Perodua Alza vs Perodua Traz
Verdict
The Alza is the practical buy: RM62,500 gets you seven seats, a longer 2,750 mm wheelbase and a listed 5.3 L/100 km, while the Traz asks RM76,100 for a five-seat SUV body with a far larger 471-litre boot. Mechanically they are almost twins, with a 1.5 litre petrol engine, 105 hp, 138 Nm, CVT and front-wheel drive. Both also get six airbags, AEB, five-year warranty cover and RM120 road tax, so the decision is space layout rather than performance.
Pick the Perodua Alza if you need seven seats, the longer 2,750 mm wheelbase and the lower RM62,500 price more than SUV styling.
Pick the Perodua Traz if five seats are enough and you want the bigger 471-litre boot in a B-segment SUV package.
