Here we are – the 20 best-selling cars in Malaysia in July 2025, thanks to the road transport department’s (JPJ) latest data. Perodua’s Bezza (9,771 units) and Axia (7,980) are top two, of course, but the Proton Saga, which was third in June, has been overtaken by the Perodua Myvi‘s 6,530 units (minuscule 30-unit gap), giving Sungai Choh the whole podium for the month.
The Saga is actually doing very well given that everyone knows a new model is coming – July is in fact its best month so far this year, with 6,500 units registered. It’s the only thing denying Perodua a clean 1-5 sweep for the month – the Alza did 5,016 for fifth; the Ativa 2,836 for sixth. That’s not to discredit Perodua’s July sales, because it was the best month so far this year for the Bezza, Axia and Alza.
Monthly-wise, there are no changes to positions 7-9 (Vios, Hilux, City sedan + hatchback), but the Proton X50 (1,932, pre-facelift + facelift) has climbed three spots to beat the Toyota Alphard (1,715, mostly ‘recon‘) to 10th. In 12th and 13th are the third- and fourth-best-selling Protons respectively – the Persona (1,499, up two spots from June) and the S70 (1,398, down two spots from June).
The Perodua Aruz (1,353), which just got a minor update, has dropped three spots to 15th for the month, while the only Chinese car on both monthly and year-to-date (YTD) lists – the Jaecoo J7 – managed 1,016 units in July (pretty consistent). Honda’s Civic (894), HR-V (819) and CR-V (783) retain positions 17-19 from June, and 20th is no longer the Toyota Veloz but the Mitsubishi Xpander (719).
Now, how’s the year looking so far? Pretty much as expected, although the Toyota Alphard (now 12th) and Honda HR-V (now 13th) have changed places, with 824 units between them. Barring any unforeseen upsets, the YTD list should carry on pretty much like this until the year is out.

None of the top 20 models for the 7 months of 2025 are EVs. Malaysia has a long way to go for EV acceptance.
This table is making Honda Msia so worried. YTD vios, hilux, corolla cross alone is 44-45k units. While Honda top 4 selling cars were just registering 35k.
The power of “steering rack”
Is not bad at all
now comes with fuel pump recall
Exactly. HM in “steering rack” denial far too long now gained public infamy affecting sales. Buyers think if can take risk with Honda, might as well try Chinese brands.
19% tariff already discount rate and lower than few of our neigbour countries, i guess even trump must have learned from Loke to give discounts , tq PH tq AI we love you three thousand.
Alphard itself bring RM 5B revenue for UMW…??
7 Toyota and Toyota’s link company cars are in top 10.
X50 downgrading from top selling SUV to top selling B-segment SUV. Later will become top selling local B-segment SUV.
“C-segment” S70 below even to Hilux and Alphard. That’s pathetic for a new model.
this kind of result is sad, we only can purchase junkies compare with other nation
