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.

Booking announcements are made, so this is the time to roll out more teasers to convince those still teetering on the fence: the 2022 Perodua Alza (D27A) showcases one more feature today. It's a very short video but it says enough - the all-new Alza will get a drive mode selector.

We also get to have a good look at the Persona’s

The current generation Proton Saga, sometimes referred to as the P2-13A Saga, has been on the market since 2016. To keep it ahead of its biggest competitor the Perodua Bezza, Proton gave the A-segment Proton Saga sedan a mid-lifecycle facelift in 2019, adding a new touch screen infotainment, and a new Hyundai-sourced 4-speed automatic replacing the previous car’s lousy CVT, and more importantly, drop its price to be lower than the Bezza.

The Internet is a wonderful place for rumour mills (remember the hullabaloo surrounding the Proton X50?) All one needs is to put in a photo, and boom, people will start talking about it. Which is what we saw happen when Toyota Malaysia teased the GR Yaris. People went crazy over it, and that's fair - it's an exciting car, but not expected to be cheap.
