Perodua Aruz gains Elegant Black exterior colour – available for all variants, pricing starts from RM73k

Having been teased for release last week, the Perodua Aruz now officially gets its new exterior colour, Elegant Black that replaces Passion Red, and it joins the selection of exterior colours including Ivory White, Glittering Silver, Granite Grey, Electric Blue and Garnet Red for the Malaysian carmaker’s seven-seater SUV.

At present, and with the latest addition of the Elegant Black exterior colour choice, the Perodua Aruz continues to be priced at RM72,900 for the 1.5 X variant, and RM77,900 for the 1.5 AV variant, and this new exterior colour is available across all variants.

Under its skin, the Perodua Aruz continues to be powered by the 2NR-VE 1.5 litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that is rated to produce 101 hp at 6,000 rpm and 133 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. This drives the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.

Equipment for the Aruz continues unchanged, with 17-inch wheels shod in 215/60R17 tyres, LED headlamps with LED combination tail lamps; the AV variant gains automatic functionality for the headlamps as well as roof rails. Also on are a keyless entry and engine start, a built-in toll reader, manual air-conditioning with digital controls and rear vents, a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system, six speaker-audio, and two USB ports.

For safety kit there are six airbags, ABS, EBD, brake assist, VSC, traction control, hill start assist, a reverse camera as well as solar and security window film; the AV variant adds ASA 2.0 (consisting of Pre-collision Warning, Pre-collision Braking, Front Departure Alert and Pedal Misoperation Control) and an integrated driving video recorder (dashcam).

The Perodua Aruz is covered by a five-year, 150,000 km warranty, and bookings for the seven-seater SUV are being taken at authorised Perodua showrooms only. Customers looking to purchase on trade-in may do so through Perodua POV (Perodua Pre-Owned Vehicles).

    As you can see…. As long as Perodua is control and run by the executives and the board of directors of UMW, this brand will continue to stay as a boring car brand. Despite having sooo much of cash….im talking about billions……Those people making decisions for this company doesn’t understand what a modern, safe, reliable and competitive car should be. And I guess these people are business people…. Not car enthusiasts like us boys and girls.

    • I don’t think Perodua are bothered about enthusiasts. They know their target market, and I don’t think they mind being a boring brand.
      I don’t blame them, I mean, look at Proton. They tried to do funky stuff (and failed pulling it off). Now, back to reselling foreign models.
      Malaysian car manufacturers just don’t have the capability & resources to, say, be a Mazda.

    when will be the DNGA Aruz coming?

    How about launching a Facelift Aruz 1.5Electric Hybrid next?
    it’s already 5 years.
    with upgraded seats? making comfortable slim seats for space and reclination?
    with upgraded boots for boot space?
    with wheelbase extension or widening?

    Why Perodua should remove Passion Red?

    Beats by own brand Alza. If u owned a AV variant perodua model, u’ll find perodua giving u some extra unusable.
    – super annoying eco idle
    – the ping pong style lka acc are somehow very useless
    – the battery getting weak just 1 year +, rm500 to change at perodua sc.

    Last step to finish the stock before being phased out from production line and replaced by D66B model.

    This brings back memories of Perodua holding launch events nationwide for basically a Kelisa with special color. Remember the Imago, anyone?

      the only issue is it’s an suv but not even capable to off road , if no one would want 7 seater tall SUV then all those Land Cruiser, Fortuner and many others would be dead long ago lol

    They dont need new colour.
    All it needs is to cut the price by RM5k to make it relevant.

    why not give ladder frame and 4×4 variant ? make it unique since Alza is already better selling 7 seater P2
