Perodua kekal kukuh dengan jualan bagi suku pertama 2019 dengan peningkatan 9.5 peratus kepada 82,700 unit dari Januari hingga akhir April berbanding 75,500 unit yang didaftarkan tahun lalu.
Ini merupakan pencapaian terbaik bagi suku pertama dalam sejarah Perodua.
Presiden dan Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Perodua Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad meluahkan terima kasih ke atas pencapaian tersebut.
“Angka jualan dalaman kami menunjukkan sokongan padu yang berterusan terhadap produk kami. Kami, bersama-sama dengan ekosistem automotif negara, yang kebanyakannya terdiri daripada pembekal dan pengedar sah, amat berterima kasih atas pengiktirafan ini.
“Sementara Perodua menantikan angka rasmi jumlah keseluruhan industri (TIV) daripada Persatuan Automotif Malaysia (MAA), kami percaya pegangan pasaran Perodua melebihi 43% bagi tempoh empat bulan pertama tahun ini, sekaligus memberi manfaat secara langsung kepada ekonomi domestik secara keseluruhan.
“Malah, dalam tempoh empat bulan pertama tahun ini, Perodua telah membelanjakan RM1.8 bilion untuk membeli komponen daripada pembekal automotif tempatan dan optimis dapat memenuhi komitmen kami untuk membeli RM5.4 bilion dalam komponen pada tahun ini,”jelasnya.
Dato’Zainal turut menegaskan Perodua akan terus berdaya saing untuk memenuhi komitmen membeli daripada pembekal komponen automotif domestik meskipun berdepan rintangan pasaran yang mencabar.
“Walaupun terlalu awal untuk menetapkan sasaran selepas 2019, kami yakin bahawa Perodua akan terus berkembang pada tahun 2020 dan seterusnya memberi manfaat kepada pembekal dan pengedar tempatan,”tambahnya.
Perodua mencatat jumlah pendaftaran yang tinggi pada bulan April dengan jualan lebih 7,700 Myvi, 5,900 Axia, 4,200 Bezza dan 1,100 Alza. Bagi model terbaru, Aruz, Perodua telah menerima pendaftaran lebih 3,200 unit bagi bulan April.
Jumlah jualan Perodua pada April 2019 melebihi 22,100 unit – peningkatan 11 peratus berbanding 19,939 unit pada tahun sebelumnya.
“Sejak Aruz dibuka untuk tempahan pada 3hb Januari lalu, hampir 20,000 tempahan telah diterima, iaitu dengan purata 170 tempahan setiap hari. Dan setakat hari ini, lebih daripada 9,800 Aruz telah diserahkan sejak pendaftaran bermula pada 31hb Januari – purata lebih daripada 100 unit setiap hari – menjadikan ia antara SUV paling laris di negara ini.
“Myvi kekal menjadi model terlaris kami – sejak pelancarannya pada November 2017, kami telah menyerahkan lebih daripada 115,000 unit kepada pelanggan kami, yang menggemari rekabentuk yang bergaya, kualiti, kecekapan bahan api, ruang dalaman yang luas serta ciri-ciri canggih yang diperolehi untuk harga tersebut,” ujar Dato’Zainal.
Nampak gaya sukar untuk menggugat populariti Perodua di kalangan rakyat Malaysia lagi-lagi penjualan model kereta serba boleh, Myvi!
Perodua has secured its first ever ride-hailing and ride-sharing service fleet purchase of 1,000 Perodua Bezza and Axia units. “We are pleased to announce that a ride-hailing and a ride-sharing service provider operating in Malaysia have purchased a combined 1,000 Axias and Bezzas,” said Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd Managing Director YBhg Dato’ Dr Zahari Husin. He said that the fleet sale to these service providers was significant to Perodua as it opens up yet another market for the compact carmaker.
