The Active has an 8-inch floating touchscreen with voice command, online navigation, music streaming, 4G/WiFi and smartphone connectivity, but no Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. Climate control is manual single-zone with a digital display and voice control. Front and rear parking sensors plus a reversing camera with guidelines are fitted. There is no cruise control, automatic emergency braking, blind-spot warning or lane-keep assist.
Boot space is 215 litres with the rear seats up. The 60:40 split-folding rear seats free up extra room for longer items.
The cabin uses semi-leather seats with red Active embroidery and stitching plus red seatbelts for a sporty look. Front seats are manual-adjustable with decent thigh and side support. A soft-touch front armrest with storage sits above the new centre console that holds three cupholders. Manual single-zone air-conditioning has a digital display and N95 filter. An 8-inch floating touchscreen with voice command, online navigation and six USB ports completes the modern feel. Black headlining and red accents keep the space lively without feeling basic.

The 1.6-litre engine and CVT return an official NEDC figure of 7.0 L/100 km. Real-world mixed driving sits around 7.5-8.1 L/100 km. The 40-litre tank gives a practical range for daily use. An Eco mode switch helps stretch fuel further on light-throttle runs.
Service intervals are set at 10,000 km or six months after the first 1,000 km oil change. Three free labour services come with the car. A five-year or 150,000 km warranty covers the powertrain. Routine costs stay modest thanks to common Campro parts.
Safety kit is strong for the class. Six SRS airbags, electronic stability control, traction control, hill-hold assist, ABS with EBD and brake assist are standard. A reverse camera and front/rear parking sensors aid low-speed manoeuvres. ISOFIX anchors sit on the outer rear seats. The car scored five stars in ASEAN NCAP under the 2017-2020 protocol.
Living with the Iriz Active is straightforward. Semi-leather seats wipe clean easily and the well-sorted suspension soaks up broken roads without fuss. The revised CVT and Eco mode make daily commuting less tiring. Keep to the service schedule and the car remains cheap to run.
