Proton has announced that it has sold 14,787 units in the month of June, representing a 51% increase over the previous month and adding to its tally that reaches a total of 60,124 units for the first half of the year. Meanwhile, its first-half achievement is also an increase of 3.9% over the same period in 2021, said Proton.
This figures have seen Proton hold on to second place in the overall sales table, where market share is estimated to be 22.6%, while market share for the year-to-date is currently 18.2%, which is 5.1% down from this time last year.
The Proton Saga was refreshed in May and continues to be the volume leader for the brand. 5,460 units of the A-segment sedan were registered last month and thus returned to the top of its segment, while its volume for the year-to-date stands at 23,484 units.
Following closely behind the Saga on sales is the X50, which saw 4,473 registrations last month, its best sales volume of the year so far, thus helping it retain its lead in the B-segment SUV category as well as in the overall SUV market in Malaysia, according to Proton. The X50 reached its 100,000-unit bookings milestone in March since it made its debut in October 2020.
Another strong sales performer from Proton is the just-updated X70, which achieved sales of 2,696 units last month, enabling it to also retain its lead in the C-segment SUV category. Its sales performance is also its best in 20 months, Proton noted.
Another segment-best performer is the Exora, which recorded 513 registrations last month and thus continues to hold the top position in sales for the C-segment MPV category. Meanwhile, the B-segment duo that is the Persona and Iriz managed sales of 1,224 units and 421 units respectively, placing them third and fourth in their respective market segments.
“June was a busy month for the automotive industry, with most brands trying to produce as many cars as possible to satisfy market demand. The announcement that SST incentives would be removed on July 1 also created a surge in bookings as customers rushed to take advantage of the savings offered, [which meant] Proton received more than 150,000 bookings for the first half of the year,” said Proton deputy CEO Roslan Abdullah.
In light of heightened demand, the gradual resolution of Proton’s parts supply issues has also had a positive effect on its after-sales network, said Roslan, who noted that all of the brand’s 3S/4S centres now have three months’ worth of fast moving parts stock, and the availability is replicated at its parts warehouse, he said.

– Welp i will see this 3 months later after this post, hopefully it will be better than before
X50 and X70 hi spec with AEB and ACC is good.
Still jaguh kampung. Proton is nowhere in singapore. Neither Indonesia . Nor thailand. Or the phillphines. And Vietnam . Still syiok sendiri with smallish market sizeI in its home market
14000 sales in June,nothing to shout about.
This month,only the tidak apa dudes will still book.
Those who are a bit smarter already booked to escape SST taxes.
July sales will be actually lagged sales due to congestion issues.
So July-Sept bookings will slow down..which will only translate to sales sometime next year.
With chips supply chain issue spilling into 2023,it wont be 20,000 unit sales monthly for P1.
P1 will end up with an average of 10,000 units monthly sales..meaning an annual sales of 120,000 units for 2022.
At the most it may hit 130,000 units.
So,in order to really make good money,P1 has to hit easily 150,000 units.
Comparatively P2 has been consistently hitting 200,000 units and above on average…thats where one can see the profits rolling in.No wonder PNB is giving bumper dividends.
P2 does not make profits, all their profits are sent back to japan as royalties for the cars they rebadge. Where PNB got their money is from their investment into telco and Alibaba, not P2.
What u tokok,P2 retained some measure of profits.Royalties is another matter.If no retained profits,tutup long time ago..another bailout like P1.Stop garbage talk
So is Volkswagen but you don’t hear Germans complaining. They have like 2% market share in the US and 11% in the UK.
Maybe the German buy low spec Benz instead.
You can say the same for Perodua. Have you seen many Indonesian, Singaporean or Bruneian bought Perodua’s models? Both brands main market will always will be Malaysia.
They boughted before ah..
so where is singapore”s car brand?? Oh I forgot, Singapore don’t have Hahahahahahahahahaha
So how many homegrown cars did Singapore, or Indonesia, or Thailand, or Philippines, or Vietnam produced last Quarter?
Pakistan, Kenya, Bangladesh, & Nepal : uhh…..Hello ?
All Proton car all will use timing belt
The best thing that happened to proton was them being bought by geely. We don’t make cars, we copy them and that’s OK. Focus on what we do best
Ramai orang kaya kat malaysia sebenarnya. Konon hidup susah harga barangan naik skrg ni hanya gimik media sosial je. Realiti rakyat malaysia kaya raya. Kereta baru keluar ratus-ratus ribu bijik setiap tahun.
Kalau kaya takkan beli proton la bodo.
haa kan dah kena sebijik. haha. orang kalau betul-betul kaya dia takkan beli proton. kalau beli pun untuk anak dia baru masuk kolej.
Real rich ppl do not showoff with luxury cars and big houses but live a modest lifestyle driving protons. That is, if you don’t have a powerful daddy to kasi Veyron for my bestday.
Terpulang pada mereka, biar individu yang pilih. Memang ada masanya minta juga cadangan tapi kalau setakat ni tak pernah banyak isu macam mana ?
So Proton must have become no 1 in sales in Malaysia. Congrats Proton.
That is like expecting Audi to become No1 sales in Germany
