Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) cut the price of its Axia model by as much as RM4,700 starting August 3, 2026, nationwide in both Peninsular and East Malaysia [1, 2, 3]. The largest discount is RM4,700 for the Axia 1.0G variant, followed by reductions of RM1,500 for 1.0X, RM1,000 for 1.0SE, and RM500 for 1.0AV variants [1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3].
The price adjustments result from ongoing operational efficiency improvements and cost optimization efforts in collaboration with local suppliers and partners, Perodua stated [1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 3]. Despite the lower prices, the specifications, equipment, and quality standards of the Axia range remain unchanged, with all savings coming from process and operational gains [1, 2, 4, 5, 6].
Datuk Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, Perodua's president and CEO, said the revision aims to alleviate cost pressures faced by Malaysians and enhance the Axia's accessibility. He added, "This price revision forms part of our ongoing efforts to ease the cost pressures currently faced by Malaysians." He also expressed gratitude toward vendors and dealers for their cooperation in improving cost efficiency, saying, "We thank them (vendors and dealers) for extending their full cooperation in enhancing cost efficiency for the collective benefit of the industry and, by extension, all Malaysians" [1].
Alongside the price cuts, Perodua also lowered service costs and adjusted pricing for its QV-E and Battery as a Service (BaaS) offerings as part of the operational improvements [1, 2, 4, 5, 6].
These price changes took effect on August 3, 2026, applying across the entire Malaysian market [1, 2, 4, 3].
