Proton has announced its sales performance for the month of October 2019, and the national carmaker says that 9,503 units were shifted last month, an improvement over the 8,934 units it managed in September. Given that the figure includes both domestic sales as well as exports (the automaker actually recorded 8,685 units domestically in September), the official numbers for the month should only be revealed when the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) releases its vehicle sales data for October.
With sales having propelled it to second in the overall sales table so far this year, Proton says it remains confident of maintaining that position until the end of the year and hitting the 100,000 unit mark in 2019.
Sales of the Saga have undoubtedly helped the achievement so far – the car has now received over 28,000 bookings since its launch, and the 4,273 units that were sold last month meant the model posted its highest sales figure in 51 months.
The automaker added that the cumulative total for the first 10 months of the year, which now stands at 79,833 units (domestic and export), is a 46% improvement over the same period in 2018 in year-to-date numbers. It estimates that its overall market share is now at 16%, representing a 5.2% increase over the previous year.
“We are humbled by the response our products have received from Malaysian car buyers. In the space of just eight months we launched our first SUV and updated all our other models, giving Proton the youngest model range for any car brand in Malaysia. The hard work has paid off with increased sales and we are now confident of being able to sell 100,000 units this year, providing us with a solid base to move forward in 2020 and beyond,” said Proton CEO Li Chunrong.

Tahniah Dr. Li Chunrong ! Terbaekk
Would Proton have succeeded with a local CEO?
why not. Our Perodua’s DS Syed Zainal Abidin and CEO Zainal Abidin Ahmad orso mantap beb..
Proton have succeeded in exporting to Japan during local CEO era. That’s a win.
Yes. The bulk of proton sales are saga and persona. X70 sales were all bookings from last year (pre launched, test drive units etc).
Aruz had affected x70 sales quite bad.. until the x50 comes we wont know.
Dr Li brought with him the cash for proton to breath, overhead expenses and outstanding debts. Proton has yet to make any impact in the international market. The steps taken were too small (bangladesh, brunei etc)
Local CEOs ,like those in DRB only know one way…ask for bailout money in the name of R n D.Hello,MACC Latheefa…please siasat rakyat money diverted to pay cronies altho they r for research and development.
Talk is easy but in the end of the year we will always see game changing Perodua sales in the top while Proton can’t even reach 50k units target
32 years of chance had been given.
If not interested to run business properly, don’t hate foreigners for doing what is necessary.
There are those that use R&R card to hate on Geely. They’d mock other people’s religion, skin colour, and lament the management is not made up of people with same skin colour and religion as them. Pathetic.
About time Proton become true global player with Geely, and that means creed, race and religion are irrelevant. Only merit counts.
So right tok. Those dignifieds no less. They’d mock other people’s religion, skin colour, and lament the management is not made up of people with same skin colour and religion as them. Pathetic. Only merit counts.
interesting framing. Dr. Li wouldnt evevn be the CEO if chedet was still P1 advisor, like how he torpedoed the VW nego just to save his crony vendors.
well done P1 and Dr. Li, and credits to who cleared the path for P1/Geely union.
X80 bila mari?
:p
Too confi

Most of the figures from Hilux….
BRAVO! Well done!
Thor : I knew it.
Yes, I knew this day will come, in 2017 so many naysayers, said Geely merely forced to buy Proton, their true aim is Lotus. But I knew from day 1, this day wasn’t just a possibility, it was inevitable! Proton is destined for greatness with Geely Empire!
When X70 launched, many laughed, who gonna pay rm123k for a bloody Proton/China junk? Well, no one’s laughing now hohohahahahahaha JoaquinPhoenix.jpg
When I say the day will come when Proton will beat P2 for no.1, is there doubt in me? Not even the slightest chance! Why? You wouldn’t get it.
Fist bump bro! Local economy gonna get worst.
even kete B40’s Proton Saga so laku keras wei!!
To the basher: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Some say Perodua sales always 4X of Proton. So, is Perodua going to sell 400k cars this year?
That stupid guy missing already.
2019 Jan to Oct Proton total sales 79833 units, 16% of TIV.
YTD TIV (Oct) = 498956 units.
YTD TIV (Sep) = 442991 units.
2019 October total sales volume = 55965 units.
2019 September total sales volume 44666 units:-
1. Perodua 16978 units @ market share 38%
2. Proton 8685 units @ market share 19%
3. Honda 5752 units @ market share 13%
4. Toyota 5282 units @ market share 12%
5. Nissan 1583 units @ market share 4%

