Perodua has just released a statement regarding a safety compliance issue that was discovered earlier this week. According to Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, "Daihatsu Co. Ltd issued a media statement on 28 April 2023 highlighting its “procedural irregularity” on the testing of four models, which include the new Perodua Axia." He added, "We wish to offer some background, insight and perspective on the nature of this announcement, especially in referen

It might seem like an avalanche of news and information about the all-new 2023 Perodua Axia D74A today and unfortunately that’s not slowing down any time soon. Perodua has reported that the new entry-level model in their line-up has already garnered 3,591 bookings as of today morning, much of it for the more premium variants. Previewed today to selected members of the media with a short drive thrown in; which you can read about here, the carmaker reported that the majority of the bookings were f

Normally when it comes to launches, Perodua would take a back seat compared to its Indo or Japanese twins from Toyota and Daihatsu.

In the early 2000s, the hardworking people at Perodua were scratching their heads trying to understand why sales of their oldest model, the Perodua Kancil was increasing. Isn’t that a good thing you ask? Well normally, you would expect demand for an ageing model to decline over time. However, between 1995 and 2002, sales of the Perodua Kancil grew by 56 percent, from 39,856 units to 62,279 units, outpacing the industry’s overall growth by 6 percent.

Some say to find out your affordability of cars, simply take your gross annual income figure. If you’re earning RM 2,500 per month, your annual income would be RM 30,000, and that would be the car price you’re able to afford.
