Myvi remains the hottest Perodua model in 2019

KUALA LUMPUR: The year 2019 has been exceptional for the Malaysian automaker, with a YoY growth of 5.8 per cent, Perodua claimed 40 per cent of the Malaysian car market. Going beyond expectations, the company recorded the highest ever annual car sales last year, with a total of 240,341 units sold.

Amongst the sold units, the Myvi secured the top spot as it was the most in-demand Perodua model in 2019 followed by the Axia, Bezza, Aruz and Alza in exact same order. The Perodua models led their respective segments with an overwhelming response from the local buyers.

The Perodua Aruz was sold 30,115 times in 2019 which also made it the country’s best-selling SUV. Talking about the recently introduced Bezza facelift, more than 2,000 units have already been delivered to the customers, with around 15,000 bookings registered.

Moving forward, the group plans to target an annual sales figure of 240,000 units this year which can be said to be practical despite staggering numbers from the 2019 Performance Report. The production, however, will be increased this year from 244,000 units last year to 254,000 units in 2020.

Perodua’s CEO and president, Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad said, "On the back of strong demand, we foresee our sales performance this year to be on par with last year's. We are setting a 2020 sales target of 240,000 units and are cautiously optimistic that it is attainable despite a more competitive market this year.”

To benefit the local market, the company plans to spend a total of RM 6 billion this year buying locally-sourced components, up from Rm 5.4 billion in 2019. "RM150 million will be used for research and development. In 2020, this will be focused on our race track, the construction of which is ongoing, and we hope to complete it by the end of this year,” Zainal Abidin added.