2. Proton 9503 units
3. Honda 7800 units
4. Toyota 6600 units
5. Nissan 2500 units
well done proton
this x70 just launch not more than 1 year and achieve sale record 100k units, Guinness book record in Malaysia car history
Mumm-Ra Bezza lost to Thundercats Saga.
Mumm-Ra Aruz lost to Thunderscats X70.
Rambutans fail to sell 319332 biji because Musang King already sell 79833 biji as per end of October 2019.
It doesn’t matter who “lost” or “won”. It does matter that healthy competition brings down the prices for the consumers.
But Perodua isn’t bringing down their pricing. For Proton it’s a one horse race to make it cheaper for more to afford. Perodua more focused on makeing profits and sending all back to Japan.
The new Axia could’ve been that. Lower price with added value, like better suspension, NVH upgrades, or simply better refinements. P2 could’ve still claim the most affordable new car in the market – refined.
But nope. Here’s an ASA 2.0 that’s… not particularly useful on a friggin Axia. And take away leather seats and resell them back in Gear Up. And lets not forget the newer batches of Myvi’s gearbox and fuel pump issues but no recalls were made. It’s a Myvi, how the heck do you mess up Myvi’s ‘bulletproof’ no hassle status?
Not sure if P2’s new SUV’s gonna pose a threat to X50 tho. They better up their game with Bezza facelift.
Changing statement again?
Ok, i record that.
If GEELY walked away,without coming to rescue poor proton,DRB will have gone 3 more rounds of asking for Billions of Rm in bailout money,in the form of Research & development grants,ultimately benefiting the spineless cronies.
And now the job is done,billions will be dished out to launch protiga again…just never ending sending taxringgit into a huge money pit.
that’s mean najib’s plan is correct to help proton… what a bright solution from oyr expm
The name SAGA itself is a legend since 1985. But old saga n iswara is better less problem than now saga too many problems.
Thats because old cars have almost zero electronics. No efi, or fuzzy intelligent automatics..or power windows.. or andriod head units.. immobiliser etc. Just fill petrol and up you go.
Same was corolla and civic of yesteryeaes.
Same with P2. I never heard that a Myvi mark 1 lost it’s rear axle.
Old saga using carburator, new saga using vvt fi..
The name MYVI itself is a legend since 2005. But old 1st and 2nd gen one is way better less problem than now myvi too many problems due to cost cutting and downgrading to aXAI junk car status.
Old saga built when the japanese were still part of the team.
X70 is really a proven game changer – it really changes the fortune of Proton ever since the launch. I know there are 5 around me who have recently changed to X70 citing confidence of this model.
Next year will be another milestone for them when the X50 is launched and priced between 70k-90k++… and lets not forget the SUV. The strategy is working for Proton
According to Perodua SH supporters, Perodua’s sales are 4 times that of Proton. If this year’s sales of Pronton reached 100,000 units and Perodua could not sell 400,000 units, it means Perodua fail.
thanks to najib…haha
under atok we won’t achieve this figure..
haha..najib amek mc, tuang kerja
go jenjalan, makan angin at johor..
Proton is doing well solely because of Li Chunrong. Li Chunrong in 6 months managed to identify all the leakages and plugged it.
Local abang abang CEOs could not identify any leakages in the past 20 years.
This is why we need more Mainland CEOs to come into Malaysia to help us run our companies and Government bodies.
You will see productivity will tenfold
Later majority think DAP is taking over the country how? they will protest lol
If they think DAP is send by communist China,what more can we say? They r square pegs in a round hole.
I believe DSZ would be able to turn around proton if Tun didn’t meddle with Proton. Look at what happen when he left. Now Geely has saved Proton.
I hope Proton fanboys don’t come here and action. Remember, it is a foreign CEO that saved your company.
Also, it is a foreign China made car, the Geely Boyue that saved your company.
Don’t syiok sendiri when someone else has done all the hardwork.
BTW, the proper word would be “showoff” .. to replace your word “action” because I think you meant “eksyen”.. but yeah, whatever makes you happy. If you’re a salesman of a rival car brand, don’t be scared at Proton. If you are scared, it means Proton has the quality to beat you, and you, and you, and you!! LOL
Foreign Daihatsu have been saving your sorry Perodua ass for 25 years yet you keep coming here to action. So don’t pot calling kettle black.
You mean like you shiok sendiri when the Japanese are doing all the hardwork for ur Perodua? Hahahahaha!
Abang abang run both Proton and Perodua. So, things are the same more or less. Both still rebadger after 30 years
If someone asks me why I buy China rebadge, I’ll reply to them, “Because I’ve been buying rebadge all my life, so why stopped now?” rofl
If they changed the punch cvt to hyundai transmission in persona and iriz, it would be more sales
I have waited 2 months since the beginning registration for the saga… Unfortunately, has not arrived yet… It’s quite a long waiting time…
That’s what happen last time when I bought my Bezza. And last time you don’t need to wait long to get a Proton, it’s always “ready stock”. I hope nowadays Perodua ain’t gonna always have “ready stock” and Proton always have to wait because if that happens, you know what it means.. lwmbawrotf!
Be realistic.. Only between 80k-90k this year..
10 months YTD already have 79833 units. If market share can achieve 18%, November and December can get another 17280 units, total for year 2019 will have 97113 units, less 2887 units.
Its called challenging one self.
Sitting down comfortably wont produce any change.
100,000 Doable at a stretch. 95,000 is my prediction
both proton and perodua are disgrace, unable to sell thier cars in US, Europe and most countries
Proton have sold cars in Japan, so that’s just one less of a disgrace. The other disgrace still remains.
Unable to sell their cars in US, Europe and most countries doesn’t make them a disgrace. Some country might impose ridiculous taxes on Proton or Perodua, same as how non-local brands being treated here. Then they will have concerns about car-parts etc., also same as how we are concerned. At the end of the day, those people rather buy something worth the long run. Furthermore, it’s not like you don’t own or never driven a disgrace before.. wahahaha
Based on above info, Malaysia vehicle sales data in October 2019 by brand will be:-
1. Perodua (Rambutans) – 20034 biji
2. Proton (Musang King) – 9503 biji
3. Honda (Nashi) – 6748 biji
4. Toyota (Shikwasa) – 6221 biji
5. Nissan (Ume) – 1845 biji
Can i order suprima s premium?
Can, while stock last.
Proton X70 is nothing imports! Only boosting China GDP!
I don’t understand this comment even a bit but I’m in a good mood so I just reply anyway. G’day t’you mate!
You don’t need to reply to a Perodua bot, my friend
