The 2022 Perodua Alza Is Now Available For Booking - RM62k-RM75k, 1.5L D-CVT, 22 km/l, EPB with brake hold, 360 cam

The 2022 Perodua Alza is now available for booking, and Perodua has released preliminary details of the all-new MPV, which retains the household name but with a new 'vintage style' font.

Apparently, this new model showcases major improvements in terms of driving comfort and versatility over its long-serving JDM-based predecessor. It’s much larger, too! 

As previously reported, the Perodua's tentative RRP for the new Alza is:

1.5L X CVT – RM62,000

1.5L H CVT – RM68,000

1.5L AV CVT – RM75,000

These are on-the-road prices for Peninsular Malaysia without insurance. The exact prices will be revealed at the official launch, which is scheduled for next month. The prices are higher than the old Alza, which was priced from RM52,661 to RM60,525, excluding the sub-RM50k manual version.

Buyers can select from five different colours, three of which are brand new. Vintage Brown, Garnet Red, Elegant Black, Glittering Silver, and Ivory White are the new coat colours. Brown and red are only available in the H and AV variants. The standard five-year/150,000-kilometer warranty applies.

Bookings made before July 1 will be eligible for SST exemption if the vehicle is registered by March 31, 2023, as the government recently announced.

Let’s get to the power!

The D27A Alza is powered by a 1.5-litre Dual VVT-i engine, which is mated to the latest D-CVT automatic transmission. This powertrain combination is likely to be the same as that found in the most recent Myvi facelift. It is EEV-rated and has a claimed MDC fuel economy of 22.0 km/l. This is probably an abbreviation for Malaysian Driving Cycle, a locally developed protocol based on local conditions. Auto start-stop Eco Idle is standard.
