The Perodua Axia has been officially launched in Singapore recently by Perocom Auto, the official dealer of Perodua cars in the country. The introduction of the Axia in Singapore comes more than a year after the small hatchback was launched in its home country in September 2014. As for the price, there’s no point beating around the bush – it is SGD$75,888 or RM231,827.
For that money, you’ll be getting a Perodua Axia 1.0 Advance (AT), which is the range-topping variant in the Axia line-up. By comparison, the same variant will set you back RM41,967 (solid) or RM42,377 (metallic) in Malaysia (OTR with insurance). Power still comes from the company’s new all-aluminium 1KR-DE2 1.0 litre mill, with output rated at 66 hp at 6,000 rpm and 90 Nm at 3,600 rpm, mated to a four-speed auto.
The price listed is inclusive of Singapore’s Goods and Services Tax (GST) and Certificate of Entitlement (COE), which explains the ludicrous amount. However, each purchase includes a five-year/100,000 km warranty, plus a free five-year/100,000 km maintenance service.
Additionally, if you opt to register the car as an off peak car, the price tag can be offset by up to SGD$17,000 (RM51,925). Doing so will unfortunately forfeit your right to the COE rebate of SGD$40,000 (RM122,177).
After a bit of researching in Carbase.my, we discovered that for the price of a Perodua Axia in Singapore, you can purchase, in Malaysia, a brand-new Mazda MX-5, BMW 120i M Sport, Volvo S60 1.6 T4, Subaru WRX 2.0 CVT and even a Mercedes-Benz A 200.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
who need this in Singapore?!
Yay I drive a 230K Axis^^
Stupid people compare like this wthout comparing their pay. Normal government servant there earn about S$8000. That is RM27k. that is normal Government servants.
BMW 528i is S$200k. Malaysia BMW 528i is RM420k.
Where do you think it is cheaper for the residents to buy a luxurious car?
The Singapore Government Servant will pay off his car in 2 years if he uses all his pay to pay of the loan.
the Malaysian Government servant earning RM1500 and below will take 100 years to pay off the RM420k loan.
Wow. More dislikes than likes. Cybertroppers on overdrive? Thought they only surf the political blogs.
Knnccb limpeh country can afford, why u all care. I see no up Malaysial.
your problem lah who care? at least people know this is cheap car
i wonder if ppl in singapore start to curse the gov say nonsense about the country like how most of the stupid ppl here !!
and if any stupid will come and say “who need car in singapore , singapore got the best traffic system in the world bla bla bla” i tell you a car is a must for a family of 4, imagine you, your wife and your 2 kids, taking public transportation in the middle of the night in case of emergency or going to hospital, or you travelling from singapore to johor for example.. don’t you need a car ??
so please malaysians be grateful for what you have
it’s the new COE that made the car price shoot up so much. now the trend there is to rent-a-car whenever a need arises. that’s what we need to do to restrain car sales if we can foresee clearly how congested the road gonna be + air pollution, without one such measurement in place. i think the sing govt did a great job to overcome future issue before it’s too late.
Car landed cost + 150% tax + dealer margin + COE cost. The COE auction system is one that every govt in the world would love to have thought up. The govt collects lots of money but the blame is on car buyers for bidding up the price.
patriotic malaysians working in singapore..
Yeay!! Let’s move to Singapore!
Perodua RM231K? No worry! still have good RV what!
wait you’ll see some retards apply malaysian mentality on singapore situation
RM230,000 for Axia…..Singapore vehicle price is freaking scary
MAHALnya…tak mampu kawe nok beli..
Qu Sumbat…Qu Sumbat…BAru lah GOLLLL!!!!
For the love of god, if you wanna start currency conversion thing, take a look at the salary of their fresh graduates, then convert to MYR. By then, tell me if our Civics are affordable to them.
dollar to dollar @ SGD75K for an axia, it is still more expensive than malaysia.
good for P2, go and slaughter those kiasu singaporeans!
you do know that there are other better choices right? the only losers here are perodua!
true, dollar for dollar a compact car is not worth 75k
You do know that not all SGD75k goes to P2 right? COE for classA alone is already SGD45k based on Jan16 result.
What are you smoking Bryan…. nobody is going to buy the car in the first place..
Those who could afford a car in SG, will not buy this..
if the axia is the only car that you can afford in SG, then you probably shouldnt be thinking about owning a car.
just in case you didnt know, the downpayment for car is minimum 50%, and loan tenure a max of 5 years.
at slightly higher price bracket of 80-85k, you can pick a decent hyundai accent 4d/5d, hyundai elantra, kia forte K3, and if you stretch it a bit further to below 90k, you can choose between a Mazda 3, or Daihatsu Copen, or Honda Grace(City Hybrid), Honda Fit, Chevrolet Cruze..
now tell me again, why would you want to buy the axia?
