Accoding to Perodua, the Bezza has been gaining popularity and is the most sought-after model at the moment.
"There was a significant rush in vehicle booking especially when the government extended the registration period to 31 March 2023 and we thank Malaysians for choosing Perodua as their brand of choice." Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato' Zainal Abidin Ahmad said.
"Speaking of the sales tax exemption; on the last day of the initiative, Perodua saw the highest single booking day on 30 June 2022 with 25,100 vehicle orders taken," he said.

"This is unprecedented and a testament to the growth potential of Malaysia's automotive industry given the right incentive."
He added, "We sincerely thank the government for extending the delivery deadline to 31 March 2022 as we needed that grace period to meet the demand so far," Dato' Zainal said.
Aside from the sales tax exemption initiative that ended on 30 June 2022, the other key factor contributing to this performance was the low registration of vehicles in June last year due to the second lockdown to reduce Covid-19 infection cases.

By comparison, for the month of June 2021, Perodua only registered 1,009 units, while in June 2022, we sold 21,164 units. On a month-to-month comparison, Perodua's sales performance increased by 10.7 percent from 18,901 units registered in May 2022.
Dato' Zainal said that the increase in registration in June 2022 was also due to better parts supply compared to the month of May.
