All-New Perodua Alza received
highest ever booking with over 30,000 orders
Kuala Lumpur, 20 July: The All-New Perodua Alza received over 30,000 bookings
since the compact carmaker took orders on 23 June 2022, the highest ever in the
brand’s history.
“This achievement was due to several factors, chief among them was that
customers wanted to take full advantage of sales tax exemption initiative which
expired on 30 June 2022 and of the over 200,000 bookings we currently hold,
nearly 15% was for this full model change,” Perodua President and Chief
Executive Officer, Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad said.
Dato’ Zainal said this at the official launch of the All-New Perodua
Alza, which was attended by the Right Honourable Prime Minister Dato’ Sri
Ismail Sabri Yaakob, Perodua Chairman Tan Sri Asmat Kamaludin and Daihatsu
Motor Co. President, Mr Soichiro Okudaira.
He said the other factors include the attractiveness of the All-New
Perodua Alza’s overall value package. This include enhanced safety features
such as 6 airbags, Advanced Safety Assist features, enhanced digital offerings,
ample space and improved driving comfort.
Dato’ Zainal said that nearly 4,000 customers converted their Perodua Alza orders to the latest version even before its open for booking was officially announced.
“Beginning today, some of our customers will be receiving their All-New
Perodua Alza from 195 authorised sales showrooms across the country. Also, we
assure our customers who booked their All-New Perodua Alza on or before 30 June
will receive their vehicle before the 31 March 2023 deadline,” Dato’ Zainal
said.
The All-New Perodua Alza is officially priced at RM62,500 for the X
variant, RM68,000 for the H variant and RM75,500 for the AV variant (prices
in West Malaysia, with Sales Tax and without insurance).
For those who booked their All-New Perodua Alza on or before 30 June
2022 and receive their unit on or before 31 March 2023 will enjoy lower prices
as they qualify for the sales exemption initiative.
The Malaysian government recently announced that all vehicles booked on
or before 30 June may still enjoy the sales tax exemption initiative as long as
their vehicles are registered on or before 31 March 2023.
On development of the All-New Perodua Alza, Dato’ Zainal said that the
company invested RM770 million to develop the model since April 2018.
The All-New Perodua Alza was jointly developed under the Daihatsu New
Global Architecture (DNGA) where Malaysian designers and engineers worked with
their counterparts within Daihatsu Motor Co. of Japan.
“This partnership has allowed Perodua and its suppliers to work together
with Daihatsu to achieve economies of scale and improve development cost of new
models, and in this case, the All-New Perodua Alza,” Dato’ Zainal said.
He said that the All-New Perodua Alza is the second model developed
under DNGA after the Perodua Ativa, which was introduced in March 2021.
