We just got back from Perodua’s headquarters in Sg Choh, where the carmaker released its sales figures for 2010. And it comes as no surprise that Perodua has ended last year as Malaysia’s best selling brand, something it has achieved for five consecutive years. The 188,600 vehicles sold in 2010 breaks the company’s all-time record of 167,400 units from 2008.

To cap off a great year, the Myvi, in its fifth and possibly last full year in service, ended 2010 as the best selling car in Malaysia. Perodua’s MD Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh was in good spirits as he unveiled the figures, but wasn’t keen on revealing when the “new Myvi” was going to debut, although he did say that a new model will be launched this year, following Perodua’s trend of one new model every two years. The Alza was launched in late 2009.

Perodua shifted over 77,000 units of the Myvi in 2010, and amazingly against the usual trend, registrations peaked in the last quarter of the year. The B-segment hatchback contributed 41.2% of Perodua’s total sales. With 69,000 units sold, the Viva was responsible for 36.6% of the pie. The rest of it belongs to the Alza, which found nearly 42,000 buyers to be Malaysia’s best selling MPV.

“We broke two records in 2010, the first with the highest ever yearly registered sales. Last December, Perodua also achieved its highest monthly sales registration of 19,400 units, beating our previous record of 18,500 units achieved in March 2010,” Aminar revealed.

Perodua’s market share of the Malaysian auto market stands at 31.2% of a forecasted total industry volume of 605,000 units. The company’s TIV prediction for 2011 is 610,000 units, and it wants to sell 4% more cars, or 195,000 units. This year’s market share target is 32%.

Besides the new model launch, 2011 will see Perodua open a new E-AT (electronic automatic transmission) plant that will churn out automatic gearboxes. A ground breaking ceremony will happen in March or April, and the RM250 million plant is expected to start operating next year. Initially, it will churn out 130,000 units per year before achieving 200,000 units annually. With this, Perodua will not need to import gearboxes from Japan anymore, and exports are likely.

      Congratulation to P2! You maybe not the best but at least you’re the alternative other than the typical “milo junk” we use to buy from tanjung malim.

      This prove to Malaysians that P1 are way behind.

    Well done P2!

    I want to give a good word to P2 marketing team. They have done their work properly and bring P2 to right marketing strategy…

    When they sell MYVI, they are giving us an impression that buying a CKD Japanese Dahaisu Boon with Toyota engineering… This make people fill it is value for their money event I would say that Persona should be the choice at the almost same price level. They managed to re-segment themself…

    When they lauching ALZA, they segment themself as Sedan with + point of bonus 2 extra seat when needed. This segment their car to those small family where they might need extra seat ocationally when they cary in-law. If they would segment themself as MPV, people remark negative as it is too small compare with MPV…

      saw my funny mechanic put proton ATF into my myvi, telling me, they are the same. -_-. and P1 ATF is more expensive somemore. hope it wont spoilt my gearbox.

            yea, use our tax money for you to play? Open one factory to sustain a R&D Team? you sound smarter than you are. f00l.

            why dont we use the money to open university? how big is the funny Rehat Dan Duduk Team in P1? 100 person?

            the money can open 10 university for 10000 ppl graduates every year.

            You do not need to proof you can R&D, by opening a car company.

            You wanna learn do business, do you go uni study? or you apply 1 million loan and open company, and tutup in 1 year?

            yea, our tax money is cheap, and we all know who pay tax the most.

          • the problem is…. they did give the money to university like what you said here… do you remember couple of weeks before in paultan… they give money to UTM to conduct research for EV car… and the result is they will create so many phd scholar…. another example is in UPM… there is a research support by Proton (5million to be exact) where they (UPM) needs to transform the campro engine from using the petrol into using purely gas (NGV) with lower power loss, and direct injection… the engine is completed.. and the result is? many phd scholar, master student and also bachelor student completed their study… and you know what?? these are what we need….. we need both, money for university to do any FUNDAMENTAL research… and also industry research… so that people can recognize us.. you know what?? those mat salleh will not or never do citation on what our university research… so, if you do research, and at the same time you have background in it, in this case, an automotive player, they will start to look at us….

            and this is not only about business my friend…. government money is not for you to do business, it is meant to be invest to increase our economy productivity… it is a long term investment… like tourism sector… they did the advertisement long ago during year 90’s, the result is what we see now.. malaysia is one of the best place to be visited by foreigners….

            i do agree that it is also encourage corruption for example… but this is what we need… you dont see any research department here in malaysia with solely responsible in doing research for a new product… most of the company that have RND in malaysia are only to test their product so that it can be sold in malaysia… we lack of company that does pure research other than this GLCs… reasons?? because they only think that we dont have the capabilities….

      Where is Potong profit goes to? oh ya, someone’s pocket. or should say WHY P1 doesnt make money? oh ya, they are buying HIGH COST local made parts supplying.

      now blame the consumer dont support P1? its a consumer choice. I think lots of P1 management hope Bolehland only have 1 brand car to sell. Thats their mind set.

