The 2023 Perodua Axia has been available to book from January 31 this year, and despite having less than one month elapsed since the opening of its order books, Perodua has managed to acquire 3,591 bookings for the upcoming A-segment hatchback.
The national carmaker has also set a sales target of 5,700 units a month for the second-generation model. In doing so, the upcoming model also appears on track to becoming the bestselling model for Perodua, exceeding production volumes for the B-segment Myvi.
Perodua also announced at the preview event for the upcomming model that total production volume for the second-generation Axia is expected to exceed 82,000 units, which is tallied with the final production batch for the outgoing, first-generation Axia. The carmaker also set itself a target to attain 45% market share in 2023.
There also remains some 44,000 orders for the Axia which have yet to be fulfilled, though Perodua has managed to convert nearly all of these outstanding bookings for the first-generation model to bookings for the upcoming D74A-generation car, despite being more expensive than its predecessor due to increased content and being a larger car.
Four variants will be offered from launch – G, X, SE, and AV, with each variant estimated to be priced at RM38,600, RM40,000, RM44,000 and RM49,500, respectively, on-the-road excluding insurance. All variants of the new Axia are powered by a 1.0 litre naturally aspirated engine that is now paired with a D-CVT transmission, replacing the four-speed automatic of its predecessor.
The second-generation Perodua Axia will be officially launched on February 14. In the meantime, check out our first look at the D74A hatchback, here.

You know mainland people mentality. They leave at first sign of trouble. Look at Sri Lanka and Pakistan that they called friend.
they are only there to loot their resources lah. they never considered those countries as friends, more like colonies. China is no more an angel than the US
why you spread fake news? We get 2 years loan moratorium from chinese lenders.
The previous axia got 3500 booking on the first day of booking date. This one boking opened more than a week baru dapat 3500+. You can strip all camo also won’t change anything.
low income first time car buyer getting smarter has more option over this new bezza hatchback
To be fair, previous axia have E variant launched together, meaning more bookings not just from personal but from business

Nice, larger boot, comfortably thicker door
Larger boot yet Full Size Spare Tyre.
this culture of romanticizing record car sales really needs to stop tbh
A premium compact now,
RM50k, $11,500
In 2 years time,with facelift..60 grand.plus hire purchase interest…70 grand..the Americans shake their head in disbelief..for such a tiny weeny super duper compact car .
If the ex TOP Gear ,British Jeremy Clarkson gets hold of this Axia..he will hoist it to 100 feet and crash it,like how he crashed the Kelisa.
Oh America has cheap new cars? I don’t know Americans can buy fresh new car below RM50k there.
Ask your dummy head,how much do US tax cars?Zero taxes.EXcept sales tax ranging from 2-5%,according to different states.
Only difference is petrol price is floated.No subsidies.
11 Jan 2023 — PRNewswire/ — The average transaction price (ATP) of a new vehicle in the U.S. hit a record high in December at $49,507.
$11,500 a premium compact, but a outlier compared to M50 USA.
rm38k gx variant still ok, but rm50k big no i’ll top up few to get persona exec.
AXN AV buyer want the following:
1, Autonomous Emergency Brake
2. Blind Spot Monitor Side mirror
3. Digital Speedometer
4. >20km/L without Hybrid!
A premium compact Hatchback overall.
Much larger boot than Iriz.
My 1st impression on the exterior design, a bit old school, looks like Proton Tiara. But as we all know, all P2 cars gonna be like pisang goreng panas.
soon, the dreamy “maestro of rendering” will forge a rear to this tiara-looking p2…
I feel bad for that 3591 owner.
