Proton continues to chart sales growth with its latest figures of 9,127 units registered for August this year, according to the automaker. This represents a 17.6% share of total industry volume (TIV) for August, increasing the company’s market share to 15.3% at this time of the year.
Sales has grown 36% year-on-year during the same time the total industry volume has decreased 5.8%, according to the company. Total sales as of the end of August stands at 61,396 units, and the firm is on track to exceed its 2018 overall sales figure of 64,744, it added; should the current growth trend be maintained, the 2018 figure will be surpassed before the end of September, the company said.
Bookings for the Proton Saga which was launched early last month has exceeded 10,000 units, from which over 1,000 has come from Proton’s online booking platform for a fee of RM9.99; popular demand has driven the extension of the closing date for online bookings to September 17. The new Saga averaged over 500 orders daily in the first week since its launch.
“With initiatives like the opening of additional 3S/4S outlets and improvements to customer service and product quality set to continue this year, we are confident of being able to close-out 2019 strongly,” said Proton CEO Li Chunrong.
The number of online bookings for the Saga exceeded those received for the X70 SUV, therefore the online booking period has been extended to give more buyers the chance to use the platform, the CEO said.

To the basher: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Tahniah P1!
P1, Geely, Mesidis, Volvo Car, Volvo Trucks, Lotus > all
Safer to buy P1 than Hyundai, P2 and Toyota which P1 is improving on service, many equipments and powerful whereas these game over P2, Toyota and Hyundai is getting worst on service, giving outdated equipments and feels very underpowered
Syabas DRB proton! Keepidap tg malim!
Bro Mario, Proton is the one who should learn from game changing Hyundai. Moreover, Hyundai also sells their 4AT gearbox for Saga FL
China do all the hard work but Malaysia and Proton syiok sendiri.
Sudah lah Mario. asyik buat hal je
Kena jajah geely baru hidup.
Tanpa geely proton tak mampu hidup.
Nak kena jajah balik ler mcm ni.
Memalukan dan 30 thn yg sia-sia, balik ke rebadging la pulak. 30 thn pengalaman banyak goyang kaki minum kopi O jer.
Perodua dijajah 25 tahun tak complain.
Dedak dia ko makan takde lain.
Ditipu berdekad buat tak kesah.
Kereta hancur, badan hancur orang lain mendesah.
Memalukan 25 tahun tak habis rebadge je.
Tau saja nak menunjuk orang lain ke?
Goyang kaki minum kopi O je.
Kau saja yang buat ye.
Dari keje keji sebagai keyboard warrior.
Baik kau jadi Food Panda delivery lor.
Berambuslah dari blog kesayangan kita.
Jangan lagi menipu sama kita.
You win sir. That troll really has nothing on you. Thumbs up!
my god this comment is so cringe-inducing.
Butthurted bro?! Pedulikla. Artikel ni pasal Saga. Saga sales bigger than X70; x rasa ke lari context from ur comment?
Salesman troll P2 bukannya paham apa tu context. Tak percaya? Tengok balik article2 pasal brand lain dia pun nak juga kaitkan P1. Dah kekeringan idea lah tu.
Manyak betul. Memang tak salah.
Gomen prihatin manyak plotek2, makan2… tp diorang jadik delusional..recond AP kebal beb
Betui tu bro! Mulo2 nyo rebadge, pas to bikin enjon sendiri “camberok”, pas tu “camberok” manyok polobelem, sales tok cantik, malo nok tup kodoi, juol kasi geely, rebadge kete ciner, balik rebadge lagi. Nda malo apo bossku? Ni pulok angon2 nok bikin floying car. Maksih geely, tanpa mu plotong tup kodoi udoh. Hakikot nyo!
Itupun sebab PROTON sewaktu “pra-penjajahan” tidak dapat membuat inovasi yang lebih handal dari syarikat kenderaan sezamannya, tidak ada pemimpin kenderaan yang benar-benar pakar akan bidang kenderaan, semua dikawal oleh ahli politik yang tidak tahu pun pasal industri kenderaan. Mujurlah ada Geely proton baru diberikan nafas baharu, kena “jajah” macam ni pun kira alhamdulillah lah sebab Geely masih lagi bagi peluang. Kalau tidak “dijajah” percaya tak PROTON akan bankrap, nanti waktu itu keadaan menjadi lagi sadis huhuhu
Habis la p1 mcm ni bro! Fan fan p1 ni masih angan2 mimpi2 tak nak ngaku dah game over. Tanpa geely p1 sudah game over. Patut puji geely bukan puji p1. Ni cuma geely bertopengkan p1. Mmg byk keyboard warrior p1 fan asyik tukar keyboard pas nih bro. Syiok sendiri jer dia org. Syiok dengan benda yg dah game over. Malang nyer hanya mampu dijajah yer bro.
Perodua u tak bising bodo….toyota boleh jadi kereta nasional u tak bising bodo…u memang bapak segala bodo….
Thank u geely for saving p1 s!
Toyota have been saving Perodua for 25 years! Thank you!
10k a month was what proton had 5-6 years ago. 10 years ago proton was doing about 180k units a year with persona.
This year May 2019 Proton had 10611 units sold.
They didn’t have high valued cars like X70 back then… With this, their finances are becoming healthier by the month.
https://paultan.org/2019/06/10/proton-sold-10611-units-in-may-highest-in-46-months/
You mean this happened 5-6 years ago? So did you come from 2024-5?
