Perodua far exceeded its own expectations last year, as the national carmaker announced during its full-year review today that it sold a record 240,341 vehicles in 2019. That’s a significant increase over its 235,000 unit target – itself up from the 231,000 units it set for itself at the beginning of the year – and represents a 5.8% jump over the 227,243 cars that found homes in 2018.
The company also increased its market share from 38% to nearly 40%, against an estimated total industry volume (TIV) of 604,775 units. All its models are said to be leading their respective segments, with the Aruz being Malaysia’s bestselling SUV with 30,115 units sold since it was launched early last year. The Myvi continues to be Perodua’s most popular model, followed by the Axia and Bezza.
Despite the gangbuster performance, Perodua is being cautious in 2020 due to what it expects to be a competitive year and a particularly challenging first half, targeting essentially flat sales of around 240,000 units. However, it expects to increase production by 4%, from 244,400 units in 2019 to 254,000, in order to cater for growing exports and to increase stock for 2021.
“We foresee a challenging first half of 2020 as we focus on fulfilling existing bookings. We will evaluate the market situation in the second half while building up our inventory so that we are ready to take advantage of the market if it improves,” said president and CEO Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad, adding that Perodua is also expected to spend RM6 billion to purchase local components this year, up from RM5.4 billion.
As for aftersales, the company serviced 2.35 million cars in 2019 across its 186 service centres nationwide, up 8.3% compared to its 2.17 million unit throughput in 2018. Zainal said that Perodua is working with its dealers to upgrade and invest in their facilities, in order to serve its customers better.

240k vs 100k. Hahahaha.
240k rambutans vs 100k durians. I know which ones the rakyat loves better. Wahahahaha….
Kataxxx bawah tempurung hahaha.
Syukur to the Japanese since Day One for giving their cars to Perodua for rebadging until today. Without Japanese help, Perodua would Game Over since Day One and there would not be so many deaths on the road cause by unsafe Perodua cars. OTOH, since Perodua is not a real national car maker, Perodua should pay back all the incentives and tax deductions they had enjoyed as a national car maker.
Pity poor word from looser. Say oso no point liao. Talk oso no point liao. Becos p2 is exist. Number dont lie. Thanks to mr. Lichungrong p1 saved from bankrap.
Well, keep ur anger cos p2 winner. Muahahaha.
Proton should pay back the billions of bailout from rakyat malaysia… kesian my epf and income tax paid
ha ha ha ha, I don’t know where john is going to hide his face.
Whatever it is, Malaysians are proud of Perodua, From Day 1, they have been making profits of billions per year.
Do you know since inception, Perodua has paid more than RM1 bil in company tax yearly to LHDN?
Proton pulak has been given tax exemption from LHDN. They have not paid a single sen of tax the past 20 years because loss making
Worse still, they have taken RM20 billion in bailouts. Perodua has never taken a single sen of bailouts.
So, in total, Proton losses are more than RM40 bil in past 20 years. No contribution to society at all.
Perodua has paid so much of company tax, over RM25 bil in total and this money has been used to build schools and hospitals for the rakyat
Thank you Perodua
Are you the real Alan? Now that is funny because someone had been telling us you are john, the same person you are insinuating. So now we are confused either you aren’t the real Alan or you’re yet another commenter hijacked by Kunta because you certainly talk like him and shown the same immaturity as him.
BTSH, same person named Saladin.
Celup King Axxx same non sense person.
Lose is lose. Say oso no use now. Hahaha. U ur talk kosong only.
Lousy below said that you are Rakyat Malaysia but somehow you talk like Lousy. So is he saying you are him or he is you? Your split personalities better sort things out away from this site.
Lose is lose. No point talking. Becos u too lousy. U kataxxx bawah tempurung.
Rakyat have spoken, PT have spoken, Perodua sold 240K Game Changers easily while Proton still needs to struggle just to reach the 100K mark. This shows that Proton still needs to learn a lot and also this proof that Iriz FL is a Game Over car
Indeed rakyat has spoken and less and less rakyat is speaking out for Perodua. Rather they are now shouting for Proton.
Yeah u are right bro. Rakyat are shouting for proton becos too many problems on proton cars. Shouting proton lousy. Rakyat speak less abt perodua becos perodua less problem. Very sorry about ur proton problem bro. Nvm bro just let chinaman control ur bisnes.
If you were right, why is sales figures telling us the opposite? didn’t you kept saying sales figures meant everything? So with increasing sales, Proton is effectively debunking your lies without so much as lifting a finger.
Okayyyy….So when is Perodua going to pay back all the incentives and tax deductions they enjoyed as a national car maker, since they are nothing more than just a car assembler for Daihatsu?
