The five-door hatchback now comes in four variants of G, X, SE and AV, priced at RM38,600, RM40,000 RM44,000 and RM49,500 respectively, enabling buyers to choose the best version to fit their budget and preferences.
The all-new Axia, now in its second generation, is built on the new platform that promises the vehicle with better handling, stability and drivability.
It has also grown in size, making it bigger compared with the previous generation model.
It has an overall length of 3,760mm and is 115mm longer than the older model.
The all-new Axia is also wider at 1,665mm (+45mm) and has a longer wheelbase at 2,525mm (+70mm) in comparison.
The Axia gets a sleek proportion and better aerodynamics.
With a longer wheelbase, rear passengers can enjoy more legroom.
To provide a sleek proportion and better aerodynamics, the new Axia gets a 5mm lower height at 1,505mm and a lower ground clearance of 150mm (-20mm).
The turning radius for the new Axia is also the same as the outgoing model at 4.5m to allow the same level of manoeuvrability in tight spaces, making city driving an effortless task.
While the 1.0-litre three-cylinder EEV engine (1KR-VE) with VVT-i technology delivering 50kW and 91Nm of torque is carried over from the previous generation Axia, the new model gets a dual mode continuously variable transmission (D-CVT) for smoother performance and enhanced fuel efficiency.
The powertrain of this Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) can deliver fuel efficiency of up to 27.4 km/l with the Eco Idle system.
The top-of-the-line Axia AV has the most stylish interior.
This performance is based on the Malaysian Driving Cycle (MDC) which follows local road conditions and driving patterns.
The all-new Axia also scores a commendable four-star rating under the ASEAN NCAP assessment.
On its list of safety features are up to six airbags in the AV’s case, Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) and Brake Assist (BA), Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), Traction Control (TRC), Emergency Stop Signal (ESS) and Hill-Start Assist (HSA) among others.
Also available exclusively for the top-of-the-line AV variant is Perodua Smart Drive Assist (PSDA) featuring Pre-Collision Warning, Pre-Collision Braking, Pedal Misoperation Control and Front Departure Alert.
Enhancing the AV variant’s offering of safety features are Lane Departure Warning, Lane Departure Prevention, Blind Spot Monitor, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Reverse Camera and Auto High Beam which are segment-leading.
The AV variant is also equipped with a more refined dashboard with bright metallic inserts against a dark interior, a 9-inch Display Audio and a 7-inch TFT Multi-Info Display instrument panel.
The front seats of the Axia AV are the semi-bucket type with semi-leather.
For a standout appearance and eye-catching looks, Granite Grey, Lava Red, Glittering Silver, Ivory White and the newly introduced Coral Blue are available.
The all-new Axia also comes with a five-year warranty with a 10,000km service interval and a nationwide network of service centres to provide aftersales care and peace of mind.
With these advanced features, it’s no wonder that the all-new Axia will continue the nameplate’s appeal, affordability and desirability as one of the nation’s best-selling vehicles.
Apart from the Axia, visitors can also view Perodua’s best-selling Aruz seven-seater sports utility vehicle at StarCarSifu Auto Show 2023 in Mid Valley Megamall, Kuala Lumpur from Aug 9 to 13.
