Perodua filed the trademark ‘Axia’ with the Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO) in February this year. Today, we’ve managed to dig up two other names that Perodua filed at the end of May – Eliana and Atrivia. Both names were filed under the same classes as the Axia trademark – class 12 and class 37, which are generally car-related. So now we have three possible names for Perodua’s upcoming hatchback.
When the Axia name was unearthed, Perodua president and CEO Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh said it was not the only name submitted, and that Perodua had not decided on a name for now. He added that more details on the new car would be announced sometime in the second half of this year. However, these two names were filed towards the end of May, which is a few weeks after that.
The new hatchback is referred to as the “Global Energy Efficient Vehicle” for now. It will be built at a new Perodua plant next to the current one. The new plant will mirror Daihatsu Kyushu’s best practices, technology and low defect rate – we’ve detailed some of those in a visit to DKC’s Nakatsu Plant 2 last year.
The car’s upper body design will be an in-house design by Perodua using a Daihatsu platform, which could most likely be the Daihatsu Ayla’s. We’ve already seen the Daihatsu Ayla running around Malaysian roads without badges or trade plates. Perodua also showcased the car’s interior last year at KLIMS13 in the form of the Perodua GMA Space concept. GMA stands for Global Model A Segment Space.

How about Elia? or Ellaria? Any Game of Thrones Fans here?
I am sorry to tell you Perodua guys that now Mahathir is in Proton, life is going to get very difficult for you guys. Be prepared for the worst.
Mamak will do everything he can to squeeze the government for every single cent to boost up Proton, ie like get more exemptions etc.
Oh yeah, though not official, Proton does get special privileges and special excise customs exemptions. Though it is not written and not official, Proton does not really pay lots of things Perodua pays lah. You know and I know.
Nobody can track. Nobody can check what Kastam receives from who or for what. There is no payment trail.
I advice Perodua to get Badawi or Samy Vellu as your Chairman too. Then maybe can level the field.
If without Mahathir, Perodua won’t be born.
You should thanks him now.
Yupe, if without him, we can direct get the toyota cars at current perodua car price!!!
Oh My! What English!
When TDM approved P2, he thought that P2 only produce 660CC cars and will play 2nd fiddle to Proton, unfortunately for him, he was wrong! He certainly has the power to right the wrong he has done even if he is no more the P.M. today.
bla bla bla bla bla bla..
at least he’s doing something for the country rather than you…hopeless
Why not Oberyn?
please don’t mention that name again :(
poor him…
Perodua basher will seek this chance to bash on Perodua R&D again. Because
1. Perodua is much more reliable than Proton.
2. Perodua is much more fuel saving than Proton.
3. Perodua is cheaper than Proton.
4. Perodua is roughly same comfort as Proton.
They can only bash on R&D. But who care???
People want a reliable, problem-free car? Or a self-developed car which full of problems, and requires you to make good friend with garage?
Simple answer!
I have no idea why you seek this kind of attention, but good luck.
Yep.. that’s right.
Hah, when people give honest opinion you call it bash?
No wonder you live in your own world.
Yay! A car with my name on it!
how about Perodua Bihun cap Masjid?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliana
Eliana, אֶלִיעַנָה (Hebrew), Ηλιάνα (Greek), إليانا (Arabic), is a female given name found with that spelling in Italian, Portuguese and Spanish.
Yah, those lovely latinas (Elianas, Illianas)hot,hot,hot..
stupid name ..
Why not use my name, Iguana
Perodua Abuden is ok
What with all the Sissy names.. puihh I don’t like it.. Axia is fine then.
Well. I think its better than suprima or gen2 haha
Proton should register name “Huduh” also.
1. People just don’t read properly anymore. Perodua or Proton can’t even differentiate?
2. Perfect example of bashing away for no good reason.
Both name sucks!!!
so we all already know that the car is a girl..pff..cant you find a man enough name like suproma or inspira?come on produa..think!
Who the heck cares what name it has.. Its just gonna be a rebadged car from another brand anyway. People will still buy it even if its called ‘Ikan’ simply becoz they don’t have much choice when it comes to cheap car..
Many sources derive it from Hebrew, literally translated as “My God has answered me.” It is composed of three Hebrew elements: EL, meaning GOD; ANA, meaning ANSWERED; and the Yud, located after EL, indicating first person possession.

Inb4 paranoid people associating this car with ‘Yahudi’. Lol
another proton in the making..enough with new names..unless new model ok la
Proton or Perodua bro? Baca betul2 lain kali ya…
btol la..ke ko xreti bahasa?
btol la..ke ko xreti bahasa?
Why must local car names usually ends with the alphabet ‘A’?
Viva, Alza, Axia, Atrivia, Eliana.. (drama name from TV3 soap operas???)
For Proton, dont mention it bcoz so many of their model names ends with A except for Preve, Savvy & Gen2.
Another dumb name, just bring Kelisa or Kenari name back to live.
Agreed. Kelisa’s a great car. But it’s in the best interest of Perodua (alone) to stop producing Kelisa or it would definitely kill viva’s sales kaw2.
Great? It’s been crashed in Top Gear means it’s junk!
have you even compare the quality of both cars??please do not be a dumb before making any judgments..just try it out first..top gears always bashing cars,even bmw also have been considered as junk..
why no “Phobia”?? they shld name it Perodua Phobia.
nice… better than suprima lampin orang tua
Dun worry if your life is long enough you will wear it too.
This name came up just to cover line the Axia leak. Come on like we dont know this is a cheap trick. Doesnt sounds like a proper name for car at all.
better continue with the current name..
Atrivia and Eliana both sound weird, a bit too feminine in my opinion. Axis will do just fine.
Oops, Axia*
Im trying to give a damn…..naah,i tink i cant give a damn…..
Eliana is a girls name. Why would a car-maker choose a girl’s name for its car? Bad move. Do you think guys want to buy and drive in a car called “Fatimah”, or “Lisa”, or “Eliana”? Habis la macho…..haha….

Perodua car leh? Obviously Produa is mark up too much for the price. furthermore just re-badge why need to register Intellectual Property Corporation of Malaysia (MyIPO)? this car is not design or develop by Perodua just copycat/re-badge only,dont tell us just modify the bumper/front light/tail light is a great design and great invention? we should shame on Perodua
