Daihatsu is embroiled in another safety compliance issue, this time encompassing a total of 64 models (including currently produced, developed, or discontinued) across its Japan and international markets. Yes, this also involves Toyota and Perodua cars sold in Malaysia. To surmise, this issue is seperate from what happened back in April (door lining irregularity) and May (side collision test irregularity). A recent investigation by an independent third-party committee revealed 174 new problems w

Perodua has 6 models in its line-up. The newer models are the new generation D27A Perodua Alza and D74A Perodua Axia, launched in July 2022 and February 2023 respectively.

Over the past few months however, things have improved as 9- to 13-month waitlists have averaged down to around 2 to 8 months now across all mod

Perodua is set to make the fourth quarter of this year (Q4 2023) its best ever, and the Rawang outfit is well on track to hit its 314,000 unit sales target this year – and an improved production efficiency is the major step they've taken to see it through. Advancements in its plants have seen the carmaker post 18.6 percent sales increase year-to-date in September 2023, which currently stands at 233,227 units. Rather unsurprisingly this comes off the back of a 18.7 percent improvement in manufact

Buoyed by strong and constant demand, Perodua customers must continue to be patient when buying a Perodua. Due to lingering issues related to semiconductor and supplier labour shortages, waiting periods still range between 2 months and up to 1 year depending on model and variant.
