Perodua currently has 68,000 outstanding bookings, 28,000 already with approved bank loans

With a record 358,100 vehicles sold last year, demand for Perodua cars is higher than ever before. It’s telling that despite production also hitting a record 368,100 vehicles – well north of the 320,000 unit capacity at its two plants – the company still has a log book of 68,000 outstanding bookings yet to clear.

“Despite our planned slowdown in production and sales, demand for our vehicles remains healthy with current outstanding booking at 68,000 units, of which 28,000 bookings have letters of undertaking issued without stock,” said Perodua president and CEO Zainal Abidin Ahmad.

This means that 28,000 buyers already have approved bank loans and are only awaiting the stock to arrive. Zainal said Perodua will continue to prioritise delivery while maintaining its quality and safety standards.

The national carmaker will have an almighty hard time keeping up with all this demand in 2025, given it expects to produce and sell fewer cars as it plans to make plant improvements, increase stamping capacity and develop new models and their associated tooling. Those new models include Perodua’s first EV, either a new Bezza or Myvi and a facelifted Ativa.

      We r talking about at least 75 days wait for delivery.
      Why not do our due diligence.
      There r some pretty good deals..preowned Peroduas with authentic service records ,and low mileage.
      Cars do not need to be brand new…which cost a bomb for those who barely qualify.
      It is just psychological…wah,abang ,keta baru untuk balik kampong.
      Even Birkin handbags..second hand..not bad..just as impressive.

      Should we be happy if BoonSiew announce record breaking sales for kapcais too? Nope. We should be ashamed & worry that folks are going for the most cheapest & lowest brand they could afford.

    Basically sales are for the most cheapest basic brand P2 and it indicates that people are having to buy downwards; people previously going for Toyotas have downgrade to P2. This is bad sign of our economy and how this Govt is fumbling it in the face of Trump upheavals.

      Alternatively, Malaysian actually getting smart and coming to their senses that cars are merely a tool of life, a means to an end, not a status symbol to be flaunting and splurging needlessly on.

  • Proton probably having ready stock in their showrooms. Only P2 is addressing the B40 and lower M40 tiers
