The Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) has released new vehicle sales data for the month of June 2016, sorted by brand. While May only saw a marginal increase from the month prior, the more encouraging figures seen in June are likely a result of the numerous Hari Raya deals offered by manufacturers.
For a short recap, 50,981 passenger vehicles and 6,377 commercial vehicles were sold in June, totalling 57,358 units. That last figure represents a jump of 29.5% or 13,175 units from April 2016, although compared to in 2015, is just slightly lower by 78 units. Meanwhile, year-to-date sales amounted to just 279,459 units, trailing 13.28% behind last year’s 322,254 units.
As in the previous month, Perodua continues to occupy the top spot for June 2016, selling 20,044 cars, an increase of 4,797 units (around 31.5% up). Proton also experienced an increase in sales for the month, shifting 6,961 cars, which is 1,897 units more than in May (around 37.4% up). In terms of year-to-date sales, Perodua has shifted 77,326 cars, while Proton sold 28,766 cars.
Moving on, Honda managed to retake its position as the top-selling carmaker in the non-national segment from Toyota (in May) by selling 9,254 cars in June. This represents a hike of 3,595 units or around 63.5%, which sees its year-to-date sales increase to 39,654 units, good for second place overall, above Proton.
Speaking of Toyota, the carmaker managed to deliver 6,803 cars in June, which is just 158 units shy of Proton’s sales. Additionally, the figure represents a marginal increase of 662 units or around 10.8% compared to May, bringing Toyota’s year-to-date sales up to 27,249 units. Just below it, sits Nissan in fifth place, with 4,254 cars sold, up by 1,148 units or around 37%. Mazda takes the seventh spot with 1,295 cars sold, just 101 units or 8.4% more than the previous month.
In the premium segment, Mercedes-Benz remains the class leader, selling 106 more cars (or around 9.4) in June with 1,234 units. BMW also saw a sales increase, albeit a marginal one, with 760 cars, or 35 more than in the previous month.
Other car companies that saw an increase in sales include Ford (+32%), Hyundai (+37%), Subaru (+81%), Volvo (+126.7%) and Renault (+11.6%). Conversely, brands like Volkswagen (-54.8%), MINI (-1.28%), Audi (-40.2%) and Mitsubishi (-7.8%) experienced a dip in sales when compared to the previous month.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
it must be contributed by the Honda civic sales.
Toyota only hold 1 month top non-national lol
for passenger vehicle, Honda 2x more than Sam Loo Toyota
Proton only sold 7000 cars. If what the CEO says is true, that Proton only can make RM500 from each car sold, that means Proton made only RM3.5 million profit for June.
How to pay 12,000 workers? Just to pay 1 director alone is 6 figure salary per month. And the whole BOD alone cost more than RM3.5 million in salary.
So, how to pay the workers?
Read half, make noise like no tomorrow.. i believe 500ringgit profit for saga la.. aiyoo..
Is that monthly & acc top-10 models sales available. ..?
the profit is already deduct the labor cost…the profit normally calculate after deduct the operation cost/direct cost (material, labor and others cost directly to the product)…you should learn about costing…
problem to pay the workers normally not because low profit, but bad cash flow…
u had forgotton toyota has no worry. cant you see it sold almost 140,000 units of cars since all the perodua cars are rebadged daihatsus; which are essentially toyota cars as well.
this means UMW group is doing very well indeed. same goes to toyota motors.
UMW also beat DRB group where toyota+perodua alone is almost 140K while Honda+proton is about 80K.
where it most matters though is that for every perodua sold, toyota motors corp earns royalty.
Tow Yruck business downturn aft VW issues solved, BUT after 2016 Civic the launched, TowTruck business seeing LIGHT again… Tons of design failure of 2016 Civic, from engine overheat after 1week launched, recall of missing engine parts assy, etc… NOW 2016 Civic all park at backyard Honda factory for 2016 year end cheap cheap sales…
Because of your face problem only you get defective unit. Drove the civic for a month and no issues as all. Go drive your P1 or P2 la… Haters gonna hate
Why p1 or p2? Not related la
If you mention like that, Toyota own 16.5% of Subaru share and their sales increase (+81%) also contribute to Toyota?!?
It is sure going to be a record-breaking year for proton. Record breaking as in first time selling below 100,000 units a year, in a long long time.
More like heartbreaking
Last year Proton only sold 100,000 cars. That created a big scandal and Mustapha set up special committee and all the big drama about the RM1.5 bil loan.
Proton said no worries, with RM1.5 bil loan they will pulih semula and be back like good old days.
YTD only only 35,727 cars sold. That is half year to June. That is after big Raya spike in sales. So, another 6 months we can assume another 35,000 sales. So, this year, at most, 70,000 sales.
How to feed the overbloated 12,000 staff??
sleep at work is the culture..no worry..
Do you guys really know how they run a car manufacturing factory? Just because 1 Mat Salih said TIDO, you guys straight away become Burung Kakak Tua. And you guys have forgotten, the Mat Salih was paid hundreds of thousands of Ringgit, to do what? Catch people asleep at work? What good has he done at MAB?
Come on guys, 8 out of 10 Mat Salih working here in Malaysia are no brainer. We are better than them at mostly everything. They can’t even plan it right, especially those Brits, not to mention doing things hands-on. Been there, done that. I talk from experience.
Give your fellow Malaysians some credit la. If you don’t know how a factory is run, watch it on Youtube, at least. How can you sleep when the items you are installing is run at pace? And if you are slow, you’ll get recorded.
Don’t simply accept those Mat Salih’s comment and repeat em like Burung Kakak Tua. Check, and recheck. And don’t simply bash, if you don’t know it.
