The Perodua Aruz, launched back in 2019 – and updated in 2021 – looks to be getting a new colour soon. Perodua posted a teaser of a new black colour for one of its models, and even though the image is darkened quite a bit, it’s quite obvious the model pictured is the Aruz.
When the Aruz was updated in 2021, it was offered with a new Passion Red colour, integrated side steps, and even automatic door-locking. The integrated side steps are standard for both the X and AV variants of the Aruz, though the new Passion Red metallic colour – which effectively replaces the previous flagship Amazon Green shade – is only reserved for the higher-end AV model.
With that in mind, it will be interesting to see if the new black colour option will replace the Passion Red paint job.
Beyond that, we expect the Aruz to soldier on with the same list of equipment. Under the hood of the SUV is a 1.5L NA four-cylinder engine that outputs 102PS and 133Nm of torque. Paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, the car has a rated fuel efficiency of up to 15.6km/L.
Other standard equipment of the Aruz include six airbags with Vehicle Stability Contol (VSC), LED headlamps, as well as 17-inch alloy wheels. The higher-end AV model, on the other hand, gets Perodua’s Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) 2.0 suite of driver assistance systems, leather seats, auto headlamps, and even an integrated dash cam.




Currently, the Perodua Aruz is priced at RM72,900 and RM77,900 for the X and AV models respectively. Chances are, there won’t be any price revision once the Aruz Black Edition is launched; we’ll be sure to keep a close eye for any relevant updates.
