Perodua Aiming for the Aruz to Top SUV Sales in Sabah & Sarawak / Perodua Aruz TransBorneo Convoy is Ongoing - 16th to 22nd March 2019

Perodua has announced that is would like for their new SUV, the Perodua Aruz, to top the SUV sales charts over in Sabah and Sarawak. The two states, make up East Malaysia and is a predominantly SUV-driven market. This new target by Perodua was announced at the flag off for the Perodua Aruz TransBorneo Convoy, where six Perodua Aruz will travel from Kuching, Sarawak to Tawau in Sabah. This is a 1,500km journey and should be a journey that will prove the capabilities of the Aruz SUV for the people over there.

Here is a video on the newly launched 2019 Perodua Aruz, the Malaysian compact car manufacturer's first 7 seater SUV. To date, the Aruz has garnered over 2,000 bookings prior to the launch and it looks like it will be one of the more popular people carriers under the RM100,000 price range. Coming in at way under that price at RM72,900 and RM77,900 for the Aruz X and the Aruz Advance respectively, it is an affordable people carrier with SUV style looks and construction.

It's been an extremely busy end of 2018 and early 2019 for me folks! First, there was the usual year end holidays to get through. I ended up in Phuket, Thailand for some R&R (if you follow Motoring Malaysia on YouTube and on our Facebook page, you know we've been quite active with a couple of posts). Then there was the first week of school to get through. I have a 14 year old daughter to deal with and I need some time to get things settled. Of course, Perodua had to deal with trigger happy dealers who leaked details of the new Perodua Aruz 7 Seater SUV until they had to announce details on it mid-last week!
