Vehicle sales data for the month of October 2015 has finally been announced by the Malaysian Automotive Association and it looks like a positive month for the industry as we approach the year’s end. October’s tally has risen to 55,754 units – an increase of 4,648 units over September’s total vehicle sales figures.
At the top of the charts, Perodua has shown a 19.5% improvement over the previous month, moving a total of 17,305 units against September’s 14,479 units. With a marginal 8% slip, Proton, on the other hand, has dropped behind Honda and Toyota. The Malaysian car maker moved 8,026 units against its previous month’s performance of 8,723 units.
Moving up past Proton, Toyota and Honda made positive strides, marking 14% and 13.1% growths respectively against their previous months’ performances. Toyota had successfully sold 9,000 units, while Honda managed to sell 8,504 units.
Nissan and Mazda have maintained similar performances and positions to the previous month. Ford, previously performing poorer than Mercedes-Benz and Isuzu, surpassed both brands with a 29.9% improvement, selling 1,096 units in October. Lexus also benefitted from a positive incline, showing a 27.4% climb for a total of 200 units sold.
Renault and Porsche were big improvers against previous months’ performances, marking a 72.7% and 86.2% gains over the previous month. Renault had moved 57 units, compared to Porsche’s 54 units.
On the German front, Mercedes-Benz still remains top, but endured a mild drop in performance over the previous month. Still, the marque’s 946 units sold was good enough to keep BMW’s 724 units at bay for another month. Up and coming Audi has successfully maintained its positive performance incline over the months, selling 138 units in October 2015 alone.

Proton is rotting while its Chairman has been busy with Najib’s politics. Looked like Proton is heading straight to the g****
Toyota good or not, sales figure tell. No need talkok bash here bash there. Some say kimchi RV is good, then I ask a simple question: Kimchi total up not even 10% of Toyota. Why would people wanna buy a used kimchi while they don’t even interested on new cars?
Actually if you look at the figures, if you minus toyota commercial unit, Honda passenger car is even higher than Toyota.
So Toyota salesmen are panicking. Ya, please continue with 2 airbags, no tcs, and 4AT.
OMG, I forcasted in Jan 2015 that Protong will end up with 110,ooo units by Dec 2015.
However,it can only achieve around 103,000 units by Dec31.
Protong,you fared worst than even an optimistic/realistic sales forcast by a forum contributor. SHAMBOLIC and PATHETIC.
Honda is definitely going to overtake you and Toyota in 2016.
Divergent Proton and Toyota,but RESURGENT HONDA and even MAZDA.
I wonder how is the sales for GWM?
Have seen quite a number of GW M4 running on the road lately but there is no sales figure from GWM?
Looking at the sales figure, wonder how proton can survive?
Syed Mokhtar so many other monopoly business can lai seong boh har…
U should ask those sale 1 unit in 1 month how to survive, sohai
U die proton won’t die also
This proton sales figure represents the 99% of world wide proton sales. Wonder when proton tutup kedai?
Citroen and Infiniti sales ?
Seems like VW, Hyundai and Kia going to close shop soon..
How can VW(395)+ Hyundai(325) and Kia(256) about the same sales with Mercedes(946) sales??
Toyota passenger cars very slow selling hahaha
Well done Toyota. The revised Camry and all new altis must be strongest contributor on top of vios and hilux.
Year to date difference of only 3k units compare to Honda
Its the vios…,they are throwing 5k-8k rebates at it…always take 4th quarter sales figures with a pinch of salt… It more or less reflects the discounts given rather than demand for a certain model..
Oh … still better than Suprima throwing 16K discount also nobody buying.
Out of 8.5% growth, 6.5% comes from P2. Mainly people are buying cheap cars. Next year can be a disaster for many brands except P2 and Japanese brands.
Some say Proton will be the King in 2016 with many new models waiting to be released.
How many unit from their latest model sold so far?
is this the best joke at the end of 2015? You won it Mr. Nissan…..go claim your free gift proton underwear from dr. M. Congrats!
174832 idiots bought coffins.
EXACTLY…!
Is that kind of comment really necessary?
This sales figure is a joke!, where is infiniti, citroen and great wall? this MAA totally useless. We need a “true” sales figure not this junk table. Please paultan get the real figures from somewhere else.
MAA not receive any duit kopi from some car dearlers, that is why some brands not in the table. Shame on u MAA!
Waaa…how can?with iriz ‘turning point model for proton’ and preve ‘timeless design for global market’ on sale, proton should be on par if not top of perodua.
Take out the sales of commercial vehicles (which Honda doesn’t sell), then tell us how many Toyota is trailing Honda. It’s almost 26k units difference!
Toyota best-seller nowadays is the Hilux, which again Honda doesn’t have an equivalent model. If taken purely from the passenger car perspective, Honda is leading Toyota by a humongous margin.
The figures are even more telling if they exclude privately registered Hilux from its passenger car list.
I wonder if MAA makes that distinction…ie. Commercial includes only vehicles registered under commercial purpose.
Honda is missing from a lot of segments that Toyota now pits the Avanza, Innova, Hilux, Fortuner and its hybrids in..
However you look at it, Toyota is getting slammed by Honda. It has got hit by a 4 combo punch…with the City, Jazz, HRV and the Accord. And coming year, you’d see the new Civic and BRV.
Imagine if the playing field is actually level, bye-bye Proton and Perodua. Automotive industry is highly competitive, is either your up your game or bungkus.
Some dealers don’t bother to send data to MAA. You want the real figures, best is JPJ.
And i wonder why JPJ not bother to display on their website with their millions investment in IT. The data, the tools is all there. Oh, i forgot, they are busy songlaping, makan kuih, main telur…..
And jilak their boss’s kasut too…so where got time for them to do a proper yearly vehicles sales statistic.
Those always commented mazda how good how good and toyota how bad how bad, but look the sales figure. Toyota 70k+, mazda only the poor sales of 10k+. The figures wont lie, toyota win mazda 10 streets. Toyota moving forward. Mazda zoom zoom into longkang
as 4G63T DSM already commented, toyota has cars in many segments which mazda does not participiate in , such as Avanza, Innova, Fortuner and its hybrids in..
That is why you won’t go wrong with sushi cars. Sales figure is the best proof to show how strong sushi cars are doing here. Where are those kimchi supporters? Can only afford a used, low RV kimchi?
Wait till UMW Toyota launch new hilux revo. Sam loo says konfem even perodua also become second.
