Test drive testimonial 1: Perodua Axia simple test drive

In the static state, found Axia actually quite engaging, personal aesthetics aside subjective, I think many people will be attracted to bright red, green and yellow models. Axia SE or later have a more fierce shape, and also includes a rear top spoiler, integrated third brake light design more lovable. Axia SE got into the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel, it is found that although plastic, but not stiff, a little elastic to the touch personally like. In addition the center console also attracted my attention, the hair treated silver frame surrounds the entire multimedia system with a fingernail scratch a scratch, it actually feels like with metal, it really is it made of metal? Then pressed a finger around a lot, although the entire cockpit is hard plastic, but the victory in the assembly quality is great, very solid.



Axia Advance built the most advanced materials better use leather steering wheel and seats are sewn, red front side to make it look more sporty. Center console design is still the same, but the middle of the player replaced by a touch screen that can play music, Bluetooth connection, via buttons on the steering wheel to direct click, and of course GPS map navigation function . Finally had praise is really very spacious interior Axia. Xiao Bian 1 meter tall and 8, the first sit front seat adjusted to a comfortable position, and then got into the back seat, knees and the front still has a distance of three fingers!

Car or to drive comfortably ah, no matter how high the previous evaluation, passengers also benefit from it.



First is that the three-cylinder engine that 1.0 liters, it is the first aircraft to use Perodua build aluminum engine, with fuel-efficient lightweight and energy saving features, as well as "Eco" energy-saving mode, so officials say can do best 21 KM / L of fuel consumption performance. Its maximum horsepower of 65 HP @ 6000 RPM, maximum torque 85 Nm @ 3600 RPM, equipped with five-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearbox. 0-100 KMH no data because mind that buyers will not choose it for a few seconds, and the election of its buyers do not care about the data.

In the test drive, the car sat three men, a total of about 200 KG or more, and also opened the air, but found Axia start is good. Although the engine noise a bit loud, but the buyer if it is the pursuit of the ultimate comfort, it should also not care about this little voice. Want to try it because the force of the engine, then pick off the Eco mode, but did not expect to just turn a corner, Eco lamp lights up again, asking around he realized Eco mode never "hung." Perhaps these factors, Axia acceleration out of the corners okay, but still obediently comply with the speed limit on the highway, because think speeding is also very difficult. It really is as Perodua said, it is a vehicle for city driving.



Axia using EPS electronic auxiliary steering wheel, steering force of good, with a turning radius of 4.5 m, so that Axia become very light and flexible. Chassis tuning soft, not too bumpy road passing through the shock, but the larger the angle at corners, body roll pretty big margin, only temporarily release the throttle cornering. This performance is not very rosy, but once again proves the point - it's assembled a good effort, at least the whole journey not appear murmur.

After the test drive and heard many compare Axia Myvi sided, but it is impossible positive comparison. New buyer's perspective, both the price and the difference with both. Using the same 40005 RM3,000, Axia's top money can buy and Myvi XT introductory paragraph, the latter no ABS, EBD and BA brake system, touch screen, leather and other materials. How to choose? Savvy consumers will choose Axia, loyal buyers will choose Myvi XT, nothing more.
