Honda Malaysia has announced its numbers for the first half of 2019, recording a total sales of more than 44,200 units, with May being the highest at 10,500 vehicles. Based on internal figures, the company claims to maintain its position at the top of the non-national segment. Its year-to-date total industry volume (TIV) stands at 15.3%, putting it in second place overall.
To break down those figures, the biggest sales contributor is the City. It’s apparently the most sought-after B-segment model in the country, contributing 34% (or around 15,000 units) to the overall sales.
Behind that is the HR-V, achieving 20% of total sales, followed by the CR-V with 14%. Honda Malaysia claims that the Jazz, City, Civic, HR-V, CR-V, and BR-V continue to lead in their respective non-national segments (as of May 2019), so much so that the wait list for all Honda models is between one to two months.
Company managing director and CEO, Toichi Ishiyama said: I want to take this opportunity to thank all Malaysians for their continuous support and trust in the Honda brand. The first half of 2019 has been challenging but encouraging for us. The Civic reached a milestone of 130,000 units sold while the Jazz delivered the 100,000th unit to its owner.”
“It is truly inspiring for us to see how these two models have become a favourite among Malaysians and we are hoping to achieve more milestones this year. Honda will continue to offer products which are of good quality and advanced technologies as we strive to deliver the best for Malaysians and share the joy of owning a Honda to all our customers,” he added.
Honda Malaysia’s newly appointed COO, Sarly Adle Sarkum said: “It has been a very exciting few weeks for me since I took office. I am impressed with the strong commitment and dedication of the team to bring Honda to greater heights in Malaysia. This has given me the confidence that we are able to take on the challenge to push our sales even further. We would like to thank all our customers for supporting our brand.”

So p1 back to 3rd spot?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Lawa sekejap only p1!
We dont see why Honda City not bestseller with RM7K special rebate. Other Honda models RM4K to RM12K discount. No need D/P
We can expect the CKD X70 to be game over in the end of this year. Because the X70 game over, sales will for sure masuk longkang as X70 is the only Proton model that can sell. Also, kudos to Honda for being able to maintain the game changing amazing sales every year.
Proton gotta payback all loans b4 gameover k.
Cannot stop laughing. Few days ago kerek that become No 2. Siap keluar press release Now, malu only
You don’t know how to read, do you?
syiok sendiri statement like how our local universities are better than OXford University of the UK and how our Proton is better than BMW and Volvo
Majority in Malaysia got syok sendiri syndrome. kononnya can make quality products but all end up as failures.
Better just stick to selling goreng pisang
Yep yep. You should take your own advice.
Only you syiok sendiri make that claims lah! Don’t bring your lowlife BS into here please.
Read la, total sale n monthly sales report by Honda n proton…. Adusss
Proton just ~600 behind
Honda best seller is their smallest range City car which is CKDed here while Proton haven’t unleashed their CKD X70, it is shackled by limited import numbers put up by the government to protect Perodua, Honda & Toyota. Proton is the only auto brand that has an order lead of 35,000 X70s yet to be fulfilled due to this limitation. Once CKD X70 is being produced at full swing, I won’t be surprised if Proton were to end up as overall 2nd place.
Dude…at least DRB hicom is the one who have last laughs. Both Honda and Proton under DRB ‘s helm at the moment..
u failed ur math? honda is 2nd spot becoz of YTD sweetheart..
U failed ur math or u dont know wat is math? Stated clearly there 2nd spot. So? Undeniable 2nd spot there u see. U wanna deny bcos u live in denial ignorant life. At least YTD is overall sales number dude.
YTD, Year To Date. Has the year ended yet?
Rilax bro. No matter how u hate how u deny the number doesnt lie. January to June Honda sales lead proton so whats the big deal? Dont anger urself by hate. Be cool.
Proton still no. 2 in June, YTD Honda still no. 2
U r very funny.
No point if a month or 2 only 2nd spot. We want over all. Winner is winner and loser is loser.
We are only into the 2nd half of the year and you already proclaimed Honda to be the winner? You are the proverbial hare racing against the consistently rising Proton tortoise. Want to guess who was the winner in that race?
He comment Proton go back no.3 which is not true what
And
I also said that Honda still no.2 in YTD, so u r winner can read or loser to read?
Yerp. Haters always deny the true fact. And the fact is they haters will always be haters. Proton til june sales 43,679.
Honda til june sales more than 44,200.
Haters will say 43,679 is more alot than 44,200 because haters failed math.
Mana ada jatuh balik tempat ke-3?? Awak ni tau ke tak tau? Lawa betul lah
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!
Layman only see the ‘spot’ like what u did.
Businessman will see the worrying figure of how much CRV sale is affected by competitor. They used to be on top but X70 has toppled them.
What worst is that X70 is the supposedly inferior China car.
This showed the malaysian market is changing. The first time the market change, Toyota becomes the victim when market smarten up and chooses other make with more equipment at the +-price.
Another thing it indicate is that the market really not affected by the origin country of the car even if from China in the case of X70. Market really has smarten up and wanted their every cents spend worth it. If they sit down like what Toyota did, even Honda will decline when Geely start selling their sedan over here.
No…its not about P1 vs the rest. Its about a dynamic market. If the manufacturer becomes stagnant….well just look at Toyota Malaysia. Its used to be them on the spotlight month after month. Now its Honda….who is next.
Its easy to be on top, to maintain takes a whole different set of skill.
Layman will see spots but only true idiots will cherry pick ‘facts’ and make their case base on such biases. This guy is no different than those Trumpist that pooh-poohed global warming during a snowstorm.
Isn’t your mathematics teacher taught you well in Pendidikan Jasmani dan Kesihatan? and your English teacher mastered your Pendidikan Model 36 nilai murni?
