Proton sold a total of 39,150 units in the first quarter of 2024<\/a>, including domestic and export shipments. Based on Malaysia’s estimated total industry volume (TIV) of 202,492 units for the first three months of the year, Proton’s market share is estimated at 19.3%, which is a 5.1% growth and good for second place overall behind Perodua. <\/p>\n

In this period, Proton shifted 5,828 units of the new S70<\/a>, including 2,072 units in March. “While production volume is still catching up to demand as close attention is being paid to product quality<\/a>, the C-segment sedan class leader is now the second best selling model in the Proton range,” the company said in a statement. <\/p>\n

“Production is not slow, but what we\u2019re maintaining is ensuring the quality, because this is a new model for us, and we have to ensure parts quality maturity, as well as our process \u2013 assembly maturity. The stock is being produced, but we\u2019re checking thoroughly to ensure that we don\u2019t face the similar problems as when we were so eager to deliver the car to the market,” Proton deputy CEO Roslan Abdullah said earlier this year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We had a good lesson learned in the past and we won\u2019t make the same mistake, but we\u2019re increasing deliveries starting this month,” he added, without naming the previous model.<\/p>\n

Proton’s claim of the S70 being the best-selling C-segment sedan in Malaysia isn’t a surprise, as the plan was to offer a ‘C-segment sedan’ (’70’ name instead of ’50’ to align it with the X70) at the price of B-segment incumbents Honda City and Toyota Vios. <\/p>\n

The segment of the S70 has been a subject of debate. It\u2019s based on the Geely Emgrand, which sits on the X50\u2019s BMA platform, and the car has a 1.5 litre NA engine\/CVT combo elsewhere \u2013 1.5L CVT is of course the ASEAN B-segment default set by the Vios and City. The pricing of the S70 is also squarely within the City-Vios space, and the two class stalwarts were chosen as rivals in the media preview.<\/p>\n
