Perodua sold 359,904 units in 2025, which is a new record for the perennial market leader. It is 0.5% or almost 2,000 units more than the 358,102 units sold in 2024. That was the previous record, itself an increase of 8.4% from the 330,325 units in 2023, which was a record at the time. The bar before that? 2022 of course.
The productive people at Sg Choh generally sell what they can make, so with sales limited only by production, Perodua is equally proud of the 370,370 units that rolled out of the factory in 2025, a 0.6% increase from the 368,100 vehicles produced in 2024.
The market share follows the record trend. Perodua estimates Malaysia’s total industrial volume (TIV) at 820,000 units for 2025 (we’ll get the official figures from the Malaysian Automotive Association later this month), and with that as background, P2’s market share would be 43.9%. The company’s market share in 2024 was 44%, so it will be some time before Rawang sells half of all new cars in Malaysia, if that were to happen.
As for who did what, the Bezza was the biggest contributor to sales with 100,488 units sold by 2025. That means the compact sedan, Malaysia’s most popular car, has topped 100,000 units for two consecutive years of sales. This is a remarkable achievement considering the age of the Bezza: it was launched in July 2016 and is the oldest model in P2’s current range. Perodua’s second is second overall; the Axia produced 84,291 units last year.
As of November 2025, the Proton Saga ranked fourth this year, less than 1,000 units behind the Perodua Myvi which clung to third place. Unfortunately, the Saga failed to prevent P2’s dominance on the podium and the Myvi held 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 grateful to all Malaysians for continuing to support us as we seek to deliver better value through our offerings,” Perodua president and CEO Datuk Seri Zainal Abidin Ahmad said in his championship speech to manufacturers, adding that the impact of the newly launched QV-E and Traz will not be seen until 2026.
By the way, 2025 is the third year in a row that the 1-2-3 final position went to the Bezza, Axia and Myvi respectively. In 2022 it was Myvi-Bezza-Axia and in 2021 it was Myvi-Axia-Bezza, according to 2020. In each year from 2020 to 2025, the Proton Saga ranked fourth.
With a major overhaul set for 2026, can Saga finally break Perodua’s stranglehold on the podium? That has to be the minimum for a company that has promised to be Malaysia’s market leader by 2027 (in other words, ousting Perodua) and a top three car manufacturer in ASEAN, a goal that Proton reaffirmed in 2023.
Speaking of ASEAN, Perodua’s record in 2025 means it has retained its position as the region’s second-largest automaker by sales, behind only Toyota. In 2024, P2 overtook Honda in the ASEAN competition, which is remarkable considering P2 only sells cars in Malaysia with negligible exports to Indonesia.
