Internationally, the Perodua Axia/Daihatsu Ayla/Toyota Agya is sold as the Toyota Wigo and Vietnam is the first left-hand-drive (LHD) market that sees the debut of the all-new generation. The all-new Wigo is offered in Vietnam with only the 1.2-litre engine and comes in two variants: Wigo E MT – VND 360 million (~RM 70.5k) Wigo G CVT – VND 405 million (~RM 79k) You might be shocked at those prices considering how the Axia/Agya/Ayla triplets are essentially entry-level cars but Vietnam has a pret

Perodua launched the D74A 2023 Perodua Axia last month, with prices ranging between RM 38,600 to RM 49,500. Not only has prices gone up, but its dimensions have also increased by a fair bit. With its increase in size that now inches closer to the Perodua Myvi, can the D74A Perodua Axia be considered an A-segment model? Let’s take a closer look. When the first-generation Perodua Axia was launched back in 2014, it was clear that the Axia was positioned as Perodua’s entry-level model, down to its d

Just moments ago, Toyota debuted the all-new 2023 Toyota Agya in Indonesia. The Toyota Agya, alongside the soon-to-be launched Daihatsu Ayla are the Indonesian twins of our Perodua Axia. Similar to our D74A Perodua Axia, the all-new Toyota Agya and Daihatsu Ayla are developed on the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) and are the smallest models to be developed on that modular platform. While our D74A Axia is offered with a carried-over naturally-aspirated 1.0-litre 1KR-VE 3-cylinder petrol

With the current economic downturn, not everyone has the financial capabilities to splurge on an expensive new car. Setting aside a budget of around RM 30,000, the logical choice is a brand-new Perodua Axia – a fuss-free little hatchback that is also relatively easy on the pocket. But, for the same RM 30k budget, there is another interesting proposition, in the form of a used Proton Suprima S. Used Proton Suprima S – If you want something sophisticated, but.. After all, when it comes to the Supr

In the recent years, we have welcomed some new three-cylinder engine cars to the world – the Nissan Almera 1.0 turbo, Honda City 1.0 turbo (Thailand), Proton X50, and more excitingly, the Toyota GR Yaris. Even Christian von Koenigsegg has channelled his genius into developing a 600 HP three-cylinder engine. With these developments however, some of us still remain very sceptical of them. We will never forget the underpowered three pots in tiny cars like the Perodua Kancil and Perodua Kelisa. Sure

Considering that the Perodua Axia is already the most affordable car in Malaysia, is there a reason why you should buy the Axia second-hand? The Perodua Axia is well-known for being the entry-level car to get. At its debut, it comfortably succeeded its predecessors the Perodua Viva and Perodua Kancil without preamble thanks to the many built-in features that seem to cater to most Malaysian's needs. Yes, if ever there is an “all-Malaysian-car” it would be the Axia as Perodua has done a good job i
