A New Chapter Begins: The Perodua Traz Arrives in Papua New Guinea
Perodua PNG officially unveils its newest SUV, bringing together modern design, advanced safety, outstanding efficiency and everyday practicality.
PORT MORESBY, PAPUA NEW GUINEA | 13 AUGUST 2026
A new chapter in Perodua’s journey in Papua New Guinea has begun.
Perodua (PNG) Limited officially unveiled the all-new Perodua Traz at its Port Moresby showroom on 13 August 2026, introducing a new-generation SUV designed for people who want more from everyday mobility — more space, more confidence, more technology and greater efficiency.
The launch represents another important milestone for Perodua PNG as it continues to strengthen its presence in the country and expand the choices available to Papua New Guinean motorists.
Significantly, Papua New Guinea became only the second overseas market after Sri Lanka to introduce the Perodua Traz, demonstrating the importance of PNG as part of Perodua’s growing international presence.
For Perodua PNG, the Traz is more than simply another vehicle added to the showroom.
It represents a fresh approach to what an everyday SUV can be.
Designed Around What Matters
Papua New Guineans have a natural appreciation for SUVs.
The higher driving position, greater space, confident road presence and versatility make SUVs an attractive choice for families, professionals and businesses alike.
The Perodua Traz brings these qualities together in a package designed to remain practical and economical for everyday ownership.
As Perodua PNG CEO Ben Wong shared during the launch:
“It’s an SUV that does not ask you to compromise all the things that matter every day.”
That philosophy can be seen throughout the Traz.
Its bold and contemporary exterior creates the confident stance expected from an SUV, while its intelligently designed five-seat cabin provides the comfort and flexibility needed for everyday driving.
Whether navigating Port Moresby during the working week, carrying the family, meeting clients or heading out for the weekend, the Traz has been created to comfortably move between different parts of everyday life.
SUV Presence. Remarkable Efficiency.
Under the bonnet is a 1.5-litre engine paired with Perodua’s D-CVT transmission, delivering smooth and efficient performance suited to daily driving.
One of the Traz’s strongest advantages is its fuel efficiency.
With official fuel consumption of up to 21.3 km/L under MDC testing — equivalent to approximately 4.7 litres per 100 kilometres — the Traz demonstrates that drivers do not necessarily have to choose between the presence of an SUV and economical everyday motoring.
For customers conscious of increasing running costs, that efficiency can make a meaningful difference over the life of the vehicle.
The Traz also offers 210 mm of ground clearance together with a generous 471 litres of luggage capacity, giving owners the flexibility to carry passengers, shopping, work equipment or weekend luggage while maintaining the manoeuvrability of a practical urban SUV.
Confidence Comes Standard
Modern mobility is not only about how a vehicle looks or how efficiently it moves. It is also about how confidently it protects the people inside.
The Perodua Traz has achieved a 5-Star ASEAN NCAP safety rating and comes equipped with six airbags, Vehicle Stability Control, Hill Hold System and Perodua’s Advanced Safety Assist technologies.
Its suite of driver-assistance features includes technologies designed to help the driver identify potential hazards, remain aware of surrounding traffic and make everyday journeys easier and safer.
Inside, the experience is equally modern.
A 9-inch multimedia display, rear air-conditioning vents, multiple USB charging points, push-start functionality and other convenience features help make the Traz a vehicle designed around the way people live today.
Selected variants also introduce additional conveniences including a panoramic view monitor and power back door with motion sensing.
Made for Everyday Possibilities
Since entering Papua New Guinea, Perodua PNG has focused on a simple objective: to provide customers with vehicles that deliver genuine value without sacrificing quality, safety or modern features.
The arrival of the Traz takes that commitment another step forward.
It brings together the qualities many PNG customers are looking for in one vehicle — SUV styling, generous space, excellent fuel efficiency, modern technology, advanced safety and accessible everyday ownership.
It is equally at home as a family vehicle, a professional’s daily drive or a practical addition to a business fleet.
Most importantly, it has been designed around real life.
The daily commute.
The school run.
The business meeting.
The shopping trip.
The weekend away.
And everything in between.
The Next Journey Starts Here
The launch of the Perodua Traz is not simply about introducing a new SUV.
It is about giving Papua New Guineans another choice in how they move — a vehicle that combines confidence with efficiency, technology with simplicity, and modern SUV presence with everyday practicality.
For Perodua PNG, it also represents another exciting step forward as the brand continues to grow alongside its customers in Papua New Guinea.
The all-new Perodua Traz is now available at Perodua PNG.