You should go back to tadika bro. Learn english well bro. Since you buta huruf cant read well, let me copy & paste for u bro.
“-Honda Malaysia maintains “second spot” in overall TIV for 1H 2019 – over 44,200 cars sold, City is best seller-”
Have u seen the “second spot” bro? Or you blind? Buta huruf? Which school did u go? YTD is year to date bro, means over all sales volume Jan to June bro. Go school and go tuition more bro.
Expect Honda Sales to be placed third while Proton Sales will be placed at second as overall this year.
(Best) Petronas and Petron (Better Promotion, More Power and Oil Quality is Good
(Good) Caltex (Oil Quality is Good but a bit boring promotion)
(Bad) BHP Petrol (Oil Quality Niam Niam but boring promotion)
(Worst) Shell (Oil Quality not good but better promotion like Ferrari Collection)
But Honda Service Quality and Honda Assembly Quality sucks
this is exactly the truth. those who didnt but honda wont know, and those who bought honda not dare to tell the truth because they are afraid that the second hand value will drop.
Yeahh…sohc engine technology is so advanced!
Once Geely opps sorry Proton intoduces more models, your sales will slide down. Buckle up on yr safety features. Don’t be stingy like Toyota.
Terrible service and very expensive. We have to service the car every 6 months regardless of millage. No more.
Brv top seller in segment?
non-national car my dear…..
Pls set high responsibility and focus on after sales service..
Always target top non national category, but then many unsatisfied clients..
City and Jazz please refresh for 2020
Dear “Pisang & Jet Pejuang”,
Vehicle sales data in June 2019:-
1) Perodua 16000 units
2) Proton 7600 units
3) Honda 6100 units
4) Toyota 5800 units
5) Nissan 2000 units
Yessssss p2 always the winner. Thanks dude u so kind showing p2 the winner. Haha.
Oppo sellers must be very happy since they are outselling iphones. Apple must be the loser in your case. Such delusions.
Figures on paper is essential to see whether the company is on track of it’s target for that year. Example if Honda is targeting to sell 100k cars for 2019 it must achieve 50k for the first half.
44k can be translated as 88k for the full year. But it can also goes either 95k (good) or 80k (not so good).
3 assumptions can be made from the figure
1. Honda is not far off target but need to push more. Need new or refreshed models or bigger discounts to attract buyers.
2. Proton is taking the chunk of honda SUV sales. As reported by proton, it’s sales went up highest since 2015.
3. If TIV sales went down compare to last year (say 275k versus 330k) it shows that overall buying trend is coming down – a signal of slowing economy. Otherwise everything is normal
Far better than proton sales..
Your maths is far from good then.
RIP Mathematics and English
June Proton 7600 units
June Honda 5300 units (new update)
YTD Proton 43600 units
YTD Honda 44200 units
600 units not consider far better sales
Its a matter of time for Proton to overtake Honda now that Proton sold more than Honda for 3 consecutive months
Typical Jaguh Kampung Jepun in Malaysia. Nice brand and all but junk poopy build quality. Outdated engines for current Jazz,city and the overhyped stupid HRV.
Well, we all know that, very soon Proton sales will overtake Honda sales.
Then Honda will claim they are still number 1 in MALAYSIA……… in their respective non-national segments…. Okay… beauty of words yeah yeah
Wah, look at the grudge Proton clowns hold toward Honda now. Last time when they were together, these clowns praise Honda bukan main kow kow, like they going to take over the world.
Why are you defending a company who is so blatantly ripping people off with poor quality cars? I can only assume you have shares in the company or works for them.
Lets result speaks for itself. People are still buying honda despite so much restrictions. You should ask why proton sales is so poor despite getting unfair advantages.
As a consumer, I don’t really care which company is #1 #2 #3. All I want is Quality Value For Money products with good QAQC and taking into account other factors such as running costs, service quality and pricing, perhaps RV (if am not keeping the car longer than 5 years).
If that happens to be company ABC, then I would consider buying it.
I’ve learned that a car is a depreciation asset and I have other commitments that takes priority over the car. Face value is something I can’t afford, so be it.
My money, my choice. If some fanbois isn’t happy with my choice, then he/she is free to fork out his/her own money to buy whichever pleases him/her.
Glad to hear this but I feel Honda quality is quite similar to Proton. Very bad QC, perhaps rush to meets orders so they close one eye. My City bought last year dashboard rattling on driver side. The suspension so bumpy can cause miscarriage. Road roar also so loud at untoleratable levels. I’m not comparing my entry level car to BMW or Mercedes but compared to my friend’s Vios, feels like a cheap car. Ofcourse Pro points is power ada and gaya pun ada.
Vios is cheaper much than a persona
You all are so funny. Of course people are talking about YTD. You want to talk about particular month just because Proton sold more than Honda.
This is like a hospital-ridden loser that loses a fight bragging how he managed to land one particular punch at his opponent.
I’m a proud honda civic 1.5 turbo owner and Honda deserves that spot!
So Accord is not the segment leader? Which other car can it be? I hardly see any Camry or Mazda 6. Don’t even need to mention Nissan, Kia or Hyundai’s offering in the D segment
yeah… Honda.. Power Of Problems.
1) Suspension problem
2) Creaking car frame.
3) Rattling noise cabin even worse than proton cars.
4) Even worse steering rack issue or gearbox problem.
5) Most of service centers sucks. Only can do basic service. When come to inspection, the best answer they can give, this knocking noise is normal sir nothing wrong with your car. WTF… car with knocking noise is normal ?
From proton to toyota…. honda is the worst car i ever have..
