Perodua Alza X vs H
Verdict
The Perodua Alza X is the sharper buy on the numbers: for RM5,500 less than the Perodua Alza H, it keeps the same 1.5 litre petrol engine, 105 hp, 138 Nm, CVT, front-wheel drive, 5.3 L/100 km fuel economy, six airbags, AEB and five-star ASEAN NCAP rating. Both are seven-seat B-segment MPVs with a 2,750 mm wheelbase and 137 litres of boot space. The H is only 10 mm taller on these figures, so on paper you are paying for trim, not mechanicals — check the equipment list.
Pick the Perodua Alza X if you want the same drivetrain, safety rating and seven-seat practicality for less money.
Pick the Perodua Alza H if its added trim equipment matters to you more than the RM5,500 saving.
