Proton has announced its sales performance for the month of February 2020, where it managed to deliver a total 9,974 cars to customers. The figure represents a 17.3% increase from the 8,506 registrations recorded in January as well as a year-on-year increase of over 80% from the same month last year.
Based on its internal data, Proton’s market share for the second month of 2020 is estimated to be at 23.8%, the highest it has been since August 2013 and an increase of 10.3% when compared to February 2019.
According to the national carmaker, three models in its line-up contributed significantly to the encouraging sales result. The first is the Persona, which took the lead in the B-segment sedan class with 2,653 registrations, or nearly double that of its closest competitor.
Meanwhile, 1,973 units of the X70 were delivered during the month and to date, over 7,000 orders have been received for the C-segment SUV since the locally-assembled (CKD) 2020 model launched. Lastly, the Exora continued to hold its advantage in the C-segment MPV class. As for the Saga and Iriz, 3,934 units of the former were delivered in February, while the Iriz climbed to the second spot in the B-segment hatchback category.
“February was a strong sales month for Proton despite the total industry volume (TIV) shrinking compared to January. By being able to maintain our sales growth our market share is now at its highest point in 77 months. Bookings for the 2020 Proton X70 have also been strong so we feel encouraged about our plans for the rest of the year,” said Li Chunrong, CEO of Proton.

Tahniah! Majulah P1! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!
P1, Geely, Mesidis, Volvo, Lotus > all
Luaskan kuasamu P1!
DR.Li ,please bring your entire replacement China SUV/sedan cars right handed version to give a knock out punch to UMW and Tan Chong.Now,passing by your refreshed Blue Signboard showrooms,give us some inkling ,better things are on the horizon.
Ohh ohh… No even mentioned numbers of saga and iriz. Must be bad sales for saga lols. Sure less than 3k saga sold, but p1 claimed got 30k booking muahahahahaha. But delivered below 3k muahahahaha!
So now what u want to proof??… who are u again??…oh ya a nobody… ok so moving on…
Orang pendatang dari Mainland China yang bikin PRoton maju
Betoi. Naik X70 balik kampung, not Alfad velfire.
Malaysia sentiasa mengalukan pendatang yang memberi manfaat dan bukan pendatang yg 60 tahun sini masih tak mau menyumbang pembangunan negara tapi hanya tau complain selama 60 tahun.
Jalan takde pendatang sini 60 tabun dulu, Malaysia sprang masih hutan lagi. Takde bangunan takde jalan Raya. Encik Loke Yew Yang bawa Kereta pertama masuk ke malaysia. Lol.
Yessss. Make Malaysia Great Again
Well said!
P1 only sold 6k in feb. The rest are only booking units but add in sold units. P1 sold figure always fake n lie.
Haha, u jealous ar?
It is even more impressive that Proton achieved nearly 10k sales on a short month like Feb. Give it just 1 more day and likely it would break that 10k barrier. Well done!
Well done! Dr Li Chunrong Well done!
2020 February Perodua only 13500 units?
U mean 13500 myvis? Yes ofkozzzz.
Nope, total sales in February 13,500 units but based on January performance, will be 13,900 units.
Someone said Perodua sales is 4X of Proton? I wonder where is he hiding now.
He change other ID and now talk with “TQ LCR”, “sales figure fake”, “muahahaha (when Proton next month sales drop)”, “P2 game changing” and so on…
This was the only thing that I agree with bossku instead of someone’s wawasan 2020
That’s right. I guess Honda sales are half dead by now..
Overly taxed to overly price to compete fairly with Proton.
Heavy stock clearance delivery of cbu x70… since only 1,900 ckd x70 delivered..
Today, ckd x70 bookings dropped 50% compared to cbu x70. 1st month get 15,000bookings instead of 7,000 bookings…
Jho bak soon to boost Ckd x70 bookings. Hahah.
Can smell fear from honda SA
You forget that taxes were existing when Toyota had achieved 2nd overall sales a couple of years ago. And the same taxes were still here when Honda got 2nd spot just a year ago. Now things haven’t change much in from 2019 to early 2020 but Proton has went up leaps and bounds. Certainly this is more from Proton’s progress rather than any taxation resultant.
DRB simple majoriti shud lead P1, not geely …
DRB is leading the boardroom with Dr Li as CEO. Same as Ghosn was MD of Nissan but their board is lead by those backstabbing Japs.
Hafriz Shah already said “Even if Proton X70 is equally or similarly priced as the then-CRV, still he will go for to buy it, and he did that, live on the ‘Driven web series comparison’ video article in Jan2019. He just highlight the Good Points from the Owner Perspective,
Sincerity at best!
https://youtu.be/Yh77KqM43to
DRB is killing Honda by raising prices.Maybe,they try to make a fast buck,as Geely propelled Protong into some maiden profits,with a commendable performance.
A China national work tirelessly 12 hours daily 6 days a week to save proton from bankruptcy.SHAME on our DRB dudes who relax more than work.Dr.Li deserves a Tan Sri ship for such excellent work ethics and professionalism.
oh need not worry. li chunrong will not only be conferred datukship but also citizenship when he’s done his job.
Unlike backstabbing Japanese that relax more than work but became envious of their saviour CEO, Dr Li can be assured Proton won’t throw him under the bus and in the jail cell. He won’t become extra famous as an international fugitive whose crime was only to save a company near bankruptcy. He could be made an honorary Datuk like Jackie Chan if not outright an honorary citizen.
Really motivating news for Proton. Keep up the momentum.
We should give Datukship to Li Chunrong. The previous abang abangs CEOs who failed Proton for past 20 years should be prosecuted as they did not see the leakages that made Proton bankrupt.
