Perodua launched the Viva Elite Exclusive Edition in Sabah yesterday following the Peninsular launch two weeks ago, adding sales momentum to its best seller in East Malaysia. The small car maker aims to sell 600 units of the RM42,000 leather equipped Exclusive Edition per month.
According to Perodua MD Datuk Aminar Rashid Salleh, a total of 240,000 Vivas have been sold since it was launched in 2007 and the high spec Viva Elite is the best selling variant of the range from January to October this year, accounting for 41.4% or 24,000 units from a total of 58,000 units.
In East Malaysia, Aminar said that the Viva is the company’s best selling model at nearly 50% of total sales. “Of the 21,300 vehicles sold in East Malaysia, Sabah contributes 46% to our sales in this region and I believe this market still has a lot of room to grow,” Aminar told Bernama.
The firm has high hopes on East Malaysia. “Sabah and Sarawak are our fastest growing regions with nearly 14% contribution or 21,300 vehicles to our overall sales so far this year. We aim to increase sales contribution from this region from its current to 20% within five years,” he added. Perodua is the market leader in East Malaysia with nearly 35% of total industry volume.

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments reflect mixed sentiments on Perodua’s sales growth and reputation, with many emphasizing its reliability, fuel efficiency, and value for money, especially in East Malaysia. Some praise Perodua’s customer service and resale value, while others criticize the quality and safety features compared to brands like Toyota and Honda. There’s considerable banter about the ongoing “car wars” between Perodua and Proton supporters, with debates about safety, build quality, and technological innovation. Several comments mention that Perodua rebadges Daihatsu and Toyota models, which some view as a strength, and others see as a lack of innovation. Overall, the tone varies from supportive to skeptical, but many acknowledge Perodua’s significant market presence and the loyalty of its customers.
