Verdict
At RM62,500 against RM46,500, the Alza’s RM16,000 premium buys seven seats, a 2,750-mm wheelbase and six airbags, plus ASA 3.0 braking from 4-120 km/h. It uses 5.3 L/100 km and leaves 137 litres of boot space, so its family advantage comes with compromises. The Myvi’s 4.5 L/100 km rating, 985-kg kerb weight and 277-litre boot suit a smaller household, but it has five seats, four airbags and no autonomous braking. For carrying people, take Alza; for leaner daily use, Myvi.
Pick the Perodua Alza if you need seven seats, rear air-con vents and its ASA 3.0 active-safety package.
Pick the Perodua Myvi if five seats are enough and you want lower fuel use, a larger boot and RM16,000 left in your pocket.

Which has better safety equipment?
The Alza has the stronger safety specification: six airbags, ASA 3.0 pre-collision braking with pedestrian detection, steering correction lane-keeping assist, collision warning and front departure alert. The Myvi has four airbags, ABS/EBD and stability control, but no autonomous braking.
