The month of April 2019 saw a drop in vehicle sales by 4,812 units or 8.78%, with a total of 49,964 vehicles delivered in the month. It’s now time to see how each individual brand performed during said month, and it appears to be a rather mixed bag of results.
Looking at the top five brands in the table, only Proton saw an increase in its sales, with a 14.3% gain from March 2019. On the other hand, the remaining four brands in the upper segment of the sales chart registered declines, including Perodua (-4.9%), Honda (-28.8%), Toyota (-7.4%) and Nissan (-21.6%).
Further down the chart, Mazda went against the downward trend to increase its sales for the month by 28.9%. Below the sixth place mark, brands like Volkswagen (-37.5%), Ford (-17.6%), Kia (-22%) and Renault (-89%) saw a reduction in sales, although Peugeot gained 32.8%.
In the premium segment, sales of Mercedes-Benz vehicles dipped by 28.6%, and the brand is joined by the likes of BMW (-17.6%), Lexus (-50.9%), MINI (-18.2%). Volvo had better fortunes with an improvement of 14.8% from the month prior.

Ppl buying proton for Raya.
True. After raya p1 sales will slump again like usual.
22,141 sales is truly amazing. Perodua once again have make us proud. But below Perodua, there is our first national carmaker. Only can sell 7,011 cars which is very unfortunate.
Next month 10k units
Raya mari, beli kereta. Lepas raya, tarik kereta.
That’s what you said after CNY, but results showed Proton sales is going up and up. Yeah, freezing story bro.
Still not bad p2. Even declined in sales, but p1 increased in sales also still cannot beat p2 sales aiyooooo…. What basher gonna say? Lols.
Aiya, it’ll happen gradually one, you think you can change everything about yourself in one day ah?
Proton is just building their muscles
Sikit-sikit menjadi bukit. A steady and progressive growth built over time is a good indicator of their changing ways. Give them time. I’m sure they can do it.
P2 82800 x RM3k profit = RM248 mill
P1 25292 x RM10k profit = RM253 mil
Hahaha…
DRB-HICOM BERHAD 2019 Q1 Net Profit RM127.8 miilion
UMW HOLDINGS BERHAD 2019 Q1 Net Profit RM86.5 million
P1 number 2 spot in April only. In May will go back down to number 3 spot. Honda will take back number 2 spot again.
Will see
(Like) Huawei
(Dislike) I-Phone
Both are trash, one have lost contract with Google, Qualcomm, etc and one more is an overpriced brand with poor specs. Better go for Xiaomi, Oppo, Vivo, Samsung and Asus
This is perplexing. It is already half year, and Proton sales only 25,000.
In 2018, Proton sales about 55,000. If this goes on, Proton sales will be lower than 2018.
April is half year? Your one year only 8 months in it?
Earn more than last year
You liar, Proton’s sales are 64k in 2018
Every month sales data, we will always see Perodua at the top spot. Why Perodua sales are always the top? Reason is because Perodua is a game changing national company that create many game changers for Msian. Our first company sadly always create game over cars that we actually don’t want. So this can be a lesson for Proton to learn so that Proton can become a game changing company like Perodua
Reason Perodua sell to low class category
It’s always about the price… not even about game changing factor as overly said.. many malaysians’ purchasing power are more to lower to medium price of car. So you know the choices of car are. Put myvi, yaris and jazz at the same price tag, who will finish last?
It is all about the price. Proton pricing all endgame pricing. The only left for Proton is X70.
Dude, don’t u get the point? It’s not about proton nor perodua, It’s all about the pricing of the whole list of cars in Msia and the level of Purchasing Power…
Not sure abt Audi, but jaguar really dying
Lucky for sisma since they are dealer for Volvo too. But they must remind the salesman not to focus sales on land rovers and range Rovers only.
Honda sales dropped a lot in terms of percentage..
To the basher: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Everyone else drop except P1. Double HAHAHAHAHAHA!
Someone says P2 is game changer, so why is sales sliding down bro? Aruz sales ran out of steam so soon? Perhaps it needs Viagra. hahaha!
Proton – UP
Perodua – DOWN
I mentioned this last 2 weeks
Perodua sales always 3X Proton sales despite Proton getting all the help
Perodua car profits also 1/3 of Protons and despite getting all the help, all profits still go back to Japan.
Audi not in the list….
Proton doing well. Keep it up!
Everyone are wondering why Proton never reach the top spot. Reason is because Proton always create game over cars that we dont actually want. Look at Perodua, all of their car sales are amazing. Proves that Perodua always create game changing cars for us. This is why Proton needs to learn a lot from our second national company to be successful
Oh, the fear is strong in this troll.
25,000 sales and it is already nearly half year June.
Proton oh Proton
You can clearly see Proton is starting to pick up momentum. Let’s see how long they can keep it up. Last time, bashing them makes sense: They were a horrible company with even more horrible business sense.
Now however, they are picking up the pieces. The changes made under the new CEO have all been positive changes. The increase in sales reflect this. There’s a chance to see our national car maker Gemilang again. Support them and be positive.
Rome wasn’t built (Or should I say rebuilt) in a day.
Last time basher says P1 will only get 30k sales this year but alredi half year and sales have punch basher “prediction” to heck. Malu apa basherku?
May and June total 14k units, so half year is around 39k units. Toyota half year only got 25k units.
KIA bkn takder sales…takder stock!
Sayonara Nissan
Rakyat ubah to sapot Phroton!
Patriotik rakyat made the right choice!
Perodua no 1
x70 over crv..deswai honda dropped so much while p1 increase. just pray vios/yaris will have very bad sales..such an eyesore
wow, like that all brand except perodua must close shop in Malaysia as they dont reach 100k mark to cover their overhead. No doubt globally they will break 100k mark but just take one make like Honda and do simple math of dividing the sales to number of state then to no of salesman. It just dont make sense they can survive in Malaysia yet they did. This must be some Japanese vodoo or they always got bailout.
Nope, not sleeping.
Last time they spend so much on R&D to built a car from scratch.
Now, they no longer did plus the whipping on their vendor.
U will be surprise how much cost is lowered by years in any manufacturing environment. I dont blame your direct matg method as that is what people outside manufacturing environment will see.
This is pure BS and entirely laughable.
Pretty sad for Ford for only sold 1 passenger vehicle. I wonder why Malaysian have trust on Ranger but not other Ford vehicle. Hyundai sales also terrible, even Peugeot had better sales.
AUDI?
Audi takdak?
How long will Toyota accept being slammed this way? The Vios is an utter failure. A dying whale
Hyundai, the Korean Toyota, meanwhile has just 1/3rd of Kia’s sales. Dealership failure
Why else do u think Toyota salespipu got so much free time to bash other brands here?
Toyota closed soon, YTD only 19k units, how to pay salary to 10000 workers???
Peugeot gained 32.8%? That has no significant bearing when the total monthly sales quantity is just a paltry 174 cars.
That’s just a statistics la bro…
after Mazda, Peugeot was the only one increased in total sales for April (other than commercial vehicles).
Volvo is categorised as Premium btw.
Well done Geely! Hopefully Geely can become the 3rd brand by sales this year.
sabar lah..their sales baru nk up for once..give them time..u can’t expect proton to sell 100k cars in a blink of an eye smh
is it a MustangggGG?
Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional Sdn Bhd (Proton) sold 10,611 cars in May – its highest sales figure in 46 months. (FMT)
Hope this will help the whole national car industry (P1 and P2) to become the pride of the nation again
