The 2022 Perodua Alza is now open for booking, and along with the announcement, Perodua has released initial details of the all-new MPV, which retains the household name, but with a new ‘vintage style’ font.
The D27A Alza is powered by a 1.5 litre Dual VVT-i engine, and the NA four-pot is paired to the latest D-CVT automatic gearbox. This powertrain combo is likely to be the same one found in the latest Myvi facelift. It’s EEV-rated and capable of claimed 22.0 km/l fuel economy in the MDC. That’s likely to stand for Malaysian Driving Cycle, a locally-developed protocol based on local conditions. Eco Idle auto start-stop is standard.
Highlighted points in the flyer include an electronic parking brake (EPB) with auto brake hold, the above-mentioned 22 km/l FC, a chrome/gloss black front grille, a spacious seven-seater cabin, and a 360-degree panoramic view monitor. The latter and EPB are Perodua firsts.
Three variants of the new Alza will be offered – X, H and AV. The base variant comes with LED headlamps with follow-me home function, electric adjustable side mirrors with LED signals (manual fold), fabric seats, front (digital) and rear (manual) air con controls and Perodua’s latest Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) suite, which includes autonomous emergency braking (AEB). Accompanying ASA is Lane Departure Warning and Prevention. Auto High Beam is available, too.
Move up to the H and you’ll get drive modes (Eco, Normal, Power), Adaptive Driving Beam LED headlamps with sequential turn signals, auto retractable wing mirrors, rear armrests, a 7.0 inch TFT multi-info display, a 9.0 inch touchscreen head unit with reverse camera, and front parking sensors.
The range topping AV exclusively gets kit such as semi-leather two-tone seats, EPB with auto brake hold and the 360-degree parking camera. The AV’s active safety kit list adds on Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Control, Blind Spot Monitor and Rear Cross Traffic Alert.
Buyers can choose from five colours, three of which are new. The fresh coats are Vintage Brown, Garnet Red, Elegant Black, Glittering Silver and Ivory White. Brown and red are exclusive to the H and AV variants. The standard five-year or 150,000 km warranty applies.
As for pricing, the tentative RRP for the new Alza announced by Perodua is RM62,000 for the X, RM68,000 for the H and RM75,000 for the AV. These prices are on-the-road, without insurance for Peninsular Malaysia. The actual prices will be revealed during the official launch, which is set to happen next month.
Bookings made before July 1 will be entitled to SST exemption as long as the vehicle is registered by March 31, 2023, as recently announced by the government.
