The Perodua Axia netted two awards at the annual Frost & Sullivan Malaysia Excellence Awards ceremony – “Value-for-Money Car of the Year (1.3L and below)” and the overall “Car of the Year for 2016” award.
As Perodua’s 10th model, the Axia was awarded the Value-for-Money Car of the Year (1.3L and below) based on affordability and fuel consumption efficiency that contribute to friendlier ownership costs.
Meanwhile, its Car of the Year Award was based on the Axia’s impressive growth of sales volume in 2014 and 2015, which increased its market share to become the leading passenger car and impacted the total industry volume (TIV) overall for 2015.
The awards were presented by Frost & Sullivan Managing Director for Malaysia & Senior Vice President for Asia Pacific, Mr Hazmi Yusof to Perodua President and CEO Datuk (Dr) Aminar Rashid Salleh. “These two awards show that we are very committed in giving our customers the best quality, value for money and good driving experience,’’ Aminar said. “We are very happy yet humbled to receive these awards and thank Frost & Sullivan for providing an objective platform to evaluate vehicles fairly. We would also like to thank Malaysians, especially our customers for their continued support of us; they are the reason why we are here tonight,” he added.
