Sold outside of Indonesia and Malaysia as the Toyota Wigo, the next destination for the twin to the second generation Perodua Axia/Toyota Agya/Daihatsu Ayla after Vietnam is not the Philippines but Cambodia.

About a month ago, Perodua dropped some teasers of its upcoming 2019 Perodua Axia, indicating that the new model will be equipped with ASA 2.0 and VSC. Apart from the addition of these safety equipment, Perodua also announced an SUV-esque variant of the 2019 Axia called the Perodua Axia Style. Thanks to social media sources, we now have a good look of the upcoming Perodua Axia Style well before it is meant to be shown to the public.
