Well here’s a surprise – the new 2019 Perodua Axia looks to be coming soon! A brochure has surfaced on social media, indicating that the national carmaker’s smallest, cheapest model will be getting some new features to go along with a visual update.
First things first, it’s confirmed that the Axia will not only get Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), but also Advanced Safety Assist 2.0 (ASA 2.0) with pedestrian detection. Variants GXtra (a new mid-range trim level) and above will be fitted with VSC, while ASA 2.0 will be offered on the range-topping Advance. As before, the base E will come without ABS, which will only be available from the higher-spec G onwards.
Based on the near-identical silhouette to the outgoing car, the new Axia will be more of a heavy facelift than an all-new model, and it sports the same 260 litre boot. Perodua has previously said it cannot install VSC on existing models that were not designed for it, so clearly the company has managed to work around it. Given that there’s no mention of airbags anywhere, however, the airbag count will likely remain at two.
Onwards to the specs. The E will remain the cheapest car you can buy in Malaysia, and it comes with none of the features listed – not even a head unit or speakers. It will also be the only variant to come with a five-speed manual gearbox (and only as a manual), with the G now only available with a four-speed automatic.
The G gains two speakers and 14-inch alloys, but the anti-snatch hook will be removed, it seems. That will be reserved for the GXtra, which also gets front and rear parking sensors, a height-adjustable driver’s seat, powered side mirrors and four speakers. The SE model gain a chrome grille, front and side skirts, keyless entry and tinted windows, while the Advance throws in a reverse camera (and likely a touchscreen head unit).
The facelift also sees the introduction of a new Style variant, slotting between the GXtra and SE models. This will be the only model to get unique front and rear bumpers (unlike the outgoing models, the SE and Advance model will revert to the standard bumpers), along with larger 15-inch alloys. No ASA 2.0 on this one, though.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
In 2014, people said Iriz will beat Axia in sales.
The opposite happened, and the so-called Global car is only sold in Malaysia and Indonesia.
History will repeat itself.
When? Nobody I knew said that. Everyone knows that Iriz and Axia are in separate segments so they don’t compete with each other. Seems like someone just came out from a cave.
The P2 troll been delusional and hearing voices in his head. Hence all his comments are not to be believed.
So many hypes and huhuhaha on Iriz launch years ago. Today, game over Iriz cannot beat game changing Axia and Myvi sales.
I appreciate Perodua decision to include many safety features on their best selling game changer. Now with this complete safety feature, game changing Perodua Axia sales sure will increase rapidly. I also hope Proton will send Rombongan Sambil Belajar to Perodua office to learn how to make game changers with complete safety features. Safety is priority!
Not a single Iriz was sold in Indonesia while Perodua Myvi still sold hundreds in there every month. This is a game changing fact that can’t be denied
Not a single Perodua was sold in Egypt while Protons still sold hundreds in there every month. This is a game changing fact that can’t be denied.
Everyone can play this game.
No point going to Indon, they are looking for used cars not new cars. Perodua going there is game over for them.
https://paultan.org/2019/08/20/instead-of-new-more-looking-at-used-cars-in-indonesia/
Why do you call yourself “LEMBU”?
Because the comments made is perceived as not so smart?
BTW what are the numbers of MyVi cars sold in Indonesia?
Is this the end of Saga FL? Will Saga FL game over soon once Axia FL launch? Anyway, I suggest Proton to discontinue the Saga FL soon or hence Proton will lose sales and money
No! This Axia FL will game over soon once Saga FL sales are up. Anyway, Perodua should close down together with discontinuing Axia FL, Alza FL and Aruz. This Perodua will surely going to bankrupt
Saga FL only booked 500 units per day while game changing Axia sold thousands per day. Also, Perodua sales are always no.1 so how come Perodua will go bankrupt Mazda1530?
Basher don’t look at segments, which is why he compares Saga with McLaren F1. He only makes himself look very foolish and untrustable on the internet.
Go read all the comments in PT Iriz/Axia articles from 2014. You’ll be enlightened.
One sided. Only Perodua fanboys are comparing Axia with Iriz, while genuine Iriz owners won’t even look at Axia.
Even in Indonesia Iriz was sold less than 50 units. No, not per month. Less than 50 since the introduction. Axia’s brother is everywhere (Agya/Ayla), Myvi is also popular (as Sirion)
But still with a terrible chassis that has 0% advanced high strength steel content, and minimal high strength steel content. Although it has airbags, ABS, VSC and ASA 2.0, don’t forget how Alzas look like after they’ve been involved in a crash. Somehow their 4-star ANCAP safety rating hardly translates to better structural shape in an actual accident.
