Having been teased for release last week, the Perodua Aruz now officially gets its new exterior colour, Elegant Black that replaces Passion Red, and it joins the selection of exterior colours including Ivory White, Glittering Silver, Granite Grey, Electric Blue and Garnet Red for the Malaysian carmaker’s seven-seater SUV.
At present, and with the latest addition of the Elegant Black exterior colour choice, the Perodua Aruz continues to be priced at RM72,900 for the 1.5 X variant, and RM77,900 for the 1.5 AV variant, and this new exterior colour is available across all variants.
Under its skin, the Perodua Aruz continues to be powered by the 2NR-VE 1.5 litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol engine that is rated to produce 101 hp at 6,000 rpm and 133 Nm of torque at 4,200 rpm. This drives the rear wheels through a four-speed automatic transmission.
Equipment for the Aruz continues unchanged, with 17-inch wheels shod in 215/60R17 tyres, LED headlamps with LED combination tail lamps; the AV variant gains automatic functionality for the headlamps as well as roof rails. Also on are a keyless entry and engine start, a built-in toll reader, manual air-conditioning with digital controls and rear vents, a seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system, six speaker-audio, and two USB ports.
For safety kit there are six airbags, ABS, EBD, brake assist, VSC, traction control, hill start assist, a reverse camera as well as solar and security window film; the AV variant adds ASA 2.0 (consisting of Pre-collision Warning, Pre-collision Braking, Front Departure Alert and Pedal Misoperation Control) and an integrated driving video recorder (dashcam).
The Perodua Aruz is covered by a five-year, 150,000 km warranty, and bookings for the seven-seater SUV are being taken at authorised Perodua showrooms only. Customers looking to purchase on trade-in may do so through Perodua POV (Perodua Pre-Owned Vehicles).
