The Honda CR-V led the C-segment SUV market in terms of sales last month with a total of 980 units registered, according to data from the road transport department (JPJ). Coming in after the CR-V is the Chery Tiggo 7 Pro and Tiggo 8 Pro with combined 769 units (JPJ lists both as ‘T11’ under the ‘models’ category’), while the Mazda CX-5 completed the podium in third place with 641 units.
Mazda’s other offering in this space, the CX-30, saw 404 registrations in July 2024 to place ahead of the Proton X70 with just 276 units. The latter’s sales performance is due to a run-out of the existing model, with the facelifted model – launching this week – expected to see sales climb for the coming months.
Outside the top five, deliveries of the GWM Tank 300 hit 83 units last month and is followed by the Volkswagen Tiguan (79 units), Subaru XV (70 units), Subaru Forester (55 units) and Nissan X-Trail (46 units). SUVs that did not hit double digits are the Peugeot 5008 (six units), Hyundai Tucson (five units) and Jaecoo J7 (five units).
The CR-V isn’t just the leader in July 2024 but also currently holds a commanding advantage in terms of year-to-date (YTD) sales. In the first seven months of 2024 from January to July, 7,052 units of the CR-V have been registered, placing it comfortably ahead of the CX-5 with 4,299 units.
The X70 and CX-30 are in a tight battle for third, with the former narrowly edging out the latter by just 16 units. As for the Tiggo 7 Pro, it sits fifth overall with 2,000 units, while models that come after it are the Tiguan (543 units), XV (491 units), Forester (432 units), X-Trail (400 units), Tank 300 (89 units), Tucson (22 units), 5008 (14 units) and J7 (nine units). Deliveries of the J7 are expected to pick up after dealers receive units to be handed over to customers in the coming months.
With five months to go until the end of 2024, do you think the facelifted X70 will overtake the CX-5 and CR-V to secure the top spot? Which models do you think will end up on the podium?
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Ignoring the selling price of the cars in the list below is what I think;
– Mazda CX-30 is B-segment
– Peugeot 5008 is D-segment, the Peugeot 3008 is the real C-segment
the rest are truly C-segments SUV
cx30 is a c seg. is a jacked up m3. its a small c competing directly with cross, zrv (if it is sold here)
6th-place and below
Can tutup kedai dah
Can you elaborate why 5008 is d segment? It’s dimensions are smaller than a crv iinm.
cx-30 is not a b-segment
Mazda CX-30 is a crossover version of Mazda 3
Peugeot 3008 is a 5-seater while Peugeot 5008 is a 7-seater ….. both share the same platform and are in the C-segment category
I thought Subaru XV is B-segment?
Subaru XV/Crosstrek is a crossover version of the Impreza which qualifies as a C-segment
In Msia XVs are marketed at closer to B-segment crossovers pricing, hence the misconception as B-segment by many folks
Again, since when XV is a C-segment?
Trying to messed up other brands categorization so that Proton doesn’t look bad?
Why no Toyota in the list?
B-segment
CRV still King in C-segment.
Cherry Tiggo has cannabalised some of the X70 sales,from the report.(pricing wise)
At one time X70 can sell 2000 units a month..now not even 300 units.The facelifted x70,maybe add another 100 units monthly.
Corolla Cross is less than 5 units? Haaa
Cross is not C segment
Toyota Corolla Cross mana? bukan C-segment ke?
Cherry Tiggo taking on the place from Mazda (month-on-‘month) but CRV is still on top.
Yeah at the moment but heard that mazda sales will not sustain longer and now very shaky position, it is matter of time where mazda specs already lost and soon that performance for mazda will unable to compete with others
Where did you get that from? Mazda Malaysia sales is keep increasing YTY hence there alot of CX30 and spotted good numbers of facelift CX5 on the road despite the expensive price. Bermaz aims to lure Germans cars buyers and they succeed. They even claimed they are after profit margin not amount of units. So go screw yourself pls
CRV practically has no competition. RAV4 is not sold here.
Only competitor worthy is maybe the aging CX5.
Those Tiggo Tiggo can only sustain the initial wave, then interest will die and they have to constantly throw goodies and discount.
And please don’t put X70 and CRV in the same sentence. Opps.
Nissan, Peugeot and Hyundai can be a top players if they get their shit together
Where is Toyota hah? Malaysian think that their Corolla Cross is C-segment. Hahaha. RAV4 IS C-segment, but GHAIB SUDAH. DEAD ALREADY.
Dear Paul Tan,
Subaru XV, as pointed by the others here, is not C-segment SUV. It belong to B-segment.
Gerard Lye,
CX-30 is C-segment? Same as CX-5? You better check again.
Where is Corolla Cross? Wtf are u doing paultan?
I’m quite sure that I saw at least two people bought GLC between January till April this year near my workplace.
What happened to Toyota Corolla Cross? Not considered an SUV? YTD also not a single unit sold?
Who needs P1 when there are available better options…market forces says it all. P1 still in denial mode.
Woo, C – Segment, spesis luv to Hogging the right lane..Bravo’
Minimum requirements to be qualified for C Segment SUV
1.2.0NA or 1.4 Turbo
2.C Segment chassis
3.Multilink or Double wishbone rear suspension
Based on above criteria,
a.Cross is out (1.8NA & torsion beam)
b.CX30 is out (torsion beam)
c.XV is qualified as it fulfill all three plus AWD as bonus
crv, not the cheapest one but still can surpassed x70. impressive. the reason is new facelift make more sale. while, cx-5 still same look and body, only make sale from hard die fan. even really hard to achieve 1000 unit permonth. and people who asking where corolla cross? already kena scammed think cross is “family car” big like crv, but the rear seat is crampy, even b-segment hrv is more spacious.
Seems like all the jabs you posted against mazda are not working. Sad. Why don’t you just do me favor jump off the cliff?
why tank 300 with rm250k in c segment?
