There Are Now 1 Million Perodua Myvis In Malaysia

Perodua has reached another historic milestone as the millionth Myvi rolled off the production line at its plant in Rawang over the weekend, making it the brand’s most produced model.

First introduced in May 2005, the Myvi was Malaysia’s number one selling car model until the end of 2014 before relinquishing the title to the Axia, and remains among the bestselling models in the country.

To commemorate this occasion, Perodua had a special “line-off” ceremony at its manufacturing facility in Sungai Choh, Rawang which was officiated by Perodua Auto Corporation Sdn Bhd (PCSB) President, Mr Masanori Takahashi and PCSB Vice President, Dato’ Zainal Abidin Ahmad.

“The Perodua Myvi has set a new standard for us in terms of products offerings as well as customer expectations and it is our benchmark for all our future models,” Perodua President and Chief Executive Officer, Datuk (Dr) Aminar Rashid Salleh said.

“Also, based on our internal calculations – all our models, the Myvi, Alza, Axia and Bezza retain their spot as the most preferred vehicles in their respective segments. We wish to thank all Malaysians for their support,” Aminar added

For the first five months of the year, Perodua sold 81,900 vehicles which is an increase of 5.9% from 77,300 units sold in the same period in 2016.

“We estimate that the total industry volume for the first 5 months of the year to be 233,700 units. Based on this number, our market share for the year so far is at 35%,” Aminar said.

“We are cautiously optimistic of achieving our 202,000 sales target for this year despite the continued tough and challenging market condition,” he added.

In terms of exports, the Myvi was sold in 6 countries since 2006, which include Mauritius, Brunei, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Fiji and Nepal under the Perodua brand;

However, the Myvi’s biggest export market is Indonesia under the Daihatsu Sirion brand with nearly 31,000 vehicles sold since the year 2007. In total, Perodua exported 35,400 Myvi/Sirion models since 2006 in these markets.
