The Proton X70 experienced a 11.9% sales hike in March too, reaching 835 units, and a 52% year-over-year growth in its Q1 total to 2,158 units. The Proton Saga achieved its highest monthly sales for the year with 6,154 units. The Persona and Iriz also recorded their peak monthly sales, with 1,482 and 337 units sold, respectively.

“Proton’s month-on-month sales grew by 23.9% in March, outpacing TIV growth of 12%. We attribute the results to aggressive promotions and excellent service from our dealership network,” said Proton Edar CEO Roslan Abdullah. 

On the export front, Proton also recorded outstanding progress. The company's export volume increased by 211%, with 417 units exported in Q1. This significant increase in export sales has boosted total Q1 export data to 11.4% higher than the same period in 2024.

The Proton Saga was the primary driver of this growth, with 410 units exported, while new market openings like Nepal and Trinidad and Tobago contributed considerably to the company's growing global profile.

"Exports are a critical pillar for Proton's growth strategy. We are beginning to see positive results from our overseas investments, though there is still a long way to go; we are confident our offerings will appeal to both domestic and global buyers," he said. web_CariCarz_Review_MA_Proton-eMAS-7_-3-full.jpg
