Perodua Axia G vs X
Verdict
The Axia X costs RM1,400 more than the Axia G, but the hardware reads almost the same: a 998 cc petrol engine, 67 hp, 91 Nm, CVT auto and front-wheel drive. Both seat five, carry 265 litres, use a 36-litre tank and get 2 airbags with no AEB. The only dimensional change between these two is width, at 1,665 mm versus 1,655 mm. On paper, the G is the sharper buy; the X needs equipment you personally want to justify the small top-up.
Pick the Perodua Axia G if you want the same engine, gearbox, boot space and road tax for less money.
Pick the Perodua Axia X if the RM1,400 top-up buys trim or equipment you have checked and genuinely want.
