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. Launched alongside the Toyota Yaris Cross, the Cambodian-spec Toyota Wigo is only available with a single variant that is powered by the same naturally-aspirated 1.0-litre 3-cylinder engine from the Perodua Axia. The 68 PS/91 Nm engine is paired with a D-CVT automatic slushbox that drives th

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. Of the remaining 4 models, the Perodua Aruz – launched in January 2019 – and the Perodua Bezza – first launched in July 2016 and facelifted in January 2020 – are due for either a mid-lifecycle update or a full model change. Perodua has previously said that it has the capacity to launch one full model change and two ‘minor chan

The D74A generation 2023 Perodua Axia is now an automatic transmission-only model. All four variants of the new Axia are powered by the same 1.0-litre 3-cylinder naturally aspirated 1KR-VE engine paired to a D-CVT automatic transmission driving the front wheels. As a result, the starting price has also gone up, from the previous generation’s RM 24,090 for the 1.0E MT, to RM 38,600 for the new generation Axia 1.0G. Prices of the 2023 Perodua Axia are as below: Axia 1.0 G: RM 38,600 Axia 1.0 X: RM

Six years old - that's the age of the Perodua Axia. It doesn't feel like it, but the little A-segment hatchback has been trawling Malaysian streets since 2014. Which is why we think we could see its evolution sometime next year. Retrace the Axia's steps and you'll find that it has its roots in 2011's Daihatsu A-Concept, which premiered at the 2011 Indonesia International Motor Show (IIMS). The production version of the concept - Daihatsu Ayla - premiered at the 2012's IIMS and the car went on sa

It is no surprise that I am a strong believer of Android Auto – it encompasses everything you could possibly ask for in an infotainment system, including voice command, navigation, and music streaming. There's no need to fawn over the Proton X70's voice command, which we have to add, doesn't come with Android Auto or Apple CarPlay. With Android Auto, you use voice control to read/reply WhatsApp messages and enter a destination to Google Maps or Waze, as well as selecting your playlist on Spotify

Later this month, Perodua is expected to introduce a new Axia. The refreshed Axia line-up will also introduce a new Axia variant called Axia Style (to be priced at RM 38,890). Not much details is known about the Axia Style but we do know that it will have larger 15-inch wheels instead the standard car’s 14-inch. Rumour has it that the Axia Style will feature faux mini SUV-like styling details and a taller ride height. Perodua has yet to release any official pictures of the Axia Style yet so we c
