Verdict
At RM76,100, the lower-priced Perodua Traz delivers the same 1,496 cc petrol engine, 105 hp, 138 Nm and CVT as the RM81,100 version, along with the same six airbags and ASA 3.0 braking. The RM5,000 gap is therefore not about performance or safety fundamentals. It buys single-zone automatic climate control, a powered contactless boot and a 360-degree camera, while adding 5 kg. For most Malaysian buyers, the cheaper car is the rational pick; pay extra if those daily-use conveniences matter to you.
Pick the Perodua Traz if you want the same 105 hp, 138 Nm drivetrain and core safety kit for RM5,000 less.
Pick the Perodua Traz if single-zone automatic climate control, a powered contactless boot and a 360-degree camera justify RM5,000 to you.
