A Hong Leong Investment Bank research report on MBM Resources has revealed that the Perodua QV-E has collected 1,700 bookings, according to the New Straits Times. The EV was ‘relaunched’ on June 15 with lower pricing – RM63,499 + RM215 a month for nine years (battery leasing), or RM87,499 if you want to own the whole thing. These prices include a RM6,500 rebate that runs until end-September.
The report does not say if the 1,700 bookings are all-time (since the original December 1, 2025 launch) or since June 15, but according to paultan.org Car Sales Data, only 182 QV-Es have been registered as of May, including 40 showroom and test drive cars. Over 72% of these registrations were in April and May (June figures not out yet), which is before the price went down.
The report also says that Perodua currently has a circa-43,000 order backlog (a far cry from 220,000 once upon a time) and the Traz has received encouraging demand (9,242 registered all-time according to paultan.org Car Sales Data).
It added that it expects the government’s matching grant programme for the scrapping of old cars to switch to a new national-brand car (up to RM2,000 + up to RM2,000), plus tax exemptions for Perodua taxis, to spur demand, and that Perodua’s after-sales volumes have been improving.

For context, the appearance of Perodua in the report is not random, as MBMR holds a 22.6% stake in the national automaker. It also operates the nation’s largest Perodua dealership network, DMM Sales Sdn Bhd (DMMS) and is the main shareholder of DMMS’ parent company, Daihatsu Malaysia Sdn Bhd (DMSB).
Not to forget, MBMR also supplies various auto components to Perodua. It is unclear where exactly HLIB got the numbers from, but it was noted in the disclaimer that the information stated in the report was based on data from sources “believed to be reliable”.
That being said, the disclaimer also said that the data and sources have not been independently verified.