As well crap handling and the suspension will be like shit and worst NVH level
still same old shitty car. my worst purchase ever on car. the only good is low fc, thats it
I’m with you bro. Felt so underpowered that i regret i trade it in with my Viva. The Viva are at least so much better when it comes to low speed pickup(0-60) compared to Axia. Axia felt heavy and i need to press the accelerator harder or downshift from D to 3, especially when i need to accelerate up to speed after coming out from a busy junction/corner. My old Viva have no problem in doing that.
I feel u too. Finally got rid of this crap car axia and got a mazda. Enjoying every second of this
“Perodua has previously said it cannot install VSC on existing models that were not designed for it, so clearly the company has managed to work around it. ”
..CLEARLY they tipu. actually can, they just didnt want to do it because of cost increase. but now they need to up their game otherwise kena kejar with geely saga.
Precisely. It’s all about the money. Now that Saga has come with the new features, suddenly its workable. Cheating Jaolpanese wannabe.
Habislah Perodua! They had been caught lying! Just like their trolling salesman here, all cannot be trusted. Pecah tembeleng, bro.
They previous and current owners of Axia sue Perodua for lying to them and demand a recall to install the missing VSC. Even relatives of unfortunate owners that got killed in Axia should be able to sue Perodua. Perodua & their Toyota bosses must take responsibility for the lies upon lies.
Here’s the CEO comment which I wonder is not supporting a government safety regulation? https://paultan.org/2016/12/05/perodua-unable-to-install-esc-on-current-models-except-the-bezza-new-model-due-out-in-2018/
why don’t P2 spend some time to work on the engine to develop more horsepower. an axia fully laden with 4 adults will struggle to keep up with the traffic on the highway.
Because it’s Perodua. All they care about is the fuel economy. Not the power.
Having VSC as an option is a very HUGE improvement for the Axia!…
The best game changer just got better, habisla Proton!
Asam pedas, Cooldown, anonymous is the same person. Every what they said is nearly similar. Hahahahaha!
P2 cutting cost nowadays. Paying one troll to do a few trolls’ work. The trolling quality suffers as every comment seem similar.
I wish they cut him off entirely. He is dragging their brand name down. Not that they aren’t down it themselves already but still….
Can see when he copy and pasted the same comment, he did a bad job at that. Half-assed lazy-ass job also he could screw that up. That’s what happen when they paid peanuts… they’ve got monkey quality results.
Habislah protong! Muahahaha!
When a jealous, broken heart and very frustrated p1 fan cant control his anger, so will just simply say some commentator as same person. Pity u bro. Dont look back in anger. Kahkahkah!
You are just as untrusthworthy as your employer when your bosses had told us Axia cannot fit in ESC but now suddenly can.
Still axia whole year sales only can beat proton whole year sales last year, even no ESC VSC ABC cendol ais kacang hahaha!
So you’re happy they sold more unsafe cars going on our roads? You must be mental to be happy when so many unsafe cars are nearby you and your family.
Safety First…for ur safety 1st think u really need to go check up at tanjung rambutan becos the lost of saga to axia make u mentally unstable right now. U can bash the cement wall there later. Muahaha!
@Stay Tune.
You must be a resident there for knowing well how things goes there. Please stay tune there and don’t come back here.
Wowww good job perodua. Habis lah all p1.
The spec offered by Perodua on Axia 2nd facelift (Bezza facelift soon will be the same) gonna throw Proton Saga facelift far away. Congraz Perodua continue to be Malaysia No.1 car maker.
VSC is great. If you increase the airbag count then i have no reason to deny Axia as second car that’s small but with decent safety
Perodua is feeling the heat….
“Perodua has previously said it cannot install VSC on existing models that were not designed for it” because Japanese overloads said Malaysians 3rd world country…no need…
Now sales drop, sumbat everything in the car…
Sales drop?
2018 YTD p2 sales 227,243. Axia contributed 70,821 unit.
While p1 2018 YTD only 64,744.
No need myvi lar, Axia only is enuff to beat p1 whole year car sales number. Lols lols lols!
For the 1st 6 month this year proton total sales is 43679, while perodua sold axia for around 32000 for 1st 6 months this year. Axia only 32k mannnn!
Personally i dont think its a ‘surprise’ that the facelift with additional goodies comes out.