Is that true? I wish malaysia also can implement this 50% minimum & 5 years max..
for the love of god fresh grads in singapore earn 2-3+k sgd. go figure. so called govt subsidised housing there (hdbs) can still run into the millions. its by far the most expensive city in the world. how i know? i studied and stay there.
Bro, COA already cost 40k SGD.
you really think all money masuk pocket of Perodua?
the winner still the SG GOV
Well, in MY all the taxes are included so you are going to loan total.. even its hard to get 10% downpayment but still lot people can buy a car.. in SG, COE have to pay cash.. imagine if Najib wanna implement COE.. For sure all jaws drop.. wtf???
Blame it on the very strong SGD
I wonder who in Singapore would be dumb enough to buy this?
Owning a car can be consider rich in SG.. not like MY leh..
The exchange rate is truly an eye sore!!
you only need BMW in Singapore
B- Bus M- Monorail W- walking
M for MRT actually.
Better take Mrt..efficient and convenience..if staying in S’pore..why need this car cost 75K..crazy!!
Now that should make us Malaysians feel better isn’t it?
If goes on sales in Thailand, will make us feel bad again.
Sounds like gomen pay paultan to write like this!
No it shouldnt. Because in life, you always compare with something which is better so that you strife towards this betterment. If we keep comparing with countries that are worse off than us and say to ourselves “see…we are not that bad” then we will never progress and move forward. And soon, one day, we will find ourselves at the bottom with no one else worse off to compare with.
seriously, you have same logic as najib. if we want to move forward, we should looking for county with better car policy, like usa which have high safety standards(they kick lotus, trv and other which not complie to they safety standards), give rebate to hybrid and tax higher for car that use more fuel like Lamborghini and dodge challenger
The main thing is that you cannot ignore the drop of the RM value against SGD. The worse our RM, the higher it is for the the comparative costs in SGD.
Also, don’t forget the fact the Singapore Govt is doing so much to discourage Singaporeans to own cars, their roads would not cope if cars were cheap to own in SG. But luckily for Singaporeans, their public transportation is light years ahead of whatever you find in Malaysia.
Holy Moly. 231k for this piece of crap.
70k sgd is nothing for singaporean.The problem is you cant even buy COE, you need to BID ! Summore SG average income per capita of 50k usd. Malaysia ? only 10k usd. HAHA. Msian buy one axia need loan 7 years ? You serious ?
Singapore Axia 1.0 Advance = Malaysia New BMW 318i Luxury + RM22000..
I wonder if Singapore BMW 318i = ??
Perodua Axia: Good reliability & fuel consumption.
Proton Iriz: Good safety rating.
I hope these two features can be combined to make a perfect national car to go international.
Produa Axiz sound good…
Just slightly higher price than some of Chery cars
There is a limit to P2’s ego and delusion but this really takes the cake.
OTOH, Sing pipu is saying we shud bersyukur for the car prices here yet we want to be like them. How ironic!
No doubt Singapore has got excellent public transport but many still buy cars in even if they only use it on weekends and to go shopping in JB. Just for comparison, Hyundai Elantra price is S$92K (which is like RM285K), depending on monthly COE price fluctuations
What if you buy an Axia in JB and take the car back to SG? Cheaper?
iirc, any Malaysian who got SG PR status CANNOT bring their Malaysian-registered vehicle to Singapore…
Yes, by looking only at the price(dollar to dollar), it is very expensive to own any cars in SGP. But remember, their land are small enough to have a very efficient and effective public transport coverage until a point that private vehicle is not a necessary item for their residents. We are way too far from reaching this, or even the other side.
Singaporeans are not foolish to buy a Perodua.
If I stay in Spore I will use the SGD75k+ to take taxi. Would the taxi cost SGD75+ for your whole life? In Singapore you could do this cos the taxi fares is still reasonable charging but not here.
wow… that kinda price still apply to Perodua.. good job!
Perodua has gone mad.
as a whole country smaller than the size of melaka, singapore can afford to have a very efficient public transport (imagine if it has a land the size of borneo – the public transport will sure be just as rubbish).
just use the buses or MRT (and even uber) and buy this with red plate. just for off peak usage. or everyday use in malaysia.
or…
get a picanto 6 speed 6 airbags.
a domino pizza delivery boy earns about SGD1.3k or almost RM5k once you convert to our money.
a bus captain (or driver) earns up to sgd2.5k a month. 7-8k in ringgit.
Actually, if you go visit Singapore, you’ll see how much cleaner it is, safer, developed, organized, etc etc compared to Malaysia. It truly is like another country with night/day difference compared to here. Reason being, high taxes and charges like these actually GO BACK to the rakyat. Unlike here, where it goes….. somewhere else. Personally for me, I wouldn’t mind paying high taxes like these if I actually get to see and experience the re-investments.
Ini semua salah LSL. SG pipu shud demo, protest, Bersih against their Gov. But then they wud worry LSL send his Leopard2 to lenyek all of them.
