- Vehicle Sales Up Nearly 33% In May 2023 - MAA
The 2023 Perodua Axia E 1.0 MT is priced from RM 22k.
According to the Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA), new vehicle sales, or total industry volume (TIV), increased 32.7 percent to 61,795 units in May from 46,583 units in April 2023.
The TIV was also higher than the previous high of 50,663 units in May 2022.
The Audi Q8 sportback e-tron.
MAA says the higher TIV is due to a number of factors, including the fulfilment of backlogged orders and bookings received for new model launches. "The strong sales by the two national makers contributed much towards this higher TIV of May 2023," it said in a statement.
As a result, according to MAA, the TIV as of this point in the year was 300,978 units, up 12.3% from the same period in 2022. 
Refreshed V177 (sedan) and W177 (hatch) Mercedes-Benz A-Class range.
Similarly, the total production volume (TPV) for the year to date was 304,484 units, which was 18% more than it was for the same period in 2022. MAA also stated that the demand for new cars will remain strong in June as long as the domestic economic environment is largely supportive.
This is a result of the significant backlog of orders, though registration volume may be slightly reduced.
