Proton has reported a strong sales performance for September, selling 11,269 units (including domestic and export), bringing the company’s year-to-date (YTD) total to 112,758 units. This solidifies Proton’s second position in the national automotive sales rankings with a forecasted market share of 20.1% for the month and a YTD figure of 19.1% for 2024.
September is historically a slower month for car sales, and this year was no exception, with the total industry volume (TIV) estimated at 56,067 units, marking a 22.2% decrease from the previous month. Despite the dip, the YTD total remains ahead of 2023, with the industry having sold nearly 590,000 units so far, reflecting a 3% increase from last year.
Proton, however, continues to lead in key SUV segments. The 2025 Proton X70, which was launched in August, recorded 1,466 units sold in September, making it the best-selling C-segment SUV for the month. This is the highest sales figure for the model since December 2022, nearly doubling its August numbers, indicating strong interest in the refreshed design and enhanced technology of the SUV.
