Proton sold a total of 13,013 vehicles (domestic and export sales combined) in the month of October 2022, bringing the national carmaker’s sales for the year-to-date to 115,366 units.
Although slightly down on the monthly sales volume compared to the 14,872 units sold in the preceding month of September 2022, this nonetheless means Proton has exceeded the 114,708-unit volume it achieved for the full year of 2021 with two months to spare, and also means that year-to-date sales have increased by 33.6% for the first 10 months of the year.
In terms of the Malaysian market, Proton noted that it continues to be second in the sales table with an estimated market share of 21.1%, while its year-to-date market share has dropped slightly to 19.9%. The national carmaker also estimated that overall total industry volume (TIV) has exceeded 60,000 units for the third month in a row, it added.
By the models, the Saga continues to be the national car brand’s bestseller, with 5,262 units sold in October, arriving at 45,965 units sold in the year to date. This is a 42% gain over the same period last year, which Proton attributes to the popularity of the refreshed model that was launched in May.
Second to the Saga in terms of sales in the Proton line-up is X50 SUV, having sold 3,602 units in October for a total of 33,193 units delivered in the year to date. This means the X50 continues to be not just the bestselling B-segment SUV, but also the overall bestselling SUV in Malaysia, says Proton.
Meanwhile, the X70 saw 1,391 deliveries last month with 15,536 units in the year to date, placing it 2nd in the C-segment SUV sales table. Combined, the X50 and X70 SUVs are approaching the 50,000-unit mark with 48,729 units of Proton SUVs delivered so far in 2022.
The Persona and Iriz B-segment sedan and hatchback sold 1,697 units and 661 units last month, respectively, bringing their year-to-date volumes to 12,484 units and 4,780 units. The Exora holds on to the top C-segment MPV spot with 400 units sold last month, and 3,508 units in the year-to-date.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
BTW Mick, mind to share which C segment is number 1 now ahead of x70? CRV?
All rushing to register before 31Mar’22 (for SST-rebated deals); P2 gotta maintain 25-30K delivery per month
We must thank Geely for saving Proton. Without their Game-Changing Binyue and Boyue, maybe Proton only sold around 20,000 cars only
Waiting to see Perodua sales data
Either CRV or Corolla Cross. Been seeing the latter more now.
At the most,P1 will hit 140,000 units by year end.
Compared to P2,hitting 240,000 units.
So,it will take a while for P1 to play catch up.
That is like saying it will take a while for Apple to catch Vivo phone sales because they cannot sell enough expensive iphone Maxes. Does it bother Apple? Nah, not one bit.
Not national-owned – P1 or P2
Just another Toyota & Geely
If these car companies are really serious, then don’t just brag about units sold but also publish the year end nett profit. Then we can truly see which one is more profitable.
Tokorrow’s news, for sure;
Perodua sold 300,000 cars until yerterday
So Proton actually only sell 66K of cars? The other 49K is Geely’s SUV. If Geely didn’t buy that 49.9% of stake in Proton, that 66K probably only 20K or even less.
Make China great again!
Yup only 66K unit Proton cars (non Geely)
Masih tak laku dan syok sendiri
Going by your logic, it would seem pitiful for the other national brand selling 0 cars? Since all their cars comes from Daihatsu or Toyota. Is that a fair judgement onto them?
This again? *Yawn*
Kereta China semakin diterima rakyat Malaysia, well done Geely! Make China great again!
Proton is gd car. I am used proton saya FL 2011. Better and nice car for my family
Work hard and buy Toyota car.
To the basher: Hahahahahahahahaha!!!!!
Thank you Geely for saving our Game Over Proton. Without Geely, I don’t think john can laugh today
P1 still has 51% maruah. Ur P2 has 0% maruah. Mana kemaluan?
X70 become second because Proton downgraded the engine from 1.8 to 1.5 & from 4 cylinders to 3 cylinders. Quite pity of Exora if only Proton give proper makeover with at least four Airbags and most probably it can sell at least 1k per month. Proton is losing a lot in MPV segment. Proton never learned to put all eggs in one basket like Proton did previously by producing too many sedans and now SUV(crossover).
Intelligent people will buy Tesla. Not Proton. Iswara, Saga, Wira, Putra, Satria, Persona (07-14), Iriz, Waja and Perdana is a car that brings proud to it’s owners. Preve and Suprima not. Proton will be right on track if they resurrect wira, persona, satria, putra and waja again with 1.5T CamPro (redesigned) from scratch.
