The Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) vehicle sales data for the month of September 2017 saw 40,981 units being delivered, down by 10,739 units from that shifted in August (51,720 units). According to the association, the 20.8% drop in sales was due to a short working month in September and a more stringent vetting process in hire purchase loan approvals.
Only a few brands registered a climb in sales compared to the previous month, as a break down of who sold what in September reveals. The top five players – Perodua (-22.9%), Honda (-18.8%), Proton (-30.3%) and Toyota (-23.9%) and Nissan (-15.6%) – all recorded a dip, as did the likes of Mercedes-Benz (-21.8%), Ford (-24.2%), Mitsubishi (-40.2%), Peugeot (-40.9%) and Renault (-62.5%).
No change with Audi and MINI, both brands selling exactly the same number as they did in August. The few gainers were led by BMW, which registered a 9.5% increase in volume compared to August, enough for it to pip Mercedes in the sales rankings for September.
Volkswagen also saw increased sales (up by 9.8%), with promos continuing to boost sales for the brand. Finally, Subaru had the biggest percentage jump of all the brands, up by 46.7%.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
BMW, Subaru, & VW were throwing prices & promos like no end last month. Hmm… any correlation?
Omg, what happen to Volvo and Lexus. It is still far to catch up with German Benz and Bmw that is one category higher
Geely buy of proton brought bad omen to volvo
Well analysis, shorter month Sep(30days) vs Aug(31days). 1d=20%, 5d=100%. Meaning if Sep17 having 5days PH then will affected sales dropped to zero(0).
Proton global sales just 56K units. haha
Haha laughed at your childish comment
another record breaking year for Proton, now only 50,000 units. Year end, 65,000.
When stock markets all red. means Recession krisis kaming!
Malaysia car market sales YTD is also in BAD OMEN too due to tight liquidity and worst performing stock market in Asia .
At least Volvo has higher YTD sales than Audi. Way to go Volvo !
Well said…DRB euromobil was formerly MBM close rival.
Audi 81, Volvo 78. How can you say Volvo sold more cars? They are neck to neck, with the balance tilted to Audi’s favour
VW went up! Volkswagen cannibalized own Audi sales
Xox Wary,
Your comment is senseless.
How could YTD Audi sales be tilted towards it when YTD volvo sales is much higher than Audi >?
Do you know Mathematics?
That will be another failure for Volvo in Malaysia
What is happening to Audi sales which is one level below BMW and Mercedes?
Audi sales is still better than Volvo. Audi car also one level more luxury than volvo.
Only want to syiok sendiri
Talking Crap !!
Audi is a poor man car . Volvo is actually meant for rich people and they always perceived Audi is way below Volvo .
Even Toyota and Honda are one level higher than Audi and better in terms of value buy.
One category higher. Lol not Anymore. Those germans are for the people who want to show off their money. Volvo is mainly bought by rich people to keep a low status while getting excellent luxury
Flood of pre-reg units. BMW is once again the Official Automotive Partner of recent golf tournament. Year end premium promos…
P1 will be happy if they can get 70K in year end…
so confirm sub 100K, and soon to be 50K target…LOL..
Wow new low. Whatta bottomless pit LOL…
Geely also cannot help like this
Semua mau tunjuk kaya…
Masa raya beli kereta..
Lepas raya tarek kereta.
Common subaru please sell CBU subaru impreza hatchback or sedan unit
Why is infiniti not on this list?
Not necessary to publish Infiniti.
We know it is already becoming a dying brand in Malaysia soon .
At least Jaguar and Land Rover are doing much better than Infiniti. But both of these brands sales are also nothing to shout about too.
September is hungry ghost month, sales all go down everywhere :D
Make Proton, Honda win win, everyone happy except for Perodua
Hopefully Proton sales and Honda sales will improve more better and also Hoping for Perodua sales will keep on dropping
Suzuki got no sold units? Biar betul?
Use the search bar lah
Wake up nissan. Time to replace the distributor.
In one year’s time, both BMW and Mercedes will be selling more cars than Nissan in Malaysia, if the current declines by Nissan continues.
Time to replace the Audi distributor oso.
Not necessary yet
I believe more downside of AUDI sales in coming months even with a new distributor.
Audi design just do not have the charisma and elegance look as before. Moreover Audi pricing is way out for some of their models compare with that of same category,
Make cheaper ckd Audi + 7 years free service & warranty.
Owning an Audi is like owning a piece of junk metal and problematic .
Better option is to go for CKD like Merc , Volvo and BMW .
Volvo is at least one or two level lower than German.
“According to the association, the 20.8% drop in sales was due to a short working month in September and a more stringent vetting process in hire purchase loan approvals.” – Anything new to describe every month ? What nonsense is this ? This association is paid to state the obvious ? Lol
KIA is selling more than Hyundai hmmm….
Kia > All
hey someone buy another lambo
Proton CEO Datuk Ahmad Fuaad Mohd Kenali revealed that the development cost for the Saga is RM150 million. the break-even level for the new Saga is three years if the company sells 5,000 units per month.
Hahahahhahahahhaha.
Lucky he cabut !!!
Why you so worry?
Pity Suzuki
Toyota moving to ???
when i didn’t buy any car, sales went down. when i buy just 1 car, the whole crowd will follow me.
Even Merc a and BMW are selling better than Mazda who say Malaysian are poor and miserable?
They will be after driving them for awhile…
