Perodua Alza
|
Proton Exora
|
The best aspect of Perodua Alza is the amount of space on the inside, especially in the front and second row. The seats are well supportive and wide enough to seat three people with ease in the second row, and thanks to the tall boy design, the headroom too is best-in-class.
The Perodua Alza comes with a slightly softer suspension, which is very helpful in making the overall ride quality very comfortable. Adding to more comfortable in-cabin experience, the cooling from AC vents in all the three rows is excellent as well.
The Perodua Alza has one unique feature of premium solar and security window film, something which is usually present only in high-end luxury cars. This feature tries to keep the interior cabin of the car quite cool, making this feature very handy, especially in peak summer conditions.
For a compact MUV of its size, the Proton Exora has brilliant levels of space and comfortable interiors. The seats do offer good support, whereas they also come with a variety of adjustments and configurations, which do make the Proton Exora very versatile and practical to use.
The roof-mounted AC vents for all the three rows of seats in Proton Exora is capable enough of cooling the entire cabin in a very short span of time. But that’s not all, as apart from the presence of AC vents in all the rows, the Proton Exora comes with a total of ten bottle holders for all passengers as well.
The Proton Exora does offer a warranty of 5 years or 1,50,000 kms (whichever comes earlier), which is easily the best in automobile industry right now. In addition to it, the vehicle also comes with a 5-year free labour service package, which aids in additional peace of mind to the customer.
The Perodua Alza focuses more on function over form, and while the overall styling is decent, it doesn’t feel eye-catching enough to generate interest among the audience towards the way it looks. The boxy looks do manage to maximise space on the inside, however, they also make the vehicle look a bit pale.
Just like the exterior design, even the interior cabin layout is very simple and fails to catch one’s fancy. The centrally positioned instrument console does make the cabin feel dated, and so is the steering wheel and central console design. Even the list of features is limited as well.
While the Perodua Alza impresses with the space in first and second rows, the boot space in the car is almost negligible. Even the third row of seats is best suited for small kids only, thanks to very low knee room.
At a time when MUVs are focusing a lot on the way they visually appeal to the people, the Proton Exora looks slightly dated. The aerodynamic frontal stance, as well as the presence of machined alloy wheels and daytime running LEDs, do try to make the Exora look youthful, however, the MUV looks boxy from side and rear.
The interior cabin of the Proton Exora is spacious and very comfortable, however, it does not feel as modern and contemporary as how it should have been. The dashboard looks basic and too simple, and the all-black theme further accentuates its boring appeal even more. Also, apart from a touchscreen infotainment system, there is no other premium feature which catches one’s fancy.
