That transition at 31:33 between the 2 variants gives so much NFS Underground car browsing vibes. Great work on the videography!
i see you're a man of culture as well
Undoubtedly Perodua have been adhering to their tagline "Building Cars People First" all this while but not until the introduction of this second gen new Axia. Previously safety will not be compromised and make available for all variants at least with basic ASA and 4 airbags in latest model. However, Perodua's marketing is now making the customers to tick off the most expensive AV Axia by reserving all the safety features for this variant, what a shame in puting the customer in a situation to choose between life safety or money saving.
Agree with Hafriz on the fact that G variant is purely exist to let Perodua claim the starting price below 40k, if only Perodua is generous enough to make X variant to start at 38.9k.
Agreed wholeheartedly! Was impressed initially, but this is really a sticking point for sure.
I guess P2 is really pressed to increase their margins.
You’re right Hafiz. If I hear Axia I think cheap and very affordable. The new Axia when I hear the price I am like “Mahal nya”😂
That's the point really,the price is supposed to be for a small sedan not a small car like axia besides all those so called tech cramp inside
Review paling detail.. paling memuaskan, & terbaik setakat ini, pros & cons semua masuk. Sgt2 membantu. Apa2 pun terpulang pada keperluan, kemampuan kita. Semua kereta/motor pun akan ada kekurangan & kelebihan, bkn semua boleh penuhi kehendak setiap org. kalau ade bajet lebih pegi pada model lain, to be honest axia kedua ni sudah ckup memuaskan, . Smoga dipermudahkan & dipercepatkan urusan sy. . My 2nd car . Axia SE. 👉❤️❤️😂😂
last week i saw a white Axia SE variant in my neighbourhood. gotta say i really adore the looks of it its kinda cute
When I see Hafriz do a review for a Malaysian car, I will watch it until the end. I like the way he speaks and the word he uses.
this Axia really bad pricing, interior looks good, but leg room just feels same like the old one. The biggest mistake Perodua make is still old 1.0L engine and 2 air bags for cheaper model. at least P2 give buyer a 1.3L myvi engine for AV, 6 airbags for all models and better rims please. (Not this cheap looking 14-inch rim).
it's still a good car though but there is a compromise and mediocre little bit
Yesm at that price point it is better to get a Myvi.
Then no point for Perodua to sell the Myvi if they put the 1.3 in the Axia. And for the rims itself, most buyers tend to go aftermarket. For the airbags, yes, I'll agree with you, they should've given all models with 6 airbags.
yup at least give axia style 15 rim😂
@@patrickgillespie9423 yup. people need to understand, manufacturer need to put their car in segmentation. axia for a segment, myvi for b segment. put 1.3L into axia will make it overlap with myvi and will hurts myvi sales so much.
Cheapest is Proton Saga now~
But saga is a sedan,just because axia have all the safety and some updates to the interior still the price don't makes sense
Don't forget overall saga is also better. 1.3 engine, right hand handling, the interior, the size, the tyre 15" , I can go on. I bought my new Premium Saga in 2020 and its only 39,800 lol.
The new Axia is just ridiculous 🙄
Saga kreta lama yg msih djual sbgai bru so xkisah lg murah .chasis lama .enjin lama .safety feature lama
But still when we look at features. Axia is still good. But in terms of space saga with affordable compared to bezza although axia same price with bezza hahaha
Anyhow sedans comfort is higher that hatchbacks, and hatchbacks practicality is higer than sedans, up to the buyer's preferences hahaa
Axia has come a long way from being a really basic car that everybody jokes about to a class leading in it’s segment. Excited for the next gen Myvi and Kudos to perodua 👏🏻
yeah it's still the best axia yet although the myvi is better but the axia is still the charm
@@aimanfitri0iv Of course segment B is better than segment A
class leading in it’s segment, axia probably the only car at it's segment
People have forgotten the legendary Kancil/Mira?
Yea indeed class leading as it's the only car available in its class
For a full spec Axia Advance 1.0 RM51k, you get the same interior as a Toyota Agya GR Sport, minus the paddle shifter and a 1.2 engine. And Agya is priced around RM70k in Indonesia. Axia is actually quite ok.
