Perodua Traz Registers 1,901 Units, Meets Monthly Production Target
Perodua registered 1,901 units of the Traz last month, effectively meeting its 1,900-unit monthly production target. The figure indicates that the newly launched SUV is currently performing in line with the company’s planned output. Prior to this, 393 units were registered in December, following its mid-December launch, bringing the total registrations to 2,294 units to date. However, the 1,901-unit figure may reflect production limitations rather than actual market demand. Perodua has yet to disclose official booking numbers, making it difficult to accurately gauge true demand levels. Industry observers suggest that actual demand could exceed 1,900 units per month, but output may currently be capped by the existing production schedule. February’s numbers will provide a clearer indication of market response — a figure below 1,900 units could signal softening demand, while a higher number may suggest that Perodua has adjusted production upward to meet stronger-than-expected demand, although such adjustments typically take time to implement.
Positioned strategically within Perodua’s SUV lineup, the Traz is larger than the Ativa but smaller than the Aruz, placing it in the heart of the compact SUV segment. It is also regarded as the twin model to the Toyota Yaris Cross, sharing similar underpinnings and powertrain components. The Traz is offered in two variants: the X priced at RM76,000 and the H priced at RM82,000. Both variants are powered by a 1.5-litre 2NR-VE Dual VVT-i engine, producing 106 PS and 138 Nm of torque, paired with a CVT transmission. With competitive pricing and a strong market position, the Traz appears poised to become a key contender in Malaysia’s compact SUV segment, pending further confirmation from upcoming registration figures.
