The auto industry in Malaysia is not looking all that rosy, based on the sales results of the first half of 2015. Sales so far this year, including both passenger and commercial vehicles, has seen a marginal 3.3% decrease compared to the same period in 2014 (322,184 vs 333,156 units).
As such, the Malaysian Automotive Association has revised its full year Total Industry Volume (TIV) forecast down from 680,000 to 670,000 units. That’s still 0.5% higher than the 2014 TIV of 666,465, though.
As for the month of June 2015, though, total sales have increased significantly by 12.1%. Exactly 57,437 units of new cars were registered, compared to 51,254 in May.
We have compiled MAA’s sales data in the table below, sorted by the top performing brands in June 2015. As expected, given that it’s the month leading up to Hari Raya, most companies registered positive moves.
Interestingly enough, however, Perodua is the only brand in the top 20 list to have sold less vehicles compared to the month prior. Perodua registered 16,475 units in June, 815 less than in May. In stark contrast is Proton, which went up by 11.9% in the same month.
Not many surprises lie further down the table. Toyota (8,989 units, up 19.0%) and Honda (8,668, up 39.3%) are neck and neck in third and fourth places, though Honda is still up in third place overall in terms of year-to-date performance. As always, Nissan (3,765, up 14.0%) is fifth on the list, though it sold less than half of what Toyota/Honda managed.
Elsewhere, Isuzu (+35.2%), Ford (+56.7%), Mitsubishi (+33.0%) and Volkswagen (+38.1%) all registered big strides. Left with less positive numbers are Chevrolet (-22.9%), Land Rover (-25.8%) and Renault (-41.5%).

Mercedes the king of continental here
When a Expensive Brand like Mercedes Benz..
can sell more than:
1. Mazda
2. Kia
3. Hyundai
4. Volkwagen
5. Ford
6. Mitsubishi
The Brand Reputation of these.
Really bad.
Mana ada merce selling more than mazda?
he got the point.
Benz beat Mazda sales in April, 2015.
also. as for now, Benz is still closely behind MAzda.
Benz, starting price RM200k.
MAzda, starting price RM80k..
Mazda is much cheaper, but the sales figure, not at least double of Benz.
Why people do not prefer Mazda? It is all about RV.
Thus you see the pathetic Hyundai and Kia have even less sales.
Sales figure tell you RV is IMPORTANT!!!
I buy car for enjoy not for resale
you need to get your eyes check before comment anything
Maybe Merc salesmen are desperate,
all those people who buy Merc are actually dun have money. After several months, they got the cars on towing truck
Good luck.
So the p1 basher is shutting their mouths up coz p1 sales got increase than plummeting p2
P1 has more model & covers a wider range of buyers compare to P2. So if majority of P2 market comes from mid and below level, this shows the GST & inflation is affecting this group of ppl and has less $$$ to buy/change new car.
look at the bigger picture…
Perodua is expensive car not cheap
People nowadays have more safety awareness than before
Get rid of p2 and Toyota junks moving coffins
merz is uncle car ma, only uncle afford to buy it…most youngsters not affordable and not interested
One day u become uncle,u still cannot.afford buying merz?
Which cave did you just come out from?
more ppl interested to get a BMW, or Mercedes Benz than a Cheap Volkswagen.
We know why…
VW, a car ppl not willing to own it.
Wrong! It means rich getting richer, poor getting poorer.
VW and Audi = Cheap low quality car at luxury car price.
with the new C Class, why not? could already see a bunch out there
Once again Honda rules Passenger Vehicle category as non-national brand
Out of curiosity, why isn’t Citroen on the list?
The brand custodians are bad. Doing nothing to promote the brand.
porsche still sells more cars than volvo lol
This shows.
Volvo brand -> nothing.
Toyota is again no. 1 in non-national segment.
This is bad news for me, as I would expect Hyundai to be in the top 10.
Even VW beat Hyundai. Rats, there goes my supply of used kimchis 12 months later
Hallo, are you dreaming? Ditch the commercial vehicles sales and Honda has better sales than Toyota
Finally people understand Hyundai car are so rough, underpowered and high FC until they rather want to bet on DSG.
I pity those Hyundai owner not dare to accelerate more due to this. No wonder Hyundai overtook Nissan as the most famous right-lane road hogger.
Ofcourse vw sales increase. They were selling cars at cost. 0 deposit and 0 interest. Pity those who bought before promo. Second hand cars value also almost 0 already. Sigh.
Toyota is actually second place as Honda has a 4800 unit lead over Toyota overall.
Mercedes is the best
Until to date 108.5k ppls got plenty of cash bought expensive car in Malaysia, bravo.