I work with a vendor supplying parts to proton and perodua. For a meeting, perodua people will always come on time and cancel the meeting 2-3 days before if they can’t make it. As for proton people, the earliest they will arrive is 30 minute late, some up to 3 hours with excuses like meetings and so on. They will also suddenly cancel or call for meeting.
Civic… all parking at backyard to cheap sell year end 2016… Civic sell well…??? Why Honda not dare to announce in press conference Civic sales… ???
airbag defect cars more on the road. worrying
Worry about more accidents and traffic jam on the road cause by slow speed at fast lane.
Observe carefully what car models always do that
Tau takpe. This Proton really menyusahkan.
People with Toyota vios always like to tailgate like they have the fastest car in the world. What I do? I move left and speed up and laugh at them not able to overtake.
>Worry about more accidents and traffic jam on the road cause by slow speed at fast lane.
Usually are Hyundai, Kia, Nissan, Unser, City iDSI, PriusC, Accord, Kembara, Kenari, Kancil, Saga only when the female driver playing handphone, MyVi when the driver are of senior citizen.
The top-3 mentioned car brands (regardless of model, except Grand Livina as I hardly saw one hogging the right lane) as well as Unser are very consistent right-lane slowpoke. They also response very slowly when traffic light turns green.
Airbag defect cars means it includes Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Mitsubishi, Mazda, Ford, VW, Ferrari, Mercedes, BMW. Did i miss any??
By year end, Proton should drop to 6th, below Nissan.
Honda- people’s car
Shoudnt it be p2???
In which part of the world?
Japan? No.
Thailand? No.
China? No.
USA? No.
India? No.
Europe? No.
Africa? No.
Perhaps only in Malaysia… Honda is becoming God’s car.
ytd p2 sold total 97k units or 16k units/month…someone said bezza can sell 10k units/day, are u sure ar?
Last i checked Bezza was launched after mid July and you are looking at the June sales.
I hope he’s not an analyst at proton lol
walao eh, suzuki 0 sales for may & june? i think p1 has just made wrong decision again…as usual
Suzuki no more in Msia.
Not wrong decision, it is normal when a model’s sale are almost zero, it is best to ‘revive’ it by letting others to rebadge or repackage… sort of an arrangement to achieve win-win for both side.
It will be great if Proton rebadge Swift Sport and sold it at Neo CPS price.

Hi, may i know where you get all those data from?
Once Saga and persona launched Proton will reclaim the 1st position. Just wait and see
How? By continuing your effort asking people to wait? Saga 2018?
Maybe once the chinese buyers take over and kick their lazy buttocks
In your dream la. Bezza gonna be Proton-slayer.
Persona and Saga still comes with shitty Campro + Punch junk powertrain. People fed up edi with this junk.
Perodua offer give dual vvti powertrain, Proton eksyen dun wanna take. Go die la.
Punch already a low grade gearbox plus the low torque campro….junk combo
1.0l turbo kickin yo
Another WAIT!! till when?
When they launched Iriz, they will reclaim no 1.. then WAIT
Nk launch Saga n Persona also another WAIT..
WAIT till when roti john??
WHY INFINITI brand not in the list at all??
Because it is infinity…..badumtssss. Bad jokes
MY pipu sudah kaya ke? Thats not what the oppolitikuses says woh!
wow… Toyota is really taking a beating..
Still losing to Honda even after counting the commercial vehicles…
Toyota is not giving a damn. The Vios is still using a year 2004 engine and an ancient 4 speed auto gearbox for the current Vios. Thailand already many months using a new dual vvti engine and new cvt gearbox.
The Hilux also can sell so freaking expensive , close to a C segment cars despite trucks as commercial vehicles does not need to pay excise duty .
UMW going to be in deep shit! LOL! They have nothing except Hilux (also under attack).
Nissan can potential over take Toyota!
When Honda can have more sell than Proton, you see consumer now already abundant Proton!
Merc is killing BMW as well with C kill 3, E kill 5, S kill 7, and GLC kill x3!
Wont be in deep shit.They already had some sort of insurance. Cant you see the new dual VVTI badge in the new Perodua Bezza ??? It is part of Toyota.
Perodua + Toyota combined is 47% of the total sales volumn for June 2016 already.
Very nice info..Appreciated that if Paul Tan’s could provide the information of ‘ Top 10 car model mostly bought in Malaysia’ every month.
Cheers.
Mini sold more than Audi lol
Audi sales dropped 40%. Wonder what happened
Volkswagen Malaysia keep pushing is unsold same old junk and delaying new launch.
Where’s the new Tiguan, Passat, Touran, A4? Vote with your money and stay away from Audi and Volkswagen until they are serious about Malaysian market.
2 years back we used to get the complete info on car models as well, that is more interesting especially for a potential buyer to know which are the most popular cars in each of the segments.
Subaru only got 2 models, both SUV and selling better than Kia, this is amazing.
You can thank the anti competition commission for screwing up us data nerds
Paul tan , pls give the Top Ten cars by models & no. of units sold for each month. thank you.
LOL. UMW only managed to sell just 4100 passenger cars in one month.
That’s 4100 for the combined sales of the Vios, Altis, Camry (and Camry Hybrid), Rush, Fortuner, Avanza, Innova, and the official Alphards and privately registered Hilux.
Toyota salesmen must be hurting bad.
Honda on the other hand sells more than 2x that much.
Keen to know Ford commercial vehicle breakdown (Transit/Ranger). Ranger price increased but still sell so well? I guess sold more than Hilux.
Malaysians are buying almost 43,000 LESS cars in 2016 than in 2015. Thats only in the first 6 months.. this could reach 80,000 units in 12 months. Wow..
No wonder a lot of distributors, especially the ‘cold’ brands, are offering their stocks with heavy discount like never before.
