Proton has announced that it sold 7,615 units for the month of June, the company’s second highest sales figure for the year following that achieved last month, in which 10,611 units were shifted. The numbers for the month are good enough to put the national automaker behind market leader Perodua.
For the month of June, Proton said it ended up with a market share of 18.1%, its highest since July 2015. The company also reported that its sales were 23% higher than the same month last year, and said that June’s numbers have also contributed to an overall sales growth of 61% for the first six months of 2019, putting it on track to achieve its 2019 sales targets.
Leading the way is of course the X70 SUV, of which 15,175 units have been sold in the first half of the year. Meanwhile, the automaker delivered 2,541 units of the Saga in June, and bookings for the the updated Persona, Iriz and Exora enjoyed a growth of 108%, 180% and 135% respectively (in comparison to their pre-booking numbers).
“By achieving a market share of 18.1% in June, Proton continues to show positive sales growth this year despite the tough market conditions following the Hari Raya holidays. Our year to date market share currently stands at 14.7% and is a big improvement of our 2018 figure of 10.8%,” said Proton CEO Li Chunrong.
“For the second half of the year, we will concentrate on building our sales and exciting the market by introducing new and updated models as we promised at the beginning of the year,” he added.

Gongxi CEO, Dr Li Chun! Make Proton great again!!
(Like) Proton X70
(Dislike) Hyundai Santa Fe
Don’t worry, soon Proton sales will be higher due to upcoming Proton X50 and Upcoming CKD X70. So it is already expected Perodua Aruz Sales will lose
arus sales already surpass x70 for 3 consecutive months. and x50 will kills its own brother x70 sales when launching next year june 2020.
Hahahaha! Where did you pull that figure from, your Anuz? X70 have been outselling and outbooked Aruz since it was launched 7 months ago. Paul Tan here have all the real figures, not some made up figures by a jealous Perodua sales staff.
Hopefully they put enough rear axles on stock.
I see more X70 on the road compared to Aruz tsk!
x50 will kill aruz, rush, hrv sales…What you said is very bias…
Arus sungai vs X70?
Joking right…..one is roti kosong while the other is murtabak.
If u cant dance dont blame the floor,
If u cant drive dont blame the car,
If u cant afford it then shut up or work harder.
this is how you run an automotive company…
So right bro. DRB managers much to learn here. DRB can now payback RM1.5 Billion soft loan, although Proton it’s a private company… Lolz
To the basher: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
And tahniah P1!
P1, Geely, Mesidis, Volvo Car, Volvo Trucks, Lotus, L&C, Polestar, SMART > all
Last month 10k sales simply becos of Raya only mah. Balik kampung wanna use new car. Then sales figure back to 6-7k per month. Pity pity p1.
It is expected. What is there to pity? Other brands also similar
What to show off with p1? I don’t think p1 meant to be show off.. Ppl bought p1 because they found something in the drive for daily from A to Z..
As if P1 need your pity. Their sales is increasing every month. Save your pity for those brands that lost sales to P1.
But….those bashers said that x70, fl persona, and fl iriz is game over for Proton? Just wait for the fl saga.
Those monkey basher dont know how to think even in basic form…. So dont bother about them
Tahniah Geely. Without China CEO memang tak boleh jadi.
China came late. But better than never , heheh
Well done Proton! Cannot wait for the X50.
The more companies sell cars on the Malaysian market, the better for the buyers.
In this season, our local Musang King Proton is really hot, hot, hot, HOTTTT!!!
Ya…durian Proton better than rambutan Perodua.
This is so shocking! Last month sales is around 10,000 and this month sales drop to 7,600 only. I dont know what is going on with Proton but the clear thing is that Proton cars are all game over. Not only that, Proton SC and quality are also game over and that is why people lose trust and automatically sales drop. My advice for Proton is to learn from game changing Perodua because Perodua are good at car business and always create game changing cars that Malaysian want
Its no coincidence Proton & Malaysia both herald to greater heights. The change is destined,
I would like to thank to game changing Geely for saving our Proton. Without Geely, I cannot imagine what Proton will become today. A special thanks for Li Chunrong for making Proton great again
P down 18% meant June 2019 Perodua only have 16000 units, less than last week i predicted 17000 units.
