During the launch of the 2017 Honda City facelift today, Honda Malaysia (HMSB) disclosed its recent sales performance up until now (January-February), where it managed to sell 16,287 units (8,594 units in Jan and 7,693 units in Feb).
The result represents a major improvement from the same period last year, whereby the company sold 11,360 units (5,744 units in Jan and 5,616 units in Feb). HMSB has stated it is confident it will hit its 100,000 unit sales target given this encouraging performance.
January 2017 also marked HMSB’s highest-ever domestic market share in the country – 19.2%. More impressively, the figure is the largest (within each country) among all of Honda’s global operations, according to HMSB.
The company ended last year with a sales figure totaling 91,830 units, with a 15.8% domestic market share – the second highest market (within each country) among Honda’s global operations.

Honda, now is the time for you to reward back the customer since we make you No.1 here.
Can’t agree more Ryan. Don’t be like the arrogant UMW… Show us something Honda!!
The combined market share of Hyundai & Kia in their local market, South Korea exceeds 70%.
Malaysians are really ungrateful lot.
honda can only get market share like that in Malaysia… if you go to japan, the market share is very bad. even the japanese don’t like honda as much as malaysians do… LOL
This is the problem with DRB owning Honda and Proton. DRB is making big bucks from Honda, so they use this money to compensate the lazy workers of Proton.
They have no incentive to make the Proton workers work hard. They don’t mind Proton is losing RM4 million per day.
They just use all their untung from Honda sales to compensate.
Better for DRB to completely sell Proton to China Geely like this
Honda…dreams become REALITY.
umw…..DREAMING,DREAMING,DAYDREAMING..sales jatuh teruk.
Where’s sam loo nowadays…
I am happily driviny my Lexus. Work hard you kimchi driver
sam loo is submitting his resume to boon siew honda.. LoL
Nope… He is happily driving his Vios with syok sendiri ‘Lexus’ badge and TRD bodykits on his godcar.
Once Proton is dead, Honda can reach 25-28% market share.
That also depends whether ap got remove or not. without ap, Honda can easily take over 30%
AP nothing to do with honda sales up or down
Honda brand now is taken as classy, decent design, value for money, safe, reliable, good after sale service and of course non proton.
How can the sale not blooming?
But when google “honda problem” – got many results
Honda never claim them problem free. No car brand dare claiming that. Look at the warranty they offer.
Dowan problematic car
Honda model almost lead all classes, be it small sedan, c or d segment, small suv,mid suv…
with only sohc vtec.
Not even the turbo vtec on board (except high spec civic)
may i know from where did u get that amusing facts?
is it from here: https://paultan.org/2017/03/03/consumer-reports-lists-the-top-10-best-cars-of-2017/
I can hear the collective cries of PT resident toyota salesmen thru their poorly insulated cars.
Honda certainly earn it with their aggressive marketing strategy. The vehicle almost updated immediately after global release which show their focus on our small market. No poing supporting the brand that take our small marktet for granted.
Still if Honda wants to achieve higher sales around 115k this year just bring in Mobilio and Ridgline.
I doubt the ridgline will sell, its sold exclusively with a big V6 engine and has no diesel options. Plus is slightly larger than most of our pick ups and definitely will be at a premium. Thou I really wish(and by a miracle) they skip the mobilio and being the adorably cute N-One, turbo 660cc still is able to match some 1.0 here.
I really doubt Honda Malaysia will bring in the cute N-One & Ridgeline actually as they never reach SEA shore. For Mobilio, they won’t bring in this year as it will interrupt the BR-V sales. Only after BR-V begins to slow down only then they will plan to bring in the Mobilio. As HM current strategy is to introduce all new model at least once a year with two face-lift anually.
UMW guys, Malaysian favoured brand will be Honda. So guys can close shop…
toyota mazda subaru to stay but UMW Bermaz Motor Image can go away
So with Proton. Oh wai…
Close em all. No car, only MRT
honda, the power of dream
toyota, time to wake up
Honda always give the best unlike BIG “T”…DRL very class in the headlamps vs ah beng looking Vios and ALMERAH on the bumpers …Big T always upgrade bit by bit until sales down big time only they panic gud example are vios altis
Winning new customers is the first step, Honda. Now, the hard part begins… Keeping your customers. Not just innovative products that’s perceived as value for money but after care service that’s top notch. If after care isn’t top notch, you will lose that customer during his next purchase. Have a strategy to address the service & warranty. Uphold your warranty promises made during time of purchase. Perhaps even have a new division that does upgrades (not bodykits) to power train, like what BMW offers. These upgrades carries factory warranty but more than that, the perception given is that Honda now has a factory approved Tuning House. If the Civic can be developed successfully outside Japan, perhaps this Tuning House can be another success.
How to get faster, SC always full
Sell so much of cars, better beef up their service centers. The waiting time is getting crazy just for normal schedule maintenance service!
Highest global market share. LOL, wake up Honda Malaysia.
Time to bring in the official CKD Fk2 Type R models and every Malaysian Honda fanatics wet dream, the NSX. Sure to sell out in seconds, if limited units are produced.
Confirm loved to death by malaysian drivers in general.
Rest in pieces Toyota, Nissan and Mazda. Time to cease operations only in Malaysia.
Hahaha, excellent comments bro. These bunch of freaks at Honda Malaysia definitely must create CKD FK2 type Rs here made from the low grade parts at Melaka assembly plant.
Low grade or not, it will outsell in seconds at the showroom for sure. LOL
Honda, the power of blinding Malaysian drivers to death with marketing!

The main reason is Honda sells their vehicles at a ‘competitive’ price, but beware ! I bought the HR-V S (lowest grade) with manual AirCon controls/manual thermostat. The fact is this manual thermostat is an alledged ‘dummy’ switch. Turn it to the left or to the right, the temperature is still the same (cold). KAH Motors & Honda Malaysia have taken me on a long goose chase, but to date they don’t admit that they sell the HR-V S model with an alleged faulty false thermostat switch. So buyers beware, you may think you are getting a good deal, consider my experience. Honda Malaysia have not followed this up to resolve the issue. My experience of. Honda Malaysia is absolute rubbish.
DRB Hicom should have done us all a favour and invited Honda to pitch for our national brand. A trusted brand such as this Jap fellow would do wonders for Proton and allow synergies in both their operations locally, primarily giving Honda the option to increase scalability with full utilisation of the Tanjung Malim plant, supporting Pagoh operations and tap into the “highly-complex” vendor ecosystem. Finally, their vast R&D capabilities and tech and filter down to the Proton level allowing for the transformation of Proton into a lucrative and highly appealing sub-brand in the same vein as Skoda. Alternatively, it can replicate the Renault-Mitsubishi-Nissan Alliance business model.
Somehow n surprisingly Honda is not doing as well in Australia compared to ….err Toyota n Mazda, and even the Korean brands. Wondering why…..
Want to exactly why?
1) Malaysian consumers are too brand cautious. Bias towards Honda branded cars only.
2) Wayy to blinded by Honda’s infamous marketing strategies.
3) Too unwise to try out better rivals from Nissan, Mazda, Toyota and Mitsubishi, even the pitiful Hyundai.
