Used Perodua Aruz for sale in Malaysia

The Perodua Aruz is a B-segment SUV that has been on sale in Malaysia in the same D38L generation since its 2019 launch. It suits buyers who want a Perodua SUV with straightforward variant choices: the current line-up is the 1.5 X at RM72,900 and the 1.5 AV at RM77,900, both paired with a four-speed automatic gearbox.

The used market is well supported by volume, with 146,752 units registered since 2019. Annual registrations have stayed sizeable, including 21,324 units in 2023, 16,522 in 2024 and 17,827 in 2025, so shoppers should not be short of reference points. Current listed stock is very limited, with one 2024 car at RM61,800 and 17,997 km.

Value retention is respectable at 72.5% after three years. When shopping, compare the asking price closely against the current new-car prices, and check whether you are viewing an X or AV, as the variant will affect value.

The Perodua Aruz is a single-generation D38L seven-seat B-segment SUV launched in Malaysia in 2019, so used-car choice is mainly between the 1.5 X and 1.5 AV rather than between different generations.

• 1.5 X: the X is the entry variant with the same 1.5-litre engine and four-speed automatic gearbox as the AV, so it suits buyers who want the lowest-cost D38L Aruz and can accept less kit.
• 1.5 AV: the AV is the higher variant, and the current in-stock example is a 2024 AV with 17,997 km, so it is the trim to target if you want newer used stock and the fuller factory equipment list.
• D38L generation: all Malaysian Aruz units are D38L cars launched from 2019, with no earlier local generation to avoid; a 2019 or 2020 car makes sense when purchase budget matters more than age and mileage.
• Market depth: Perodua has registered 146,752 Aruz units since 2019, so used examples should not be treated as rare even when a specific stock list is thin.
• Bottom-line pick: buy the 1.5 AV if the service history is clean, because it gives you the better-equipped Aruz without changing the engine, gearbox or generation.

Check the Perodua Aruz as a D38L seven-seat B-segment SUV with a 1.5-litre petrol engine and four-speed automatic gearbox.

• Service history Verify Perodua service records for scheduled engine oil, coolant and automatic transmission maintenance, as the Aruz’s 1.5-litre engine and four-speed auto are durable when maintained on time.
• Gearbox behaviour Test the four-speed automatic in town and on hills, as some owners report coarse shifts or a busy feel under load; reject cars with harsh engagement, slipping or delayed reverse.
• Suspension and tyres Drive over bumps and check for knocking, uneven tyre wear and steering pull, as the tall seven-seat body places regular load on dampers, bushes and alignment settings.
• Cabin and NVH Listen for dashboard, door trim and third-row rattles on rough roads, as cabin noise and trim rattles are commonly reported owner complaints on the Aruz.
• Flood and accident damage Inspect the front chassis rails, rear floor, spare-wheel well, seat mounts and under-dash wiring for repair marks, silt, rust or water stains, as many Aruz units are used as family cars in daily Malaysian conditions.
• Variant authenticity Confirm whether the car is a 1.5 X or 1.5 AV by checking the registration details against the equipment fitted, as the AV is the higher variant and should carry its correct safety and trim features.

The Aruz follows Perodua’s typical six-month or 10,000 km service schedule, and routine maintenance sits at a low-to-moderate level because it uses a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre engine and a conventional four-speed automatic gearbox. Fuel use is higher than Perodua hatchbacks because the Aruz is a taller seven-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, but steady highway running is kinder than stop-start city use.

Comprehensive insurance premiums are generally moderate for a Perodua B-segment SUV, with the AV variant costing more to insure than the X when the insured value is higher. Parts availability is strong through Perodua service centres and independent workshops, helped by the Aruz’s local sales volume since its 2019 launch and its shared 1.5-litre powertrain family.
