The paultan.org Auto Car Expo (ACE) 2025, co-sponsored by Carro and Kärcher, will be the event for car buyers. This November 8 and 9, you’ll be faced with irresistible deals at the Setia City Convention Centre (SCCC), so do clear up your weekend!
Welcome to the default ‘starter car’ in Malaysia, but it’s far from basic. Priced from RM38,600, the second-gen Perodua Axia truly moved the budget benchmark when it was launched in early 2023, featuring the Daihatsu New Global Architecture (DNGA) platform and a D-CVT that contributes to a fantastic fuel economy of 27.4 km/l (with Eco Idle) on the Malaysian Driving Cycle.
Looks-wise, it’s galaxies away from the old Axia – strategically-placed swage lines along the sides give it a tauter look, while its front and rear treatments are trendy and up-to-date. It’s larger than the old car too – giving you more space inside – while remaining compact, so manoeuvring it around tight city streets and parking continue to be a doddle.
The list of available equipment on the range-topping AV can put quite a few pricier cars to shame – there’s auto high beam, a seven-inch digital instrument panel, a nine-inch touchscreen, Advanced Safety Assist (ASA) 3.0 including AEB, lane departure warning and prevention, blind spot monitor, rear cross traffic alert and six airbags. Value for money? You bet.
ACE 2025 will also host other car brands such as BMW and MINI (both represented by Wheelcorp Premium), iCaur (represented by iCaur Petaling Jaya), Lotus, Audi, Volkswagen, Zeekr (represented by Carro), Chery, Omoda & Jaecoo, Jetour, Hyundai, Ford, BYD, Proton, Proton eMas, smart (represented by EON), Leapmotor and Peugeot.
On top of all the delicious deals offered by all of these brands at the show, paultan.org will be giving the first 200 people to place a booking RM2,500 in tinting, detailing and accessory vouchers from V-Kool, Dodomat, Kuzig Glanz Detailing, The Carage and Harman Kardon.
Plus, every confirmed booking will enter you into a lucky draw to win the grand prize of an all-expenses-paid holiday for two worth RM10,000! A total of 20 winners will also receive Kärcher products worth over RM30,000.
That’s certainly plenty of extras for such a well-priced car like the Perodua Axia. So if you’ve been eyeing the compact hatch, now’s the perfect time to strike. See you at ACE 2025, SCCC this weekend!
