Verdict
At RM76,100, the Perodua Traz undercuts the RM107,980 Renault Captur by RM31,880 and makes a stronger case for a Malaysian family: its 471-litre boot is 94 litres larger, it has rear air-con vents, and six airbags rather than four. The Captur answers with a punchier 120 hp/205 Nm 1.2-litre turbo, against 105 hp/138 Nm from the Traz’s 1.5-litre naturally aspirated motor, plus a quoted 5.9 L/100 km. But the Traz also brings autonomous braking with pedestrian detection, lane-keeping steering correction and a reverse camera as standard.
The Captur TCe 120 EDC (RM107,980) sits above every Traz variant here, so the verdict compares the closest-priced pairing — use the selectors above to match any two trims.
Pick the Perodua Traz if you want to save RM31,880 while gaining a 471-litre boot, six airbags and active safety systems.
Pick the Renault Captur if you prioritise its 205 Nm turbo torque, 10.9-second 0-100 km/h time and quoted 5.9 L/100 km consumption.
