The highest specification level of the Perodua Alza is actually a model called the Perodua Alza Advanced Version, which is basically based on the Alza 1.5 Automatic Premium and Manual Premium but with a few additional specifications. You can book this now but delivery will only start in March 2010.
You basically get a new bodykit which consists of front, rear and side skirts and a different rear spoiler. On the inside, you get leather seat covers for all the seats, but the leather treatment does not continue onto the door trim. Also provided is a 5 inch touchscreen LCD which has a Windows CE-based GPS navigation system with a SiRF Atlas IV chipset and 500MHz CPU. The LCD also displays a feed from a 150 degree lense reverse camera.

Finally, there is tinted film for all the glass in the Alza which Perodua claims is GPS and SmartTAG friendly. Perodua states the specifications as following: 95% IR rejection, 99% UV rejection, 70% light for the front windscreen and about over 50% light for the rest of the glass. This tint has a 5 year warranty against peeling, oxidisation, cracking, discoloration and fading. I assume that as an OEM option this tint is also JPJ-approved.
The Alza Advanced Version manual goes for RM66,490 for solid and RM66,990 for metallic, while the Alza Advanced Version automatic goes for RM69,490 for solid and RM69,990 for metallic. The S. Metallic option is missing because the Alza Advanced Version only comes in three colours – Ivory White, Ebony Black and Classy Purple, while the only special metallic colour is Pearl White.
I reckon you could probably get a good Garmin nuvi for under RM1,000 and add on a very good set of tint for about RM2,000 to RM3,000 or so maximum. If you don’t want the leather seat covers and bodykit you’re better off adding your own tint and GPS. Not sure about the cost of the reverse camera though.

Perodua Alza MPV - It has already seen 3,500 bookings in ten days
KUALA LUMPUR: The newly launched 1.5litre Perodua Alza MPV goes on sale Tuesday.
The prices range between RM56,000 to RM64,000 per unit for the standard model and between RM67,000 and RM70,000 for the advanced version.
Alza, which means “to rise” in Spanish, rose to the occasion when it was launched with the tagline “Versatile As You” at a ceremony that saw about 900 industry players, Perodua staff, local and foreign journalists and car enthusiasts.
It has already seen 3,500 bookings in ten days.
It was learnt that waiting periods for delivery to buyers of the Alza could be as short as ten days or within three months.
The 1.5-litre engine Alza comes in six variants - two standards and two premiums with either 4-speed automatic or 5-speed manual transmissions.
Two more advanced versions will go on sale from March next year with complete bodykit, GPS with reverse camera, tinted windows and leather seats.
The seven-seater comes standard with projector headlamps, LED taillights, centre-mounted meter panels and a second row seat with a 150mm sliding room on rails.
Its audio system accommodates CD, MP3 and WMA formats with a USB portand Bluetooth connectivity thrown in for the premium versions.
The premium versions also feature for the first time in Peroduavehicles switches for the audio system such as volume control andradio channel dial.
The meter panel’s multi-info display also shows average fuel consumption and maximum travelling range at the current fuel level.
Aimed at young families and single urban males and females, the Alza also debuted with a new colour, Classy Purple along with Ebony Black, Ivory White, Pearl White, Medallion Grey, and Glittering Silver.
Perodua managing director Datuk Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar said the best selling national car maker targeted to sell between 3,500 and 4,000 units of the new MPV monthly.
He added that the Alza was all about giving passengers the space they needed with the handling that feels like one is driving a car.
“It’s all about how you use space. All about being versatile and stylish and keeping it affordable to own and maintain.
“With the introduction of the Alza, Perodua aims to maintain its pole position in 2010 in terms of sales with a target of 176,000, the highest ever for Perodua,” he told reporters before the launch.
It was launched by Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre Monday.
Regarded as the “most Malaysian” Perodua to date, Perodua chairman TanSri Asmat Kamaludin said the MPV was developed with nearly 90 percent locally made components.
It was developed over two years by Perodua with about RM300mil in investment.
The bestselling MyVi was developed with RM280mil in 2005 and RM240mil for the Viva launched in 2007.
“The Alza represents the maturity of Malaysian automotive vendors in producing high end parts.
“Overall, we have 100 vendors on the Alza project, of which 94 are local companies,” Asmat said.