Bukti rakyat Malaysia tak terkesan dgn GST & kos sara hidup yg tinggi, ramai yg beli kereta. – Ahmad Maslan
108.5k? Do u know u are talking about 0.38% population?…is that a lot to u?
Do u know what I talking about? Go find 108.5k in the chart laa…
It should be,
Until to date, 90 percent out of 38,796 ppls got plenty of cash or i rather say lots of debt to bank to bought very expensive and dangerous jamban junk cars in Malaysia, double bravo (pay around or over RM100k to get a junk, somemore without stability control that most of them if not all have stability control equipped).
where is great wall?
toyota’s passenger vehicle lagging behind honda as expected
Proton’s going up. Perodua’s going down.
Oh and Toyota discount 7k for vios. More if you can squeeze the salesman.
What about Infiniti?
How come no Great Wall brand?
the wall is so thick even MAA cant get sales data from them
This brand only looks “Great on Wall”
Wat about sales by indivudual models, suddenly some geniuses at MYCC decided it is illegal to share such data, paultan pls bring tis ridiculous issue up…
Happy to see Proton sales up. Malaysians need to wake up and be more safety conscious. Boycott cars with bad safety spec and support safer cars like Honda, KIA, Hyundai, Ford and even Proton!!
Volvo sales is really pathetic…considering they have quite a number of models
can’t believe ford and mazda are selling better than korean…keep it up!
Why do u guys ask why this brand or that brand not listed? If it sold in significant numbers u think it wdnt be in the list ?? ????
Why infiniti brand is excluded?
How come no Lamborghini and Ferrari sales number?
Without hilux toyota already hailat
That was proton with campro engine…
imagine proton with toyota/honda engine, the sales could be double figure
205Nm CFE already beats 2.0l japs engine, apa lagi lu mau?
When the new Civic 1.5L turbo with 180HP and 260Nm comes out next year your CFE only has 138HP and 205Nm.
Even Toyota is going turbocharged with their latest 2.0L engine having 245HP and 350Nm
When compare with other turbo engines, CFE has less HP, less torque and worst fuel efficiency.
Masih mau CFE lagi??
Yes, more power more prone to bocor and lesser reliable
VTEC bocor!!!
Hahaha the typical Proton fanboy comment. When compare with other turbo engines will have all sort of excuses and reasons but compare CFE with other NA engines instead suddenly its justified!!
Just admit it. Turbo vs turbo Proton CFE is at the lowest end of the spectrum.
NA vs NA Proton cars like the Saga, Persona, Iriz ain’t winning also in terms of efficiency or power.
Conclusion is throw Campro out and get other better engines.
Sushi junks are more like moving coffins, dun care till die
Power is nothing without good handling, lol
So now Japs are lightyears behind p1, Toyota said once dun want to follow turbo route. So now what happens? LOL
Let the whole world laugh @ CFE “Kampung” Engine
Proton should source the new Honda Turbo 1.5L engine and replace the existing Campro for the Preve and Suprima and it will be a best seller.
Audi is such a small seller. Most of the ones you see on the road are recons?
Amazing! Despite having to wait 2 months for spare parts people still buy Ford. Well, some people have to learn the hard way.
Proton is selling 8367 units monthly average last 6 months.It may end up with just 100,000 units this 2015.
Having lost rm800 juta last financial year,it may lose another 600-700 juta this financial year cos of ‘R and D’ costs for Iriz and ailing stepson Lotus.
Proton,you are not out of the woods yet.Still in coma in intensive care.
The shadows are still hovering over poor proton.
looking forward to the next quarter sales figures
WTA, the sales of vehicle for TEKS1M categorize as commercial vehicle?
from my experience there will always be newbies wit zero car knwledegge who buys on impulse buy the cold market brands..the price they pay is alwayz early buyers got raw deal coz after few months got BIG DIscount or price drops to clear stoks..result the early buyers car valur drops further..just look The chevy..vw…naza sutera…206.Volvo s40…Ford Focus sedan..
How to tell the difference if the volume has not been muddled up with Dealers buying up their own cars and selling them as pre-reg later?
Even seen the “Pre-Owned” lots of the luxury marques lately? Wanna good deal? Take ur pick.
Wow!! VW bulit a RMxxx million plant in Pekan but selling less than 700 cars a month!!. -veROI for sure. Kia + peugeot sales is surprisingly less than 1000 units.
VW should up the ante for its “Mobility gaurantee” by topping up warranty period base on the number of days of each VW cars had stayed in a VW worshop. Example; If its had stayed 30days in VW workshop to get its parts in and have it fixed then warranty should be 5 years + 30days.
