Top 20 cars in June 2025 – Bezza, Axia on top; Saga overtakes Myvi; Jaecoo J7 outsells Corolla Cross

Top 20 cars in June 2025 – Bezza, Axia on top; Saga overtakes Myvi; Jaecoo J7 outsells Corolla Cross

JPJ has released the latest vehicle registration data for June 2025, so here’s the top 20 best-selling models last month and cumulatively for the first six months of this year, which completes the first half of 2025.

Of course, the 1H 2025 podium is a Perodua clean sweep. Old but gold sales phenomenon Bezza sits comfortably at the top (6,150 units in June and 46,175 year-to-date), the Axia is in second (5,207 units in June, 40,653 YTD) and the Myvi is in third (4,183 units in June, 34,148 YTD).

Taking a (short) break from the P2s is the Proton Saga in fourth with 30,985 units YTD, although Proton’s best-selling model actually overtook the Myvi to be third in June with 5,195 units. With a new Saga launching at the end of 2025, can the Proton break P2’s stranglehold of the podium? Or will it come too late?

We’re back with the Rawang carmaker in fourth, where the Perodua Alza sold 2,807 units in June for 21,600 YTD. The MPV is followed by P2’s sole SUV, the Ativa with 2,675 units in June and 16,740 YTD. Yup, five of the top six cars are Peroduas, which is why P2’s total sales for 1H 2025 (166,188) is more than twice Proton’s (69,771), although the No.2 brand does have a few big cards coming in the second half.

The top non-national model last month was the Toyota Vios in seventh (2,273 units), which outsold both arch-rival Honda City (1,643, sedan plus hatchback) and the ‘better value’ Proton S70 (1,395). The City is ninth in the league while the S70 is outside the top 10.

If we look at these three B-segment sedans in the YTD chart below, the City’s slender lead over the Vios is no more, and the Toyota has its neck ahead now (13,388 vs 12,875). The S70, which claims to be a C-segment model but with B-segment pricing, is down in 11th with 9,272 units.

At launch, Proton said that it expects S70 sales to surpass the X50, but that hasn’t been the case – with 10,314 units YTD, the SUV pipped the sedan to 10th place. Actually, the X50’s figures are surprisingly good for a car that’s on the verge of being replaced by a heavy facelift, which has been previewed and will be officially launched soon. After that, it will surely leave the S70 in the dust, so to speak.

Elsewhere, we have a perennial top 10 model, the Toyota Hilux in eighth with 2,196 units sold last month (YTD ninth, 11,317). While this is nothing new, it’s still shocking to see that no other pick-up truck is in the top 20 – rivals may be newer; they may have better specs, more power, etc; but the Hilux is untouchable.

In the super hot sub-RM150k non-national SUV market, the Jaecoo J7 (1,119) outsold the Toyota Corolla Cross (1,103) and Honda HR-V (712) last month, but the latter is preparing for a facelift that’s now open for booking. In the larger 1H 2025 picture, the HR-V (8,673) holds a decent lead over the Corolla Cross (7,661) and J7 (5,858) – with a facelift just around the corner, the Honda is a good bet for the second half. Sitting in 17th, the J7 is the only Chinese brand vehicle in the top 20.

There are only two non-Perodua MPVs in the list and they couldn’t be more different – Toyota Alphard in 13th (mostly ‘recon’) and the Mitsubishi Xpander (4,776 units, 19th). EVs? The Proton eMas 7 was the first EV to enter the monthly top 20 in April, but it has failed to do so for two months running.

    Toyota Alphard outselling Honda CR-V and HR-V by a mile. That’s the signal for Madanon to raise SST to 12%. Rakyat mana ada susah? MPV mahakaya T0.5 lebih laku daripada SUV Honda M40. Maknanya, rakyat tidak susah dan kuasa membeli kekal kukuh. Alhamdulillah, rakyat mampu bayar lagi banyak cukai.

      I havent done the math, but Id guess total revenue from the Alphards dwarfs total revenue from all the other models there. Alphard roughly 0.3% of the total units on that list lol. Economy literally in motion by the rich.

      Top 20 Total = 44,226 units
      Alphard = 1,490

      it’s only 3.36%

      how is this a signal that the B40 and M40 dah kaya?

      why does DK insist that alphard (including recond) is for the T0.5? recond alpard which starts from price 200k should be within reach of T20 buying power and T20 is 20% of total population. i would conclude that is either a signal of toyota strong brand power ahead of honda, or maybe malaysian love panel sliding door van.

      math isn’t DK strong suit.

    Remove car import tax and then we’ll see how the list goes. Bezza and Axia are top sellers because that’s the only new cars people can afford, and still on 9 years loans.

      Its really sad when a person supposedly belonging in the top 10% can only afford a Mercedes.

      I knew a Chinese guy whom is in that 10% elite club, he rides around in a Toyota 4×4 despite having an S Class which he despise. He earn his respect not when people saw him getting in or out of his rides. Its from him being him.

  • Showing that malaysian is poor with all the perodua models on top. Malaysians buy perodua not due to preferences but budget!

    Generally, Toyota’s (including Perodua) related cars dominate the top 10 ranking.