      I am so glad the long ago that MEC failed. Or else you think we can have such competitive price of LCDs, or other electrical products now?

  • impressive performance obviously, congrats to the perodua team.

    am keen to know what is the approximate local content/local value-add for each of the unit sold.

    also, can the myvi, alza etc from the perodua stable be exported to our neighbours. are there export restrictions by daihatsu and toyota?

    great if someone can share this info. i think it is useful to understand this from a industry-building perspective.

    thnks sifus

    Congratulations P2 on achieving record sales in 2010. But beware of the precipice. Ensure that when you fall from the top (and it’s always certain that you’ll fall, just ask Toyota or even Proton among others), you’ll land softly.

      Agree! I’ve installed Ultra Racing front strut & rear strut bar, also the fender bar. Then with G.A.B HA-S Series Hi-Low adjustable suspension, the ride is superb!! combined with other ‘unseen’ mods under then hood and upgraded brake rotors+pads! (Stock rims & ContinentalContact1 Tyres) One buddy and a colleague of mine says my ride & handling feels similar to their Vios… =D

    Just want to clarify something, you said Perodua sold 176,400 units in 2008 but the chart says 167,400 units. Also is the 2010 sales of 188,600 units confirmed? Cause there’s a big jump in units sold compared to 2009 sales. Either it’s a job well done to Perodua. Could still remember when my mom had their first-gen kancils which was essentially just a box with 4 wheels.

      “The 188,600 vehicles sold in 2010 is also breaks the company’s all time record of 176,400 units from 2008.”

      Is there a mistake? I think it should be 167,400 units from 2008 according to the graph or unless the graph was a mistake?

      With the new factory, does Perodua assemble together the new E-AT transmission parts or manufacture them?

      Top sales in homeland. They should capture the global markets like how the Hyundai/Kia did but unfortunately there are restrictions from the stakeholder of Daihatsu and Toyota. So there’s nothing to be proud of lah actually.

      Of course the 2010 figures are confirmed, the slides you see above were taken from the MD’s presentation.

      Regarding the 2008 sales figure, 167,400 as per the chart is correct. The “176,400” figure was taken from Perodua’s press release, which had an error. We have notified them.

    This is a very impressive set of numbers, good job P2 hope to see better performance in 2011.

    Anyone has sales figures of P1’s Inspira? I test drove one a couple of weeks ago and must say its ride comfort and handling is top of its class. Totally surprised by how good it is, almost drove the car home during the test session. I really wonder if the Inspira can actually win over the would be buyers of City, Vios and Korean cars.

    Anyway, I think there is nothing wrong for P1 and P2 to do more rebadge, not many car makers can do everything on their own these days.

      to be honest i rather be driving a car from one of those makers that can do their own thing, before i got my livina i was testing a Focus tdci and if i had my way i would have got that one instead just for the joy of driving and its frugality. but right now, a myvi for city use and the livina a long distance cruiser hits the spot for me at least. sorry proton there is nothing your lame duck, crutch-ridden products got that i want.

    All the proton fanboys butthurt? The fact is myvi which is so muchmore expensive then the ” good” saga sold more than the saga.

    Protons mpv which is touted as the real Mpv sold less than Alza.

    Even viva which is so expensive for a small car managed to sell so many units.

    Conclusion: i feel very proud of perodua cause they manage to tapau Proton especially when p1 has been in the market longer. It shows customers trust p2 more than p1. So yeah P1 fanboys stop being sore losers and just admit u lost!

    So Butthurt p1 fanboys, pls go screw ur ceo cause drastic changes must be made.

      Lets be honest, most people buy P2 because of that. You can call me a “Butthurt P1 fanboy” but the truth is simply that. I mean, I’ve driven my cousin’s Viva and….blech. Not to mention problems with the Myvi that most P2 fanboys often gloss over.

      Besides, Saga & Myvi sales not that much big difference. Its not like Myvi sells 50% more than Saga. If you see month to month sometimes Myvi sells more, sometimes Saga sells more. From the data I got from CBT website, in November Saga sold more cars, while in May if not mistaken Myvi sales were higher. If only they break up the data to show sales figures by car editions eg. Saga SE, Myvi SE, LE, Standard etc., then we can actually analyze in detail the true competitiveness between the two cars. Anybody with a membership to the Malaysia Automotive Association who have access to the data?

    Another dimwit, even local sales also cant top for a company receiving backing frm gment and you want to compare export sales? If perodua did export their cars, proton would hv been long gone!

    To Tiadiad, the fact is ur saga is so much cheaper than myvi so it shud pawn myvi sales by say at least 20%?

    But sad to say out of 12 months last year , myvi led the sales chart most of the year.

    So in a nutshell, its not how cheap u price ur cars, but how much u care for ur customers.

    Proton i can say Their service center is crap.p2 on the other hand values its customers.

    And of course Perodua like to bragging about they stiil number one but proton is not much behind in term of total revenue. I can see Saga will beat Myvi in 2011
