The Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) vehicle sales data for the month of November 2017 saw numbers climb again after a strong October. Last month, sales totalled 49,184 vehicles, a 4.6% or 2,143 unit increase from the 47,041 units shifted in October. Year-to-date (YTD) total industry volume was 521,907 units, 1.3% up from the 515,252 units recorded during the same period in 2016.
Here’s a quick breakdown of how most brands performed last month. Four of the top five players continued to register increased sales – market leader Perodua’s numbers went up by 0.9%, while Honda had a 15.6% increase, the biggest percentage gain of the top five.
Toyota’s sales, meanwhile, were up by 9.1%, and Nissan had a marginal increase, aided by sales of commercial vehicles. The only top five player to lose traction was Proton, with sales sliding by 5.4%.
Other gainers included Isuzu (+15.2%), Volkswagen (+20.1%), Volvo (+29.2%), Lexus (+16.7%) and Porsche (+16.7%), while brands that dipped included Mercedes (-9.5%), Peugeot (-14.8%) and Audi (-67.2%).

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Looks like Perodua is going to hit 200k for the year. Pretty amazing.
Mana ekonomi terjejas? TOYOTA overtake proton…
Mercedes, bmw sell more than mazda.
Cukur ekonomi kukuh, terima kasih gst.
Besides home loans,car loans and personal loans are the contributors to a big chunk of default loans and bankruptcies.
Some hardcore car addicts,I was told,get personal loans as downpayment for the hire purchase of brand new cars.They have at least 6-10 hire purchase loans hanging over their heads.
Lets see how the economy performs in 2018.If the repossesors got no time to shit…you know how the economy is doing.
Before the new Myvi, people may consider Iriz because of 2 reasons. It had VSC and more airbags.
Now, Myvi got VSC plus so many airbags PLUS
1) good after sales and first class support
2) Excellent RV. Use 3 years also still can sell RM38k
3) Time tested VVTI Toyota engine worth RM80k from Vios
4) SC never say, “Biasalah bang, ini Proton”
5) FC one of the best in the market
6) Warranty claim also no dispute
7) Perodua is cash rich. They don’t mind when you claim warranty
8) Company not near bankruptcy. They give you high quality expensive parts to make the car.
9) When claiming warranty Perodua company not worried they losing more money cause cash rich
10) Got 5 stars based on 2017-2020 Stringent Protocol. No tipu tipu
11) Perodua make us proud everyday
12) Perodua company tax to gomen amount to BILLIONS
So, of course now the No 1 choice is Myvi
I will also buy new 2018 Myvi if these 2 request fulfilled conditionally:
1) 1.5L comes with manual transmission (whatever single spec also i don’t mind, but AV spec with ASA is most welcomed)
2) Reinstate water temperature gauge, but with digital/bar display if want to look modern since analogue gauge might be outdated for some.
1) so so after sales and low class support
2) Low RV. Use 3 years can sell RM20k but you have to settle th eloan first.
3) Nothing special VVTi engine
4) SC says, “Biasalah bang, ini P2”
5) FC cannot get as claimed
6) Warranty claim has dispute
7) Perodua not cash rich. They mind when you claim warranty
8) They give you low quality cheap parts to make the car.
9) When claiming warranty Perodua company worry they lose momeh
10) Got 5 stars based on 2017-2020 Stringent Protocol. Basher said must be deadaked
11) No proud feeling
12) Perodua company money goes to overlord
leong, then why Proton can only sell 4000 cars this month and Perodua can sell 16,600 cars this months?
4x ganda!!!
Pipu buy P2 becoz its cheap, not becoz its gud
Proton salesman cannot lawan the sales figures by Perodua. 20,000 cars in 1 month.
3 months will be 60,000 cars. Same as 1 year Proton sales.
Have not seen any s90 on the road, what is happening? Poor sales..
Of course cannot lawan P2 coz it got cheaper cars, more buyers
excluding commercial passenger cars, Toyota is nothing to Proton
Geely is applying immense pressure on current bunch of P1 dealers to double the monthly sales.
By march next year…close to 20to 30 % of the dealers would have folded and tons of crony suppliers will be crying to menteri for help for being forced to lower prices of parts by 20 %.
Geely is GILA now.If no profits…I chop, and chop and chop.The era of everlasting perlindungan finally,is coming to a complete halt.
Really? Would like to see some facts to substantiate the claim ‘Geely applying immense pressure’..
Agak2 brape jualan global Proton..
Agak2 brape jualan global Perodua..
local pun tak boleh, mahu global kah?
Mini pun jual lebih global dari local, so nape taboleh?
Excluding protection and soft loan, hard loan from the people, Proton is nothing to anyone.
Siann butthurt
better tutup kedai lah. Sales this year lagi rendah berbanding tahun lepas
Proton got hailat contender???
Toyota….Vios…rm 8K discount.OMG!!!
Sienta 2016 model..rm 12K discount. !!!
These are not true indicators of success.It is just stock clearing,mah.
Come 2018…if UMW can produce top of the table results like Honda malaysia…then it is worth getting excited.
Honda malaysia easily can cross 108,000 units in sales this 2017.
