Proton ended 2019 with 100,821 units sold, marking a 55.7% increase in total sales compared to 2018.

Furthermore, Proton sold 11,117 units in December, its highest performing month of the year.

With these figures, Proton’s overall market share for 2019 is estimated to be at 16.7%, the highest figure since 2014.

Last year, Proton sold a total of 26,331 units of the X70, 38,144 units of the Saga, and 21,876 units of the Persona.

However, Proton did not provide the sales figures of the Exora and Iriz, only stating that sales of the Iriz doubled for the year and grew by 97%, while the Exora witnessed a 40% increase in sales.

“The Proton X70 and the Proton Saga are two major ingredients to Proton’s sales success this year. We are humbled by the popularity of the Proton X70 and would like to say a big thank you to all our customers for their support, despite it being a brand-new market segment for the Company. As for the Saga, with over 41,000 bookings and counting, it remains as our core product and is a popular choice regardless of a buyer’s age, status and purchasing power, making it a car for all Malaysians,” said Dr Li Chunrong, Chief Executive Officer of Proton.
