Setelah berjaya mencatat jualan tertinggi dalam sejarah pada tahun 2018, Perodua mempunyai sasaran baharu bagi tahun 2019 dimana mereka akan berusaha keras untuk mencapai jumlah jualan unit kenderaan sebanyak 231,000 atau 4% peningkatan jika dibandingkan jualan tahun lepas. (more…)
Derived from the word ‘arus’ which means ‘current’ in Bahasa Malaysia, second national carmaker Perodua finally took the wraps-off the much-awaited new Arus 7-seater SUV at a huge launch event at MITEC recently. Perodua is no stranger to the SUV/MPV game, having introduced models like the Rusa, Kembara and Nautica in the past. Here’s the first walkabout video directly from the launch!
It does beg the question though whether the Arus is indeed an SUV or an MPV, because it seats seven but only has 2-wheel drive. Perhaps we’ll call it an MPSUV then. Levity aside, there are two variants to choose from, the X and AV or ‘Advance’, priced at RM72,900 and RM77,900 respectively. You can download the official Aruz brochure here: Perodua ARUZ_Brochure
Powertrain wise, both variants of the Aruz run a 1.5-litre (1,496cc), 4-cyl (2NR-VE) DOHC engine with Dual-VVTi that churns out about 102bhp and 133Nm of torque, mated to a 4-speed automatic transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. Fuel-efficiency seems to be the key here as opposed to outright power, because the Aruz is capable of returning 15.6km/L in ‘Eco Idle’ mode. Speaking of wheels, the Aruz rides on 17-inch alloys (both variants), shod with 215/60 R17 tyres.
Stay tuned for the official test drive coming soon!
Setelah sekian lama dalam perancangan masa depan Perodua, SUV 7-tempat duduk terkini iaitu Perodua Aruz 2019 telahpun dilancarkan secara rasmi sebentar tadi. Seperti yang telah diumumkan oleh Perodua awal bulan ini, terdapat dua varian yang boleh dipilih oleh para pelanggan iaitu X dan AV (Advance). (more…)
Perodua Aruz, the national carmaker’s much-awaited three-row seven-seater Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV), is now open for booking with estimated prices of between RM72,200 and RM77,200 (on-the-road before insurance in Peninsular Malaysia).
“The Perodua Aruz is our fourth transformation model, setting new standards for us in quality, space, fuel efficiency and safety – the latter bolstered by a 5-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating. With these qualities and more, the Perodua Aruz is among the best-value SUVs in Malaysia,” Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad said, adding that the vehicle comes with a five-year/150,000 km warranty (whichever comes first).
“The Perodua Aruz is expected to complement our existing product line-up and based on our value proposition, we expect sales of this new model to average 2,500 units monthly or 31,200 units by end-2019,” Dato’ Zainal added. Two variants of the Perodua Aruz are offered, namely the 1.5 X and 1.5 Advance, with five colours available – Ivory White, Glittering Silver, Electric Blue, Granite Grey and a new Amazon Green.
Contributing to the Perodua Aruz’s 5-star ASEAN NCAP safety rating are Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Hill Start Assist (HSA), ISOFIX and 6 airbags, which are all standard across the range. Furthermore, the Advance variant debuts an upgraded version of the Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) active safety suite, called ASA 2.0 (above).
ASA 2.0 adds pedestrian detection (up to 50 km/h) to the safety suite and increases the operational speeds of Pre-Collision Warning to 100 km/h and Pre-Collision Braking to 80 km/h. The safety suite continues to incorporate Front Departure Alert and Pedal Misoperation Control. ASA is a driver assistance system that helps to reduce the risk of collisions and is by no means a substitute for safe driving. Always be alert and cautious behind the wheel.
“The Perodua Aruz is perfect for families and those with active, aspirational lifestyles. The elevated driving position affords great visibility all round, while the abundance of space and flexible seating layouts make the vehicle extremely versatile and adaptable to any activity you wish to undertake,” Dato’ Zainal said. The Perodua Aruz’s efficient powertrain, built in Sendayan, Negeri Sembilan, consists of an aluminium-block 1.5 litre four-cylinder engine with Dual VVT-i and an electronically-controlled automatic transmission (E-AT).
These join forces with Eco Idle to give a best-in-class rated fuel efficiency of 15.6 km/l, allowing it to be government-certified as an Energy-Efficient Vehicle (EEV). Featuring bold LED headlamps with follow-me-home function (auto lights on Advance variant), the Perodua Aruz sits on 17-inch two-tone alloys, with a ground clearance of 220 mm. Smart Entry with Push Start/Stop Button is also standard, while the Advance variant adds fog lamps and roof rails for extra style points.
The interior is at once functional, stylish and practical, with the Perodua-developed anti-snatch hook to deter handbag thieves and fold-away utility hooks on the backs of the front seats. All variants get a touch-screen radio with reverse camera display, digital air-con with two memory settings, air vents for the rear passengers and a built-in toll card reader. The second row is split 60:40 while the third row is split 50:50. Both rows can slide, fold and tumble, yielding a multitude of seating and loading configurations to suit every occasion and lifestyle. There are charging ports in all three rows.
Interior equipment exclusive to the Advance variant are leather seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with call-receive controls, plus an integrated driving video recorder. The top variant also gets HDMI, Smart Link, Bluetooth and Navigation added to its touch-screen system. “For more information on the Perodua Aruz, we welcome the public to speak with our authorised sales advisors at any of our sales outlets nationwide. The Perodua Aruz will appear in showrooms very soon, but don’t wait – book now to elevate your life in an instant and start 2019 riding high!” Dato’ Zainal said.