Y compare pisang and jet pejuang? Compare la to p2 vs p1 sama2 local car. Malu cos p2 lead too far front? Lols. U too scare to predict p2 sales cos number sure too big too far for p1 to beat?
We know that sales in June have fallen, I just predict Perodua’s sales figure, why people like you are too smart to make such comments.
Your buttock cannot find the ground hole to defecate?
June 2019 Toyota 5800 units only
June 2019 Honda 6100 units only.
June 2019 Nissan sold 2000 unit cars.
Sir,Dr Li took almost 2 yrs,not 6 months..working 12 hrs 6 day week.In contrast those DRB jokers kiau kar,shake legs play politics.Thats why DRB is losing billions all this while.They apply for tongkat grants to pay crony suppliers,alto they r deemed r n d grants.Intact,Latheefa should investigate DRB staff for cbt.When u live in a world of tongkats,what is there to achieve?
The vehicles has looks that appeal plus the good price positioning. But, the price positioning will not be realized without government support in reducing the applicable taxes eventhough it is very much still CBU from China. Thus, it is an unfair competition.
Thanks to Najib.
Yesss. Thank the boss dude.
Can you see what’s happening? Sales grow when everybody grows but don’t shrink as much when the market takes a downturn. That is how Perodua did it and unsurprisingly, both national brands are in a great position to take 55-60% of the market. Watch for more y-o-y contractions from the 3 Japanese brands as July and August 2018 posted even crazier numbers thanks to the tax holiday.
Ya betui betui. Thank you China. If takda CEO China, p1 lingkup n p1 very lazy lazy. Luckily lahh China can n wanna help. If not memang lingkup lingkup. Now p1 local staff all jadi kuli kuli China. Thank you China but pity local very lazy and congratulation now u all kuli kuli China. Gong xi gong xi.
Lets go and live in china..people always praise to live in china also never been there..
This is very true. We hope more Mainland people come into Malaysia to teach us how to achieve success and do business. Hopefully many will run our companies, especially the loss making GLCs to bring it to greater heights.
Thank you Najib for his great visions & efforts! maluapebosskurr
Typical mentality of a loser. Insulting P2 when their own sales is just a fraction of P2.
This is like a person that just upgraded his PPR unit to a medium cost apartment insulting a multi-billionaire staying in one of his many bungalows.
Ukurlah badan sebelum insult.
“Typical mentality of a loser. Insulting P1 when their own sales is just targetting the base segment of the market with poorly specced cars.
This is like a person that thinks his medium cost apartment insulting PPR residents and looking down upon them when he himself is struggling to keep up with repayments while the PPR owners don’t have such troubles
Ukurlah badan sebelum insult”
Exactly. Whatever it is, Proton will never be in bungalow category.
Proton has never aspired to be in the bungalow category but at least now it has moved to upper middle class terraced homes. What have you been smoking?
This is what I meant exactly. Proton thinking his middle cost apartment equal to an upper middle class terrace house.
Proton has never alluded to that. Only you had dreamed up that nonsense assumption.
Oh, we have two P2 trolls now? Looks like P2 sales declining is real news because we can see the proof its salesmen so much free time on the internet trying to put down P1.
I’ve read your comment 20mil times yet i could not digest it.
One is a shirt from pasar malam bearing similar remblance of the real deal.
The other is a suit made to measure.
P1 and P2 is in two different ‘baju’ game.
Ukurlah minda sebelum mengomen.
this prove that tongkat ppl can’t do business and dont have the brain to do business
I don’t mean to discredit Li Chunrong, but we do have a good CEO back then, Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir (DSZ).
DSZ is one standout CEO amongst the rest, whereby he is also instrumental in bringing Proton back to its track.
So in Proton’s history, DSZ & Li Chunrong is an example of good CEO with good track record.
Tun M dislikes this.
Thank you to the previous government which pushed through the Geely collaboration even when they were bashed left, right and centre. We are now seeing the result of that good decision making from the previous government.
as long as no campro and punch cvt, proton is always success
I’ve seen these “thanks to China” comments over and over again. In my opinion, the hidden intention behind it is to challenge the Malaysian patriotism. Now, what does that leads to? It would make patriotic Malaysian angry at our own people or even gov because we had to rely on non-native Malaysian people or company to run our homegrown company. This is my opinion but if its true, I question your intention mister. Because you instigate a negativity thought amongst Malaysian and thats not good.