Axia now is competing with myvi. Saga will now have only one competitor, the Bezza. Despite that, it is a well upgraded model. Especially Se and Av. Couldn't agree more the fact that the X and G variants are just pointless when you can get premium Saga or Bezza instead. Especially for a starting family. Marhaen will look for those or used old axia or myvi instead.
the bench at the back really is short compared to others. it is supposed to make it look like it has a lot of space. thigh support is not good for passengers.
tiap kali ada insert/roller shot masa showcasing the driving experience, daun dekat front lower grill tu somehow lagi menarik dari kereta aha. anyhow, superb review as always 🤘🏼
Nak cabut je rasa 🤣
Today I have witnessed this beauty on the road. Not so bad for the rear lamp. Hopefully, it drives as good as it looks
Most Complete Review. Well Made. ✨👍🏼✨
For me, quality no issue. But the price segmentation is wrong. It no longer affordable for some people. Perodua no longer considered making cheap cars. People may opt for Saga. Gomen also should interfere.
11:43 The touch unlock is not better than button type. The button is more tactile especially when you want to use the two touch/press to unlock all door.
second that, having one car with the touch unlock like that would be disaster during rain, the button will auto unlock the car after you locked the car. damn annoying.
You can set it to one touch to unlock all door
First time ive seen this guy. The whole review is very articulate and comprehensive, as should any car review be. Probably could do with a little more character and 'attitude'. Even the videography could do with more creative touches. But overall a well written review, keep up the good work!
Try to have car crash review on real event then we see how is the result?.
saga will take over the low end market
Not sure if it's intentional.. but the droning noise sound coming through the review while driving was very noticeable
Honestly for a budget of 50k and below there are so many choices in used car market
new car has their pros n cons.. so do used car.. so just buy what u think its worth it..
older car will always have parts wear n tear and also the condition of the car.. some previous owner may had trashed the car and then u will bear the cost of replacing the parts..
new car will have a better peace of mind as everything is new and it will be covered in warranty if anything goes wrong
Great review
We still use the rear window heater.. really useful in cold days
but u have a wiper.. just wipe n done
Great review, all details.
Nothing to agree more. Good reviews.
Somehow I still prefer the old Axia Style in terms of the design n price if we put aside the new security features etc…. 😅
Frankly I prefer the older design, something I don’t say for the other line of cars offered by Perodua. The new Alza refresh is really gorgeous, this one just looks like a modern Proton Tiara. That being said, the new turbo I3 is spicy and it warms my heart we’re going back to our rempit roots with the Viva/Kancil turbo of the old days.
You’re right about the price though. It’s no longer the kereta Rahmah for the masses.
Modern 3 cylinder car with turbo are meant for the movement of 10 years requirement for scrap. That's what Malaysia is heading to improve its internal economy.
People just don't see that. It's a commercial gimmick that will burn holes in the pocket.
i think this is a very fantastic car but it's too expensive to the start the best variant i recommend is the x and se
"The best".....tp kenapa ada 2? The best kena ada 1 je
@@faizalnordin3172 sebab dua varian adalah so close
aha X?
@@faizalnordin3172 2 airbags for axia, low spec myvi 1.3L give min 4 airbags, alloy wheel spare tyre (not cut cost expensive Axia give steel), even the meter rpm also need to cut cost?? Why no just use myvi/ ativa analog meter??? Why still cheap looking reflector halogen headlight (last generation min projector halogen)??? Indonesia can offer 1.2L New engine, P2 should at least offer all variants with 1.3L 4 cylinders engine. Then Axia shows value for money. Next generation bezza can predict become more expensive +20k, will probably starting 50k to 70k?!!! New vios from 90k!!!
@@kc-channel471 this is what happen when u have no competitor. perodua giving the bare minimum since the consumers have no other choice for an A-Segment Hatchback. for bezza, we have the Saga. hence, they can jack up the price and give terrible value for money features. i mean come on, EVEN THE USB PORT ??? HOW MUCH DOES IT COST FOR JUST 1 CHARGING PORT ???
I hope this Axia 2nd gen will flop
bit disappointed still using 1.0 instead upg 1.3. i go for myvi overall inside outside. too expensive 50k tho
Kudos for a very,very articulate presentation. A+. Faultless English.
You can see P2's attempts to save cost. The rear lights, the rims, old school side signals dangg.
