The pandemic-related issues that were holding back the Malaysian auto industry have subsided, and we’re now seeing production making a strong comeback. This has translated to big sales in August. Perodua recorded a jump of nearly 42% in registrations last month to 26,039 units, from July’s 18,346 units.
“We are currently trying to build on this improvement to ensure speedier delivery to our customers,” Perodua president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said, adding that August was the best month so far this year in terms of production, with 28,036 units rolling out of its Rawang factories.
The market leader typically sells whatever it can make and this production boost is behind the healthy deliveries. Leading the model pack is the Bezza with 6,808 units, followed by the Myvi and Axia at 6,252 units and 4,857 units respectively. Alza? 7,682 units were registered in July and August. The new MPV was launched on July 20.
Zainal added that key issues such as the semiconductor chip supply shortage and insufficient labour at P2’s vendors have been resolved for now. “We are also closely monitoring the increase in prices of raw materials at the moment and are working with the ecosystem on how best to mitigate this impact to our operations,” he said.
As for year-to-date sales, Perodua’s registrations for the first eight months of this year stand at 171,728 units, which is a massive 63.7% jump from the 104,933 units recorded in the same period last year. However, this figure is distorted as Malaysia was under a lockdown from June to mid-August 2021 and operations were suspended then, hence the low base.
The Myvi is leading the internal league with 48,658 units sold so far this year, followed by the Bezza with 39,642 units and the Axia at 37,013 units.
By the way, P2 is currently well positioned to exceed its original sales target for this year, which is 247,800 units. Meeting that would have already set a new record – Perodua’s highest annual sales to date is 240,341 units, set in 2019. It will be a bumper year, that’s for sure.

Game on lah brader!
Until garmen strip all duties.if u r P2 boss,just sell locally.The margins are better.
U go international,at this juncture,the margins r slim.U just boost some volume figures.Long term,P2 has to go international,no doubt.
Why would they need export. Local sales also tak menang tangan. They dont need validation from countries like Pakistan, Iran, Sri Lanka, Nigeria and other underdeveloped countries.
Low spec P2, less impact from chips shortage global issue.
Rakyat will always trust and buy the proven quality and fuel efficient Perodua.
In fact being the No.1 rakyat choice Perodua should change its brand name to Pertama.
Sir,I couldnt agree less.
perodua.. dua..doesnt seem exciting anymore.
Last 15 years P2 is “pertama” in sales nationwide.
We r not being boastful.Credit must be given when due.
Look at P1..they reached 16000 units last month,start boasting non stop.
P2 is too humble.Get a brandname makeover,P2.
Copy paste: “P2 has been boasting non stop.
P1 conquered more market segments than them.They didnt boast.They just let P1 fanboys know the sales figure,as reassurance that their choice is not wrong.
Whats important, the car is reliable and a pleasure to drive,complete with good RV and after sales support.”
So can you please give a satisfactory answer to Ms @Siti nur below who are among the many had booked and waited for the old Alza?
Majority are not willing to stump the extra 10k just to get new version so P2 must do them justice by honouring their deal and either give them the old version which they ordered or replace them with new version at old prices.
tahniah Daihatsu perodua Axia and Myvi top sale chart month after month thank you Indon mari perodua great again
Do P2 has to made the same topic announcement every other day after P1 did? We can clearly see the pattern since pre-Geely time.
P1 has been boasting non stop.
P2 sold 10,000 units more than them.They didnt boast.They just let P2 fanboys know the sales figure,as reassurance that their choice is not wrong.
Pattern or no pattern,no one gives a damn.
Whats important, the car is reliable and a pleasure to drive,complete with good RV and after sales support.
Copy paste: “Sir,I couldnt agree less.
perodua.. dua..doesnt seem exciting anymore.
Last 15 years P1 is “eating” more market segments in sales nationwide.
They r not being boastful.Credit must be given when due.
Look at P2..they reached 22000 units last month,still living on tongkat,start boasting non stop.
P1 is too humble.Get a brandname makeover,P1- the only true national carmaker.”
Sure or not. What about putting up self-congratulatory banner for being at number 1 spot for 3 months because P2 were having supply issue due to Fukushima earthquake.
A win is a win. People say Leicester were an undeserved EPL champion and putting up self-congratulatory banners plus a open bus parade, seeing they only won 1 time and look where are they now, but the factual and undisputed truth is they won that 1 time and it all that matters.
Good job perodua!
Saya order Alza Bulan 5 xdpt2. Call perodua Careline,katanya 11bulan. Brp lama saya nk Tggu? Bank loan da approve. Dan masih Ramai yg senasib saya.
Tak payah tunggu,Puan Siti Nur.
Just go abang Perodua,UMW..book Velox..banyak stock..just lengthen Hire purchase by 2 years.
P2..there’s nothing to shout about.The figures are due to people wanting to escape SST.They dont want to be caught later when the cut off date is exceeded.
20,000 is just your breakeven numbers. Once u hit 30,000 units every month and revenue overtaking P1,then start shouting.
Some people start trumpeting when they reach Bukit Gasing,when their real target is Mount Kinabalu.
More perodua substandard crappie cars on the road now
Congratulations to Proton and Perodua.
Perodua growth – 28,036 @ August, 2022, YTD up 63.7%
Proton growth – 15,880 @ August, 2022, YTD up 39.7%
Wahliow..can u imagine durian runtuh for P2 Sales Advisors,in terms of commissions ?
Kipidap,P2 for being the MDRT(Million Dollar Round Table in insurance language)of the auto industry.
Reaching 28-30 thousand unit sales monthly might be achievable next 2-3 months.
P1..stop all the grumbling on chips issue.Work harder.Nothing is impossible.
Sorry, kinda confused here, so on August, Perodua sells 26k units or 28k units?
Also, Ativa & Aruz figure is not written, does it mean both sales not good or there’s production issue for them?
Could Perodua make a new variant for Ativa, which does not include the ADAS? which can sell cheaper, similarly to Myvi X, which got 1 with ADAS & 1 without.
Sales increase year to year, but staff salary very hard to increase. P2 HR pls revise staff salary package according to market today.
yeah, On top of 6-month annual bonus. the staff need this!
Why need to increase, not like they are working hard at all. Selling cheap cars is not difficult, poor people have no choice so they buy these cars. Not like P2 salesmen have to go out and promo, can see so many of them spend whole day camping in PT and trolling the tereds.
I booked my Axia for my daughter in July 2022, when can expect delivery? I pay in cash.
