The 2019 Perodua Axia was officially launched this morning, after nearly a month of order taking that has resulted in over 5,000 bookings. The refreshed bestseller comes in six variants, priced from RM24,090 to RM43,190 on-the-road without insurance.
The outgoing Axia range had four trim levels (E, G, SE, Advance) and two of those (G and SE) had manual or auto options (base E was MT only, top Advance was AT only). In the 2019 Axia range, Perodua has added two new variants, and deleted the manual option for the SE, which means that other than the driving school spec E, all Axias come with a four-speed automatic. The new range reads E, G, GXtra (new), Style (new) SE and Advance.
Like before, the 5MT and 4AT are paired with a 1.0 litre three-cylinder engine. The 1KR-VE VVT-i engine makes 67 hp and 91 Nm of torque at 4,400 rpm. Claimed FC for the Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) is unchanged – 22.5 km/l for the MT and 21.6 km/l for the AT. The new SUV-inspired Style variant is rated lower at 20.8 km/l, likely due to a combination of extra weight, bigger rims/tyres and less smooth airflow.
The big news is the introduction of the Style variant. Dressed up in crossover fashion, the Axia Style has no extra off-road ability over the standard car, but wears SUV-style black plastic cladding around the lower body, with silver painted sections at the front/rear bumpers that mimic skid plates.
Adding to the desired effect are decorative black roof rails and 15-inch wheels, an inch up from the rest of the range. The latter, not unique suspension, raises height by a slight 15 mm. There’s also an exclusive Sunrise Orange colour for the Style.
Equipment wise, safety gets a big boost with the debut of Vehicle Stability Control (VSC) and Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) 2.0. First seen on the Myvi and then the Aruz (in 2.0 form), P2’s ASA safety suite includes Pre-Collision Warning, Pre-Collision Braking, Front Departure Alert and Pedal Misoperation Control, all working with the assistance of a stereo camera at the top of the windscreen. That’s a big deal in this lowest of segments.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the specs, complied by peering both at the spec sheet and the cars itself.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
there is no second hand car @ RM45k with ASA 2.0 eqv AEB.
not even second hand Full Spec Picanto, Jazz or Polo or Suprima.
Proton Saga is Ppl’s first small sedan. Value for Money.
Axia’s is today best small hatchback, Fuel Save yet Stability Control and ASA 2.0! Value for Money.
Both has made Malaysian’s small sedan and small hatchback value for money. Many Grab Driver would be happy with This Axia ASA 2.0 VSC equipped. less worry for accident. More comfortable with Semi-Bucket Seat ala from last Gen 1.5L Myvi.
axia.. Xpayah pikir, xpayah pening. beli jer
You are right! Thousands have already chosen the game changing Axia FL, so there is no need to think twice and just book the Axia FL without any hesitant
ya ya. Bila dah beli, pikir 2,3 kali nape FC tak dapat 20km/l, dan pening kepala nape servis harga lebih mahal dr Persona.
Another big winner for the winning company!!!! P2 always have served me well with no breakdowns. My Persona and Saga is a constant money pit
Oh now you have Persona and Saga pulak? Last time you said have ‘brand new Iriz’. You so rich from being paid troll ah, tikus? Or just imaginary cars you created from thin air?
Axia G should be MT. And axia GXtra should be AT!
Yeah, kunta we believe you. Same “stories” like you told us you bought a brand new Iriz after reading forum comments about it being a fuel guzzler.
Jadi, org tak pikir je yg beli Axia…
Well done Perodua. You have done well. Japanese concept of working hard has paid off. You make good products that make us Malaysians proud of you.
We are so grateful for all your hard work and your achievements. Keep up the good work Perodua. Continue to make us proud.
Perodua cars are cheap and reasonable in price. They are good for those who take on too much they cannot handle. Such as many wives and many children.
So they need to keep the cost of a car low as they have too many commitments
2019 Axia with a Toyota engine is 100000X better than a Campro engine problematic car.
All specs sucks except for Advance but that itself is wayyyy too overpriced. Again their cars are neither here nor there. Expect the unsafe lower variants to be the sales bulk again, and again endangering their users.
Bayaq bulan rm300. Rm10 sehari, mampu milik.
Expensive. Specs on offer does not justify the asking price. The axia advance should come with 1.3 engine. That you can call advance.
U can buy myvi 1.3 but lesser spec…
Eh can we just have one article on the Axia ah? So many.
Finally, axia can be fitted with ESC. Before this, they come out with statement that current model cannot be fitted with ESC.
https://paultan.org/2016/12/05/perodua-unable-to-install-esc-on-current-models-except-the-bezza-new-model-due-out-in-2018/
The top spec has better safety then the ‘premium’ German cars…
1.0 Litre for 43k!?!?!? WTH???
This car is just terribad. Wishful thinking Perodua is gonna give new features at reasonable prices. As long as there are goyim, hordes of silly minded – bad consumers, who pay more for less every year passed, it ain’t gonna happen ever again in human history. Those times are finished. Everyone buys whatever he can afford now, not what he should.
Perodua alway be perodua….sucking people money….the car is overprice….they only cheat people with the asa part….no value for money
No leather seats for advance variant. Why??????
Facelift my foot. Touch up a little bit here n there only. To me, it’s still a milo tin can car.
hahaa this is the best you can do to the ‘New Axia’ is it??
Just sell to those uitm student lorr
People car.. very nice! Love from Indonesia.. Love Perodua!
Should equip the manual version too with some safety features that are essential for cars nowadays,not just for upper spec only…And I think the Style version should have the manual option too..
I will wait for the E variant with manual transmission. Otherwise, I will move to Indonesia and buy the Toyota/Daihatsu version of this latest Perodua Axia when it is launched there. I am sure they will get a manual transmission Agla/Ayla there.
