The first two months of 2019 have been fruitful for Perodua, as the national carmaker managed to deliver nearly 37,400 vehicles, which represents a 7.3% year-on-year increase from the corresponding period last year (34,800 units).
“The heightened sales performance is a result of our efforts to further improve our delivery times. While we defer to the Malaysian Automotive Association’s numbers, we estimate our year-to-date market share to stand at 41%,” said Datuk Dr Zahari Husin, managing director at Perodua Sales.
According to the company, 15,000 Myvis, 10,100 Axias, 5,900 Bezzas, 3,600 Aruz and 2,700 Alzas were sold from January to February this year. Production during this period also saw an increase of 6.2% to 36,500 units, from 34,375 units in the same period last year.
Zahari also stated that its newest model, the Aruz, notched up over 13,000 bookings since its launch debut in January, with the AV variant accounting for 85% of bookings (remainder goes to the X).
“We have adjusted our production to reduce the waiting time for the Aruz. This will continue in March as well. We are thankful for your support and your patience, and look forward to serving you for many years to come,” said Zahari.

OMG. This is superb news!!!! ha ha ha cannot stop laughing
P2 sales figures tell it all!!!!
Aruz 13,000 in just one month plus!!!
The real game changing SUV! Proton X70 from China proven to be a game over…. Habisla Proton!
Makin ramai pembeli krete P2 yg bijaksana. Tak payah pening, tak payah fikir… baguih la
Malaysians realise that Proton pay Cybertroopers to busuk nama Perodua.
So, we now support Perodua to padan muka Proton
Theres a bunch of cybertroopers here attacking X70 despite the article being about Perodua?
John become tikus already.. hiding somewhere. he dunno what to say now lolz
I hope PT clear all the dupes here. Always condemning P2 is getting sickening
Malaysians buy Perodua because all money Perodua makes goes to a full Malaysian company. This company then pays income tax to Malaysian Government which uses the money to make our roads, schools and hospitals better
As for Proton, all money for the X70 CBU goes fully to China. Even PRoton does not get any profit from it until it CKDs the car here. So, we make China richer. China is already rich but now, we make China even richer
All Perodua drivers who upgraded from Pijot, P1 and VW were amazed by Perodua car superb reliability and fuel consumption.
Just start the ignition and drive. Everyday, every time you drive. This kinda quality owned by the one and only, Perodua. Rakyat mantap made the change, thumbs up Rakyat Malaysia!
I heard from Proton salesman few thousand orders for the Proton X70 were cancelled by potential customers and placed in the Aruz.
Few thousands! …..I am so happy.
what kind of bodoh statement is this. What is the difference between both? Both owned by foreigner one being a Japanese the other is China. So what’s with the tax. For your knowledge Proton is the 1st national car they have slight advantage over Perodua in terms of taxes incentives etc.. Toyota is actually taking more money back to Japan instead of keeping it in Malaysia lol…
Today, sales figures have proven all the fake news and lies by our resident troll here wrong.
Nobody can run away from the truth. Sales figures can never lie. So shameful in this day and age, you have to come here and bad mouth about Toyota with so many different dupes.
Pls stop your dirty tactics. We trust in P2.
Waiting for our resident basher who always bashes P2 about their quality.
If the quality is so bad, why the sales are very good?
Somemore Perodua company majority owned by Malaysian company UMW and owned by Malaysians. No need to sell to China also can do so well
congratz to p2. Toyota indeed very rajin give toyota engine and quality to perodua. My message to all Perodua drivers, don’t busukkan nama Toyota ok?
Never drive like samseng on the road. we must maintain a good image of our successful companies! High RV ftw!
Proton X70 sales ok laku
Honda HRV sales lagi laku
P2 Aruz sales laku gilerr beb. Malaysia economy real tremendous!! malulah8055ku
Perodua got good japanese work ethics. no lepak, lazy attitude. thats why they can sell so many cars
if cannot buy REAL SUV, no choice but to settle for FAKE SUV. Myvi is a good example, can’t have jazz, go for myvi, if even poorer, go for axia. if most malaysians make average 2k-3k, you think p2 will sell? you boast sell figures, all i see, pathetic way to tell malaysians are underpaid. =)
Pipu buy perodua not because it is good. Pipu buy perodua because it is cheap. Cheap and quality doesn’t always get along.
People buy P2 because it’s cheap not because it’s good. The same reason why kapcai sales are higher than P2.
