Honda WR-V vs Perodua Traz
Verdict
At RM89,900, the Honda WR-V is RM13,800 dearer than the Perodua Traz at RM76,100, and that money mainly buys stronger output: 121 hp and 145 Nm versus 105 hp and 138 Nm. The Traz answers with family-use numbers, stretching 4,310 mm with a 2,620 mm wheelbase and 471-litre boot against the WR-V’s 4,060 mm, 2,485 mm and 380 litres. Both are petrol, front-drive CVT SUVs, so this is power versus space and price.
Pick the Honda WR-V if you want the stronger petrol SUV and can accept the smaller boot and higher price.
Pick the Perodua Traz if cabin stretch, boot space, six airbags and a lower price matter more than outright output.
