KUALA LUMPUR: Amid a softening automotive market, Perodua is continuing its offensive to boost sales with new variants of the Alza and Myvi.

It is introducing the Alza S and Myvi Premium XS 1.3 litre at Perodua showrooms nationwide starting today.

“The new variants, the Alza S and the Myvi Premium XS 1.3 litre, are the result of our continuous efforts to improve our product offerings in line with consumer preferences,” said Perodua president-cum-CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh.

The tactic is comparable to what Toyota has done earlier this month by upgrading existing models  to give “more value” to the car-buying public and keeping prices unchanged (at least for the Alza).

Alza S


The Alza S replaces the standard Alza, and adds front, rear and side skirtings, rear spoilers, rear combination tail lamps with clear lens and fog lamps on the exterior.

In addition, its interior is fitted with a steering leather wrap including an audio switch, an audio system with USB & Bluetooth and a meter panel with white illumination.

The full Alza line-up comes in Passion Red, Ebony Black, Mystical Purple, Glittering Silver and Ivory White, while the Metallic Electric Blue is exclusively for the Alza S variant.

As for the Myvi Premium XS 1.3 litre, it is RM2,000 more than the Premium X. Like the Alza S, Perodua has also introduced a sportier image with GearUp skirtings at the front, side and rear, as well as projector headlamps with guide lights.

“This will give Myvi customers options if they want a much sportier Myvi 1.3 litre at an affordable price,” Aminar said.

For the interior, the compact car company installed a new fabric seat design, with a dark interior finish.

“These new variants will complement our existing model line-up for both the Alza and Myvi, while the price positioning will hopefully attract more consumers to be part of the 2.5 million customers who have touched us,” said Aminar.

Alza S


The Alza S solid colour is priced at RM52,332 for the manual transmission and RM55,332 for the automatic transmission, while the Myvi Premium XS 1.3 litre solid colour is priced from RM48,862.16, and is only available in automatic transmission.

“With the introduction of these two new variants, we expect our monthly sales volume for the Alza and Myvi to reach 3,400 units and 7,500 units respectively”, said Aminar.

Both the Alza S and Myvi Premium XS come with a five-year warranty, similar to all other Perodua models.
