The highway transport division’s (JPJ) June numbers are out, and positions one to seven are unchanged from Could – Perodua (22,328 models, its lowest month-to-month gross sales thus far this yr), Proton (10,638), Toyota (9,946), Honda (4,495), Jaecoo (1,609), BYD (1,045) and Mitsubishi (888, its lowest month-to-month gross sales thus far this yr).
Tesla was eighth in Could with 1,075 models (thanks Juniper!) nevertheless it has dropped to eleventh in June (587 models). The brand new eighth-placer is Chery (884), up two spots and 90 models from Could. Mercedes-Benz stays ninth with 733 models, though it bought 243 models much less month-on-month. BMW bought 620 models in June for tenth place, two spots up from Could when it bought 635 models.
There’s a brand new entry within the month-to-month checklist, and it’s Chopper – looks as if deliveries have lastly begun in earnest. And what a begin – 270 models shoots it proper as much as 18th, simply behind Nissan’s 323 models at seventeenth and forward of Porsche’s 207 at nineteenth and MINI’s 201 at twentieth. Jetour is the fifth Chinese language model within the June high 20.
Now how does the yr appear to be thus far? Perodua stands at 2.4 occasions Proton (although brother ought to choose up pace as soon as the “all-new” X50 launches), but when Sungai Choh needs to hit its 345k-unit full-year goalit’s at present a bit of bit behind. Toyota is at 57,370; Honda 35,471 – the hole is wider than it was in Could.
The remaining are all fairly distant, which supplies you a way of the dominance of the P2-P1-T-H quartet. The following year-to-date quantity you see is 9,175, and it belongs to Jaecoo, the best-selling Chinese language model in Malaysia thus far. Very constant month-to-month, too – an indication of regular demand.
Mitsubishi is holding on to sixth with 6,724 models, protecting BYD (5,400) and Chery (4,991) at bay. Be careful for Chery although, because the recently-launched Tiggo Cross is proving to be fairly common. Will we see the sub-RM100k SUV’s results in July, or solely in August?