How did a foreigner plug all these leaks in 6 months?
Abang2 are not capable of running P1, let alone the country
It is good that you realised your Perodua is such a failure. Now please close it down and let Proton be the sole national carmaker again and you will see it flourish like never before with local management expertise and China money which Proton lacked.
By kicking out Tun cronies. Something the previous CEOs could not do as long as the old man was in Proton. Kudos to Najib for doing the right thing even when it costed him his premiership.
I guess their biggest mistake was to leave the european market in the 1990s. The Wira’s and Satria’s were loved in Europe and still can be seen on european roads. A comeback after 25 years is costly and therefore unlikely, especially after the bad experiences the Chinese made when they tried to penetrate the EU car market.
typical malaysian.
randomly see some proton articles oversea feels so glory.
it was just a rebadged Mitsubishi angkat and Factory Pasang only.
If it was that easy, why didn’t Mitsu do it?
Yes, should continue rebadged is their speciality, after this should rebadge TATA and sale another 25% share.

Definately a space grey X70 Premium RM119,000. The Bal of RM54,000 goes to Saga, oops wait Saga manual STD only just RM32,000, so 54-32=RM22,000, Huge Bal for a set new Tyre and Fuel. The cabin and storage space are Good enough for a family of 4
Quickly launch the most anticipated X50.
Sure your manufacturing facility won’t be able to keep up despite running 2 shift
Some one got said it before: Good things comes to those who wait.
So I would prefer they do a good job at CKDing the cars and make new owners happy from the launch itself.
Where are all the haters now?! All this talk about selling the company to foreigners, CEO being Chinese, etc. is now silenced by pure economic commonsense. Good job, Proton! Where’s that X50 at?!
Some one got said it before: Good things comes to those who wait.
outdated already…
By what? Dinosaurs from Perodua? Hahaha
So, you’re one of the smartphone mentality person.. Well, here’s a news for you, a car model doesn’t considered as outdated if it’s only a year old, unlike smartphones..
Are you talking about PPBM PM?
Oh he was a savvy gambler. Either he stuck it out and waited until Najib leaves or betrayed him and end up in current situation, he still would have became PM. History once again proves those who waited patiently would get their rewards and those pm-chaffing-while-waiting would get their comeuppance.
IFS Report predicted Debut on Oct-Nov2020 (not from Proton)
Still a long way to go, but the upside is, u got more time, several months in advance to save – for a bigger downpayment, flashing big impression on Sales Dept, yes?
this happens when u sell things ppl wanna buy
not sum reskinned 8th generation accord
That is still on sale albeit the demand is understandingly much less than for Saga or Persona but Proton board did the right thing to do a reskin and save development money instead of a totally new development.
Proton is rising up from their grave. Lesson learned hard way. Currently their product lineups is quite refreshing. Let’s hope they never again trash people’s trust with subpar products.
“while the Iriz climbed to the second spot in the B-segment hatchback category.”
The Iriz was never a bad car (actually, you can see quite a lot of them in Penang and Kedah, possibbly because the average speed there is higher and drivers don’t notice any problems with it’s CVT).
But it’s interesting, that the X70 even helps to bring up Iriz sales numbers.
when i count them, the ratio is low….
I see Honda Jazz more
You need to work on that maths.
U count in Honda showroom area definitely is more.
The hype from X70 what drives people to look at Proton again, it’s kinda a ‘halo car’ for proton (at least for now) . Thus, free marketing for their brand and people take look at other car in their lineups as well.
That’s why halo car is important for car makers, it’s a high-level marketing strategy, represents the technological advancement for the car maker, and people believe it will trickle down to their other product lineups. Yes, Toyota even bring their suspension setup from GT86 into their Corolla, Camry, C-HR. Honda bring their V-tec Turbo from Type-R into their C-RV, Civic, Accord. Ford bring their Eco Boost from Ford GT into their Focus & Fiesta. And there’s more car makers did the same thing.
I do hope proton will have a halo car instead of just a highly modified rally car. R&D not cheap tho, they have to work it out somehow.
Geeley CEO deserve more than a DATUK .
Give him a “Tan Sri” for saving OUR MONEY POURED into PROTON. ( BILLIONS ).
PLUS :- Luacng the Geeley ICON . See :- https://paultan.org/2020/02/26/geely-icon-launched-in-china-bma-based-suv-with-48v-mild-hybrid-n95-level-air-filtration-from-rm69k/
An outstanding FORWARD and PROGRESSIVE ( HYBRID ) car . First in Malaysia UNDER Proton Name.
if proton launch x50, i think proton each month can sell 100k cars, each year can sell 1.2 mil cars
TIV only 715000 units only.
Timing couldnt better. China has booming auto industry gearing towards Hybrid, AI and Autonomous Driving. IF we hired some mat salleh CEO, would be the end of Proton.
if our politicians can run the country as efficient as Li Chun Rong, our economy will growth and currency strengthen by leaps and boounds. now we’re moving towards regression and we need people like Li even though they aren’t Malaysians to run our country. we need leaders with business mindedness and heart for the country rather than leaders that put priorities for their own personal good.
This is what happens when people change government like they change underwear. They should have valued 60 years of stability and forward thinking vision of PN Najib. Now the country burns.
What is important here is to save more than 100K jobs. When Geely took over Proton, there were lots of sarcasm. Now who is having the last laugh. The large Chinese market is untouched yet as far a Proton is concerned.
Dulu semua majority race tiu tongsan…suruh balik tongsan…now x70 dia semua beli..wah u turn mayak
Many welcomes the Mainlanders but not their inferior imports.