This new Axia honestly is just stepping stone and groundwork for future Bezza. Larger cabin, wider wheelbase, angled C-pillar. Not to mention, bigger price tag. They really dont want to sell this Axia.
Penjimatan minyak merupakan satu kelebihan pada Axia termasuk model lama.Saya sebagai pengguna Axia G 2016 yang menggunakan enjin tanpa "DUAL-VVT-i" dapat fc sebanyak 20-21km/l (jika memandu seperti biasa tanpa tekan)travel sebanyak 50km yang merangkumi jalan bandar dan lebuh raya
Paultan, with this new design any info what is the new drag coefficient that perhaps help contribute its FC into 25 km/l?
I hate the keyless and ofcourse that wobble on the gear area
Speaker is subpar to my ears
Already testdrove this lastmonth and it's on my channel
Gotta say, pretty disappointing for the price and went for Iriz Standard instead
1300cc and 4cyl engine aswell as key knob for base variant is my go to choice
Ofcourse way shorter waiting period is my target for the same price
Wow after all this...no shark fin antenna ?....The old one had a habit of cracking and breaking to bits...
The biggest problem with the ativa is the engine vibration not at idle but when moving, the engine vibrates so much at low rpm that the dashboard rattles so much.
I'm not surprised if it's the same as the axia and I wish car reviewers would call perodua out on this more.
Perodua wants to charge more but for every step forward, there is a step backwards.
I'll see.
And malaysians are queuing up to buy
im sad for young Malaysians entering the work market that they have to spend such money on such a car. my first car in 2009 was helped by my dad, a 1995 Nissan that cost 14k.. i upgraded in 2014 to a used Kia for 55k, now im able to get a prmium continental, yet I've nvr spent more than 10% of my salary on a car. if the gomen opened up the car market more Malaysians would not lose their lives in unsafe local cars and have affordable access to global safe mini cars. very sad. only umw and a few shareholders benefit from proton and perodua monopoly
detail & honest review..thank you
the thing is, people who bought axia in the past instead of myvi is because it's cheap, not because it's an AXIA or how it looks, how did it perform or anything else.. now it's no longer cheap let's see if the market is still there compared to the myvi..
I've ordered this car on January
The 1st thing that I'm going to change on the car back then were the tyre or the wheels all together
Becoz perodua used to have silverstone back then , but toyo buy out silverstone and shut down silverstone, with toyo come as standard
Maybe I'll change the wheel after 3 years
Now I can focus on the sound dampening 1st
Maybe I could change the steering wheel to the AV wheel
I still don't fully agree not equipping the AV with the Alza's latest headunit.
Most who spend 50k on an Axia expect a reasonable amt of the latest and greatest features being carried over from the Ativa/Alza and since Apple carplay/android auto is used now often, this is a fairly big setback. Takkan lah you wanna add on a phone holder for GPS to this already small windscreen that obscures your view?
This model differentiation reason is nonsense from P2's standpoint.
Well explained Hafriz
1:19 nobody is mentioning this sick beat? Been banging my head to this music since i watched this video last week.
Check out the music Better- Bel Ami (instrumental)
Hafiz, between Axia X and Ativa X, which one is better? I am trying to get a new car.
Saya prefer keep the name of Axia sebab baru kita nampak progress dari Axia to new Axia to Future Axia and so on, mcm kereta2 toyota or honda kita nampak progress sesebuah kereta, mcm old corolla to the new current corolla, imagine macam mana lah future Myvi kan, day by day silap2 next future Axia features will be sama macam Polo but the price will be more cheaper, then Myvi will be like golf, but kita tak tahu when, maybe 5 gen of Axia 5 gen of Myvi, but im sure we will be there… actually it is good because semua feature2 ni will be a benchmark untuk market kereta Malaysia, so lepasni Honda ke Toyota ke kena la bagi digital meter untuk kereta paling low spec yang diorang ada dan dalam masa perodua rival proton kena up market punya feature2 jugak dan ia akan memberi kebaikan untuk automotive negera tapi kenapa la perodua kedekut sgt nak bagi arm rest even myvi pun, kalau beli arm rest dkt luar tak sama kalau perodua bagi and original attach dengan kereta, kalau nak kata about cost im pretty sure perodua still in profit and it is a vast production will low the cost untuk arm rest
why the car came with spare wheels all around? hahaha
p2 said nobody use the rear demister and removed it entirely but contradict with latest Alza why they still give demister? so only the Alza n Ativa owner use the feature? bs excuse. Just because it's not often use doesn't mean it is not useful at all.
