Verdict
At RM62,500, the Alza costs RM13,600 less than the RM76,100 Traz, yet both use a 1,496 cc 105 hp/138 Nm petrol engine, CVT and front-wheel drive. The Alza is the family-first choice: it carries seven and has a 2,750 mm wheelbase. The Traz is for buyers who need its 471-litre boot rather than a third row, plus 17-inch wheels, blind-spot monitoring, a reverse camera and a 9.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Pick the Perodua Alza if seven seats, a RM13,600 lower entry price and the longer 2,750 mm wheelbase matter more than SUV equipment.
Pick the Perodua Traz if five seats and a 471-litre boot suit your household, and you want blind-spot monitoring, a reverse camera and smartphone connectivity.
