In times of uncertainty, Malaysians are increasingly looking to affordably priced models from Proton and Perodua. Strong demand for national make models is the reason behind a 10 percent jump in October 2023’s new car sales, says MAA (Malaysia Automotive Association). A total of 74,896 units were sold in October 2023, versus September’s 68,156 units. This is the third time this year that Malaysia’s monthly new car sales crossed the 70,000 units mark. October’s number is also the second highest t
With less than two months left before the year ends, Perodua is revising its sales target for 2023 to 325,000 units, up from the earlier announced figure of 314,000 units. Production targets have been increased in tandem, from 330,000 units to 338,000 units. In case you are wondering on the gap between production target and sales', Perodua’s production target is always slightly higher than its sales targets, to accommodate the need to keep a small number of buffer stock. Perodua says the upward
Perodua is set to make the fourth quarter of this year (Q4 2023) its best ever, and the Rawang outfit is well on track to hit its 314,000 unit sales target this year – and an improved production efficiency is the major step they've taken to see it through. Advancements in its plants have seen the carmaker post 18.6 percent sales increase year-to-date in September 2023, which currently stands at 233,227 units. Rather unsurprisingly this comes off the back of a 18.7 percent improvement in manufact
Perodua has clocked 88,537 units sold in the third quarter of this year (Q3 2023), a 28.3 percent improvement over the same period last year (69,011 in Q3 2022), credited to a boost in production and the Perodua Bezza's reigning status as the brand's best-seller. This also means that Perodua has sold 233,227 units in the first nine months of 2023, an 18.7 percent improvement over the 196,354 units this time last year. Of those, the Bezza reigns supreme as the brand's best seller, followed by the

In August alone, 41,386 vehicles were registered, up 12.5 percent from July 2023. Toyota contributed deliveried of 10,275 units in August, up 23.1 percent from July. Cumulative sales from January to August totalled 67,283 units, up 9.2 percent from the same 8-month period in 2022. Toyota’s market share now sta
After ending the first half of 2023 with healthy order banks for both Perodua and Toyota, the UMW Group is upbeat about its associate companies meeting their respective 2023 targets – 314,000 units for Perodua and 93,000 units for Toyota. Toyota ended the first half of 2023 with 48,659 units registered, up 6 percent from the same 6-month period last year. Toyota and Lexus ended the month of June with 8,004 units registered, up 8 percent from May. The Toyota Vios, Corolla Cross, and Hilux are the
The Perodua Bezza has overtaken the Perodua Myvi – for the first time – as the brand's best seller, helping the Rawang outfit record a total sales volume of 144,690 vehicles in the first half of 2023 (H1 2023). This alone is 13.6% better than the number of registrations in the same period last year (127,343). The Bezza ranked as Perodua's top seller so far this year with a total of 40,555 units sold between January and June this year, edging the Myvi's 32,319 units and Axia's 28,199 cars. Meanin
The humble Perodua Bezza is a successful little sedan that moved many Malaysians ever since it was first introduced in 2016 as P2’s first-ever three-box-shaped car. A favourite among Grab drivers, young families, and first-time car owners, the Bezza is as much of an icon as any other Perodua. But in 2022, it achieved yet another milestone not on a national scale, but a global one. That’s right, if you’ve gotten passed the clickbait-sounding title and curiosity got you this far, the Perodua Bezza
Perodua has 6 models in its line-up. The newer models are the new generation D27A Perodua Alza and D74A Perodua Axia, launched in July 2022 and February 2023 respectively. Of the remaining 4 models, the Perodua Aruz – launched in January 2019 – and the Perodua Bezza – first launched in July 2016 and facelifted in January 2020 – are due for either a mid-lifecycle update or a full model change. Perodua has previously said that it has the capacity to launch one full model change and two ‘minor chan
Toyota's Kinto One car subscription programme in Malaysia has now added (almost) the full range of Perodua models, meaning prospective owners can now opt to subscribe to an Aruz, Alza, Ativa, Bezza, and Myvi with prices starting from RM 608 monthly. Kinto One is an all-in-one susbcription plan that was first launched here in January 2021. Initially it was only extended to Toyota and Lexus models. The monthly packages are customisable.