It’s never about the name. Who cares what the cars are named. “The name wouldn’t make the car, and if it is a bad car, the name won’t save it.” - Carroll Shelby.
Spot on for the "G" price vs the "X"; it should go lower. But I still like the headlight shape
I don't agree that most people will buy this over the last version even it's higher in price.
With same engine size, much louder transmission sound,, even with a lot of upgrades, 2022 axia still better overall than 2023 axia, since it's cheaper.
D-CVT max torque is 150nm. Those who bought this new Axia would know that they can slap a turbo on it and give it the power of an Ativa, it’ll become a pocket rocket
U meant the suspension right?.. how about NVH compare to mivy?
Perodua Management masuk air, bukan nak masukan engine 1.2 Baru tu...kalau masukan engine 1.3 pon Masih boleh nak xnk je.
Tak tahu la apa stratergi Perodua Axia, adakah dipasarkan ke global sampai semua safety featurers diletakkan.. Faham gunakan DNGA, wheel base pun dah seperti B segmen.
Perodua dah LUPA apa maksud kereta entry level yang golongan B40 pun boleh milikinya, axia E spec yang baru-baru ni pula hanya ada Manual, tak salah nak jual transmisi Manual tapi kenapa takde transmisi Auto dan paling basic janganlah sampai ABS pun takde semata nak jual bawah rm25k. Radio dan Speaker pun takde🤣.. Alahai
P/s: Perodua, untuk start-stop tu, baik tak perlu, tak ideal untuk kesesakan jalan di Malaysia ni.
How refine is this new Axia compare with Picanto?
p2 can always use the existing 1.3 engine for axia while keeping the vost reasonable
I agree that this car should have a new name but axia already has strong reputation
If u notice at the rear there is no longer have the heater so disappointed 😢
11:05 ah yes the typical malaysian mentality. That being said, I saw a small exhaust cutout, so sport muffler wouldn't look awkward and I always appreciate the bigger wheel arches so the car have somewhat decent proportions. Unlike the persona vvt tiny wheels to thicc body ratio.
Only one word “expensive”
that's why all the reviewers are hard-selling it so much
Usually new buyers who replaced the original wheels to bigger wheels will give-up in 2 years time when they've found out their car torque power loss getting worse.
Abang Paultan , boleh tak buat content Axia naik genting 5 orang dalam kereta. Nak lihat kemampuan maksimum Axia setakat mana boleh di paksa kereta ni.
setuju
tu kena mintak YS Khong
dah buat dgn abang gan. . nnt tgk la
What i use the rear demister all the time esp when rain.... what so cheap perodua, you charge more but less equipment
💥🔥💯
It makes more sense for the G if you have less money, just like me😂
The time dia tarik dashboard with 1 finger dan tolak dekat gear guna lutut.. 2 3 kali repeat...baru percaya🤭🤭🤭 but safety tip top😍😍😍
Hi Paul,
I am from Indonesia. I'd like to buy the tonneau cover, as it is not provided as standard in Indonesia. can you direct me to where I can purchase one?
Basically Perodua just said "Enough with the compact car nonsense. Everybody buys a B-segment looking car from here on out".
paul tan giving us that extended Snyder cut
Another bad news for the younger generations. A roof over one's head in Malaysia is seriously unaffordable and now owning a car is beyond the affordability of many. Perodua should continue to keep Axia as the entry level car.
Buy a Proton Saga, or a second hand car.
We should be focusing on improving public transport. 99% of the time taking the train is far cheaper than owning a car.
Tis is not the kancil viva replacement...tis is the myvi based on the sizes.
Are same Toyota wigo?? Interior?
Why on 2n gen axia's side crash test perform none side airbags?
The variant tested in this instance was the 1.0L SE, which is the second variant from the top, after the AV.