Proton just need another 3350 units can surpass 2018 whole year sales figure, I remember last year one SH said that Proton only can achieve 50000 units in 2019 and close shop soon. He also firmly believe that Toyota will re-top in year 2019. Where are this SH now?
If proton stick to the Campro + Punch CVT it not..
But with saga with campro VVT & 4AT, this can boost Proton sales..
Hope Iriz & Persona came with 4AT..
The family car Persona is suitable with a torque converter auto. The Iriz should come with DCT if possible for maximum driving fun.
Iriz & Persona with Campro & Punch CVT sales are doing quite well too. No need 4AT as Geely’s work on the same CVT has been impressive and even Hafriz admitted this should be the definitive level for Iriz & Persona.
Nope, I enjoy Paultan.org but I never used one of their authors as my guide. For me, no CVT or DCT in the Iriz, Persona. 5-speed or 6-speed normal auto will be good enough for better fuel consumption. Dont stop at Hyundai for tranny, go for other Japanesse manufacturers.
Are you aware that even Japanese manufacturers have CVT or manual options only for their small cars? 5/6/7speeder autoboxes are only for their higher ranged cars. CVT works just how it is implemented and of course, the feeling is different than a conventional autobox but people will get used to it.
Japanese manufacturers? Like hi-quality Takeda airbags from Japan?
Campro is the valves management system. Proton took out and replace with VVT. So, it is not a Campro! And some of the commenter called himself/herself an ENGINEER. Oh, Malaysian.
Anyway, welcome back 4AT. Good bye CVT.
It is the same block, which makes it a variation of the S4PH. But proton should have call this unit S4PV (straight inline 4 cylinder Petrol variable valve)
I have an Iriz 1.6 with CVT. No problems so far and shifting is much better than 4AT.
Since when a cvt gearbox can shifting? Are you the iriz owner from 2040? Nice to meet you man
HALLELUYAH!
Rakyat makin patriotik sejak Mei2018, kembali strong sapot kete Proton. P1 Malaysia boleh!
Habislah Hyundai including P2 and Toyota. No one will buy Hyundai and P2 as Hyundai service and P2 service are terrible. Better buy P1
Saga lemmings, buy first regret later..
Spoken like a true person who never owned one.
I have exora 2012 dan kancil 850 2001. Kancil still running ok, but exora.. Bad fc, bad build quality, crack here and there..
Lol , what crack? I also have exora for 10 years. Always balik kampung 1000km, and can you even imagine how the road condition in Sabah ? There is no crack like you mention. Strangely, my myvi av 2019 only have 207++km at the odometer , but the handbrake will produce bunyi lebah and aircond vent at the leftside already patah. I also have kancil but with turbo engine, yes that car is really realible. Before I swapped turbo engine , the stock 850cc engine still holds even I haven’t service it for 4 years
I have been using Saga for the past 2 years and I never had any regrets buying, owning, and driving it.
If you’re going to keep making stupid statements, at least tell me how much Perodua pays you to troll Proton threads…..
Looks like Malaysia economy is very robust. Lots of buying and booking of new cars. Abang abang and kakak kakak Malaysian bergaya driving new cars.
Now proton understand how to do business. Lesson to learn is customer satisfaction is very important. Keep the product simple so it reliable. Feature rich is no more, so the cost of manufacture will going down and company will make profit. Learn from Perodua and no 1 Toyota.
Proton is drop dead last in customer satisfaction survey by JD power, and it has been the same for the past 10 years (except that one hear when VW was the last and last year when Honda was last).
No improvement made by proton in anyway whatsoever
In a class of 40, getting 10th place is a good achievement. Why so salty?
And we should believe a dupe-changing troll that got caught red-handed for lying multiple times instead?
2016 to june 2018 year make Proton car sure need improvement. We talking current model start from X70 lauched last year december, just wait jd.power do another survey for year make 2018 car.
If tikus found, send this message to him.
“Proton kucing no need learn anything from Perodua tikus. In fact, if Malaysian changing sure tikus will less (please dun throw rubbish anywhere, make sure our environment is clean). For your info, tikus quantities definitely more than kucing but never able beat the kucing. We know kucing fall sick previously that’s why tikus a lot on the street. Recover need some time, hopefully kucing can be stronger again and kill more tikus.”
If not tikus, he will be using dupes like nasi lemak, sambal udang, ais kacang, kuda, lembu, badak and cacing. All by one P2 sales troll, believe it or not. Just shows how much free time a P2 salesman have nowadays since P1 sales keep improving…
Perodua is no doubt more successful than Proton. This is why Proton must learn a lot from game changing Perodua. How to become an international carmaker if Proton still can’t beat its own rival
Still too early for April fools’ jokes lah.
We don’t need to be in April for our court jester to come out and entertain us.
Tikus found
Bro, what happen if perodua design their own car, make their own engine and not from toyota/daihatsu engine, can you even imagine how the quality provided by them? What do you mean by “game changing perodua”? Nothing to be proud, atleast proton have their own design and engine. Especially the suspension tuning , considering the price of the proton cars, you can only enjoy these kind of handling on high end car
the new saga rear seats has poor thigh support just like the proton gen.2.
Atleast not like bezza kerusi tegak macam duduk di dinding rumah
I hope proton back to the d segment car as well, MPV is a new trend for automobile industry, speed up r and d before too late.
Predict Malaysia vehicle sales data for August 2019 by brand:-
1. Perodua tikus, rambutan – 19500 units
2. Proton kucing, durian – 9127 units
3. Honda – 7500 units
4. Toyota – 5500 units
5. Nissan – 2000 units
Haters still said its a gameover cae
