Proton and Perodua has been at each other’s heels since December last year when Perodua outsold Proton in monthly sales by 99 cars. Perodua’s lead was shortlived when Proton outsold Perodua the following month by 550 cars. In February, Perodua outsold Proton again, beating Proton monthly sales figures by 763 units.
This time however, the Malaysian Automotive Association reports that Perodua’s monthly sales have topped Proton by a massive 4,284 units, making it have a market share of 44% (13,574 units) as opposed to proton’s 30.35% (9,290 units). For every Proton Savvy sold by Proton, Perodua sold 6 Perodua Myvis. The Myvi has proven to be a stunning success.
Hopefully the Proton Satria Replacement Model due to be launched before the end of this month will help with Proton’s downward sliding sales figures.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments reflect a mix of pride and criticism regarding Malaysia's car industry, especially Proton and Perodua. Many are pleased with Perodua surpassing Proton in market share, attributing it to better quality, design, and pricing, while criticizing Proton's poor quality, outdated models, and lack of innovation. Several comments highlight the misconceptions about national car status, questioning ownership structures and calling for Proton to partner with global automakers like Volkswagen or Toyota. There's a sentiment that Proton's protectionist policies through NAP have hindered quality and competitiveness, with some suggesting Proton should close or be privatized. Overall, the tone is critical but hopeful—viewing Perodua's success as a catalyst for better local cars and urging Proton to improve or face decline.
