Perodua has announced it delivered 32,179 vehicles in March 2023, which is 29% higher when compared to the 24,936 units sold in February this year, while also being 20.2% more than the 26,759 units it sold in the same month last year.
“These achievements can be attributed to several factors, such as our efforts to fulfil the Penjana orders before its deadline on March 31, 2023, production improvements throughout the supplier ecosystem and better coordination within our sales network,” said Perodua president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad.
With this, the carmaker’s sales tally for the first quarter of 2023 is 78,564 units, an increase of 27.5% compared to the same period in 2022 that saw 61,624 deliveries. “Despite these achievements, there are still a small number of Penjana orders that we were unable to fulfil; to these customers, we will honour the sales exempt amount guaranteed under the initiative and we apologise for the long wait,” Zainal said.
As for production, last month saw Perodua’s manufacturing arm churn out 33,666 units, bringing its year-to-date (YTD) total to 84,800 units. This is 33.9% more than the 63,325 units produced in the first quarter of 2022.
Over the coming months, Zainal said Perodua will look to further build on these achievements as the order banks for its models continue to be healthy. He added that the sustained production growth has managed to reduce the waiting period for certain models.
“In fact, for some of our models, the waiting period has been reduced significantly; only particular models such as the Bezza, Axia and Alza have a slightly longer waiting period based on their respective variants and colour,” Zainal explained.
Still touching on the matter of production, Zainal said the global price of raw materials has decreased recently, which has helped ease cost pressures for suppliers, Perodua as well as most of the automotive players. “These favourable conditions will give us a chance to build up our stock faster while at the same time enable us to reduce the waiting period for our customers,” he commented.
For 2023, Perodua said in January that it is targeting sales to hit a record 314,000 units – 11.3% more than the 282,019 units in 2022 – with the production goal being 330,000 cars.

Axia orders canceling
Overpriced
Not worth to cancel.
Rather the booking fee and waiting for this.
Axia was the P2’s 2nd-best selling. I wonder how many old Axia bookings converted to new Axia in the end… the price was almost 30-40% hike.

This is a recurring problem. Some people change 3,4,5 times and it still leak. Playing it down won’t make you look smarter.
I see you are looking smarter
Kesian P2 not doing well anymore. P1 is selling shy of 2X less but with 3X profit margin on higher valued cars. p2 making big losses now. Prepare for a massive job cut inkambing soon.
““Despite these achievements, there are still a small number of Penjana orders that we were unable to fulfil; to these customers, we will honour the sales exempt amount guaranteed under the initiative and we apologise for the long wait,” Zainal said.”
The Penjana orders were way before new Alza and Axia launching. How many new Alza and Axia on the road already?
Perodua,one thing very glaringly bad about your organisation…the unwillingness to reciprocate in kind the blockbuster support from us Perodua ardent fanboys.
At least absorb the SST till year end if u keep saying orders r still backlogged.
All your latest launchings come with price increases.
Do lah like PM Anwar..giving telco package perpaduan to the deserving folks,more rice subsidies to farmers etc.

After Raya wil see more tarik kereta due to global economic slump, so better pull your purse for better use unless you hav the xtra money.
Mr Curious …you maybe right.
The impulsive car buying phenomenon must stop.
China is our largest trading partner.It is going to overtake USA soon as world’s largest economy.
Lately,I read that thousands of truck drivers in China r jobless due to their slowing economy.
Very soon,when China sneeze,the world may catch a cold.
Getting your perodua delivered to your doorstep does not mean u can fulfill the HP banking obligations.For some,it is 84 to 108 months of non stop instalments.
1st u say China going to overtake USA, then u say thousands truck drivers in China jobless due to slowing economy… Which is which?
Mr Sotong
China going to overtake USA GDP in few years.Fact.But does this mean China cannot face slowdown? USA have its up n down too.
No 1 doesnt equate to never ending success.