Perodua sales is so good because they follow Japanese work culture. Work hard. No goyang kaki in opis.
Eh, how come delivered only 2,700? Didn’t they say booking was 13,000? So how come only delivered 2,700? r they lying in their booking numbers?
If toyota gives or shares with u their cars, it means the company will become successful one wei! got quality, reliable one, and also got high RV.
for those who cannot buy my toyota cars, the alternative option is a perodua. all got high RV and quality one!
You mean Perodua did nothing and only tumpang glamour Toyota? MaluapaBO55kurr….
john say nobody buying the Aruz at all…..in apa abang?
18000 units booking Proton X70 also tell you that theX70 is C segment SUV best choice!!
Enough of your lies. We the readers of PT are fed up with your lies about P2.
Enough is enough. Learn to play fair. You wish others well, your brand also will do well.
Learn to be honest and fair
Copy paste edited for context: “I really don’t know how true is Perodua Aruz bookings. Perodua say 13,000 but only delivered 3600. If their sales figures are true how come only can deliver 3600 cars?”
Mind boggling performance
Habisla! now john cannot even become cybertrooper for proton.
May 9 nangis, march 5 nangis lagi sampai banjir!
This is impossible! I cannot take this! This is the end of me!!!!
Ha..ha..ha..Proton X70 dah tapau Produa Aruz
Well done P2! Amazing sales performance.
Consumer confidence coming super strong
February sales volume Proton got 5800 units
Hahahahahahahahahah!
John must be crying reading this.
I told you people, we malaysians want an award-winning reliable japanese car, not china-made car with no RV
When you spend RM100k for a car, you want good history. Japanese Toyota has good history. Malaysians trust the good history
No, when I buy a car I don’t care how good about the history. I care about the here and the now. And what I see now, Toyota cars have terrible value and Perodua cars are underpowered fuel guzzlers for my usage.
Copy paste edited: “As for Perodua, all money for the all Perodua cars goes fully to Japan. Even Perodua does not get any profit from it they said their cars are from Toyota and they need to pay for CKD parts from Toyota. So, we make Japan richer. Japan is already rich but now, we make Japan even richer”
LOL booking doesn’t mean actual sales.
Because of it’s cheap, affordable and attractive price. Proton X50/Binyue should learn this lesson.
Ugly but will sell well in Bolehland
To the resident basher:
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Perodua will continue to dominate local sales for next few years UNLESS Protong or nobody wants Protiga can rival it .
When Toyota/Daihatsu technology is involved,people buy without raising any issue as regards to simple gear box and double vvti engine.They may not be the most powerful or sexy to drive.What consumers want is long term reliability.
Coming back to Aruz,it drives like Avanza cos the rear suspension is not like Livina which uses a torsion beam.
But still people dont mind some minor discomfort and still buy Aruz.
Anyway,national car Protong will have phased out all the campro based cars in 2 yrs time.New Protons by then will be fully rebadged geely cars/mpvs/suvs.
It will be GEELY MALAYSIA BHD with tiger logo.
High time,PERODUA change its name to PERTAMA.
That was quick. Aruz bookings is just right behind the X70’s butt. Price has again proven itself to be a major factor in selling as well as the 2 extra seats. Another Proton model bites the dust I assume?
Nope. Unless ur saying ur 5Series sales lags Myvi sales because it is a lousier car and soon to bite the dust as u had assumed?
Reliability is probably the other factor. The stigma of Made in China is long lasting, despite them making leaps and bounds in tech. As is the trust of Made in Japan. These are facts.
If they weren’t such proud morons, they’d be rebadging the VW Tiguan, instead of the Geely Boyue. That VW deal back then was more or less the same, buy over of Proton.
Rebadge Tiguan? Do you see any of VW local partners rebadge any of their current models? Even in their biggest markets like China, they’d only get to build locally flavoured cars like Santana which aren’t sold back in Germany. Why? Because much like those Japanese, these European folks still holds tight to their technology and advances. Even if Proton were sold to VW, don’t hope you will get the latest cars from Wolfsburg at Proton prices.
Why compare ARUZ and X70?
Because big daddy control pricing of other brands to give unfair advantage to X70.
Paultan writers have spoken, they would still pick Proton X70 even without the price advantage. That showed how well received X70 and the image of Proton is rebounding.
