As parent company Toyota is making strides in its electrification efforts in Indonesia with the launch of the Yaris Cross Hybrid, Innova Zenix Hybrid, and bZ4X, Daihatsu seems to be following suit albeit within the next 2 years. At a recent event to celebrate the 8 millionth Daihatsu produced in the country, Indonesia’s Minister of Industry, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita said in a speech that the D brand should launch an electrified model by 2025. “The government encourages PT Astra Daihatsu Motor

This week, our part of the world scored a triple whammy of new cars: Indonesia kicked things off with the all-new 2023 Toyota Agya, then Malaysia launched the 2023 D74A Perodua Axia, before passing the baton back to Indonesia for the unveiling of the 2023 Daihatsu Ayla. Inseperable as the trio are, the three of them are all-new models, sharing the same Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform, general look, and some performance metrics – how do they stack up? Exterior: Same-same but diff

Since its introduction back in 2014, the Perodua Axia has been Perodua's bread and butter model. It succeeds the Perodua Viva as the second national carmaker's most affordable model.

No such thing as a cheap EV? Well, Malaysian start-up EV Innovations might beg to differ with their Perodua Axia Electric concept, now on display at the ongoing EVM Asia 2022 expo. Though based on an Axia, the concept has no official relation to Perodua. The Axia Electric is the latest version (3.0) of the company’s retrofit packages which started with MyKar 1.0 back in 2020, which you might remember was a peculiar composite-bodied prototype with a janky interior, based on a second-generation (G

That the phrase 'slow car fast' being one of our favourites is not in question – and this 2022 Toyota Agya GR Sport (aka our Perodua Axia twin) in full racing garb has only cemented our affections. Built for the Indonesia Sentul Series of Motorsport (ISSOM) 2022 race calendar, this spunky hatch competes for the Toyota Gazoo Racing Indonesia (TGRI) team in the Indonesian Touring Car Race (ITCR) 1200 National Championship class.

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
