The Perodua Axia is an A-segment car, but cabin length and width eclipses that of the larger B-segment Myvi, so the Kia Picanto and Mitsubishi Mirage
are easy foe in terms of cabin space. Rear legroom is very, very
impressive, and headroom is adequate. We also saw four cabin trolley
bags stuffed into the 260-litre boot upright, level with the top of the
rear seats, and with width to spare.
The Axia effectively takes over the “cheapest car in Malaysia” title
from the Viva, but it’s a much-improved product with a superior package
(four-star ASEAN NCAP, five-year warranty). With this, the baseline is raised, and Malaysian motorists are the winners.
