KUALA LUMPUR (April 4): National car maker Proton Holdings Bhd’s sales in March rose 41.2% month-on-month to 13,028 units for a market share of 19%.

In a statement Monday (April 4), the company said for the quarter, cumulative sales from January to March closed at 26,706 units with a cumulative market share of 17.5%, good enough to be ranked second in the overall table despite a reduction in sales of 18.6% and a 5.7% contraction in market share compared to the first quarter of 2021 (1Q21).

Proton said while total sales for March were down by 13% compared to the same month in 2021, the company still posted some noteworthy results.

It said sales of the Proton Saga, a model that was severely affected in January, hit 6,422 units in March, its best effort since November 2013.

It said this not only made the Saga the sales leader for A-segment sedans but also the best-selling A-segment model overall.
Helping to power the Saga’s numbers was a growth in export sales.
