Perodua has launched the Traz and the Alza in Sri Lanka through Unimo Enterprises Limited, a fully owned subsidiary of United Motors Lanka PLC. This also marks the first time the Traz is available in an export market since its domestic introduction late last year.
As part of a special introductory offer for the first 50 customers, the Perodua Traz with a body kit is priced at Rs.19.950 million (approx. RM243k), while the variant without the body kit costs Rs.19.2 million (approx. RM234k). The Perodua Alza is offered at Rs.19.950 million (approx. RM243k). All models come with a five-year or 150,000 km manufacturer warranty.
The steep sticker price stems from Sri Lanka’s high taxation structure on imported vehicles. Landed cars face a heavily stacked compounding system comprising Customs Import Duty, an additional duty surcharge, engine capacity-based Excise Duty that can reach up to 300%, Luxury Tax, Value Added Tax (VAT), and the Social Security Contribution Levy (SSCL). Consequently, these levies frequently triple or quadruple the base import value of passenger vehicles.
The two models join the existing lineup of Axia, Bezza, Ativa, Myvi, and Aruz, completing the full range of Perodua vehicles available in the island nation.
To date, the second national brand stated that over 20,000 Perodua cars have been sold in Sri Lanka, with approximately 3,000 units delivered since the lifting of vehicle import restrictions in 2025.
Perodua serves its Sri Lankan customers through five showrooms, including primary locations in Hyde Park Corner, Kandy, and Kurunegala. This sales network is backed by ten after-sales service centres nationwide, ensuring owners have direct access to factory-trained technicians, routine maintenance, and genuine parts.

In Sri Lanka, the Perodua Traz features rear air-con vents and a powered tailgate with a kick sensor. It is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine making 106 hp and 138 Nm, paired to a D-CVT gearbox that drives the front wheels. This matches the units sold in Malaysia, with a claimed fuel consumption of 21.3 km/L according to the Malaysian Driving Cycle (MDC).
Safety systems for the Traz in Sri Lanka mirror Malaysian specifications. These include six airbags, vehicle stability control, autonomous emergency braking for city, inter-urban, and pedestrian scenarios, blind-spot detection, lane-departure warning, forward-collision warning, and lane-keep assist.
Likewise, the Perodua Alza sold in Sri Lanka retains its seven-seat interior, where boot space expands from 137 litres to 498 litres with the third row folded. It is also powered by a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated four-cylinder engine producing 105 hp and 138 Nm, paired to a D-CVT gearbox driving the front wheels. It returns a claimed fuel consumption of 22.0 km/L (MDC).
Safety features mirror the Alza sold in Malaysia, including six airbags, vehicle stability control, anti-lock braking, autonomous emergency braking, and front and rear seatbelt reminders. However, it remains unconfirmed if the Alza sold in Sri Lanka gets the full Advanced Safety Assist (ASA 3.0) suite, which includes adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality and lane-keep control.
