FactThe Alza’s name isn’t Malay at all — it comes straight from the Spanish verb "alzar," meaning "to rise."
The first-generation Perodua Alza, Perodua's first purpose-built MPV, was launched 23 November 2009 based on the Daihatsu Boon Luminas (also sold as the Toyota Passo Sette), and sold until 2022; the name comes from the Spanish 'alzar' ('to rise'), chosen through an internal staff competition. Front engine, front-wheel drive, mini-MPV body style.
