Perodua Axia 1.0 Gxtra — Compact City Saver
The Perodua Axia 1.0 Gxtra is designed for city driving, offering impressive fuel economy, low ownership costs, and ease of use for first-time car buyers.
Performance & Powertrain
The Axia 1.0 Gxtra runs on a 1.0-litre 3-cylinder VVT-i engine producing 67 PS and 91 Nm of torque, paired with either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic transmission. It prioritizes efficiency over outright performance, with fuel economy reaching up to 21.6 km/l, making it one of the most frugal options in Malaysia.
Ride & Handling
Compact and nimble, the Axia is built for navigating tight urban spaces. Its suspension setup offers a comfortable ride for city commutes, though highway stability is modest. Light steering ensures effortless parking and maneuverability in traffic-heavy areas.
Interior & Comfort
Despite being an entry-level hatchback, the Axia Gxtra trim includes features such as fabric seats, a 2-DIN audio system with USB and Bluetooth, and ample headroom for its size. Rear seat space is adequate for short trips, and its 260-litre boot makes it practical for daily use.
Safety Features
The Axia Gxtra comes equipped with dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and ISOFIX child seat anchors. While minimal compared to higher-end models, it covers the essentials for urban driving safety.