Looser talk empty again. No more point to shoot and ask to pay incentives? Ur pity p1 fan still need govt incentives. P1 rm2.75 billion loan from gov already pay or not?
Rakyat Malaysia is Axxx guy who banyak cakap when lose.
Lose is lose dude. No point talking now. Hahaha.
@Klangman
Proton has already paid back half with the RM1.2billion line extension in just last year alone. With 2nd shift commencing, they will pay back in this year alone.

This is when looser talk like in tin milo. Talk for himself. P2 proven Mesian best choice.
Habislah proton!
Tiap tiap tahun habis bro. Langsung tara dpt lawan p2.
Betul bro! Semua stok Saga dah habis. Semua stok Iriz dah habis. Semua stok X70 dah habis. Habislah Proton dah habis stok. Mana nak cari kereta Proton baru untuk CNY?
Aruz 30k vs X70 26,331.
Haha. I said it before early year 2019 Aruz will overtake x70. Mark my word haha.
Now wat basher gonna say? Lols.
You forgot to minus out 10,000 used for unregistered commercial fleet & taxis. So X70 still beat the pants out of Aruz sales.
U forgot to minus 26,331 x70 cos x70 not even mesia car and not even ckd here. All x70 sold here are direct cbu from china. U know, order from china by proton but not proton car. Reach here only tukar logo. So aruz win without a fight, no rival and let u pee all day wet ur pant. So basically proton only sold 74k vehicle in 2019. Shame shame. Now say u wat u wanna say. Lose is lose like u said before n talk oso no use. Eat ur own words hahaha.
If you want to consider minusing X70 because its not a Malaysian car then we should also minus out all 240,341 Perodua cars because they are not Malaysian cars either. So Proton still wins by a mile long?
Agree bro. X70 if not CKD here are not local proton car as claim by proton. Unlike perodua cars are all CKD locally. Perodua since kancil until aruz are all CKD.
Well Brian. You should know, it doesn’t matter if the win in by an inch or by a mile. A win is still a win, and Proton wins either ways.
I oso tumpang laugh. Hahahahahahaha!
Myvi bestseller with how many units?
Enuf to sapu whole range of proton 1 year sales. Excluding china car x70 which not belongs to proton. Proton only trader for x70 boyue. Proton only sold 74k. Myvi 80k.
So sad that we undershot our 2019 target, we were supposed to sell 250k car but Proton seriously ate a lot of our customers. Now with flat sales target this year, we are expecting a tough time for Perodua and this comes from the challenge thrown by Proton’s Dr Li. We were hoping our Japanese bosses to take the challenge and up our target by 32% but we had been shocked that our leaders had retreated from answering the challenge.
I don’t know what to say. Malu tau, if people come asking why Perodua ran away from Proton’s challenge. I even more malu looking at Proton’s ambitious plan on their car launches while we still sell old models. Now with customers savvy on the internet, even they come asking difficult questions like why Perodua is still selling old and outdated models when Daihatsu have so much newer cars. I really malu to say anything because I don’t know how to answer that and my bosses malu to answer that when I asked them. They can only tell me the Japanese bosses make the decisions.
It is time perodua close shop for the benefit of all M’sians.
BTSH still a lot, they like to buy Perodua.
Aruz being Malaysia top selling SUV!
Habislah X70. Hahaha.
Lose is lose lar. No point getting emotional now. Talk oso no use lar. Lose is lose. Haha. Nobody care wat u say.
the japanese bosses dont make the decision as they own only 25% stake in perodua…the local lazy perodua management are the ones need to be blamed
The local management cannot do anything if the Japanese bosses don’t give them more modern cars but they aren’t doing that. So nope, I blame the Japanese bosses for that.
why should give modern cars to a useless company that cant even make thier own cars and become global company? semua mau senang saja ke?
Which is why better to close Perodua down for the benefit of all M’sians
The only winner. Meanwhile Proton will win 5 other categories and ring in Perodua sales before squeezing them like a python.
Well done Perodua.Expect a stiff competition from Proton this year.
Nit a chance. Not even close. Proton cant compete wif perodua. Perodua will always win n in front. Now proton dream high mabuk wanna compete wif honda n toyota. Like sun n moon.
Habislah proton haha.
All x70 is contributing to China GDP dude..Wake up..
And why should we support Perodua contributing to Japan GDP? They are rich enough, why still take our money?
Aku rse yg komen2 bawah ni semua seller dua brand national tuh.. aduih.. org nak tau kelebihan kekurangan.. bukan game over lah.. habis la.. semua page ada ayat tu.. cuba tgk toyota dan honda.. walaupun bersaing.. tp takde pun kutuk2 beriya satu sama lain.. come one lah.. mcm mana negara nak maju.. butthurt btul.
so true :(