.. (imho) summary: The entry level G and Advanced are the best buys. Advanced? For those who want something fully loaded and more premium, that they intend to keep for long, either as a primary or secondary/shared/family car. The X is not bad, but the SE spec grade above is not recommend. This 2203 Axia is more for comfort, spaciousness and economical driving. Get the 1.3 4Auto 👍 BeZZa for performance.. and get that before the new gen with D-CVT (likely) and higher price is released next year or so 😊 The Axia boxy design at some angles, will not be for everyone, and the lower back bumper design gives it a fat unappealing look. Price increase is unavoidable at this point for P2 IMO, considering outside factors and the lower ringgit, and that D-CVT - save up for higher cost of repairs/replace if keeping long term.
Have been driving the 2023 Axia AV fairly often the last two months. My brother got it to replace his previous gen Axia, so Im familiar with both. I also still own my 2017 Auto BeZZa 1.3x, but one that has modified brakes, suspension, rims+tyres, and the full set of UR stability bars.
Timing chain or timing belt?
Compare with picanto ex?
For my first ever car purchase, should i get the latest axia or myvi? Anyone can give some recommendations as i am unsure which to go for 😢
Hi there, I have the same dilemma now. Confused between Axia Av and Myvi Av. Do you mind sharing which one u went with and how you feel about it?
I like the new clean design, giving the vibes of VW polo. A bit pricy but worth the improved features.
In your honest opinion, is it worth it to get Axia AV in that price range when there are other cars with the same range such as Iriz Executive and Myvi 1.3G? well of course excluding the segment difference. I’m in dilemma right now 😂
Personally for me, I'd take the Myvi or Iriz. This Axia's rear passenger comfort is still a level below those.
The recline angle is still a little too upright. Others are more relaxed and thus more comfortable.
Worse, Axia can only fold the entire bench while others can split fold 60:40. This can be annoying when you got 2 other passengers and need to fold rear seats when you're out shopping.
Also, the others have 1.5 and 1.6 L engine options. On highways, they'll have more power to maintain highway speed, it makes for a more relaxed cruise.
So if the budget permits, I'd go for Myvi 1.5 X or Iriz 1.6. the Iriz has higher fuel consumption though it handles the best and makes you feel most confident and safe to drive.
Pilih myvi dengan belakang ada head adjuster.
Will it have leaking oil filter as well😅
Should throw a turbo in the engine dept..then you will get best seller of the century
Kenapa dashboard dengan center console bergoyang. Skru longgar ke.
Perodua could have at least given us the 1.2 litre engine because how much more expensive it is
First time seeing this dude without a mask, finally know what he looks like 😅
Actually, you can see his face in old videos that was released before COVID 19 times
Yeahhh there's people recognise the back end looked like the Yaris XP90 Dugong!!
shouldn't the Kancil successor is the Kelisa and then became the Viva before Axia?
What about kelisa ?
13:26 Exactly how I felt when I first saw the photo. The designer probably took a hilux to ram into the back for the idea
The name Axia sounds good. They should stick with it. Comprehensive narration as usual by Hafriz.
yeah , it makes like they knew they target market for, they want the customer to buy the highest variant av instead like se. tbh upgraded speaker no worth it, it really need amp. and with the price getting higher i really thought we gonna get new engine for axia but we not. it make people think twice if they gonna buy AV variant axia , bcs the price hover at same level as myvi even bezza with 1.3l engine.
Looking for honest review on G variant, any tuber?
Starting from 15.45: 🫢🫢🫢
If you think the prices have rise a lot, calculate the inflation for the last 9 years.
untuk High Speed Stability pula Axia lama tak best kecuali memandu dalam bandar.Kalau saya masuk lebuhraya i try to maintain kelajuan 80KM/H dan maximum 100KM/H shj.....rasa macam sampan bunyi angin kuat........
The "small car" slot is now occupied by the Kia Picanto..?
Axia terlampau besar dah sekarang. Dah jadi Myvi. Axia sepatutnya kecik. Senang nak maneuver kst tempat sempit. Senang nak parking. Ini dah bukan Axia.
Reading some of these comments just proves my observation about Malaysians.. if they can, they'd ask for a Mercedes AMG for the price of a proton Wira..
Woww for price nearly RM50k you will get strechable plactic interior 😮😮😮
Car to start.
Axia vs Saga, which drives better considering nvh, feel, fun, refinement, stability, ride & handling?
saga
