Perodua Alza

The long awaited Perodua MPV is finally here!

I didn’t get to go as I was not feeling well for the launching.
Must be the “landas” season, been feeling a bit under the weather of late …..

A friend Solomon, from our local Perodua Dealer; Erazoom of Jalan Satok did ask our people to attend the launching yesterday. (23rd of Nov)

Well, we finally went to one of Perodua’s showroom located at Jalan Tun Abg. Openg.
It was a rather wet afternoon, so I didn’t want to try and drive the test unit which is readily made available to anyone who requested it.

The prices given us ranging from RM57,000 - RM72,000..

I didn’t ask how long the “queue” is if you were to place a Booking Fee today?

Compare to Proton’s Exora, this should give them a run for their money because Perodua’s is cheaper though comparatively, smaller in size!

The “ALZA” the chosen name, is running on a 1.5cc DVVT, DOHC 16 valve (4 valves per cylinder) engine with EFI (electronic fuel injection)

It has a 3yr or the 100,000km Manufacturer’s Warranty,whichever comes first!

This time, Perodua only added 1 “new color” that is Classy Purple.

The fuel capacity is only 42 litres, equivalent to today’s gas price if you opt for our RON 95, RM75.60 only!

By the way, ALZA is a Spanish word, I was taken aback why the Management agreed to the name, or is that solely for business reasons?

But then again, why Kelisa, Kancil? I would prefer it “christened” a Malaysian instead of “dan lain-lain?” What say you?

But then again Malaysia Boleh …. yang mana tak boleh, kot? Cakap je?

1Malaysia kan?