U apa jua pun demo/protest…tahi betul
well when u have a country that is as small as a district, piece of cake, Malaysia would probably be better than Singapore if they only have a country as small as Singapore to run.
That’s the typical excuse used by politicians. We DO have places smaller than Singapore ie. Langkawi, Pangkor, etc. but STILL very backward, dirty, impolite, etc. Wheredid the money go? It is not the size, but the people governing the place.
Gerard, why rub salt into our wounds?! sob! sob!
Hey S$75k is cheap, Altis 1.6E costs S$103k (this week, 13 Jan 2016 only)
Don’t worry, the POS Axia will be so cheap that zero is sold LOL. Just like Proton sold a grand total of ZERO cars in SG for the whole 2015.
Being a Proton Salesman is great in SG, everyday go work and sleep…
Some so called test drive report here… the reporter was showing great restraint not to curse and swear at the junk car
http://www.sgcarmart.com/news/review.php?AID=941
The reason why cars are expensive in Spore is bcos they already have one of the most efficient transportation system.
No reason to own one.
GDP per capita SIN = USD 56K
For Msia. ……………. ..= USD 11K
So what is S$75k to an average joe
compared to an average Msian.
No, the main reason is to curb private cars usage. The island just cannot cope since 25 yrs ago. The COE was created to control the number of vehicles on the road.
Vietnam is doing the same thing not because of land size but the infrastructure is not ready yet. So a corolla there sells at Camry price.
:)
Oh wow…of course they can afford that…cleaners were paid minimum of SGD 1000…
http://www.payday.com.sg/Payroll-Legislations/singapore-s-government-sets-a-minimum-salary-of-s-1-000-for-cleaners-entry-level.html
high price due to government taxes,car makers would not be making huge profit, that is how they control numbers of car on the road, not much land to spare for cars,of course tax is really really high there.
we malaysian are very fortunate here….God bless malaysia!
Good luck Singaporeans!
and the engine is not even had variable valve timing!!…hahaha
singaporean wont bother to buy this, even to look at. better buy bmw, porsche, audi, mers scrap car. very cheap but get branded car. masuk jb pun nobody knows its a scrap car, sg plate no maa. but we in malaysia, scrap car ..read: recond, harga mahal.
hahaha
i thought it was a typo…so is really RM230k
singaporean arent dumb. They can easily going to JB and rent an axia for much cheaper price
rent and do what? they cant drive foreign registered cars into Singapore
If you look at it as a foreigner, it will seem expensive. Like how we look like fools to the Europeans for paying so much for the BMWs and Mercs. But this doesn’t stop us from buying, does it? For the Singaporean, this is still among the cheapest cars in the market.
How about comparing on the high end side of the market, BM 5 series for instance.
Anyway it is not surprising as in the world, Spore is no 1, while M’sia is no 2 on most ridiculous car price.
Singapore govt very clean, no corruption and cronyism.
But why price so high?
Because money to pay for the salaries of the highest paid ministers in the world must come from somewhere.
They dun have corruption and cronism cuz it has been legalised for PAP Gov servants
why the car so cheap there compare to malaysia???
and there we goes again.. after reading so many comments here I forgot that this is an automotive website after all
Even more surprising is that someone actually bought one in Singapore ! I’m totally serious !
Perodua has also exported the Axia to Mauritius and Sri Lanka. Not sure about Brunei.
only idiot person will do currency conversion, yes, SG car is damn expensive, but do you know how much is Singaporean salary and their GDP？Fresh U graduate can easily get SGD2500-3000 pay, if u want conversion, is RM7500-9000, how about Malaysian U graduate？？？？？？？God bless if u can get a RM3000 job….
P/S: For your information, SG COE price Jan 16 for Group A (engine displacement up to 1600cc & engine horse power below 130bhp) is SGD45,002….simple calculation….
FOR OFF PEAK CAR @ RED PLATE
only for weekend & after 7pm weekday use
Selling price SGD75,888
COE SGD45,002
Off Peak COE rebate SGD17,000
Initial car value = SGD13,886
If dont convert to RM, cheap！！！！
Well, if u want convert, SGD13,886 x3 = RM41,658！！！！！
Even cheaper than local……COE just a permit, u can take back some money when u scrap your car….
see…this is typical Malaysia, export to other country still cheaper than local market…haiz
I can buy an evo 10 in australia with that money.
I choked on my rojak mee when seeing the article title.
That is why Singaporean rather purchase European car instead of Asian car since 3 years ago. Sales figure of Asian car in Singapore shrink for more than 80% since then.
later BN will politicize that Axia is as good as BMW… (at least from the pricing). so, don’t complain!… hahaha
Sg is heaven on earth, according to some people
who care, your fresh grad got high income, gov servant only in malaysia, can buy honda accord 2.0 lah,
