The Road Transport Department’s (JPJ) latest registration data is out, and it’s starting to sound like a broken record (forgive the pun) for Perodua, whose Bezza-Axia-Myvi triumvirate stays glued to the 1-2-3 podium, selling 9,507, 7,625 and 6,533 units in November for year-to-date (YTD) sums of 91,453, 80,810 and 66,269 units respectively. Will the Bezza break 100k this year?
In fifth and sixth are the Alza (Nov 4,118, YTD nearly 40k) and Ativa (Nov 2,478, YTD 32,833). Aruz aside, which lags a long way behind in 14th (Nov 1,547, YTD 14,574), Sungai Choh’s chart-topping streak is bisected by Proton’s best-seller, the Saga, in fourth (Nov 5,436, YTD almost 64k).
You’ll find the next Proton in 10th – the X50 (Nov 1,873, YTD 20,386) is just ahead of the Honda HR-V in 11th (Nov 1,923, YTD 18,587) while the Toyota Corolla Cross is far down in 16th (Nov 700, YTD 12,687) because it’s transitioning to the KLIMS-launched facelift.
At 12th and 13th are Protons Persona (Nov 1,394, YTD 17,311) and S70 (Nov 1,301, YTD 17,235), some way away from Toyota’s and Honda’s champions, the Vios (Nov 2,742, YTD 25,647) and City (Nov 2,130, YTD 24,887) at seventh and eighth. Note that the City’s numbers include the hatchback, whereas the Vios is separate from the Yaris, which is all the way down in 19th (Nov 945, YTD 9,398). Apples to apples, it’s 35,045 Toyota Vios/Yaris versus 24,887 Honda City sedan/hatchback.
Toyota’s runner-up is the ninth-placed Hilux (Nov 2,177, YTD 22,094), Malaysia’s best-selling pick-up truck by miles, because no other pick-up truck made the list. The third Toyota is the Alphard (Nov 1,276, YTD 14,027) in 15th, including reconditioned units and excluding Vellfires. That’s more sold than the Corolla Cross, Honda Civic (17th, Nov 1,298, YTD 11,572) and Honda CR-V (18th, Nov 751, YTD 10,379).
Perodua and Honda are the only carmakers with their entire range in the top 20 (yes, Type R falls under Civic). P2’s total is now 325,898 – a whisker away from its record 330,325 units last year – which means it needs to sell some 27,000 cars this month to hit its 353,000-unit goal for 2024. With less than 30 days to go before 2024 says goodbye – will Malaysia break another record with 800,000 new cars on the road?
