A heck of a record considering it has only taken the company 12 years or so since the 1st generation Myvi rolled off the production line (the Myvi is now in its second generation). Of course, in reaching such a milestone, the car has been sold in 7 countries since 2006. This includes Sri Lanka, Mauritius, Brunei, Singapore, the United Kingdom, Fiji and Nepal under the Perodua brand as well as to 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 to these markets. It may seem to be small, but this is pretty good considering many automotive analysts consider the cost to build a car here in Malaysia is higher than other regional players.
Now aside from the slightly amazing news, Perodua also announced that for the first four months of the year, Perodua sold 64,700 vehicles. This is an increase of 4.1% compared with 62,100 vehicles between January and April in 2016. As such, they foresee our market share at 35.4% so far this year.
Perodua has basically performed in terms of providing customers what they want and the numbers are proving it. One million Perodua Myvi in Malaysia. That is a heck of a lot of Myvis out there.

Kuala Lumpur, 22 May: The Perodua Myvi, a Malaysian Icon for over 12 years, is
