Perodua sold 359,904 units in 2025, which is a new record for the perennial market leader. It’s 0.5% or nearly 2,000 units more than the 358,102 sold in 2024. That was the previous record, itself an 8.4% increase over 2023’s 330,325 units, which was then a record. The bar before that? 2022, of course.
The productive people at Sg Choh generally sell whatever they can make, so with sales limited only by production, Perodua is equally as proud of the 370,370 units that rolled out of its gates in 2025, up 0.6% from 368,100 vehicles made in 2024.
Market share follows the record-breaking trend. Perodua is estimating Malaysia’s total industry volume (TIV) to be 820,000 units for 2025 (we’ll get the official figures from the Malaysian Automotive Association later this month), and with that as the backdrop, P2’s market share would be 43.9%. The company’s market share in 2024 was 44%, so it’ll be some time more before Rawang sells half of all new cars in Malaysia, if it were to happen.
As for who did what, the Bezza was the biggest sales contributor with 100,488 units sold in 2025. That makes it two consecutive years of sales above 100,000 units for the compact sedan, which is Malaysia’s most popular car. This is a remarkable achievement when you consider the Bezza’s age – it was launched back in July 2016 and is the oldest model in P2’s current range. Perodua’s second is the overall second – the Axia did 84,291 units last year.
As of November 2025, the Proton Saga was in fourth place year-to-date, less than 1,000 units behind the Perodua Myvi that was clinging on to third. Alas, the Saga failed to prevent P2’s domination of the podium and the Myvi hung on with 72,724 units.
“The Bezza, Axia and Myvi remained the top three models in terms of registration in the country and we are thankful to all Malaysians for continuing to support us as we thrive to offer better value through our offerings,” Perodua president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said in his constructors’ champion speech, adding that the impact of the recently-launched QV-E and Traz will only be seen in 2026.
By the way, 2025 is the third year running that the 1-2-3 overall position went to the Bezza, Axia and Myvi respectively. In 2022, it was Myvi-Bezza-Axia and it 2021 it was Myvi-Axia-Bezza, as per 2020. In each year from 2020 to 2025, the Proton Saga was in fourth place.
With a major refresh for 2026, can the Saga finally break Perodua’s stranglehold of the podium? Surely that has to be the minimum for a company that pledged to be Malaysia’s market leader (dislodge Perodua, in other words) and a top-three carmaker in ASEAN by 2027, a goal Proton reaffirmed in 2023.
Speaking of ASEAN, Perodua’s record 2025 means that it has maintained its position as the second biggest carmaker in the region by sales, behind only Toyota. In 2024, P2 overtook Honda in the ASEAN league, which is remarkable given that P2 only sells cars in Malaysia with negligible exports to Indonesia.
