KUALA LUMPUR, 14 Feb 2023 – Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) has launched its latest full model change, the All-New Perodua Axia.
In a statement today, Perodua said that the 1.0 litre D-CVT (Dual-Mode CVT) All-New Perodua Axia comes in four variants G, X, SE, and AV. With this powertrain (engine and transmission) fuel consumption can potentially reach up to 27.4 km/l with the Eco Idle auto start-stop system. This performance is based in the Malaysian Driving Cycle (MDC), which follows local road conditions and driving patterns.
Priced at between RM38,600 for the G entry level variant and RM49,500 the top range AV variant, the All-New Axia offers a variety of choices for Malaysians to choose from.
“With the All New Perodua Axia launched, our focus (for this new model) are twofold, the first is maximising deliveries to our customers and to convert previous generation Axia bookings to the All-New Axia,” Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer, Dato’ Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said.
According to him, of the 44,000 existing orders, Perodua was able to convince 13,600 of its customers to convert to the latest model and coupled with over new 6,500 bookings (since 31 January 2023) – the compact car company has a combine orders of 20,100 units.
Perodua said an estimated 2,900 customers will receive their brand new Axias soon.
“We are thankful and encouraged by the support our valued customers have shown us – for this new model as well as for all our products and services,” Zainal Abidin said.
“Our 314,000 registration and 330,000 production targets for this year reflect our commitment to ensure that your bookings and trust will be delivered in the best possible time without compromising on quality,” he said.
He added that the All New Perodua Axia has a sales target of 5,700 units a month, and to meet this sales target, the compact car company has set the model’s annual production target of over 82,000 units.
The All-New Perodua Axia comes in five colours – Granite Grey, Lava Red, Glittering Silver, Ivory White (solid) and Coral Blue (new).
“The value-added features (when compared with the previous generation Axia model) are worlds apart as the All-New model refines all aspects of comfort, space, safety, size and aesthetics,” he said.
“We encourage Malaysians to visit our 192 authorised sales outlets to see and test drive the All-New Perodua Axia beginning today,” he added.
