PROTON registrations for February 2019 totalled 5,283 units. The numbers represent an estimated market share of 12.7%, an increase of over 3% compared to the same month in 2018.
With February being a short month and traditional low period for car sales in Malaysia, due to Chinese New Year holidays, the majority of automotive brands projected a slower month. PROTON however bucked the trend as sales showed a healthy increase of 37% year on year. Therefore, for the first two months of 2019, sales have grown by a cumulative figure of 42% over 2018.
Registrations for the Proton X70 continue to increase in volume with each passing month. 2,823 units were registered in February, a number that includes 1,000 units delivered on the same day to customers throughout the country prior to Chinese New Year.
As at the end of February, over 20,000 bookings have been placed for PROTON’s first SUV.
Having registered 6,927 units of the Proton X70 since it was launched on 12 December 2018, PROTON has set a new record for SUV registrations in the first three months after its launch.