This is the real game changer Perodua Aruz. Proton Iriz is the real game over!
Why are stupid people here comparing the Aruz to the X70?
Yes i agree Aruz is better
Better at being the poorer car.
sales volumes are good due to price tag. majority of malaysian are middle class worker + 3-4 childrens, p2 knows who are thier big portion customer.for those early buyer don’t get mad if end of 19/early 20, p2 will offer a rebate to buy this car.by the way congratulation for the 1st cohort of aruz owner.cheers..
Pricing strategy on X70 had failed.
How many people afford to buy a RM 100K car? For those can afford will go for CRV and CX5.
Proton must act fast to get the X50 and sell below RM 60K.
Again, the Aruz with 7 seaters is a plus advantage against all his competitor.
16,000 people disagreed with your unfounded “opinion”.
I don’t even know why are people like u toxic AF?? both P1 and P2 SUV are different segment stuff and plus the X70 is so posh and premium so it feels like German cars, claimed by professional reviewers. Aruz meanwhile is just a jacked up Avanza with even lower horsepower and torque. If I need to carry 7 people in a car which has even lower torque than a Myvi? Please, I rather buy Alza which is lighter and cheaper or even Exora Turbo if I want to carry loads like a Van when I’m not carrying 7 people.
The Aruz is like taking your stupidity to the next level, I have no issues if it were to offered a 1.6 Corolla Altis engine in it which makes the power at least more sensible towards the size of the Rims and weight. But to have that with a power not much more than a 1.3? No please, it shows that how Daihatsu/Toyota in ASEAN countries are thinking that you are poor and stupid when you breed too much and still want to drive an SUV.
What makes you think it can’t sell at that price? It’s already sold 18,000 units.
37000 units in 2 months? If Proton achieved this figure, they would have kenduri 3 hari, 10 malam to celebrate.
Really then? Following that logical deduction should Ferrari hold a 10 week festival if they achieved 37,000 sales in 2 months? Stupid logic isn’t it?
Ferrari? Seriously? Ferrari? Proton vs Ferrari? Oh man … That show’s the IQ of Proton clowns.
Then why are you comparing Proton with Perodua when both are clearly diverging in their target market? IQ of clowns? I think you take cake, or rather the pie on the face. What a clown!
I’m just using your logical deduction unless you’re telling me the IQ you used to come to that conclusion is that of a clown.
I only see too many Japanese fanboys and salespeople with too much time on their hands.
I do wonder? If their sales were so good, why need to say anything at all? Seems a very desperate act to me. Like everything isn’t well as what they are trying to cover up.
Pay booking on 8thJanuary2019 , bank loan approved on 25thJsnuary2019 till today haven’t receive the Metallic Silver Aruz 2.5AV ,they promised before Chinese New year can get the car, thank you
The Bezza I bought recently was loan approved on the 25th Oct 2018. I received my car on the 13th of January 2019. Then the SA mati2 suruh give 9-10/10 rating if Perodua call for survey.
forever you have to waiting since at the moment only 1.5L variants are available……..
Wow.. How can your aruz can fit 2.5 engine?
I see. Coz previously there’re people who said HRV and BRV will outsell this car before Aruz’s booking result was announced.
Guys, Aruz and X70 is totally different segment lah. X70 is more premium while entry Aruz is basic.
Dun need to reason with that basher troll bro. His logic train is like: what for pipu buy Mesidis S keras when they can buy Biza. Both oso got 4 doors what?. Lolz!
Wow! Figure tells everything. Actually Aruz is good buy compare to other in term of safety. But we can’t compare this to X70. Aruz is more like MPV & SUV type. Best way to compare will be Ertiga and Exora. Well, sales volume keep rising. Meaning to say, many bashed it but self own Aruz also not dare to tell.
can this junk move or not with full load with its inferior 1.5l engine? I can run faster than this junk going up Genting thats for sure…
Of course can, even with ‘inferior’ 1.5 engine also can going up Genting or other mountain road, but very high risk of engine terbakar halfway since need to rev to 6k rpm all the way up in ‘L’ gear plus no bloody temperature gauge to watch out.
13,000 people who cannot afford to buy a CRV or HRV.
You troll most of the time, but this time I find it hard to disagree on what you said.
Ppl who cant afford X70 bought Aruz. They are damn happy until P2 delivers their SUV and they start driving it. Then you will see their face change from happy & excited to disappointment as the day goes by.
