KUALA LUMPUR As 2025 draws to a close, Perodua has unveiled what could be its most practical and people-focused SUV yet the Perodua Traz. Priced from RM76,100, this new urban SUV is designed specifically around Malaysian driving habits, road conditions, and cost-conscious lifestyles.
Positioned above the Perodua Ativa, the Traz enters the competitive B-segment SUV space with a slightly larger footprint, stronger road presence, and a major emphasis on fuel efficiency and everyday usability.
Built in Malaysia, for Malaysians
Developed with an investment of RM563.3 million, the Perodua Traz is produced at the Rawang manufacturing plant with an impressive 95% local content reinforcing Perodua’s commitment to strengthening Malaysia’s automotive ecosystem.
With a target of 1,900 units sold per month, the Traz is clearly aimed at young families, daily commuters, and long-distance drivers looking for maximum value without premium pricing.
Variants & Pricing (Peninsular Malaysia, OTR without insurance)
- Perodua Traz X – RM76,100
- Perodua Traz H – RM81,100
- Perodua Traz H (Two-Tone) – RM82,000
Colour options include Cranberry Red, Electric Blue with Black Roof, Glittering Silver, Ivory White, and Granite Grey, with deliveries already underway.
Bigger Where It Matters Most
Dimension-wise, the Traz is noticeably larger than the Ativa:
- Length: 4,310mm
- Width: 1,770mm
- Height: 1,655mm
- Wheelbase: 2,620mm
- Ground Clearance: 210mm
One of its biggest highlights is the massive 471-litre boot, making it one of the most practical SUVs in its class — perfect for balik kampung trips, grocery runs, or weekend getaways.
Engineered for Efficiency
Powering the Traz is a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated 4-cylinder engine (2NR-VE) paired with a D-CVT gearbox, producing 105hp and 138Nm of torque.
According to Perodua, fuel consumption stands at 21.3 km/l, based on the Malaysia Driving Cycle. At the launch, Perodua CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad confidently stated that under the right conditions drivers could travel from Kuala Lumpur to Penang for under RM35 in fuel costs.
Smart, Comfortable Cabin
Inside, the Traz delivers a modern and functional interior with:
- 9-inch infotainment display with Apple CarPlay & Android Auto
- 4.2-inch TFT instrument cluster
- 3 USB-C ports + 1 USB-A port
- Rear air-conditioning vents

- Powered tailgate with motion sensor
- Auto air-conditioning
- Keyless smart entry

- Lane departure warning & prevention
- Blind spot monitoring
- Rear cross traffic alert
- Parking and driving assist systems
While it skips adaptive cruise control, the safety offering remains strong for its price point.
