Proton X50 sales are up 79.8% in August.

The Malaysian new car market is up 4.6% year-on-year in August to 78,474 units. The year-to-date tally stands at 547,378. Perodua (-7.8%) can’t take advantage of its home market growth and falls to 40.8% share vs. 46.3% a year ago. In contrast Proton (+18.4%) and Toyota (+9.1%) improve their share to 18.6% and 14.8% respectively. Honda (-20.8%) craters at #4 ahead of a surging Chery (+692.5%). BYD (+109.9%) and Jaecoo (+87.2%) shine while Mitsubishi (+21%) and Mercedes (+17.1%) also shine in the remainder of the Top 10.

Model-wise, the Top 5 is unchanged on last month and year-to-date but the Perodua Alza (+8%) is the only member in positive. The Perodua Bezza (-10.7%) suffers the most, followed by the Axia (-3.5%), Myvi (-3.3%) and Proton Saga (-0.3%). The Proton X50 (+79.8%), a rebadged Geely Coolray/Binyue scores by far the biggest year-on-year gain in the Top 20 and climbs four spots on last month to #6, ascending to #9 YTD as a result. This is thanks to a noticeable facelift. The Toyota Hilux (+21.2%) and Vios (+10.6%) also impress with double-digit upticks in the remainder of the Top 10. The Chery Tiggo 7 Pro (#20) and Proton e.MAS 7 (#21) are the most popular recent launches.

Previous month: Malaysia July 2025: Perodua up to 44.6% share

One year ago: Malaysia August 2024: Perodua holds 46.3% share, Bezza, Axia and Myvi on top

MiThe Mitsubishi ASX sold in New Caledonia is not the European model.

Continuing social unrest means New Caledonian new car sales freefall again through September at -23.3% to 2,487 units. Keep in mind the year-ago volume was already off -48.7% on the year prior. Toyota (-41.7%) falls markedly faster than the market, seeing its share reduced to 14%. In contrast Renault (-7.6%) and Suzuki (-13.2%) resist relatively well in context and complete the podium like they did over the Full Year 2024. Hyundai (+1.1%) is the only gainer in the Top 8 and climbs four spots to #4. Dacia (-45.3%) and Peugeot (-30.1%) are hit the hardest below but Mitsubishi (+22.1%) and Subaru (+21.3%) post market-defying surges to close out the Top 10. BAIC (+94.7%), Fiat (+54.2%) and BYD (+15.4%) also impress further down.

Over in the models charts, the Toyota Hilux (-51.6%) stays on top but loses over half its year-ago volume. It is followed this time by the Suzuki Swift (-9.3%) passing the Dacia Duster (-31.5%). The Ford Ranger (+11.8%) is actually up to #4 while the Mitsubishi ASX (+64.5%) and Renault Kangoo (+9.4%) also post year-on-year upticks in the remainder of the Top 10. The Renault Master (-3.4%), Hyundai Tucson (-7.5%) and Suzuki Jimny (-10.3%) resist but the Citroen Berlingo (-28.8%) dives.
