Finally today (Friday) 15th of August will be the day that Perodua announces Axia which will be open for booking at any of Perodua's 180 showrooms throughout Malaysia. After months of speculation, Perodua Axia will finally be unveiled to all Malaysians today. Those who are interested to be the proud owners of Perodua Axia can book yours for a booking fee of RM250 to RM300, depending on the variants. There will be 4 different variants (models) of Axia and will be sold at an attractive starting price of RM24,900. Sounds good aye?

So this is how Perodua Axia will look like? (Taken from Paultan.org)

Like I have mentioned earlier, there will be 4 different variants of Perodua Axia to be selected: They are Standard E, Standard G, Special Edition and Advance. For the base model of Axia Standard E that comes with solid paint, it will be aggressively priced at RM24,900. Now if you think that Axia will have a small boot like its predecessor, you will be happy to know that the car will have 260 litres of boot space, which Perodua claims is shaped to accommodate 4 travel bags. Not bad at all.

Ample Cabin Space of Perodua Axia

Axia sports a beautiful dashboard.

Axia's all aluminium engine!

Perodua Axia will be equipped by a brand-new 1KR three-cylinder engine, which is based on Daihatsu's 1KR-DE, which is being used in the Ayla in Indonesia. Axia's powerful 1.0 litre all-aluminium 12-valve DOHC engine will churn out 65 PS at 5,000 rpm and 87 Nm of torque at 3,600 rpm. Being an all-aluminium engine makes it so light that it tip the sales at just 69 kg, which is 10 kg lighter than the Viva's cast iron 1.0 litre engine. Lighter load means better fuel efficiency right.

Before I continue, there's a very good news for all Perodua Axia's buyers. Behold *drum roll*-All the new Perodua Axia will come with 5-year warranty, which is a first for a Perodua. I believe this is because Perodua has utmost confidence in their new Axia that they are willing to give 5 years of warranty. Now you have better peace of mind right?

By now I believe this is the official Perodua Axia right?

The back looks strikingly similar to Myvi.

Ok...before we sum it up and before you see the real Perodua Axia today (or later), have you ever wondered why it is called Perodua Axia? Apparently Perodua claims that it should be pronounced as 'A-zee-a' and it does ring a bell right? Axia sounds so similar to Asia for it is a play on the word Asia. Perodua believes that they are a regional player in Asia and hence they name their latest car as Axia. Now why X instead of S? You see the "X" actually represents number 10, as the Axia is Perodua's 10th model. Voila~now you know why Perodua Axia is known as Axia. :)

So are you ready for Perodua Axia?
