Three Proton Models Dominate YTD Sales
Despite its growing presence in the EV segment, Proton remains committed to its internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, with three models leading their respective segments in Year-To-Date (YTD) sales:
- Proton S70 – The best-selling C-segment sedan in Malaysia, recording 2,340 units sold in 2025. Its mix of performance, spaciousness, connectivity, and value has helped it dominate the segment for two consecutive months.
- Proton X50 – Proton’s B-segment SUV powerhouse continues its dominance, with 1,824 units sold in February and 3,259 units YTD. Having sold nearly 130,000 units since its 2020 launch, the X50 remains a favorite among Malaysian buyers.
