The RM 22,000 Perodua Axia is the cheapest new car currently on sale in Malaysia. With prices now slashed by RM 2,000, the updated Axia E is aimed at getting families of 3 or more riding dangerously on motorcycles off their two-wheelers and into a car. As a new car, the Axia E’s financing cost is also more favourable than a motorcycle, which typically carries a very high interest charge of around 10 percent or more.

At the sidelines of the all-new D74A 2023 Perodua Axia media preview happening now (blue words are links to our first look, early impressions), the national carmaker divulged their plans for hybrid models, and the Axia will be quite a foundational piece of the puzzle. Speaking to the press, Perodua's CEO, Dato' Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad shared that the latest Axia's Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform is capable of accepting a hybrid powertrain, though he stopped short of sharing furt

Well, that didn’t last long, didn’t it? The Proton Saga’s title as Malaysia’s best-selling car in April 2021 slipped away in May 2021 as Proton’s overall sales took a dip. Looks like the Perodua Myvi will be taking back its crown then. Proton managed to sell 9,440 units last month and these figures combined both domestic and export sales. It was a reduction of approximately 37.1% compared to April and the Malaysian Tiger had a market share of 20.3%. In the first five months of 2021, Proton sold

The Perodua Bezza is Perodua’s first attempt at developing a sedan. It is an A-segment sedan that competes directly against the Proton Saga. Developed from the ground-up using the Perodua Axia’s platform, the Perodua Bezza was launched in 2016 and received a facelift in 2020. Typical of Perodua’s slightly longer 6-to-7-year product lifespan, the next-generation Perodua Bezza isn’t expected to arrive until circa 2023.
