The JPJ vehicle registration data for the month of March 2025 has shown that the Malaysian automotive landscape has somewhat returned to normalcy, at least for the top 20 best-selling models that you can see here.
After a rather odd start to the year, the Perodua Bezza is now firmly at the top of the list (8,517 units in March, 23,335 YTD), followed by the Axia (7,031, 21,223 YTD) and then the Myvi (6,593 ,18,183 YTD) – the traditional top three order. The Proton Saga is in a solid fourth place (5,891, 15,364 YTD), though the brand’s claim of it selling over 6,000 units evidently includes quite a few export sales too.
Moving further down, the Honda City had an impressive showing in March, with its 3,541 units (City Sedan and Hatchback combined) outgunning the Perodua Ativa (3,154), Toyota Vios (2,360) and Proton S70 (2,119). The S70, at the very least, has jumped the Civic again to regain its class lead, having lost it in February.
Meanwhile, the Honda HR-V (2,676) continued to outsell the Proton X50 (1,795) and Toyota Corolla Cross (1,486), while the CR-V (1,077) narrowly beat the only Chinese car on the list, the Jaecoo J7 (1,068). The J7 is still ahead on the YTD list, though – 2,706 vs 2,399.
The Toyota Hilux remains as the only pick-up truck model in the top 20 with 1,745 units registered in March, while the Mitsubishi Xpander (949) continues to feature on the list, though barely.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Mana Proton X70? Murah tapi tak laku…
Design org tua
The rakyat didn’t want 3 cylinder engines. Can’t you read the peoples mind dear proton?? And for the rakyat, proton should produce budget and safe car like pero2. Why on earth are you competing with those foreign giant on our own soil???
Another Sad day for for warga SjkC
Looking sales between between vios and city, city actually beats vios even if city does not combine with city hatchback and if yaris does not combine with vios, as sales gap between yaris and city hatchback aren’t far away
Malaysian do have a lot of rich people,toyota Alphard outsales Proton X50 what a surprise!
No people buy mazda anymore?
No Chinese Omoda? No wonder they offered free ride to Putra Heights victims. Stock tak terjual melambak.
Then why many people buying chery omada 5
another day of honda combining sedan and hatchback stats
The charts shows people more interested to buy easy maintenance and fuel saving practical car, don’t care even is with tofu chasis or lousy handling.
Try to remove price protection for perodua and see what happen.
Why so many people like to drive something awful like alphard
Jaecoo J7 making the Top 20 list is indeed an eye opener.
Hope the price competition gets more intense.
This is benefit us as consumers getting actual value of our money’s worth.
Toyota : its ok, let them combine sedan and hatch sales. It won’t affect us.
Studied carefully, you will know why toyota is losing sales to honda, especially if take out combination between sedan and hatchback, still honda wins over toyota with hatchback are competitive but only toyota fanboys can’t accept reality on why toyota sales are losing to honda
In 2024 Toyota sold 5 cars every time honda sold 4. It was 100k versus 80k. U r so sew peed. This year looking like same thing. Just wait.
Wait till it comes, it’s too early to conclude
Wait till it comes, it’s too early to conclude. Yes, 2024, Toyota is king of non-national car brand, but for 2025, wait and see, it’s too early for you to conclude
And yeah, did you know that if without recon cars, did you realize that toyota is slowly losing to honda, which you don’t know
