New Perodua MPV Alza Launched!

Car One Moment, MPV The Next – Perodua Alza : Meaning it’s still a car la… basically. haha.

It’s like what I tell ppl… the new Perodua Alza MPV is just like longer version of MyVi “MyVi 拉长版“. Haha… So what’s your view on Produa Alza vs Proton Exora? Look similar to Proton Exora but price wise Perodua Alza is cheaper than Proton Exora. Personally I think this model will bring Perodua to another level after Myvi and this is in the MPV category. Good job Perodua!

So which do you think ppl will buy? I think cheaper version will be more popular among Malaysian agree with me? haha. I’m sure this will beat Toyota Avanza also since it’s using Toyota engine and 1.5 leh! Right?

Proton unveils its first MPV, the Exora

KUALA LUMPUR: Proton Holdings Bhd unveiled its first multipurpose vehicle (MPV), the Exora, to the public in a gala event here Wednesday night.

Launched by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak, the 1.6-litre Exora has already received orders of 2,500 units, even before its public unveiling.

The seven-seater — Proton’s most important model for the year — also marks the company’s entry into the MPV market, which is growing domestically and regionally.

The Exora is a result of an investment of RM450mil and 18 months of intense in-house research and development, the company said.

It is powered by a 1.6-litre CamPro CPS engine with 125bhp and torque of 150Nm, and is available in a four-speed automatic version, in trim levels of Mid-Line and Hi-Line.
