Finally, the 2022 Perodua Alza has been officially launched in Malaysia. The drapes were pulled back by prime minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob this morning at the KL Convention Centre. The launch was also attended by Daihatsu president Soichiro Okudaira. Three variants of the seven-seater MPV are offered – X, H and AV – and all are powered by the, on-the-road without insurance, with sales tax.
On to the design differences between the Alza and the Veloz, which by the way, is the more premium version of the Avanza. As you’d expect, the Alza’s front grille and bumper is completely unique, giving it a distinct face. The rear bumpers and wheels are also different, and so are the headlamps and rear lights . The Alza’s lights are more similar in style to the Avanza/Xenia, but only the Veloz will be sold in Malaysia so there’s a fair bit of differentiation.
The old Alza was barely there as a three-row MPV and had only 83 litres of boot space with all seats erect. Now, it’s 137 litres . With the third row bench folded , cargo space is now 498 litres, a 150L improvement. Those using this as a two-row car for most of the time will have a huge boot for trips to IKEA. The full-sized spare tyre is located under the car.
At higher speeds, the D-CVT shifts into its split mode, engaging the gear drive to provide more efficient power transmission , while the rotation to the belt drive is decreased significantly. In the Ativa, D-CVT gets a manual mode with seven virtual ratios, but that has been omitted here. More on New to the Alza but expected for a three-row MPV today is rear air-conditioning. The blower speed knob has three levels and is located in the middle, which makes it an easy reach for both rear passengers. The middle row centre arm rest is new to the model and is standard across the range.Also standard for all three variants is Perodua’s Advanced Safety Assist . First introduced with the G3 Myvi in 2017, ASA is now in version 3.0.
The H and AV come with Adaptive Driving Beam. This Matrix LED-style, Lexus-level headlamp is a smart auto high beam that “cuts out” oncoming vehicles from the glare when high beam is on, instead of dipping the high beam completely, as AHB does. This means that you’ll get full shine even when there’s oncoming traffic, but no one gets blinded by it. ADB does this by disabling individual LEDs within the headlamps for precise control over light distribution.
The H is a big jump in both visuals and content. For lighting, you get ADB and LED fog lamps, and the B-pillars are blacked out for a more streamlined look. At the back, the demister comes back in and there’s a slim chrome pinstripe bridging the tail lamps. The wheels are two-tone blade-style 16-inch alloys with 195/60 Toyo Proxes CR1 rubber, a pretty sporty choice for an MPV.
Finally, the AV, which is dressed up further with a chrome bar and gloss black pins on the grille, plus a chrome window line that joins with the rear, and side skirts. You can also spot the range-topper easily from its rear disc brakes. Perodua certainly didn’t hold back in outfitting the Alza with its latest and best kit, and I don’t think I’m the only Ativa owner around feeling slightly envious, equipment-wise. What do you think of the Alza’s specs?
Perodua has over 30,000 bookings on hand since order books opened on June 23 , but president and CEO Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad has assured that all who booked before July 1 will get their cars before the SST exemption deadline of March 31, 2023. Production started in June and deliveries start today.
No need to worry about the luggage space at the back. Because for the long distance travel, roof top box would work charmingly.
