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.

Up till a couple of years ago, it was perfectly fine for the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) to publish sales breakdown by model, but the newly-enforced Competition Act 2010 forbids MAA from doing so, claiming that it prevents cartel-like behaviour among car manufacturers. As such, some brands like Mercedes-Benz no longer share such data, while BMW only share on a quarterly basis. The list of best-selling models in Malaysia is no longer publicly available, at least not from MAA, but this

Traditionally, hot hatches are defined by their manual transmission (MT), although some hot hatches are available with an automatic. So, when new Suzuki distributor Naza Eastern Motor launched the 2021 ZC33S Suzuki Swift Sport in an auto-only format, not only did it raised some eyebrows, it also piqued our curiosity on if it would be a good fit for the venerable Swift Sport.
