It looks like 2019 has started off amazingly well for Perodua. From January until April, they’ve successfully sold 82,700 units which is a whopping 9.5% increase compared to the same period back in 2018 where they registered 75,500 vehicles.
That’s one heck of a boost and Perodua has stated that it is the highest number of vehicles Perodua has sold in the first four months of any year in its history.
According to Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad, “The sales figures, which are internally generated, show strong continued support for our products and we, along with the country’s automotive ecosystem, consisting mainly of suppliers and authorised dealers, are sincerely grateful for this endorsement.”
“While Perodua awaits the Malaysian Automotive Association’s (MAA) official total industry volume numbers, we believe that Perodua’s market share is above 43% for the four-month period, thus directly benefitting the domestic economy as a whole.”
“In fact, in the first four months of the year, Perodua spent RM1.8 billion on component purchases from local automotive suppliers and is on track to fulfil our commitment of RM5.4 billion in component purchases this year,” added Dato’ Zainal.
Looking at the model type, here’s how they fare in term of sales figure for the first four months of 2019:
- Myvi – 7,700 units
- Axia – 5,900 units
- Bezza – 4,200 units
- Aruz – 3,200 units
- Alza – 1,100 units
Commenting on the Aruz’s sales figures, Dato’ Zainal added “We are happy to report that in April we registered over 3,200 units – the most we have ever managed in a single month for the seven-seater SUV. This achievement is significant to us as the Aruz represents our latest transformation effort towards becoming a regional brand.”
Perodua will be running a special campaign throughout May in conjunction with the upcoming fasting month and Hari Raya Aidilfitri. To know more, head over to www.perodua.com.my or visit the nearest authorized showroom.
