On the final day of the sales and service tax (SST) exemption, Perodua received a whopping 25,100 vehicle bookings. This was revealed alongside the carmaker’s sales performance for the first six months of 2022, where it managed to deliver a total of 127,343 vehicles – 30% more than the same period last year.
“There was a significant rush in vehicle bookings especially when the government extended the registration period to March 31, 2023 and we thank Malaysians for choosing Perodua as their brand of choice,” said Perodua president and CEO Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad.
“Speaking of the sales tax exemption; on the last day of the initiative, Perodua saw the highest single booking day on June 30, 2022 with 25,100 vehicles orders taken. This is unprecedented and a testament to the growth potential of Malaysia’s automotive industry given the right incentive. We sincerely thank the government for extending the delivery deadline to March 31, 2022 as we needed that grace period to meet the demand so far,” he added.
Following the end of the SST exemption, the prices of Perodua vehicles have increased by between RM723 and RM4,674, or between 1.63% and 6.38% if you prefer percentages. All Perodua models are locally assembled (CKD), so they previously benefitted from 100% SST exemption during the tax holiday.
Perodua did not reveal how many bookings it has received during the first six months of 2022, but it undoubtedly faces the same challenges (labour shortage, supply chain issues) as other carmakers in the industry to delivers cars to customers before the March 31, 2023 deadline. The company is already more than halfway to meeting its full year sales target of 247,800 units for 2022, and the imminent launch of the all-new Alza will likely spur demand further.

Fuuyohhh highest booking votes ever. The confidence is super stronkk in p2 PH terbaekkk.
all the salesmen can now look for another job…no point staying at the showroom as the sales for next 3 quarters are all done!
all the salesmen like me locked non-SST price …so we make alot charging under table rm2k per car , kikiki smart pipu.
YB Dong Gor,good suggestion..Perodua SA can moonlight and sell used cars,since not enough new cars for delivery.
From now on Perodua volume will drop tremendously compared to proton or other marques simply bcos it will easily take 6-9 mths to deliver compared to others’ 3-6 mths at most.
Interestingly, this is the first time I book a car (new Alza) where I don’t mind if it arrive in 6 months or slightly longer; 9 months as you said. You see, I already have a 5-seater car and looking for a 7-seater upgrade for the family and thought that I should take the advantage of the SST exempt. But I don’t want it immediately because I prefer to do full settlement of my current car first; which have a year (or so) of installment remaining. Since this new car is just a booking, the loan application process hasn’t begin yet. I guess it will kick-off once the car is officially launched (by the end of July, maybe?). It’s possible that the loan process will take another month or so. And finally, if the car will arrive in 6 months, that means I’ll probably get it by Feb 2023. I’ve confirmed with the SA that the loan repayment will only start after I get the car so by that time, I already reduced a lot on my current car loan and got a few options to do with it, sell, rent or for use as second car.
Maju Malaysia, good spec car outsold kosong spec, no AEB, no ACC foreign cars.
Proton – 150,000 1/1/22 to 30/6/22
Perodua – 25,000 1 day on 30/6/22
Congratulations to Proton and Perodua.

“… a testament to the growth potential of Malaysia’s automotive industry given the right incentive.”
What kind of stupidity is this? The demand rose because of a tax holiday. Are you asking for a permanent tax exemption? Demand for cars has a cap. It isn’t water or fuel!
Not suprise many will cancel booking after this,interest naik,waiting list makin panjang……wait n see
If you lock in your loan earlier i think it wont be impacted by future OPR hike… right?
From now on Perodua volume will drop tremendously compared to proton or other marques simply bcos it will easily take 6-9 mths to deliver compared to others’ 3-6 mths at most.
OPR will keep getting up and up as we are going into recovery post covid. Wonder how many still afford to buy car/pay loans afterwards
Exactly….
What to say…Ada gaya dgn kereta baru is much more important.
