Was just perusing through a Perodua press release regarding its first quarter performance for 2017. Impressive as always. They have a market share of 35.9% or 50,300 cars registered from a total of 140,000 vehicles sold in Malaysia so far.
Perodua states that this is because of the Axia facelift as well as strong promotion for all of its other models. The Bezza is also doing very well. Being predominantly a nation where sedans are somehow more liked over hatchbacks, it was bound to be the success that it is.
Perodua have a solid line-up. One that registers in the minds of Malaysian buyers who want affordable, reliable transport. No need to have super sporty handling, but reliability and some sense of quality in the cars.
