The second domestic car Perodua announced that although they are facing issues with the increase in raw material prices, it will not affect the current car prices and will maintain the current prices in 2023.
Perodua is solving the cost problem
Perodua Chief Executive Officer and CEO of Perodua, Datuk Sri Zainal Abidin Ahmad, revealed at the “Vision 2023” press conference that they are looking for ways to address cost issues to combat inflation.
He said that although the price of the new Axia has increased, it is not due to the increase in raw material prices; instead, they have added new features and safety equipment to the new Axia. The price of Perodua's existing cars will remain unchanged.
The price of raw materials used in the manufacture of cars will stop rising this year and may start to stabilize in the middle of the year as the economy recovers, Abidin predicted.