“This is an important endorsement by companies that rely on good quality and safe cars which are also economical to maintain,” he added. “The proliferation of ride-hailing and ride-sharing services in Malaysia has revolutionised the way we get around, and Perodua is proud to be a part of this revolution towards more efficient and sustainable transport for all. We thank them for their support,” Dato’ Dr Zahari said.
All in all, over 300,000 Axias and 100,000 Bezzas have been sold since their launches in 2014 and 2016 respectively. They are both government-certified Energy-Efficient Vehicles (EEV) and have led their respective vehicle segments since their inception. Perodua recently launched a new Bezza variant (below) at the 2018 Malaysia Autoshow, held 26-29 April at the Malaysian Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS).
Replacing the 1.0 Standard G in the range, the Bezza GXtra offers a trim specification comparable to the 1.3 Premium X with no increase in price, giving buyers even more value for money.
Perodua has released new prices for all its models following the implementation of zero-rated Goods and Services Tax (GST) from 1 June 2018. “From 1 June, Perodua vehicles are, on average, priced 5.6% lower than before,” said Perodua Sales Sdn Bhd Managing Director YBhg Dato’ Dr Zahari Husin.

“As the government has announced that the Sales and Services Tax (SST) will return in September, we encourage all Malaysians to capitalise on this three-month tax holiday. There has never been a better time to buy a Perodua,” he added. With this, Perodua’s GST reimbursements for purchase, service and parts between 18 and 31 May comes to a close, as customers pay zero GST from 1 June.
On top of the zero GST, for June, Perodua is offering rebates of up to RM800 for selected models and variants. “Please visit any of our authorised sales and service outlets nationwide for more information on our products and services. We thank all Malaysians for their enduring support and wish all Muslims a blessed Ramadan and Selamat Hari Raya in advance!” said Dato’ Dr Zahari.
This year is shaping up to be a great one for Malaysia’s second largest local automaker. Perodua has recorded decent sales figures this quarter by registering nearly 50,300 vehicles so far which is an increase of 6.5% compared with last year’s 47,200 units. The company now commands a 35.9% market share with a total of 140,000 vehicle being sold so far this year.
In March alone, Perodua sold 19,500 vehicles compared with 17,300 vehicles it sold last March, which is a 13% increase. The company attributes its sales success this year to the launch of the face-lifted Axia and a number of aggressive sales promotions for various Perodua models.
“On our after sales business, with both service intakes and parts and accessories sales seen growth in the first quarter. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we expect sustained growth in our after sales business,” Perodua President & CEO Datuk (Dr) Aminar Rashid Salleh said.
The Malaysian automaker’s parts and accessories division has also posted a rise in revenue. It said that revenue rose to a notable 5% in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the same period last year by raking in RM65 million. It’s body and paint business on the other hand, saw a much higher increase in revenue at 17% compared to the same period last year. This has led to the automaker’s CEO acknowledging that the decision to delve into the body repair and paint business 7 years ago, was a savvy business decision on the part of Perodua.
In the first three months of this year, Perodua has produced 49,218 vehicles which is slightly higher than that recorded last year with 48,300 vehicle rolling of the production line. The slight increase was said to be due to the high-demand for the automaker’s B-segment sedan, the Perodua Bezza and the face-lifted Axia.
Things weren’t all rosy for Perodua though, it recorded a decrease in exported vehicles for the first quarter of 2017 with 941 vehicles shipped to six countries compared to 1,600 vehicles in 2016. Despite this, Perodua’s CEO is still confident that the company will hit the 5,000 units export mark in 2017, which was the same target set last year.
“We aim to steadily grow our regional reach as we further improve our operations to become globally competitive. Overall, we are cautiously optimistic of achieving our sales target of 202,000 units for the year. We also foresee that despite the challenges in the automotive industry, there will be modest growth for the industry this year,” said Datuk (Dr) Aminar Rashid Salleh.
Despite the current economic situation, Perodua has defied the odds by posting better and better sales each year. It has launched a number of value added vehicles recently, which have enticed many Malaysian car buyers to flock to Perodua dealerships around the country.
