The head of MIROS, Professor Dr Wong Shaw Voon told FreeMalaysiaToday, “We haven’t received any complaints, but we’ll look into Perodua’s claims.” In the wake of the fiasco that came to light last week, Perodua and UMW Toyota Motor issued separate statements, mentioning that the D74A Axia and AC100 Toyota Vios won’t be recalled and sales of both models will continue

However, recent reports have speculated that the 1.2-litre engine could be replaced for the next gen

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.

Perodua has just announced that its most popular models have taken the top 3 positions as Malaysia’s best-selling cars of 2020 so far.

Compact cars has been the staple vehicle of choice for Malaysian, regardless of the economic situation. In the present day Malaysia, vehicles like the Perodua Bezza and Axia has been the go-to choice especially for e-hailing drivers and first-time owners.
