Perodua Alza: Mk1 Facelift 2 vs D27A
Verdict
The Perodua Alza D27A is the clear family upgrade if the budget allows: RM62,500 versus RM49,944 buys a CVT automatic, 6 airbags instead of 2, a 5-star ASEAN NCAP result and AEB. It is also bigger, at 4,425 mm long and 1,730 mm wide, with boot space up from 83 litres to 137 litres. The Mk1 Facelift 2 still seats seven, has the same 2,750 mm wheelbase and costs RM12,556 less. But on safety and daily ease, the newer car moves the game on.
Pick the Perodua Alza Mk1 Facelift 2 if you want the lower RM49,944 price, seven seats and a manual gearbox, and can accept the older safety package.
Pick the Perodua Alza D27A if you want the newer seven-seat Alza with CVT automatic, 6 airbags, AEB and a 5-star ASEAN NCAP rating.
