Perodua breaks monthly sales record in Dec 2022 – 31,224 units, over 1k cars made and registered per day

Perodua breaks monthly sales record in Dec 2022 – 31,224 units, over 1k cars made and registered per day

2022 was a bumper year for Perodua that saw many internal records tumble. With 282,019 units registered, the market leader didn’t just sprint past its 2022 sales target of 247,800 units (30.2% higher than 2021 sales), but also its all-time sales record of 240,341 units, achieved in 2019.

Turns out that there’s another record that wasn’t explicitly mentioned, perhaps because it pales in comparison to the grand total. Perodua president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad revealed that the company had a hectic final month of the year, which saw an average of 1,000 vehicles made and registered per day.

That sounds like some feat, so we checked. P2’s previous monthly sales record happened just one month back – in November 2022, the company sold 28,592 units. Take the 2022 grand total and minus the year-to-date November 2022 figure of 250,795 and you’ll get the December 2022 sales total of 31,224 units, a new monthly record and one that translates to 1,000 units per day.

The final push is impressive, and surprisingly unrelenting for a company that essentially has no rivals in Malaysia. Just picture this – the market leader breached both its sales target and all-time annual sales record in 11 months, the race was already won, and then it goes on to break its monthly sales record in that ‘spare’ month instead of celebrating and taking the foot off the gas.

Mentality monsters, as a certain football manager might say.

      Malaysians trust Japanese quality cars, this is why Perodua always break sales record every month while Proton cars always breakdown

        Meaning Perodua can compete openly on pricing so let’s remove the crazy high car tax excise duties ya !! Oh I remember Perodua CEO was begging the Gomen to keep giving them special preference despite them really nothing more than a car assembler for Daihatsu.

      Tahniah Daihatsu Indonesia. Without you, Perodua will have long ago kolos shop since until today they still rely on you to provide them new cars to rebadge. Perodua no shame still call themselves National Carmaker when there is nothing national about their cars. Memalukan better just kolos shop and let Daihatsu import Indon made cars here.

        Unproven rumours or P2 just don’t want listen to angry customer voices? Why is Aruz sales sliding down the grease pole versus X50 and X70?

      Aruz has been in market quite some time, guess P2 time to perform mechanical refresh but CVT the only option (as Japan Daihatsu current trend)?

    Heard rumors, last time if they break the monthly record production, each worker will get RM50 KFC voucher that month. Not sure nowadays. Anyone from P2 can verify?
