Perodua Aruz pairs flexible cargo space with practical safety equipment

The tall, upright body gives the Aruz a proper SUV stance, while the prominent grille and angular bumper treatment add visual presence. At 1,695 mm wide and 4,435 mm long, its proportions remain manageable for Malaysian urban roads and parking spaces.

The cabin follows a straightforward, functional layout with fabric seats and a monochrome instrument display. Bluetooth supports everyday phone connectivity, while second-row air vents are useful in Malaysia’s hot weather. Sliding second-row seats, split-folding rear seats and child-seat anchors also make the interior easier to adapt for family use.

The 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine produces 102 PS and 133 Nm, paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Peak torque arrives at 4,200 rpm, placing the engine’s strongest pull in the mid-to-upper rev range. This is a conventional powertrain focused on straightforward daily operation rather than outright performance.

A 2,685 mm wheelbase and tall 1,740 mm body give the five-person cabin practical proportions. The luggage area expands from 213 to 514 litres, so owners can trade passenger seating flexibility for more room when carrying groceries, luggage or larger household items.

Safety equipment covers the key areas for daily family driving. ABS, electronic brake-force distribution, brake assist, traction control and stability control help the driver maintain control, while front, side and curtain airbags extend protection across more of the cabin. Child-seat anchors add another useful layer for young families.

Official combined fuel consumption is rated at 15.6 km/L, or 6.41 litres per 100 km. Together with a 45-litre petrol tank, the Aruz has an efficiency-focused setup suited to regular commuting and family journeys.
