Just wondering, have your mum bought her new Axia yet? No more waiting list. If you don’t mind a 2023 new Axia G, RM500 discount, only red and white is available. Axia X and SE is more popular. I booked a AxiaG last week and I should get mine on Thursday or Friday.

Received my new Axia last week. One annoying thing, when in reverse gear in the car cabin there’s a beeping sound like the commercial vehicle. New Axia 2023 does not have this sound feature.

Will give more info when I have more time. Will share the difference between my Axia G 2018 vs Axia G 2024.

2024Axia
2024 Axia G vs 2018 Axia G

RPM ❎ vs ✅
Trunk ✅ vs ❎ on remote
Bonnet cover ❎ vs ✅
Wheel arch w/ rubberise sound proofing ✅vs ❎
Bluetooth ✅ vs ❎
Anti snatch hook ❎ vs ✅
Electric side mirrors ❎ vs ✅
Head lights are halogen vs projectors

The ride on the new Axia has improved significantly not as hard as my old Axia. Cabin is quieter too. Maybe because it is still new.

I only listed some of the less obvious differences between both cars. Please take note I didn’t include the transmission for obvious reason. Different accessories are given free depending which dealers one buy the car from. My BIL 2023* new Axia has different accessories compared to mine.

*his 2023 Axia has no cabin reverse gear warning when reversing.

Btw please give allowance for any technical name mistakes I’m just an old layman guy.

The back bench seat is not flat. It is angled upward.

Get a bonnet insulation if your car doesn’t have it. Congratulations on your new ride.

I noticed that depending where ones buy Perodua cars different dealers give different “free” accessories. My Axia came with free tint and the sales advisor told me it is 3M elite tint. It’s ok, I’m not complaining since it is free. I have installed better tint in my other cars. My BIL received a tint voucher from for his car.

I, too noticed this New Axia the speakers or the sound system is worse than the 1st generation Axia. This new Axia sounds system lack bass and treble. May upgrade later if I cannot tahan anymore. Overall the car cabin is quieter than my old Axia. I’m still researching what speakers to upgrade.

The best so far I have done, my old Axia vs new Axia 15.7 vs 17.1 km/l respectively. Mixed driving 70% city roads and 30% highways. My new Axia not fully run in yet. Only 1K +

I find XM2 too hard for my old Axia. My 2nd generation Axia OEM tires are Toyo, which I find more comfortable but then the new Axia chassis is not the same.

I had my mine serviced last year about RM500+ close to RM600. My memory not so good and I can’t find my receipt. You can decide what you want done. That service they told you may include tyres alignment rotation. I had brake fluid, engine and gear oil changed. That’s all I can remember.

Now that you mentioned it, yes I have just the coolant, air filter changed too. Unfortunately I can’t confirm because I have given the car to my mum and the receipt and job sheet is in the service booklet. If that is the case, the amount I spent could be more than RM600+. Sorry about this didn’t mean to waste your time, I had to carry out 2 major service for this car due the long layoff caused by the pandemic. I think I may have the pricing mixed up.

My wife sewed a small pillow to support my lumbar. It seems to help and stopped me from sliding forward of the seat. It is still early days I only started to use it last week. I don’t have discomfort in my shoulders only that I keep sliding forward.

Forget to mention the lumbar support has improved overall comfort when I’m driving.

It’s just a softer brake pad. Like continental cars. P2 likes to source their parts from different manufacturers, eg. Their recent oil filter fiasco was from an another manufacturer.
