新车试驾: 2022 Perodua Alza 1 5 AV 初步心得, 售价7.5万

Three months later, the Alza welcomed an upmarket twin in the form of the Toyota Veloz. Like the Alza, it’s DNGA-based and comes out of the Perodua Manufacturing Sdn Bhd (PMSB) plant in Sungai Choh. Inside, the base Alza does its basic job as a people carrier well, with rear AC vents/controls and the rear centre arm rest fitted.

Proton’s evergreen C-segment SUV, the X70, rounds out the top 20 with 568 units registered last month. It’s quite a healthy margin, too – maybe, just maybe, age is catching up with the Bezza (5,106 units) a little. It’s a good job, then, that Perodua has just confirmed that one of its current nameplates will be getting a full model change, and given its sales volume and the fact it’s now nine years old, the Bezza is the most likely candidate.
Perodua’s own Aruz is a seven-seater that rides 220 mm above the ground. After trying to pursue a career in product design, Jonathan Lee decided to make the sideways jump into the world of car journalism instead. He therefore appreciates the aesthetic appeal of a car, but for him, the driving experience is still second to none. As you’re probably aware by now, only a fraction of Alphard sales come from official distributor UMW Toyota Motor.

• Danny Tan loves driving as much as he loves a certain herbal meat soup, and sweet engine music as much as drum beats.
• Perodua claims that an Alza needs less than RM40 of RON 95 petrol to travel from KL to Penang (358 km), based on the current RM2.05 per litre.
• Also, the steering wheel is fully furnished with buttons (zero blanks) and the AV’s touchscreen head unit is a new-to-Perodua item despite the spec sheet branding both this and the H’s HU simply as “9” Display Audio”.
• No touchscreen head unit too – it’s the Ativa X radio with the addition of a USB port on the panel.

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 Myvi facelift‘s 1.5L Dual VVT-i engine and D-CVT automatic gearbox. With the initial craze gone, the Jaecoo J7 has settled in a still-respectable 18th place with 765 units registered, prestige online casino beating the Honda Civic; the latter has seen a resurgence with the recent facelift with 642 units ending up in new homes.

Perodua Alza launched – 2nd-gen 7-seat MPV, Android Auto, RFID, ASA standard, from RM62,500

The visual difference is major, and even if you forget the Veloz, the Alza on its own is low and rather sporty. Easy access for children and the elderly is one benefit of the low step. A lower centre of gravity is of course good for dynamics – Perodua has also gone for a sportier/firmer suspension setup compared to the Indonesian-spec. The biggest difference that’s immediately apparent is ground clearance. Perodua wanted to make the Alza car-like and low (they already have the high-riding Aruz), and its ground clearance is 160 mm (150 mm for the base X), just like a Myvi. The Veloz’s GC is 205 mm, which is typical of Indonesian Low MPVs (Mitsubishi Xpander and Honda BR-V are in the ballpark).

• Three months later, the Alza welcomed an upmarket twin in the form of the Toyota Veloz.
• First introduced with the G3 Myvi in 2017, ASA is now in version 3.0.
• The second-generation Alza is 4,425 mm long and 1,730 mm wide, which means that its footprint is 205 mm longer and 35 mm wider than the original MPV, even if the 2,750 mm wheelbase is unchanged.

The Prime bodykit (RM2,500) adds on front and rear bumper extensions with chrome strips (plus LED DRLs, which have a welcome “Knight Rider” sequence upon start up) and a more protruding rear spoiler. Now, GearUp bodykits tend to be very loud, but not this one, which is surprisingly subtle and matches the Alza rather well. Also, the steering wheel is fully furnished with buttons (zero blanks) and the AV’s touchscreen head unit is a new-to-Perodua item despite the spec sheet branding both this and the H’s HU simply as “9” Display Audio”. In the lighting department, the base X comes with LED headlamps and Auto High Beam (AHB), along with Leaving Home and Follow Me Home functions. All the lights at the rear are LEDs, including turn signals and reverse lamps. The D-CVT is a very efficient gearbox and together with the modern NR engine, fuel consumption is rated at 22 km/l in what P2 calls the Malaysian Driving Cycle, which supposedly reflects local conditions.

Compared to the one in the H and Ativa, this system has a full row of buttons on the right bezel, a more stylish/modern look with tiles and (wired) Android Auto connectivity. Most head units with Android Auto usually also support Apple CarPlay, so this one may get AC as a future update. Lastly, the storage hole at the base of the centre stack is gone, but you’re compensated with two slim cubbies below the gear lever (left side has a charging port). Once again, Perodua is set a high standard for safety that rivals at this price point, and beyond, are just not matching. Rawang has no problems in cutting off the rear demister from the base model, and black stickers on the X’s pillars are extra cost, but safety is non-negotiable.

The mid section of the dashboard has a dark red section that flows into the door cards. This shade of red – which might appear brownish in certain light – matches the two-tone semi-leather seats, which by the way, have a nice diamond quilt centre. With the EPB, the centre console runs high between the seats, doing without the “valley” for the handbrake.
