Verdict
At RM62,500, the Alza costs RM10,000 more than the RM46,500 Myvi, but brings seven seats, a 2,750-mm wheelbase and ASA 3.0 braking with pedestrian detection. Its 105 hp and 138 Nm also exceed the Myvi’s 94 hp and 121 Nm. The Myvi makes more sense for five people or fewer: it uses 4.5 L/100 km against 5.3, carries 277 litres behind the seats and cuts annual road tax from RM120 to RM70. The Alza is the family tool; the Myvi is the cheaper daily.
Pick the Perodua Alza if you need seven seats, rear air-con vents and its ASA 3.0 pre-collision braking system.
Pick the Perodua Myvi if five seats are enough and you want RM10,000 lower purchase cost, lower road tax and better rated fuel economy.
