All-new 2022 Perodua Alza: In Pictures

Perodua launched its new MPV, the 2022 Alza in the local market recently. The car’s launch was attended by Malaysian Prime Minister, Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob, and Daihatsu President, Soichiro Okudaira.

The automaker’s latest launch created a lot of buzz in the market prior to its arrival with over 30,000 bookings in place. How does Perodua plan to complete these orders? The company has planned a production volume of 3,000 cars per month, thus resulting in a 10-month-long waiting period for the Alza. But fret not, as Perodua will ramp up production to meet strong demands.

The new Alza was launched in three variant options, starting with the base X, mid-spec H, and range-topping AV that apparently is in most demand. They retail for RM 62,500, RM 68,000, and RM 75,500 respectively, on the road without insurance and with SST.

Compared to the old Alza, the new model is surely expensive. However, it all gets justified with all the big upgrades it gets in every department. And today we’ll be discussing just that but with the help of pictures. So, let’s get started -

The new Alza measures 4,425 mm in length, 1,730 mm in width, and 1,670 in height. Its ground clearance and wheelbase are 160 mm and 2,750 mm respectively. Compared to the previous-gen model, it is 205 mm longer and 35 mm wider.

It offers a seating capacity of seven and has a boot capacity 137-litre which can be expanded to 498-litre with the 3rd seat down. Also, its flexible seating arrangement makes it a perfect commuter. It can be configured in the following modes depending on the requirement - 7-seater mode (with ample legroom for all passengers), a 5-seater mode, a 2-seater mode, flexi mode, and rest mode.

The new Alza offers a smooth and fuel-efficient drive thanks to its 1.5-litre 4-cyl, DOHC EFI with Dual VVT-i engine. The said unit generates a maximum power of 105 hp at 6,000 rpm and a peak torque of 138 Nm at 4,200 rpm. The mill is paired to the world’s first split CVT system, D-CVT gearbox with manual mode. Also, it offers a fuel efficiency of 22 kmpl and three drive modes - Eco, Normal, and Power.

At the front, enhancing its look is a chrome and glossy black front grille with the Perodua logo in the centre. It surely makes a striking impression on the onlooker.

Illuminating the road ahead are Alza’s LED headlights with sequential side turn indicators. These units are a perfect combo of style and function.

Enhancing the visibility further are the front LED fog lamps. They not only add to the car’s look but improve the driver's night vision.

Perodua has tuned the new Alza with stylish features, one of them is the auto folding side mirrors with LED turn indicators.

The new Alza benefits from 16-inch alloys with rear disc brakes. These units make a strong side profile impression.

For the model year 2022, the Alza gets overall LED lighting and the rear gets LED back door tail lamps.

For those who think it is difficult to get in & out of big cars like Alza, we’d like to say it’s not like that here. As the Perodua MPV is designed with a low ride height, making it easy for kids and the elderly.

The Alza comes with a strong air-conditioning system and the rear AC vents just add up to the amazing deal. Thus making sure all passengers enjoy the cool AC breeze. Also present is a blower speed knob with three levels, it is located in the middle which makes it easily accessible to rear passengers.

Adding to the MPVs premium look and feel are the 2-tone semi-leather seats and leather steering wheel with switch functions.

The Alza is loaded with storage compartments and one of them is the centre armrest at the front and 2nd row seat.

The Alza’s range-topping AV variant comes with an electronic parking brake with auto hold function. It replaces the manual handbrake between seats and it automatically activates when the driver shifts into P. Brake hold function when switched on activates brakes in a traffic jam with the driver not required to put foot on the pedal.

The Alza gets a 7.0-inch colour meter panel in combination with a digital speedo - with the same high-resolution and customisable cluster.

The new MPV comes with a 9.0-inch infotainment system with Ativa H/AV-like high-resolution. The screen is pushed to the left with the right side housing the USB and HDMI port. It gets wired Android Auto connectivity but misses out on Apple CarPlay.

It includes Pre-collision Braking (PCB or AEB, vehicle 4-120 km/h, pedestrian 4-60 km/h), Pre-collision Warning (PCW, vehicle 4-120 kmph, pedestrian 4-60 kmph), Pedal Misoperation Control (PMC), and Front Departure Alert (FDA). The MPV also gets six airbags and Lane Departure Warning & Prevention. The range-topping AV trim also gets semi-autonomous gears like Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Control.
