Verdict
The Perodua Axia X is the sensible step up if the extra RM1,400 is within reach. Its LED reflector headlamps, keyless push-button start, steering tilt, two front parking sensors and four-speaker audio address everyday use rather than performance: both cars retain the same 67 hp, 91 Nm 998 cc petrol engine and D-CVT. The Axia G remains the sharper budget choice because it keeps the same core safety equipment, 265-litre boot and 25.3 L/100 km rated economy. Choose it if those X conveniences do not matter to you.
Pick the Perodua Axia G if you want the lower entry price without giving up the X’s engine, D-CVT, core safety kit or boot space.
Pick the Perodua Axia X if LED headlamps, push-button start, steering tilt, front sensors and two extra speakers justify RM1,400.
