The Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) has released vehicle sales data for the month of November 2025, reporting that a total of 72,509 units units were delivered to buyers last month. This represents a drop of 4.6%, or 3,482 units, from the 75,991 units (originally reported as 75,992 units) sold in October.
According to the association, despite the reduction from the record-setting month, the sales performance in November was still commendably high due to the continuation of aggressive promotion campaigns from October and the ongoing rush by consumers to purchase CBU battery EVs before tax exemptions end for CBU EVs on December 31, 2025.
November’s numbers are also a 5.5% (or 3,760 units) improvement over the same month in 2024, where 68,749 units of passenger and commercial vehicles were shifted. As for the year-to-date (YTD) figure, the 2025 total heading into the final stretch of the year stands at 727,836 vehicles sold, just 1.15% behind the corresponding period in 2024, when 736,317 units were delivered.
Given the numbers in November, the total industry volume (TIV) is expected to comfortably exceed the 780,000 unit forecast for 2025, although it is now looking unlikely that the final tally will surpass last year’s record TIV of 816,747 units.
Despite this, the association said it anticipates the sales momentum in December to carry on strongly from November, as demand for fully-imported EVs continue until the end of the year.
