According to data supplied by the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA), the month of May saw 50,600 units being registered, an increase of 7,854 units or 18% from April 2017 (42,746 units).
The figure is also higher than in May 2016 by 5,932 units, equivalent to a 13% increase. As for year-to-date sales, that figure stands at 234,186 units, which is 16,065 units or 7% more over the same period last year.
The MAA attributes the boost in sale to a number of factors, including new model launches as well as the pre-Hari Raya festive season deals offered to consumers. For the month of June, the association expects vehicle sales volume to be maintained close to the level attained in May with the continuation of festive deals and a shorter working month.
Meanwhile, production for the month of May peaked at 47,474 units, which is 9,824 units more than in the month of April (37,650 units). Compared to the same month last year (May 2016), the deviation is only 176 units or less than 1% lower.
As for year-to-date production figures, the five month period in 2017 recorded 223,139 units, which is 1,104 units or less than 1% higher than the 222,035 units produced in the same period last year.

A forum and comment section is for comments and discussion.
No need to worry anymore,China money will cover all the losses.It’s up to them to find solution for the good of their investment.For sure I’m eager to see what’s in their pipeline for the next launches.If great as my prediction,they can take my cash.
Ini menunjukkan ekonomi negara berkembang pesat. Walaupun DOJ mengacau, kerajaan tetap fokus menjaga kebajikan rakyat.
Rakyat kebanyakkan tak kesah DoJ pun. Minda semua mau raya!
Balik Raya, tunjok kaya..
Lepas Raya, kenna tarik kete…
sorry DOJ is doing what kita punya law enforcement tak mau atau takut nak buat.
Of cuz our law enforcement takut nak buat fitnah. Dosa tu tau!
U mean judiciary, no separation of powers?
In US, judiciary appointed by Presiden. Ada separation kah?
US? Lari topik…spinn
MY ada DoJ ke? Siapa lari topik…spinn?
Honda Civic too much demand..many waiting list..toyota altis maybe 2016 old stock still in warehouse
Too bad lah. Toyota very lansi last time. The lesson is never take the market for granted.
Agreed. Yet their salesman still lansi come here flog his dead horses by talk bad about other brands. Pitiful fella, pitiful brand.
LOL Proton syiok sendiri. Too bad lah.
If down means bad economy, as some basher says, then up means what ah?
Nazri Aziz : aku nak charge rm20 tourism tax, korang bising macam da nak bankrupt.
Tapi beli kereta mampu pula. Poodah.
Maslan : kan GST da turunkan kos barang, sekarang korang lagi mampu beli kereta!
Najib : aku turunkan harga minyak, korang tak nak puji. Naik harga minyak, salahkan aku. Tapi beli kereta baru, mampu pula. Cakap tak serupa bikin. Nanti aku naikkan harga minyak, tengok korang mampu beli lagi ke tak.
Apa solusinya? Tax the rich, no problemo.
Vely busy time, vely gud bisnes….many car mahu bank lelongg.
No so pessimistic after all.
The sales increase may mean the following:
1.The desire for new cars is ADDICTIVE.
2.Car buyers r willing to commit to 5-10yr h/p loans
in spite of uncertain economy
3.Car buyers unknowingly is contributing to MAA’s sales forecast
4.Car buyers still think the economy is rosy n plain sailing
5.Scorn of preowned units,maybe due to bad experience with used car dealers etc
However,let us realise….nothing is certain in life.
Now banking staff r getting jittery cos of another round of consolidation.Jobs r at stake.
Geely is coming in in grand fashion.Jobs r at stake.
Well,if u still think u wanna commit to buying new cars ,go ahead.But be prepared.
Remember,YOU control loans…not LOans CONTROL YOU.
May is always high. This is because the abang abang need to show they got big car or new car when they balik kampung. This is to show the kampong folks they have done very well in the Bandar and their migration from kampung was worth it.
This is a well known fact. Ask any banker and they will tell you, 1 month before Raya, sales are very high and the banker will tell you, it is to berlagak when going back to kampung. Then next month, got lots of tarik balik
Then pls explain March data.
he cant, cos hes talking out of his arse.
Yup. Hehehe. And look at all the dislikes he did us. We got him riled up real gud.
Buy on downpayment only but still owe the bank for 7,9 years, whats the point of the data again? ohh to show how many were sold. meh.
harga minyak turun, rakyat kaya beli kereta.