It should be a ‘surprise’ as safety does not come as ‘standard’
It also show how stupid they are with this move. The ANCAP rating will be assessed on the lowest specification Axia E only which is kosong and don’t even have ABS EBD. And front sensor for a small car? Someone must be smoking some weed while making the specification for the car.
Crap
100MPa body structure, what kind of ASA 20 also not use.
Thanks to Proton Saga unparalleled safety kit, now Perodua is forced to give better safety specs. Kudos to Proton but shame to Perodua for needing to be pushed before they act. Way too late!!!
what safety kit that saga FL got other than ESC for premium variant which is bezza already did beforehand. and u called that paralled safety kit? hahaha
In the early, Perodua mentioned the Axia current platform are unable to install the VSC….Now suddenly with VSC face-lift, betul ka?
Habis lah Proton like this. Myvi already overtaken 4X total sales of Proton
Now this.
Last time Proton fanboys will say Axia got no VSC. Now Axia already got.
OMG OMG OMG. Proton better tutup kedai. Only car they can sell is China made X70
Aren’t you the same dude caught with same exact comments as (Why Malaysia is still the SAME? on Aug 16, 2019 at 6:18 pm)
Troll Hunter obviously a proton fan has no idea wat to do n komen because p2 is always better n the best, so this troll just find somebody’s fault to blame for their own failure.
So blatantly obvious that you and History Repeat above is the same person. Why hide it. Got no balls is it?
I think I would rather have E, EXtra (pronounced e extra), G, X or H and AV
As I mentioned earlier, Perodua is is the only car company that cares about you, unlike its competitors. An “A” segment that comes with ASA 2.0 system does help us drive in the city, which helps to reduce the majority of mistakes made by Malaysian drivers. Drivers in Malaysia do not need hot press forming and high fuel consumption cars. However, they are looking for a safe and fuel-efficient car.
Without its competitors, Axia will still come without ASA, without VSC, without traction control, and a single airbag or even none. Thank god we have KIA and Proton. Perodua can suck my b***
ASA can’t even properly detect bikers and pedestrians, the two things you encounter most often in city driving.
ASA 2.0 can detect pedestrian. and it is much better that another brand who only give the same function for a model that priced more than rm120k.
No more manual on std G. Manual transmission cars are dying
And if you ask for manual, their SA will insult and bombard you with this word (Hang b*d*h punya orang, apasal mau angkat manual lagi, lu betul-betu ba*g**g).
“the anti-snatch hook will be removed” Frankly speaking i think this is a useless item i found in Axia and it is also not practical becos the hook is to huge and you know the space between the front 2 seat is so limited, furthermore, it always knock my arm whenever i try to assess behind to take something at the back….
Funny how perodua fanboys were all gaga about the ‘anti-snatch hook’ when it first appeared as their kosong cars have virtually nothing in terms of features and now they go quiet when this useless feature is being removed. Fanboys remain fanboys with no logic or reasoning to back up their claims.
it will be removed for lowest spec G only which is they dont even have that before this lol
Saya tak mahu. I buy Kia picanto lagi serba best
Looking forward for the STYLE VARIANT! Gonna buy Axia as my first car after graduate. hihi
Oh yes 2.0 but still the useless ride and handling , worst NVH level.
Come on P2, focus more on comfort , handling , NVH.
Jual 20k boleh la…tak value untuk duit kalau mahal2 tin kosong
Axia sales > Proton total sales
Proton 2019 total sales is more than Axia sales already. That is before even counting the Saga facelift. Don’t show your failed math and logic here.
Habis la saga. Saga try to fight myvi but failed, so go fight axis, but failed too. So saga is totally failure.
Steering lock…..
VSC and ASA in cheap car Axai… GOOD JOB POODUA.
But, DOES IT HAS A BLOODY TEMPERATURE GAUGE in this car or not as well as all other Poodua lineup. Or is it too costly to include one, even best selling Mivi also don’t have, just a cheap stupid idiot blue/red light that cost RM2 that may or may not light up when car overheat until burn.
It will never drive any better than the facelifted Saga .
pity those 32k Axia owners who bought a car with no VSC…I hope they dont drive in the rain..
The real game changer.. habislah Iriz & Saga!
Axia? My suprima s 2013 far better la..
Vsc hanya untuk kestabilan je..iaitu utk mengelak kereta trbalik tetapi jika sekiranya axia berlanggar dgn kereta besar seperti kenderaan 4×4.. vsc takde fungsi apapun.. axia tetap hancur mcm tin sardin.. penumpang tetap mati katak..

Why buy Axia when you can get a bigger car at almost the same price with better performance and technology? Yup I’m talking abt the new Saga.
