We kicked off the first installment last month, and here it is, the second one – we’re pleased to present the vehicle sales data in the country for the month of August, courtesy of the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA).
The data of course lists the sales figures from each brand and each model sold in Malaysia, as submitted to MAA by the manufacturers. As before, we’ve put in the previous month’s numbers for comparison (in this case, July’s), and updated the year-to-date (YTD) numbers to see how they’re doing so far as the year progresses.
Having spent a fair bit of time crunching the numbers earlier today, you’ll find some new model listings in the table, as well as some corrected YTD numbers – the base data can be a rather hefty thing to process, and we’re all too human, it seems!
The table includes features such as the ability to sort alphabetically as well as by number of units sold. Just click the column headers to sort. There’s also a little search field at the top right of the table so you can filter the list down to the specific model/brand you want. Bear in mind that the figures are only from official distributors, and grey imports are not included.

Though by and large there are no big surprises, there’s still a fair bit of ebb and flow present, compared to last month. As always, discussion on the matter is welcome.
