RobertSep 30, 2024, 11:35 AM
The Malaysia Zero Emission Vehicle Association (MyZEVA) recently announced the list of best-selling electric vehicles in Malaysia. According to the association's data, as of July 2024, an estimated 12,400 electric vehicles have been sold in Malaysia.
Looking at the specific data, the electric vehicle brand BYD from China occupies the first two positions, with BYD SEAL and BYD ATTO3 accounting for 17% and 16% of the market share respectively. The former is a pure electric car with a sporty style, adopting the aesthetic design of the ocean; while the latter is an SUV intended for home use, the main advantage lies in space and comfort.
Closely followed by Tesla from the United States, with Tesla Model Y and Tesla Model 3 accounting for 15% and 13% of the market share respectively. As a leading brand in the new energy vehicle industry, Tesla has a powerful appeal.
The sixth to tenth places are occupied by GREAT WALL ORA, SMART BRABUS, MG 4, BMW i5, and BMW iX2, which account for 12% of the total market share.
The Association predicts that Malaysia's electric vehicle sales will reach 20,000 this year, and the 12,400 units sold as of July are already close to the total of 13,257 for the whole year of 2023. This shows that the electric vehicle market in Malaysia is still in a rapid growth stage, with new energy brands led by the United States and China in a dominant position.

Perodua Traz VS Ativa, which one is more worth buying?
Traz, as a newly launched mid-sized SUV, offers more spacious room and mainstream power compared to small SUVs, but its pricing appears slightly higher than that of Ativa. Ativa, on the other hand, is Perodua's long-time best-selling small SUV with more affordable pricing and a balanced combination of power and tech features.
Perodua Myvi and Bezza may undergo major upgrades in 2026
After the update, the Bezza will no longer be just a low-cost alternative but a core model in the Perodua system with greater market competitiveness and brand premium potential. The upgrade of the Myvi is not to be unconventional but to strengthen the brand and market, ensuring that the Myvi continues to maintain its irreplaceable position in the new round of product competition.
Perodua Traz VS Toyota Yaris Cross, where does the Traz fall short?
Before the official launch of the Perodua Traz, market expectations were actually very high because it shares the same DNGA platform as the Toyota Yaris Cross. However, sharing the same platform does not equate to the same experience, and the Traz's final performance has indeed been disappointing. Perhaps it is precisely because of the delayed launch that it has almost no competitiveness in the current competitive environment.
Will the Toyota Yaris Cross come to Malaysia? If it comes, how much will it sell for?
The launch of Perodua Traz indicates that the market size of small SUVs in Malaysia has been expanding in recent years. However, the question naturally shifts back to Toyota. As a brand with the most comprehensive product line and a strong foundation in both the SUV and hybrid sectors, will Toyota choose the Yaris Cross to participate in this small SUV competition?
Why is the Toyota Sienna so popular with so many people?
In Malaysia, most family MPVs choose Toyota Alphard, Vellfire, or Kia Carnival. These models each have their advantages in luxury, space, or brand influence, but models that truly balance large space, multifunctional practicality, fuel efficiency, and reliability are rarely seen.
