Perodua's first flagship 3S outlet located in Petaling Jaya opened in May 2015.
KUALA LUMPUR: Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) on Friday unveiled the new Perodua Axia with a new Variable Valve Timing with Intelligence (VVT-i) engine.
The new engine will further boost the model’s fuel efficiency up to 22.5km per litre (km/l) in eco-driving mode compared with the current 21.6km/l for manual transmission.
Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd managing director Datuk Dr Zahari Husin said the Axia had been its best-selling model since 2014 and with the added value included in the new variants, the car maker would be able to sustain public interest in the model.
“Perodua has sold 214,700 units of the Axia since it was launched in September 2014, and in 2016, it sold 85,900 units of the entry level compact car.
“We target to have an average sales volume of 6,000 units per month for the Axia,” Zahari said in a statement on Friday.
The price of the new Perodua Axia variant in Peninsular Malaysia starts from RM24,900 for the Standard-E (manual) to RM42,900 for Advance (automatic).
The model, which comes in Ivory White, Glittering Silver, Ebony Black and Midnight Blue colours, is ready for booking. - Bernama
