PERODUA CONFIDENT OF CONQUERING 33% SHARE OF MALAYSIAN LOCAL CAR MARKET WITH THE INTRODUCTION OF THE PERODUA ALZA
KUALA LUMPUR, –Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) says it expects to capture 33.3 per cent share of the local car market next year, citing better sales for its models, an improving market and better purchasing power of consumers as factors.
For the first 10 months this year, its market share was 31.1 per cent, said its group managing director, Datuk Syed Abdul Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar.
He said besides the Myvi and Viva models, the local car manufacturer was also banking on its Alza model to rake in more sales.
Syed Abdul Hafiz said Perodua had also revised its sales projection upwards five times this year despite the challenging economic conditions.
Based on the company’s forecast to sell 176,000 units of cars next year, Perodua is confident of achieving its market share projection next year, Syed Abdul Hafiz told reporters during the launch of Perodua’s new multipurpose vehicle (MPV), ALZA, here Monday.
Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin officiated the launch of the MPV.
The new MPV, for which booking was opened 10 days ago, has also received 3,500 bookings up to 2pm today.
For the first 10 months of this year, Perodua recorded a total sales of 138,000 units. This was a decline of three per cent from the 142,000 units sold during the same period last year.
For the whole of this year, the company expects to hit a sales of 164,000 units compared with 167,000 units last year.
On the total industry volume (TIV), he said the company was projecting a volume of 520,000 units compared with the Malaysian Automotive Association projection of 480,000 units.
He said the company’s projection was based on the overwhelming response for the government’s programme to scrap cars 10-years of age and above.
So far, the programme, which involves Proton and Perodua, has already seen 40,000 cars moved under the programme.
“This reflects the success of the programme under the second stimulus package. This has helped a lot,” he said.
He said the market for MPV was also expected to grow from 10 per cent of TIV currently to 30 per cent next year. This will certainly boost the market, he added.
Meanwhile, the ALZA, which comes in six colours, offers two standard variants, automatic and manual transmission.
Price range from RM56,000 to RM70,000 for the MPV depending on whether it is a standard, premium or advanced model. The advanced version will be available in the market March next year.

Dah tengok Alza tak? Aku tengok gambar mcm kecik jer…mcm Honda Jazz yg dipanjang sikit…lain dari MPV lain. Tengok seat pun agak sempit kalau banding dgn exora.
betul perodua punya kereta kecik..tapi dia adalah kereta mampu milik yang memberi pilihan kepada pengguna untuk kereta kekadang MPV…so untung apa beli kereta yang boleh dikategorikan sebagai 5+2…
sebenarnya perodua punya model bukan MPV…lebih kepada kereta 5+2….
so ..kalau sikit boleh guna..bila ramai orang pun boleh transform ..jadi MPV….aku rasa lah….
so …good p2
exora pun boleh jadi 5+2 kalau nak…lagi besar luggage space…siap ada pilihan lagi samaada nak baringkan terus dua2 seat 3rd row ataupun satu je..heheheh kira 5+2 ataupun 6+1 la kot…
sama je koncepnya …extra seat ada bila diperlukan…tak perlu lipat je la….
nak kira mampu milik, exora based line tambah 2k je…dapat extra lagi (air bag)….cuma alza sesuai untuk town driving la,,,fc rendah…sales confrm tinggi pasal ‘toyota’ maaa…
tapi rasanya kalo alza dipadankan dengan rim 17 ‘ dan bagi rendah mungkin lagi nampak gah dan sport kot
Rdy kalau 17 gua rasa Alza semput nyer tapi paling cantik 16 dipadankan ngan tayar 195/45-16 ha baru kaw.Anyway ini MPV paling sesuai 6 org naik,Tak terasa sempitnyer kalau 2-2-2.Anyway cute MPV dari cousin cousinnyer di Jepun.

Nak kena tengok jugak spare tyre dia size berapa.
CUN GAK KETE NI…TP KALU NAIK 6 ORG MEST SEMPUT KUT..LG2 BLE NAIK BUKIT
Biasa kereta perodua lebih kualiti dari proton, sebab kereta toyota. Lagipun ada resale value. Saya sudah 10 tahun pakai kereta proton. Sudah tiba masa upgrade MPV alza.
Kadang2 tengok pada penjualan sesebuah kete tu jugak.Kalau Alza punya sales tak begitu berangsangkan mcmana resale value tinggi?Kat Singapura Toyota Passo Sette punya resale value teruk sungguh,Vios lagi tinggi walaupun Thailand.Di Singapura Hanya Gen2 nyer resale value jer ok..
selamat berposa semua. pokcik nak tanya ada sesiapa yg dah pakai rim 17 pada alza, tlg beri respon
