A silver Perodua Axia with an extremely lowered chassis recently turned heads online after it faced trouble navigating a speed bump at a parking lot in Kuala Lumpur.

In a now-viral TikTok video, the Axia can be seen approaching the bump only to get stuck midway as its low-slung bumper scraped harshly against the ground. The sound of the bumper dragging caused quite a scene, briefly leaving the car stuck.

Fortunately, a nearby bystander witnessed the awkward situation and came to the rescue. In the video, the man is seen carefully lifting the front bumper as the driver inched forward, helping the car clear the obstacle. Despite continued scraping sounds, the Axia eventually made it over without any visible damage.

Lowering car chassis has become a popular trend among Axia owners for style and aesthetics. However, the trend comes with practical drawbacks. A significantly lowered vehicle is more likely to scrape on uneven roads or common speed bumps, reducing everyday usability.

Some social media users who watched the video shared their thoughts, suggesting air suspension systems as a smarter, albeit more expensive, alternative. These adjustable systems allow drivers to raise or lower their cars as needed, offering a balance between style and functionality.

The incident sparked debate online, with many netizens applauding the bystander's kindness while also discussing the importance of modifying cars with practicality in mind.
