Malaysian new car sales increase by 28.7%, and production increases by 7.0% in January
Malaysian Automotive Association (MAA) announced that new car sales of 64,298 units in January increased by 28.7% over the same month in 2025. PV (passenger vehicles) sales increased 29.8% to 60,369 units. CV (commercial vehicles) sales increased 14.3% to 3,929 units. Although January sales saw a significant year-on-year increase, this was affected by the Lunar New Year holiday and sales fell 29% from the previous month's record high.
The number of Malaysian car production for January increased 7.0% over the previous year to 60,866 units.
The MAA expects that sales and production in Malaysia’s automotive sector to be subdued in February due to the short working month because of the Chinese New Year holidays.
