It’s still not quite looking up for the automotive industry, based on the sales numbers for the month of July. Though stats show a nominal 2.1% or 1,209-unit increase to 58,646 units (passenger and commercial vehicles combined) compared to the 57,437 units sold the previous month, growth has certainly slowed, given that sales jumped 12.1% from May to June.
More telling is the fact that the total sales figure in July 2015 has dropped by 2.7% or 1,623 units compared to the same period last year. You don’t need a scientist to tell you, then, that the year-to-date figure won’t blow anyone’s socks off either – in total, 380,830 vehicles were sold between January and July 2015, a 3.2% or 12,595 unit drop vis-à-vis the 393,425 units that drove off showroom floors during the same period last year.
As usual, we’ve compiled MAA’s sales data in the table below, sorted by the top performing brands in July 2015. After the sales rush that was the Hari Raya season, most brands have seen downward trends in terms of sales last month.
Don’t tell that, however, to the national makes, who have shown impressive gains compared to the month prior. After a rather odd decrease in June, Perodua has powered forward, selling 1,482 more cars at 17,957 units. But it’s Proton that has raised eyebrows in July with a stunning 18.3% increase in sales to 10,867 units.
Both the top two non-national brands sold less cars last month, but Honda (8,443 units, down 2.6%) suffered a far smaller setback than Toyota (7,308 units, down 18.6%), enabling Honda to retake third place in the sales race. Again, there’s a significant gap to perennial fifth-place finisher Nissan, but while it still registered less than half the vehicles of what Honda did in July, sales were up 10.6% to 4,165 units.
Elsewhere, it’s big gains for Audi (+69.2%), Renault (+54.2%) and Volkswagen (+50%), but bad news for Subaru (-51.6%), Volvo (-37.8%), Mercedes-Benz (-14.1%) and Isuzu (-12.5%).

Hmm… I thought some brands such as Toyota, Mercedes stopped submitting the data to MAA?
Yet Honda still leading toyota about 2x of the passenger vehicles.
People buy more Honda & demand more Honda,
Honda RV > Toyota…
cc Sam Loo Rubbish coffin Toyota
Congratulation to Perodua & Toyota.. Very good RV car!
Did you see the trend here? People are more opting to buy Proton and Honda. You’ll see once the 3 model and plus Suzuki collaboration for A-segment car coming up in 2016, Proton sales will boost and will be on par with Perodua. By 2017, Proton will regain it position as No.1 carmaker in Malaysia. Well done and kudos for DRB and Proton.
Enough of Proton bullshit. In 2013, Ah Beng said Proton will be the best seller in 2015.
Today in 2015, he talkok again saying Proton will be the best seller in 2017.
I just wanna ask a simple question: Where is Proton hybrid which should be launched in 2008, then 2012, then 2014, then 2015? Still testing on Mars?
DrM says must sell Proton at 120k to have good quality. Say hello to 2017.
Hahaha..Who’s shitting here Same Lorrr? I didn’t supported Proton in 2013 bcause I got my first project with Proton in 2014. U still keep telling lies to Paultan readers. My advise, please concentrate on your Toyoltak passenger sales which in diminishing trend every month. Without the help of your poor look Hiace, I think you should close your plant in Shah Alam.
All MAA figures are lies. If other Government departments and enforcement divisions can lie, who can really believe MAA?
Sales are so bad now. People are so SCARED now to buy anything, whatmore a car?
One man can songlap 2.6 billion is just one news we know. What about the other times he songlap that we don’t know about? I think it runs to hundreds of billions.
Taib songlap US$20 billion (RM80 billion) also nothing happen to him. Infact he was rewarded for his songlap and made Governor
what about the songlaps by the other Menteri and Government officials?
It all runs to hundreds of billions per annum the Songlap.
This is why we get low spec lousy cars with super high prices. Our guardians are more interested in Songlap than fighting for the rakyat to get good and safe cars that are also reasonably priced.
Songlap, u r the one who drunk and songlap here. Piss here and there. Create false fact.
Hyundai and Kia only sold 7000 units in first 6 months, 1/6 of Toyota. Now you know why kimchi RV so bad…
People smart, they just wait those 7000 sozai buying the new car, then buy the used unit from them with dirt cheap price.
