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

Well, that didn’t last long, didn’t it? The Proton Saga’s title as Malaysia’s best-selling car in April 2021 slipped away in May 2021 as Proton’s overall sales took a dip. Looks like the Perodua Myvi will be taking back its crown then. Proton managed to sell 9,440 units last month and these figures combined both domestic and export sales. It was a reduction of approximately 37.1% compared to April and the Malaysian Tiger had a market share of 20.3%. In the first five months of 2021, Proton sold

Like any organization experiencing rapid growth and change, there will be growing pains. Proton is experiencing this first hand, not just with supply issues of the very high in demand Proton X50, but also shortage in spare parts supply for its service centres. To Proton’s credit, the company has taken a very brave move to publically acknowledge the shortcomings in its after-sales services.

Ever since 2006, Proton lost their number one spot in the market to Perodua - a position that they are currently trying to reclaim with the help of Geely. Let's see how is Proton performing in order to close the gap with Perodua. In 2020, Proton managed to shift 109,716 cars, an increase of 8.8% from 2019. In the process, Proton managed to increase its market share by 4.4%, reaching 21.1 percent. While Proton's figures seem impressive, Perodua on the other hand sold 220,163 new vehicles in 2020

Proton recently announced its sales performance for Q1 2020 and despite Malaysia going into a nationwide Movement Control Order (MCO) in March, the national carmaker still managed to shift 21,757 units. An improvement of 20.4% compared to the same period in 2019. All Proton’s core models saw an increase in sales between 17 to 602% - the latter for the Proton Iriz. While the Proton X70 saw a decline of 48% in sales (attributed to the transition to the locally-assembled (CKD) model and MCO), it st

Main reason: Electronic Stability Control Less important reason: Floating touchscreen The 2019 Proton Saga facelift recently made its market debut and the company has trimmed the model line up from four to three variants – Standard MT, Standard AT and Premium AT. By doing so, the company is able to achieve better economies of scale and bring the prices under the magic RM40k mark while improving overall quality and equipment levels. However, if you are deciding between the automatic variants, I w
