Interior configuration

Aruz's interior design is unique. Two silver decorative bars on the dashboard outline the overall shape and are equipped with Perodua's own 7-inch infotainment screen.

All models are equipped with 17-inch two-color alloy wheels, keyless entry and start system, integrated SmartTAG, six airbags, ABS anti-lock braking system, EBD electronic brake force distribution system, brake assist system, vehicle stability control system, hill-start assist, gradient descent control and Isofix child seat interface on the second-row outer seats.

Perodua Aruz achieved the ASEAN NCAP five-star safety rating issued by the Malaysian Road Safety Research Institute (MIROS), which proves its excellent performance in terms of safety.

Power System

Aruz is powered by the same 2NR-VE Dual VVT-i 1.5 liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine as the Toyota Rush, but the Aruz's power is 3Ps and 3Nm lower than the Rush's. The maximum horsepower of it is 102PS (6000rpm), and the maximum torque is 133Nm (4200rpm).

This Dual VVT-i engine is equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The fuel efficiency of Aruz is 15.6 kilometers per liter (6.4 liters per 100 kilometers).

Although Aruz has some shortcomings, as a household SUV with a friendly price, Aruz still has high value. Its rich safety configuration, a large amount of space and flexible driving performance make it a good choice for household cars.

Compared with competitors such as Honda BR-V, Proton Exora, and Mitsubishi Xpander, Aruz has a clear advantage in cost performance. Overall, Perodua Aruz is a practical SUV that can meet the needs of most families.