Tak payah pening, tak payah pikir. Beli aje Myvi
Tak pikir tu jadi pening nanti. Beli je Iriz, tak usah bimbang.
It would be nice for UMWT to finish the year in 3rd place provided they can sell enough to vertake boateng.
all DRB brands in red.
Some say Honda is DRB brand wor…
Jepunis supremacy. Banzai !
“Pretty amazing?”….Well there is nothing amazing.It is EXPECTED due to P2’s extraordinary efforts,cost control,QC and immense marketing efforts.
No lepaking,playing politics,no long tea breaks..just sheer hard work.
Congrats….high time, Datuk Aminar change the ancient name of perodua to PERTAMA COS U R PERTAMA BERTURUT TURUT.
Still got lepaking coz rear axle detachable
Wow. Ford only sold 32 passenger cars in November. Sime Darby should stop selling Ford!
Same goes for AUDI brand
AUDI sales is so low and cannot sell especially the New A4 and A6
AUDI is already a dying brand in Malaysia
AUDI is a failure company in Malaysia.
Hardly see any new A6 on the road nowadays despite AUDI fans bragging how good the A6 is. Even A4 is seen slightly more but new ones are still rare scene nowadays.
Perodua Sales Person said, P2 engine = Vios engine in their marketing promotion..That’s why P2 got good sales..Totally different engine specs requirements.. fyi.. P2 is 30% owned by Daihatsu, while Daihatsu is owned by Toyota..
Good work UMW
Even Honda that is fast approaching 100K sales in Msia cannot save Proton from downfall. What jack a China company with 5 stars lobby can do?
Honda will easily hit & exceed 100,000 sales forecast.

So where is this MY thats going bankrupt, that i keep hearing about?
Ja. Some1 bought Lambo.
then you need to consume the medicine regularly. cannot guarantee that you will 100% recover from mental disease, but… you know…
Any reason Volvo and Volvo truck split into 2 separate item? Also, no sales figure for Ferrari?
Btw, Audi sales in Msia is depleting. Time to close shop!
Volvo trucks is a separate Swedish company that owns UD (Nissan trucks) and Renault trucks. Volvo cars is owned by Geely.
Audi is doing well globally. In Malaysia, the Audi dealer su*ks big time.
Volvo cars and Volvo trucks are two completely different companies. Not related to one another.
Volvo cars is under Geely ownership. Volvo trucks and heavy equipment are still under the Swedish if I’m not mistaken.
Volvo Trucks is pure Sweden
Volvo Bus is pure Sweden
Volvo Cars is Chinaman Sweden
Volvo Construction Equipment is pure Sweden
Volvo Penta is pure Sweden
wrong John
Volvo Trucks is pure Sweden owned by swedish
Volvo Bus is pure Sweden owned by swedish
Volvo Cars is pure Sweden owned by Chinese
Volvo Construction Equipment is pure Sweden owned by swedish
Volvo Penta is pure Sweden owned by swedish
Same like Jaguar pure UK owned by indian
Range rover pure Uk owned by indian
Proton has only saga. the rest deemed uncompetitive interms of quality and aftersales . preve , suprima, iriz , exora half dead
I dunno. Preve, Iriz, Exora, Persona2 is selling very well. So many of them on the road.
Lol .. your definition of selling well… rendahnya standard hang.
So many proton in tanjung malim yard
So many P2 in rawang
Why is Toyota behind Honda. This is impossible.
Org malaysia suka honda meh..in USA toyota on top not honda
Actually, how was Great Wall doing? How come it is not in this chart? Or it is under one of those brand?
where is haval
China cars cannot sell in Malaysia. No figures also. But interestingly Proton says China Boyue will sell very well
Becoz P1 is not looking locally but globally. Why confine ownself to be jaguh kampung when the whole world is there?
Good Job to Honda Malaysia for selling so many cars this year, which is 18.8% of the market share. But please improve the quality of your cars and the overall after sales service.
By the way, don’t get misleaded by the sales figure of Toyota. Because Toyota owns many other brands that sells quite a number of cars in Malaysia.
If you add up the sales figures of Perodua, Hino, Daihatsu, Lexus and Toyota together, the whole sales figure to date is 252,784 units. Thats 48.5% of the whole market from Jan-Nov 2017.
If you also add in Subaru sales (which Toyota owns 16.5% of the company), the total sales figure adds up to 257,052 units. Thats 49.3% of the whole market from Jan-Nov 2017. Lets just see what the figure adds up to at the end of the year.
By the way Japanese car companies (includes Perodua, but excludes Proton), have roughly around 77.68% (405,418 units) market share of Malaysia vehicle market from Jan-Nov 2017. That is an astonishing figure!
Even if car prices are one of the highest in the world, bolehlanders are on a buying spree with 9 year loans. How?
Bolehlanders really arent poor but just complain being poor?
I think it’s more about bolehlanders complaining that they’re not rich yet.
I’ve been seeing quite a few Haval cars recently. they’re under which company in the list?
Can anyone tell me why Audi can’t sell in Malaysia? Compared to BMW and Merc
It’s the herd mentality. It happens with the rich as well. Poor buy Myvi.
not luxury enough, simple as that.
