New car registration data from the road transport department (JPJ) for September 2026 is out, and the Proton Saga is the country’s best-selling car again. The sedan registered 8,671 units in the month, up 18.5% from August’s 7,319, to finish first for the third time this year after January and May.

The Perodua Bezza, which had led for the previous three months, drops to second with 7,779 units (down 7.5%), only 101 units ahead of the Perodua Axia in third on 7,678. The Perodua Myvi holds fourth with 4,143 units and the Perodua Alza moves up to fifth with 3,358.

The Bezza still leads the year-to-date (YTD) table on 73,476 units, but the Saga has cut the gap to 5,438 from 6,330 a month ago, with 68,038 registrations so far. The Axia is third on 59,823 and the Myvi fourth on 43,605.
