Perodua receives “The BrandLaureate Best Brands Award Most Favourite Brand Automotive Sedan/Compact Cars 2016/2017”



Perodua recently received the “The BrandLaureate Best Brands Award Most Favourite Brand Automotive Sedan/Compact Cars 2016/2017” by the Asia Pacific Brands Foundation (APBF) on 22 May 2017. The compact car manufacturer was the only automotive manufacturer awarded by the APBF this time around. 


APBF is one of the few organisations that highlights the power of branding  in all sensory aspects, which is a key point in marketing a product. Perodua must have touched all the points required. I personally believe that they are indeed on a roll and awards like this is the result.

It is always a good thing when automotive industry players win awards that cross the usual boundaries.

The APBF was founded in 2005 as a non-profit organisation dedicated to developing

“This endorsement to all our models is a powerful one, particularly in a highly

Perodua produces compact vehicles which include a compact hatch (the Perodua
