value for money” cars. They are both new generation cars with all the fittings, gadgets and trimmings. Don’t waste your money, the Alza is still an Alza no matter how much you spend to fit and change to look like Veloz. Be happy with your Alza it is a good car already. You actually will not get back the money you spent on the upgrades and modifications if you sell off next time whereas the Toyota carries that 20k value for a long time. I would have a Veloz and an Alza if I need 2 cars in my driveway.
