New car registration data from the road transport department (JPJ) for October 2026 is out, and the Perodua Axia is Malaysia’s best-selling car. The hatchback registered 8,035 units in the month, up 4.6% from September’s 7,678, to top the monthly chart for the first time since January 2025.
Since then, the top spot has gone to either the Perodua Bezza or the Proton Saga. The Bezza led every month from February to December 2025 and six more months this year (February to April, and June to August), 17 of the 20 months in all, while the Saga came out on top in January, May and September 2026. The Axia was runner-up nine times in that run and came closest in August this year, when it finished just 332 units behind the Bezza.
