All new Daihatsu Xenia

All new Toyota Veloz

Here’s how the collaboration works:

• 🏗️ Platform Sharing: The Alza shares its underpinnings with the Toyota Veloz and Daihatsu Xenia, all built on the DNGA platform.

• 🚘 Design & Features: While the core structure and mechanicals are common, Perodua localized the styling, equipment levels, and pricing to suit Malaysian buyers.

• 🔧 Manufacturing: The Alza is assembled by Perodua in Malaysia, with adaptations for local regulations and customer preferences.

So, it’s not just a rebadge — Perodua actively participated in tailoring the Alza for Malaysia, but the DNA is shared with Daihatsu and Toyota.
