Honda has topped Google’s Trending Car Brands for Malaysian searches in January 2015, followed by Toyota, Perodua, Nissan and Mazda, in descending order.
‘Trending’ here refers to search terms that saw the largest increase in the number of searches in that period. It is not to be confused with ‘most searched for’. This definition therefore associates it most commonly with new launches.
Honda’s dominance here comes as little surprise to us. It only launched one model in Malaysia in January (CR-V facelift), but the mighty HR-V gathered an impressive amount of pre-launch interest. Last year, it made the Top 10 Trending Car Models list in Google’s Zeitgeist for Malaysia, and on the day of its launch (February 5), “Honda Hrv” was the top-trending search term in Malaysia, with over 20,000 searches.
Toyota meanwhile, updated two models for 2015 in Malaysia in January – the Vios and Hilux, the latter with a new TRD Sportivo variant. Perodua of course launched the Myvi facelift, while Nissan introduced the X-Trail and Almera facelift. January also saw the local launch of the Mazda 2.

I search for Iriz in Jan’15… satu kali aja hehehe
See! Told you! Japanese car is more reliable and high rv that why it’s high demand!
Yeah, partially because Honda provides better specs (esp. safety) than your tin milo Toyota that costs more for less.
Sam Looooo,I agree with you.I got a shock when I saw the Feb 2105 promotions for Proton Iriz,with discounts ranging from Rm5,000 to rm 8,000.
Proton Iriz,is meant to be game changer but it seems something has changed….its sales has stagnated and plummeted horribly.They have lots of 2014 models piling up.It seems th3e lowest and highest range of Iriz ,are finding a scarcity of buyers.
in some way, the angle of the photo with the model makes the car looks small.
The model very tall.
Does the models come with the car? I’ll buy it if they do! He he he he…….
honda : i search honda jazz & honda hr-v
toyota : i search toyota rush & toyota avanva
Toyota Buyer: I searched “Get Rid of my Toyota at high RV price”. Result – Error 404
Actually, the other top search on Google would be Resale Value of Korean Cars
Sorhai kimchi owners will always try to sell their rotten cabbages to minimize loss, but at the end of the day, they will drive into my yard
no surprise. honda is always the top selling brand in the us, and the us is one of the world’s top auto market country.
Why US? This report is about M-A-L-A-Y-S-I-A !! and Nope, Honda is NOT always the top selling brand in US. In fact, it is far from being the TOP
honda design getting more futuristic .. except for civic which seems boring
better employ you as designer
Dunno if Honda will accept trade-in ?
Will bring wife and car to Honda showroom tomorrow!
Honda will accept the car as trade in but probably not the wife ..
ROFL!! Yes all Honda sales take in cars for trade ins but prices will vary and kimchi will still get the lowest..
My favorite sales rep works in Sec13 branch and has a Japanese name..
Wat if the wife appears exactly like the model in the picture? Hehehe, I would accept the trade in…
Come on all you Honda fanboys. We know you love your HRV. But how many times do you have to search and scan Google to read up on your favourite car? Lol.
The top search was censored, it was actually Pam Anderson, Angelina Jolie, XXX, etc.
BTW, how many of u came here for the white-shorts-model?
a sign of a dying toyota brand….
Upright H badge ma. Malaysians favourite foreign car even though ckd models from melaka.
Why not Honda cars spec is better and safety wise is number 1 . reliability also the best.
