Alza AT Reviews

Seven-seater MPV with spacious cabin suitable for families.

Built on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform, offering improved ride quality and better body control, especially over speed humps, giving a more refined driving experience.

Relatively quiet at highway speeds, enhancing comfort during long drives.

Equipped with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity for modern infotainment needs.

Strong safety credentials with a five-star ASEAN NCAP rating, including six airbags standard across all variants.

Comes with advanced safety features like ASA 3.0 (Advanced Safety Assist) which includes pre-collision warning, pre-collision braking, lane departure prevention/warning, front departure alert, and pedal misoperation control.

Brakes provide confident stopping power.

Engine noise can be loud under hard acceleration; some rubber band effect from the D-CVT transmission at hard acceleration is noticeable but manageable once cruising speed is reached.

The throttle response is very sensitive ("leaps" off the line), making smooth driving in stop-and-go traffic challenging and potentially annoying in daily urban use.

Lack of a convenient storage compartment in front of the gear shifter on top-spec AV variant; phone storage can be awkward as some phones do not fit well into available pockets.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) may brake abruptly when cars cut in front, making it less pleasant to use in heavy traffic conditions—better suited for highways with lighter traffic flow.

Lane Departure Warning and Lane Keep Assist can be intrusive or annoying during regular city driving.