OMG…Proton performed badly, Perodua had double of P1 sales…Pity proton…Honda tailgating them…
People buy Proton because it is cheap, not because it is good. If Perodua launch a sedan today, Proton can close shop start selling condom.
People buy Perodua because it is cheap also, not because it is good.
Lelong Lelong !!!

where’s Jeep ?
and why Volvo sales continuously dismal ?
MAA figues cannot be trusted. Aishah used to fight a lot for consumer rights. Then one fine day, Government decided to give her Datukship. Now, Aishah fights for higher car prices, lower spec cars and the maintaining of the AP system.
Cannot really trust anything that comes from MAA. Figures are 100% distorted to show car sales are supposedly good.
Datuk is always now beside Minister in any launch. Soon she will be Director General of RTD.
MAA now fully Government body lah
Kesian kereta yutong tak laku
– who is actually the game changer car?
2015 H1 (Jan – June)
marklines.com
Perodua Axia : 49,851 units
Perodua Myvi : 26,611 units
Proton Iriz : 7,614 units
Need Proton Iriz SV kosong spec 1.6L @ 30k confirm game changer.
Or buy 1 free 1 merdeka promotion.
7K only? Have they delivered all the 17K orders during the launch? Payahlah nak tunggu lama-lama.
Anyway, which other country have they sold to? Nama Global Small Car tapi tak global-global lagi.
Detect 10,867 Macai. Why they cant see Proton destroying our car purchasing since 1985. They still support potong company.
Bodo piang. What option do we have for cheap sedan? It is not because of Proton. Gomen is milking excise duty money of every car sold. Buang BN and see what happen.
These 10,867 peoples who opting Proton are smart whereas most of them choose Iriz, Preve and Suprima which offers 5 star ANCAP, best ride & handling car with good quality at affordable cost.
Be grateful Kerajaan BN has done a lot for us. Tak suka keluar!
and how does that compare to perodua? both of them are under the same protection. i wonder why most keyboard warriors only attack proton while praising perodua? i dont have any hatred for these companies as they are a scapegoat for the government to dig money from us citizens. what makes you think that the demise of proton & perodua will magically cause no tax & excise duty? just work harder malaysian citizen and earn yrself a better car.. if car is not yr priority (using it as a point A to point B) like what most malaysian does, then perodua n proton is there for them (especially in this worsening economy). im babbling now.. whatever. try to appreaciate life n be happier..at least until the next general election :)
lu gila ka?.
Thailand don have national car also tax almost as high as malaysia la. If proton bankrap also gomen will still remain the tax bikos its a damn good income for them to songlap.
otak mana tarok?
Between legs, go figure
You’re destroying logical thinking, better go back to kindergarten
Nobody wants Takata killer airbags, nuff said
The total number of sushi cars sold numbers is 152k which is more than even P2 sales. Looks like more people want sushi cars than local cars. Since you are talking about Takata it means you also can’t get Ford, VW, BMW and even Ferrari as they also use Takata. Looks like you don’t have much choices left in cars to choose from.
Sorry bro. More people prefer Takata killer airbags stuff than Proton safety.
There must be something in Proton that is so bad that people can compromise safety for it. And after 30yrs they still can’t figure that out, instead ask for design competition. (facepalm)
Honda reclaimed the crown off from Toyota
What are you mumbling about? Toyota never stood a chance. Just look at YTD figures, especially passenger cars only Honda almost double Toyota. I am waiting for nissan to beat toyota next…it won’t be long
why STILL CANNOT SEE SALES by INDIVIDUAL MODELS? PaulTAN pls bring up this dumb issue to the MYCC Malaysian Competition Comittee or whatever..wats SOP SECRET AND ANTI MONOPOLY about revealing MONTHLY SALES by INDIVIDUAL CAR MODELS??? which school they came from???
Audi sales are so low
EON / Euromobil are not doing enough. They must invest more and CKD the popular Audi models in Malaysia. Until then, they will only sell peanuts.
Audi gearbox sucks than old 4 speeder

fantastic info Aero ! any numbers for VW models besides polo ? ( just wandering if all the promotion, SE version launched really help )
It is clear that people buy Proton because it is cheap, not because it is good. Proton best model Suprima S are sold how many units in 6 months? pathetic 352 units, less than Mini Cooper!
Even our Hilux easily outsell the “legendary” Iriz. Proton fanboys only Syok Sendiri on the Iriz, they don’t even buy the car themselves.
