Perodua made its first fleet delivery of the Axia to a driving school last week. Eleven units of the new hatchback were handed over to Arinah Holdings, a Terengganu-based driving school which ordered 22 Axias.
“The delivery marks the first in such fleet sale delivery to an organisation and we are committed to deliver our vehicles per delivery plan – bearing any unforeseen circumstances,” said Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh, Perodua’s president and CEO. He added that Perodua has received “overwhelming interest” from driving schools to acquire the Perodua Axia Standard E variant.
The Axia, launched last month, is Malaysia’s most affordable car with prices starting at RM24,600. Cheap and no frills, the Axia E is the perfect car to replace the basic Viva/Kancil that is the current staple of driving schools across the country. Older drivers might remember taking driving lessons in the original Kancil, Nissan Sunny or a Datsun.
As of last week, the Axia has received more than 33,000 bookings, with nearly 7,000 units delivered since launch day. Perodua aims to sell 30,000 Axias by the end of the year.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express concerns about the Perodua Axia E's limited power, especially uphill, and questions about the auto versus manual versions’ performance. Many are frustrated with long waiting periods and poor customer service. Some mention the car's minimalist features, noting it’s a basic, cheap runabout suitable for driving schools. There are also debates about production delays, variant availability, and manufacturer practices, with some feeling the long wait is a tactic to push higher-margin variants.
