Perodua sold 61,624 cars in Q1 2022, up 6.4% despite challenges – 247,800 overall sales target maintained

Despite persistent challenges such as the impact of Covid-19 and supply chain issues, Perodua posted sales growth in the first quarter of 2022 with 61,624 vehicles registered, up 6.4% from the 57,909 vehicles sold from January to March 2021.

Perodua president and CEO Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad said that while the effects of the pandemic and component supply issues are still present, the company has been able to work with its suppliers and dealers to reduce the impact. “Our focus is now to expedite the vehicles delivery to our customers before the sales tax exemption deadline ends on June 30,” he said.

The market leader registered 26,759 vehicles in March 2022, a 9.5% increase from the 24,433 units sold in the same month last year. Compared with February, sales jumped 53.2% from 17,421 units. Last month’s figures aren’t far away from P2’s monthly record of 27,858 units, recorded in October 2021.

“Moving forward, we foresee the second quarter of 2022 to be the highlight for the automotive industry as brands will deliver as many vehicles as they can within that three-month period,” Zainal said.

“While semiconductor chip supply and Covid-19 would still influence production, we expect that production and registration will continue to improve. We do not foresee other factors such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine to have a major impact on Perodua’s production moving forward,” the P2 chief added, declaring that the Myvi-maker’s 247,800 sales target for 2022 will be maintained.

If they manage to hit that, it will be a massive 30.2% jump from the 190,291 units delivered last year. The next-generation D27A Alza MPV will be a booster.

    If perodua confident enough as the top car maker in malaysia, let’s open the market and not subject new car prices to unequal tax applications

    Dear perodua. You sell so much but what use when current cars tersadai banyak kat ko punya workshop waiting for spareparts? Then we have your salesman telling owners tak suka tunggu can service at Ah beng or Faisal mechanic outside.

    Let me ask you if this is your official stance and if our warranty is still valid if we send for service at Ah beng or Faisal mechanic outside or will you immediately void our warranties?

    We see proton action to improve their service but what about your own? Stop being bodoh sombong thinking you will always remain top seller.

    Dont just focus on selling cars but neglect to service current owners. Dont take advantage of us just cause we are financially forced to buy your cars, if we have a choice you would be dead last with such crap service culture.

      • Mr Mar if you are a grandpa by now,u know the ”tikam,tikam” thing at the sundry shop?
        So,Pelotua fanboys and girls…u are exactly treated as tikam tikam customer.
        Waiting 6 months for Myvi and later shocked to learn shortage of certain parts during schedule maintenance then keeping car at workshop for another 6 months is utterly unacceptable.Only fools prefer to gian gian wait this long.

        Are you blind? Can’t you see here or are you trying to downplay for them? If you are working for them we want to know what is Perodua doing to help long suffering customers with sparepart shortages. Proton have been very honest and open with their efforts but why Perodua is keeping mum and playing dumb to customers that are complaining everywhere? Why so quiet here?

    Buy your cars just to keep them in service centers? Sorry but cars are meant for use and not to keep as display.
