One of the factoids thrown out by Perodua during its 2019 full-year review was the total amount of export sales, and on that front the national carmaker announced that it sold 2,825 vehicles overseas.
That’s unfortunately some way down on the 3,270 units it had hoped to export last year, but it’s still a solid 29.4% increase over 2018’s 2,184 units. Indonesia made up the bulk of the total number, with 1,800 units of the Myvi being shipped there as the Daihatsu Sirion.
Sri Lanka was next with 583 units, and there the Bezza became the bestselling sub-1.0 litre sedan. The company also entered a new market, Seychelles, selling 37 units there since June. Perodua continued to post modest exports to Brunei (162 units), Mauritius (125 units), Singapore (98 units) and Fiji (20 units).
“While our exports remained modest, we are making good progress in establishing our brand overseas and are looking at further improving the numbers this year,” said president and CEO Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments highlight skepticism about Perodua's export achievements, with some claiming very low unit sales and limited international presence, especially in developed markets like Singapore. Many believe Perodua relies heavily on rebadged Daihatsu cars, and some question the authenticity of their export success. Others praise Proton's progress and domestic contributions, contrasting it with Perodua's perceived dependence on Japanese technology and limited global impact. Overall, sentiments are mixed, with a tendency toward critical views of Perodua's export performance and pride in local automotive development.
