Axia in 2026 — what's new

The Axia carries on into 2026 unchanged as the D74A model, with four variants: G, X, SE and AV. The latest activity around the range is promotional rather than mechanical: 2026 campaigns have listed rebates for the Axia, including RM500 off in June and RM1,500 off in July. Online booking is also available with a RM100 fee, with colour and GearUp selection included in the process.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the Axia G at RM38,600, because every listed D74A variant here uses the same 998 cc, 67 hp petrol engine, CVT and five-seat layout. The X costs RM40,000, the SE RM44,000 and the AV RM49,500. On paper you are paying for trim, not mechanicals, so move up only if the exact equipment list gives you items you will use every day.

Verdict

The D74A Axia is a much more grown-up car than the original, with a larger body, better refinement, improved ride comfort and a cabin that has moved on by a big margin. Its strongest case remains simple: it is the cheapest new car in Malaysia and is cheap to keep on the road. But the AV costs RM10,900 more than the G, with no extra power in the listed specs.
