Overview

The Perodua Aruz is a B-segment SUV from the 2019 generation, with seven seats, rear-wheel drive and a 1.5-litre petrol automatic drivetrain. It suits buyers whose priority is carrying up to seven people rather than choosing between powertrains: both versions use the same 101 hp, 1,496 cc petrol engine. Prices start from RM72,900.

Aruz in 2026 — what's new

The 2019-generation Aruz carries into 2026 unchanged mechanically, with the 1.5 X and 1.5 AV both retaining a 1,496 cc, 101 hp petrol engine, automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive and seven seats. Its latest production update is the August 2025 revision: a matte-black grille, revised interior trim and alloys, plus Vintage Brown replacing Electric Blue. A July 2026 promotion cuts up to RM4,000 from the Aruz.

Which variant to buy

Start with the 1.5 X at RM72,900. It shares the AV’s 1,496 cc, 101 hp petrol engine, automatic transmission, rear-wheel drive and seven-seat layout, so it is the rational default for buyers focused on the core package. The 1.5 AV costs RM77,900, a RM5,000 step. On paper, you are paying for trim rather than mechanicals; pay more only after checking that its equipment list includes items you will use.

Perodua Aruz buyer's guides & reviews

Verdict

The Aruz is a straightforward seven-seat B-segment SUV, not a choice of engine or drivetrain. Both versions make 101 hp from 1,496 cc and send it through an automatic to the rear wheels. Price positioning is tight: the X is RM3,200 below the Traz X, while the AV is RM1,800 above it. The RM5,000 step from X to AV needs to be justified feature by feature.
