JPJ has launched the most recent automobile registration knowledge for June 2025, so right here’s the highest 20 best-selling fashions final month and cumulatively for the primary six months of this 12 months, which completes the primary half of 2025.
In fact, the 1H 2025 podium is a Perodua clear sweep. Outdated however gold gross sales phenomenon Bezza sits comfortably on the high (6,150 items in June and 46,175 year-to-date), the Axia is in second (5,207 items in June, 40,653 YTD) and the Myvi is in third (4,183 items in June, 34,148 YTD).
Taking a (quick) break from the P2s is the Proton Saga in fourth with 30,985 items YTD, though Proton’s best-selling mannequin truly overtook the Myvi to be third in June with 5,195 items. With a new Saga launching on the finish of 2025can the Proton break P2’s stranglehold of the rostrum? Or will it come too late?
We’re again with the Rawang carmaker in fourth, the place the Perodua Alza offered 2,807 items in June for 21,600 YTD. The MPV is adopted by P2’s sole SUV, the Ativa with 2,675 items in June and 16,740 YTD. Yup, 5 of the highest six automobiles are Peroduas, which is why P2’s complete gross sales for 1H 2025 (166,188) is greater than twice Proton’s (69,771), though the No.2 model does have a couple of huge playing cards coming within the second half.
The highest non-national mannequin final month was the Toyota Vios in seventh (2,273 items), which outsold each arch-rival Honda Metropolis (1,643, sedan plus hatchback) and the ‘higher worth’ Proton S70 (1,395). The Metropolis is ninth within the league whereas the S70 is exterior the highest 10.
If we take a look at these three B-segment sedans within the YTD chart beneath, the Metropolis’s slender lead over the Vios isn’t any extra, and the Toyota has its neck forward now (13,388 vs 12,875). The S70, which claims to be a C-segment mannequin however with B-segment pricing, is down in eleventh with 9,272 items.
At launch, Proton mentioned that it expects S70 gross sales to surpass the X50, however that hasn’t been the case – with 10,314 items YTD, the SUV pipped the sedan to tenth place. Really, the X50’s figures are surprisingly good for a automotive that’s on the verge of being changed by a heavy facelift, which has been previewed and might be formally launched quickly. After that, it can absolutely depart the S70 within the mud, so to talk.
Elsewhere, now we have a perennial high 10 mannequin, the Toyota Hilux in eighth with 2,196 items offered final month (YTD ninth, 11,317). Whereas that is nothing new, it’s nonetheless surprising to see that no different pick-up truck is within the high 20 – rivals could also be newer; they could have higher specs, extra energy, and so forth; however the Hilux is untouchable.
Within the tremendous scorching sub-RM150k non-national SUV market, the Jaecoo J7 (1,119) outsold the Toyota Corolla Cross (1,103) and Honda HR-V (712) final month, however the latter is making ready for a facelift that’s now open for reserving. Within the bigger 1H 2025 image, the HR-V (8,673) holds an honest lead over the Corolla Cross (7,661) and J7 (5,858) – with a facelift simply across the nook, the Honda is an efficient wager for the second half. Sitting in seventeenth, the J7 is the one Chinese language model automobile within the high 20.
There are solely two non-Perodua MPVs within the checklist they usually couldn’t be extra totally different – Toyota Alphard in thirteenth (largely ‘recon’) and the Mitsubishi Xpander (4,776 items, nineteenth). EVs? The Proton eMas 7 was the primary EV to enter the month-to-month high 20 in April, but it surely has failed to take action for 2 months operating.
