Malaysia vehicle sales data for July 2015 by brand

Driven_2014_ep6_Ford_Fiesta_EcoBoost_vs_Honda_Jazz_Hybrid_vs_Mitsubishi_Attrage_-007

It’s still not quite looking up for the automotive industry, based on the sales numbers for the month of July. Though stats show a nominal 2.1% or 1,209-unit increase to 58,646 units (passenger and commercial vehicles combined) compared to the 57,437 units sold the previous month, growth has certainly slowed, given that sales jumped 12.1% from May to June.

More telling is the fact that the total sales figure in July 2015 has dropped by 2.7% or 1,623 units compared to the same period last year. You don’t need a scientist to tell you, then, that the year-to-date figure won’t blow anyone’s socks off either – in total, 380,830 vehicles were sold between January and July 2015, a 3.2% or 12,595 unit drop vis-à-vis the 393,425 units that drove off showroom floors during the same period last year.

As usual, we’ve compiled MAA’s sales data in the table below, sorted by the top performing brands in July 2015. After the sales rush that was the Hari Raya season, most brands have seen downward trends in terms of sales last month.

Don’t tell that, however, to the national makes, who have shown impressive gains compared to the month prior. After a rather odd decrease in June, Perodua has powered forward, selling 1,482 more cars at 17,957 units. But it’s Proton that has raised eyebrows in July with a stunning 18.3% increase in sales to 10,867 units.

Both the top two non-national brands sold less cars last month, but Honda (8,443 units, down 2.6%) suffered a far smaller setback than Toyota (7,308 units, down 18.6%), enabling Honda to retake third place in the sales race. Again, there’s a significant gap to perennial fifth-place finisher Nissan, but while it still registered less than half the vehicles of what Honda did in July, sales were up 10.6% to 4,165 units.

Elsewhere, it’s big gains for Audi (+69.2%), Renault (+54.2%) and Volkswagen (+50%), but bad news for Subaru (-51.6%), Volvo (-37.8%), Mercedes-Benz (-14.1%) and Isuzu (-12.5%).

        Did you see the trend here? People are more opting to buy Proton and Honda. You’ll see once the 3 model and plus Suzuki collaboration for A-segment car coming up in 2016, Proton sales will boost and will be on par with Perodua. By 2017, Proton will regain it position as No.1 carmaker in Malaysia. Well done and kudos for DRB and Proton.

          Enough of Proton bullshit. In 2013, Ah Beng said Proton will be the best seller in 2015.

          Today in 2015, he talkok again saying Proton will be the best seller in 2017.

          I just wanna ask a simple question: Where is Proton hybrid which should be launched in 2008, then 2012, then 2014, then 2015? Still testing on Mars?

        All MAA figures are lies. If other Government departments and enforcement divisions can lie, who can really believe MAA?

        Sales are so bad now. People are so SCARED now to buy anything, whatmore a car?

        One man can songlap 2.6 billion is just one news we know. What about the other times he songlap that we don’t know about? I think it runs to hundreds of billions.

        Taib songlap US$20 billion (RM80 billion) also nothing happen to him. Infact he was rewarded for his songlap and made Governor

        what about the songlaps by the other Menteri and Government officials?

        It all runs to hundreds of billions per annum the Songlap.

        This is why we get low spec lousy cars with super high prices. Our guardians are more interested in Songlap than fighting for the rakyat to get good and safe cars that are also reasonably priced.

      The total number of sushi cars sold numbers is 152k which is more than even P2 sales. Looks like more people want sushi cars than local cars. Since you are talking about Takata it means you also can’t get Ford, VW, BMW and even Ferrari as they also use Takata. Looks like you don’t have much choices left in cars to choose from.

    MAA won’t release official models data, but we can still obtain very accurate figures from third parties who have researched the registration data for new cars. Here’s some of the best-selling cars in Malaysia for H1 2015 (January to June, 6 month total).

        It is clear that people buy Proton because it is cheap, not because it is good. Proton best model Suprima S are sold how many units in 6 months? pathetic 352 units, less than Mini Cooper!

        Even our Hilux easily outsell the “legendary” Iriz. Proton fanboys only Syok Sendiri on the Iriz, they don’t even buy the car themselves.

        Does the best selling Proton model (Saga) has

      however i was very much surprised at the figures between honda city and toyota vios. i was thinking for every 1 vios toyota sells, honda sold 10 city. it turns out vios is still very much popular despite all the negative views thrown in paultan.

      with 6 airbags versus 2 (and other gizmos like VSA), honda only managed to sell 20,775 city against 17,501 of vios.

      for every 10 city honda sold, toyota sells 8 units of vios. pretty good actually. no wonder new vios are all around just as many as honda city.

        The problem is Proton cars can only beat sushi in 1 thing: much cheaper.

    Assuming mean price…
    Perodua Revenue = mean price RM45000 x 126459 = RM5.7bil
    Honda Revenue = mean price RM85000 x 52039 = RM4.4bil
    Proton Revenue = mean price RM50000 x 61073 = RM3.0bil
