Aruz is powered by the same 2NR-VE Dual VVT-i 1.5 liter naturally aspirated four-cylinder engine as the Toyota Rush, but the Aruz's power is 3Ps and 3Nm lower than the Rush's. The maximum horsepower of it is 102PS (6000rpm), and the maximum torque is 133Nm (4200rpm).

This Dual VVT-i engine is equipped with a 4-speed automatic transmission. The fuel efficiency of Aruz is 15.6 kilometers per liter (6.4 liters per 100 kilometers).

Compared with competitors such as Honda BR-V, Proton Exora, and Mitsubishi Xpander, Aruz has a clear advantage in cost performance. Overall, Perodua Aruz is a practical SUV that can meet the needs of most families.
