KUALA LUMPUR: Perodua has freshened up the look of the Aruz SUV with new features and a new colour to stay competitive.
Both variants will now feature side steps to ease entry and exit, plus automatic door-locking when the vehicle is travelling above 20kph.
Doors will automatically unlock in the event of a collision.
A new Passion Red body colour - which is exclusively available for the AV variant - joins the existing palette of Granite Grey, Electric Blue, Glittering Silver and Ivory White.
Prices remain unchanged. The X variant is retailing for RM68,526 (on-the-road, before insurance), while the AV variant is going for RM73,226 in Peninsular Malaysia.
Classified as an energy-efficient vehicle, Perodua touts the Aruz as offering space, safety, versatility, durability, practicality and low ownership costs in a compact, seven-seater package.
"With well over 60,000 units sold since its launch in 2019, the Perodua Aruz was the nation's best-selling SUV in 2019 and 2020.
"But, true to the principles of Kaizen, we believe there are always ways we can make our products incrementally better," its president/chief executive officer Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad said in a statement today.
