Perodua has officially commenced exports of its latest compact SUV, the Perodua Traz, alongside its best-selling multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), the Perodua Alza, to Sri Lanka.
Perodua is expanding its range of exported products to include the new Traz and the Alza. The arrival of both models reinforces Sri Lanka’s position as one of the Malaysian automaker’s largest and most consistent international markets. Since Perodua first entered the island nation in 1997, cumulative sales have surpassed 20,000 units and they’ve helped the staff there through tough times.
Distribution in Sri Lanka is managed through Unimo Enterprises Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of United Motors Lanka PLC.
CBU Export Network and Pre-Owned Market Expansion
Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad stated that the brand continues to actively export Completely Built-Up (CBU) models across six international destinations:
- Active CBU Export Markets: Sri Lanka, Brunei, Fiji, Mauritius, Bangladesh, and Papua New Guinea.
- Pre-Owned Vehicle Expansion: Beyond new CBU exports, Perodua has expanded its commercial reach to export Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles (POV), officially entering Timor-Leste this year.
Sri Lankan Pricing and High Taxation Structure
To mark the arrival of the new models, a special introductory promotion is being offered to the first 50 customers in Sri Lanka:
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| PERODUA INTRODUCTORY RETAIL PRICING (SRI LANKA) |
+------------------------------------+----------------------------+---------------------+
| Vehicle Model | Price in Sri Lankan Rupees | Equivalent (MYR)* |
+------------------------------------+----------------------------+---------------------+
| Perodua Traz (With Body Kit) | Rs. 19,950,000 | RM 243,090.00 |
| Perodua Traz (Without Body Kit) | Rs. 19,200,000 | RM 233,957.23 |
| Perodua Alza MPV | Rs. 19,950,000 | RM 243,090.00 |
+------------------------------------+----------------------------+---------------------+
(Note: All retail figures are inclusive of local Value Added Tax [VAT]).
While local retail prices appear significantly higher than domestic Malaysian pricing, the figures reflect Sri Lanka’s steep taxation system on fully imported CBU vehicles, which incorporates compounding customs duties, engine-capacity excise taxes, and luxury levies.
Group Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of United Motors Lanka PLC, Mr. Chanaka Yatawara, highlighted that since Sri Lanka lifted vehicle import restrictions in 2025, the group has delivered nearly 3,000 Perodua vehicles, demonstrating strong ongoing consumer demand.
Model Highlights and Malaysian Sales Context
First introduced in December 2025 under the design ethos of “Engineered Simplicity”, the Perodua Traz was developed as Perodua’s most user-friendly compact SUV tailored to daily commuting needs.
Meanwhile, the second-generation Perodua Alza continues to dominate domestic sales charts. According to official registration data from the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA), the seven-seater MPV recorded 19,504 new unit registrations in Malaysia between January and June 2026 alone.