Does the best selling Proton model (Saga) has
1. VSC? No!
2. 6 airbags? No!
3. EBD? No!
4. Traction Control? No!
5. 5 star ASEANCAP? No!
Milo tin or moving coffin, this is the classic one! Saga BLM even got 1 star in ASEANCAP only.
Is Saga BLM still on sale? No!
Did Virus J have 1 airbag before? Yes!
So go fly ur kite somewhere else! Ur Virus J oso 1 star but double the Saga price!
Does the best selling Vios has
1. VSC? No!
2. 6 airbags? No!
3. EBD? No!
4. Traction Control? No!
5. 5 star ASEANCAP? No!
6. Cheap? No!
Wow good job aero! Thanx for sharing. Was lazy to google :p
Toyota sells more Hilux than the Iriz… betul2 ons and syok sendiri.
your honda CITY definitely wrong. (OVERINFLATED)
***I GOT INTERNAL DATA.
Please give the real figures since you have it.
Good job Aero.
Still more people buy myvi than iriz. Not the myvi killer after all.

Perodua Axia : 49,851 units
Perodua Myvi : 26,611 units
Proton Iriz : 7,614 units
– game changer konon
THANK UR RELIABLE INFO !
Wrong info, not correct
good info there aero.
however i was very much surprised at the figures between honda city and toyota vios. i was thinking for every 1 vios toyota sells, honda sold 10 city. it turns out vios is still very much popular despite all the negative views thrown in paultan.
with 6 airbags versus 2 (and other gizmos like VSA), honda only managed to sell 20,775 city against 17,501 of vios.
for every 10 city honda sold, toyota sells 8 units of vios. pretty good actually. no wonder new vios are all around just as many as honda city.
Jaguar XJ: 33 units?? I dont think so….
Proton is on the up and up. So too its big bro Honda, while P2 is going down with its big bro Toyota.
Malaysian consumers are getting smarter and Sam Loo is crying himself in the jamban car. unfortunate for him, the sound insulation is so poor, walk in customers can hear his wails and straight run to P1/Honda showrooms.
You forgot to add this joke, his best friend is dildo and he bought his son a saga, parked right outside his Cheras flat.
LOL
Proton reality check. Proton sold 10,867 units of 58,646 total. This gives Proton a market share of 18.5%, which is the lowest ever.
Honda’s market share in Japan is 13.9%, Nissan’s is 12.3%.
So 18.5% sounds quite okay…
Car sales in Japan 2014: 5562887 units
Toyota: 1509149 (27.12%)
Honda: 848753 (15.25%)
Suzuki: 787361 (14.15%)
Daihatsu: 708179 (12.73%)
Nissan: 670315 (12.05%)
Mazda: 224359 (4.03)
Subaru: 169552 (3.04%)
Mitsubushi: 125083 (2.24%)
Isuzu: 74556 (1.34%)
Hino: 57422 (1.03%)
Lexus: 44246 (0.79%)
Mitsubushi Fuso: 42509 ((0.76%)
Japan Total Local Makes: 5261484 (94.58%)
Our total local car sales amount to only 49.24%. We should emulate the Japanese market and have over 90% local cars instead!! So please buy more Proton and support our local economy!!!! Preve, Suprima and Iriz beats any sushi cars in terms of handling, performance and much cheaper too!!
The problem is Proton cars can only beat sushi in 1 thing: much cheaper.
The rest attributes are just syiok sendiri kind.
Caaaannn, p1 got more HPF, lowish torquey engine summore
GM market share in america for July 2015 is 18% and Ford is 14.7%. And both are top 2 manufacturer.
never tot Hyundai is that bad…behind BMW & Merz some more..wow
Assuming mean price…
Perodua Revenue = mean price RM45000 x 126459 = RM5.7bil
Honda Revenue = mean price RM85000 x 52039 = RM4.4bil
Proton Revenue = mean price RM50000 x 61073 = RM3.0bil
Toyota Revenue = mean price RM100000 x 46104 = RM4.6bil
wonder Mazda sales so little beat by Nissasn? But anyhow better than Kimchi and Mitsubishi.
wah Honda Civic not in the list??me hardly see any new Civic wit new reg plate..but many many Artis
Altis beat Civic flaten this time, but Vios n Camry lose to City n Accord.
I saw several masserati but no index here
