Proton is off to a great start to the second half of the year. In July 2024, the national carmaker sold a cool 15,103 units; its best sales record since September 2022. The main contributor to the figure is none other than the Proton Saga with over 7,855 units sold.
In fact, the Saga actually recorded its best sales figure since October 2013. Also achieving high sales number is the new 2024 Proton X50, where 2,585 units were sold in July. This puts the B-segment SUV at the top of its segment.
The X50 is not the only Proton model to lead a particular segment; as many as 1,636 units of the Proton S70 were moved last month, making it the best-selling C-segment sedan of July 2024. The national carmaker also mentioned that 302 units of the Proton X70 were sold last month “as stocks get depleted in preparation for the launch of the 2025 Proton X70.”
“July has been the best sales month for PROTON in 2024 so far, setting the tone for what we hope is a productive second half of 2024. There are many plans to be executed in the coming months, starting with the 2025 Proton X70 which will be launched in August,” said the CEO of Proton Edar, Roslan Abdullah.
“At the same time, the groundwork for the launch of PROTON’s first EV model is also proceeding rapidly, which will lead to the launch of the first Malaysian EV,” he added.
