KUALA LUMPUR: The Perodua Axia has bagged two awards at the annual Frost & Sullivan Malaysia Excellence Awards ceremony here on Wednesday.
The Axia was awarded the Value-for- Money Car of the Year Award (1.3L and below) based on affordability and fuel consumption efficiency that contribute to a better cost of ownership.
It also received the Car of the Year Award because it became the leading passenger vehicle model based on impressive growth of sales volume in 2014 and 2015, that led to the increment of market share within its own segment, and its overall impact on the total industry volume (TIV) for 2015.
“These two awards show we are committed in giving our customers the best quality, value for money and good driving experience,’’ Perodua president and CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said.
The Axia is the compact car maker’s first EEV (Energy Efficient Vehicle) which comes with four variants (Standard E, Standard G, SE & Advance); Perodua has sold about 154,103 units since it was launched in September 2014. It continues to receive favourable bookings to this day.
The awards were presented by Frost & Sullivan managing director for Malaysia & senior vice president for Asia Pacific Hazmi Yusof to Aminar.
