Where is the RM 20k Difference between Toyota Veloz and Perodua Alza? Which One is Your Favorite?

AshleyApr 10, 2024, 10:51 AM

The 2022 Perodua Alza and 2022 Toyota Veloz are built on the same platform, share the same power system, and are both produced by the Perodua Rawang factory.

However, the 2022 Toyota Veloz is priced at RM 95,000, which is RM 20,000 more expensive than the top-of-the-line 2022 Perodua Alza. You might be wondering whether the buyers of the 2022 Toyota Veloz are buying it for the Toyota emblem, or other configurations.

Here is a list of differences between the 2022 Toyota Veloz and the 2022 Perodua Alza.

The differences in front and rear bumper designs of Veloz and Alza

The main styling differences between the 2022 Perodua Alza and the 2022 Toyota Veloz are concentrated on the front and rear bumpers and wheel arches.

The biggest differences lie in the designs of the radiator grille and fog lamp decorative plates, while the wheel arches of the 2022 Toyota Veloz are more clearly contoured on the side view. The rear part's lower edge of the rear bumper and the end rear reflectors are also different.

2022 Toyota Veloz equipped with bigger wheels

The 2022 Toyota Veloz comes with a larger 17-inch wheel, while the Alza AV and H models are equipped with 16-inch wheels, and the entry-level Alza X model only comes with 15-inch wheels.

Toyota Veloz is fitted with larger wheel rims that give its Toyota siblings a more luxurious and sporty appearance.

The 2022 Toyota Veloz offers LED headlights and DRL

The 2022 Toyota Veloz comes with LED headlights and LED Daytime Running Lights (DRL) for a more stylish lighting standard.

On the other hand, the 2022 Perodua Alza is equipped with LED headlights and LED front fog lights in AV and H models. Although you can add a RM 2,500 GearUp kit for an extra charge, and add LEDs at the bottom of the front lip, these are just LED guide lights, not DRLs.

2022 Toyota Veloz Offers Two-Tone Paint

Although Veloz and Alza both offer 5 body colors, the 2022 Toyota Veloz offers two two-tone body paints (silver/black roof and blue/black roof) for an additional fee of RM 1,300.


On the other hand, the 2022 Perodua Alza also offers five colors. Garnet Red and Vintage Brown are only available for Alza H and AV models.

The ground clearance of the 2022 Toyota Veloz is higher than that of the 2022 Perodua Alza

The ground clearance of the 2022 Toyota Veloz is 190 mm, which is 30 mm higher than the 2022 Alza's 160 mm.

The ground clearance of the 2022 Toyota Veloz is still lower than Xpander's (205 mm), but it gives Veloz a more imposing SUV stance, while the ride height of Alza is closer to that of a "traditional" MPV, such as Proton Exora.

The 2022 Toyota Veloz is equipped with a roof rack

The roof rack of the 2022 Toyota Veloz highlights a more robust SUV style, while the 2022 Alza does not offer a roof rack configuration.

2022 Toyota Veloz gets full-size LED tail light bar

On the rear tailgate of the 2022 Toyota Veloz, the word "Veloz" is printed, and the LED light bar spans the entire tailgate and merges with the factory emblem.

The 2022 Perodua Alza taillight bar is shorter and has no Azla badge in the middle.

The 2022 Toyota Veloz has a different cabin design

Apart from aesthetic differences, the 2022 Toyota Veloz has some interior styling upgrades to make it feel more luxurious.

The most noticeable are the white center instrument panel trim strip, and the patterned silver trim strips on both sides of the center console. On the top-spec Alza 1.5 AV, the same decoration is changed to a red panel.

Upon closer observation, you will find that Alza and Veloz are equipped with different air conditioning vent designs.

Blue ambient light is a standard configuration for Veloz

The 2022 Toyota Veloz provides blue ambient lighting, with LED lights along the side of the door panel and control panel.

For Alza owners who want to install LED atmospheric lights, Perodua also provides floor lights as part of Alza's GearUp kit, with a retail price of RM 250.

Veloz is the first Toyota model to offer wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

Veloz and Alza are equipped with the same size 9-inch phonograph, but Veloz has confirmed to provide wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connection functions.

On the other hand, the 2022 Perodua Alza uses wired Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. In other words, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are only available for the top-of-the-line Alza 1.5 AV model.

The 2022 Toyota Veloz provides a wireless Qi charging function, which is located behind the electronic handbrake, and underneath the center armrest to maintain cleanliness and convenience, while the 2022 Perodua Alza can only provide wired charging through the USB charging port.

The 2022 Toyota Veloz comes with an air conditioning control interface equipped with automatic constant-temperature air conditioning. On the other hand, the 2022 Perodua Alza comes with the familiar Perodua air conditioning interface, which does not have automatic constant temperature air conditioning control, but provides 2 preset air conditioning settings. Alza also provides foot and front windshield defogging functions.

Conclusion

For many buyers, the D27A Perodua Alza meets all the right conditions because it is safe, practical, and most importantly, it is affordably priced.

However, Veloz still has its advantages. For the extra RM 20k, not only can you get a more functional 7-seater MPV, but more importantly, Veloz is an excellent entry point for becoming a Toyota owner, which has been highly praised in many aspects.
