The Daihatsu Ayla and Toyota Agya are the prominent models in the Low Cost Green Car (LCGC) segment in Indonesia, and having been of the market since 2013, the compact car duo are ripe for a full-model change that could arrive in March 2023, according to a source which told Otodriver.
Most recently redesigned as the Ayla EV Concept that was unveiled at GIIAS 2022, the zero tailpipe emissions hatchback was shown with an 80 hp motor and 32 kWh battery; there could be some design cues from the EV concept drawn for the upcoming model change of the Ayla/Agya duo.
Replacements for the Ayla/Agya duo have been tipped to be powered by a new range of engines, which are said to be the 1.0 litre turbocharged and 1.2 litre naturally aspirated engines, and the future compact car models have been said to use the engine from the Toyota Raize and Daihatsu Rocky, according to the website’s source.
As such, this points to the 1KR-VET inline three-cylinder DOHC VVT-i turbocharged engine that makes 98 PS at 6,000 rpm and 140 Nm from 2,400 rpm to 4,000 rpm, while the 1.2 litre NA entry is likely the WA-VE DOHC VVT-i engine that produces 88 PS at 6,000 rpm and peak torque of 112 Nm at 4,500 rpm.
The turbocharged versions of the Toyota Raize and Daihatsu Rocky are paired with either a five-speed manual transmission, or a D-CVT automatic transmission. Locally, this engine powers the Perodua Ativa.
Should this translate into a turbocharged variant of the Perodua Axia, launched in 2014 and refreshed in 2019 with ASA 2.0 for the top Advance variant, the Malaysian carmaker’s smallest hatchback model will likely get the turbocharged engine in its top variants, and therefore likely to be paired with the CVT to go with the richest equipment offerings.
What do you think, dear readers? Would the turbocharged engine make the successor to the Axia more enticing? Let us know in the comments.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Honda City @ indonesia pakai 1.0Turbo.
Xpayah pening, xpayah pikir. Nk power, beli je P2
P2 ada power ke?
Check YouTube. Axia kejar Civic, Lexus NX 200T 235HP Turbo, Triton Remap, dan macam2 lagi. Engine stock je.
Bro I don’t think they even know the Axia is racing them hahaha.
City @ indon kurang jualan.
More interested if they launched an EV
No more, Boleh panjat Genting ke? This will smoke all 1.5 NA car out there.
Lol nope.
Myvi non-turbo already so many stories on the road. If super cheap and tiny Axia fitted with turbo instead, I dread to imagine the horror stories on the road that will soon happen.
Whateverlah.. turbo, adas and all the jez. Save all these gimmicks to focus on quality.
Quality teruk skrang, bunyi sana sini, ada yang dari engine and gearbox. Pastu dashcam teruk gila. Klu tak rosak, camera yang tertanggal dari cermin.
now 90% parts sourced from local. that is the reason. hope no kroni-ism at play here.
If u compare, Honda BR-V and Toyota Avanza probably has more noise and rattling.
Probably? If you compare with the latest Myvi, you will DEFINITELY hear all sort of noises. Go to their FB page and you will see it’s not a coincident.
When u combined all car minor problem, boasted as 1 car problem.
Of course la.
Go to BMW FB page and you will see it’s not a coincident.
HONDA? Made in Melaka, bro.
Toyota? Made in Thailand, bosku.
Are they still japanese cars? You tell me.
Stupid argument
turboo?
YES PLEASE!!!
No cvt please. Bring in the manual
Yes. Manual more fun. People nowdays all want Auto. Like whole Malaysia is metropolitan area. There are a lot more area in Malaysia covered with only basic facilities, hilly roads etc. Auto is too lazy for this.
here people prefer auto cause can whatsapp, watch movies, eating while driving at the same time.. .. I wonder do they get summons?
+- sama saja design nya. No big significant changes.. looks alike.
Axia turbo? Habis lah..yg tak turbo pun meligat atas jalan, ni kan pula berturbo. Habislah king…
Current axia have 79ps/tonne power to body weight ratio. Already plenty. It not a good choice to put a turbo engine on it.
Ativa paired with new engine 1.2 liter make sense to me not for axia.
Soft turbo.. speedcut 140kmh.
Ativa with 1.2 liter engine make sense to me.
Yes Turbo, please
Perodua should produce a new Perodua Kelisa turbo. Perodua Kelisa has won Car Of The Year Award in 2002 and until now the resale value is still high. That shows its quality.
Any concrete news on the new Preodua AXIA 2023 D74A? When will it be launched in Malaysia?
Axia is about simplistic economic fun reliable car. Turbo adds complexity and takes away from the simplicity and reputability. I would prefer the 1.2L naturally aspirated engine connected to either a 6-speed manual in the base model, or a D-CVT in higher trim levels.
Axia 1.5 when it’s coming
I wonder why paultan is resharing this
Super car i loved
Under 30k confirm buy haha
Perodua cars should be banned from public roads, crappie cars
I am driving a Turbo Activa. The acceleration is quick and fast though it is a 1000 cc engine and heavy SUV. If this Turbo is fixed to Axia. It will be a excellent and can match the acceleration of a larger cc cars. Please not for racing on the road be reminded. Just for exhilarating driving feeling.P2 please have this Turbo Axia on the road. Looking forward. I have replaced my Axia one year ago with Activa. And had the feeling before that P2 one day will fix this Turbo in to Axia.
