Perodua could be bucking the trend with the arrival of the new-generation 2023 D74A Perodua Axia, as rumours from Indonesia are suggesting that Perodua could debut its A-segment hatchback ahead of Toyota and Daihatsu. According to Autonetmagz, the quiet-but-capable Malaysian manufacturer could be introducing the new-generation D74A Axia ahead of the equally-new Toyota Agya and Daihatsu Ayla, its Indonesian siblings that the current Axia is based on.

Econoboxes live to serve one sole master in the motoring manor; getting you from Point A to Point B above all else. Unlike other segments, the term ‘econobox’ itself is a portmanteau describing the fundamentals that comprise being economical from a maintenance as well as fuel efficiency standpoint and lacking design elements because that costs more money. In that respect, nothing beats the Perodua Axia. As the most affordable car in the country, it had to be fuss-free, easy on the wallet and get

By now, we know the all-new third-generation Isuzu D-Max packs quite a punch in its segment. Just how hard of a hit you might ask?

Evidently, that didn’t go as well as Proton had hoped, but I’ve always had a soft spot for the Proton Iriz. The biggest bugbear personally is the CVT despite the continuous updates. Has the 2022

Allow me to begin by saying this isn’t about condemning the 2019 Proton Saga facelift because I genuinely adore it. So much in fact, I have one sitting right at home. At under RM 40k, there are no other cars that pack quite as much value as the Proton Saga. It drives well, has decent refinement, and a bonus would be the touchscreen infotainment system that is slick to use. Proton Saga But after living with it for a good month, I’ve come to notice a few niggles with the car and these may not be i

Perodua has come a long way. In its early days, Perodua’s budget cars were good enough only for driving schools. Today, the Perodua Axia is no longer just something that you buy because you can’t afford anything better (of course, a part of that is still true), but it is something that even we will recommend simply because it’s the most logical and wisest purchase for anyone looking for a cheap and dependable first car.
