The road transport department (JPJ) has released its latest vehicle registration data for the month ending June 2026, and Perodua is once again on top. The national carmaker registered 27,517 units last month, rebounding 12.4% from the 24,480 units it managed in May as the overall market recovered, bringing its year-to-date (YTD) total to 158,295 units at the halfway mark.
Proton holds on to second place with 15,450 units, the only brand in the top 10 to ease on the month, down 4.3% for a YTD tally of 98,010 units. Toyota stays third with 9,705 units, nudging past May’s figure for yet another best single-month result this year (this figure also includes recon units), for a YTD total of 50,591 units.
Outside the top three is Honda in fourth, and it is one of June’s big movers, up 70.8% on the month to 6,297 units (27,549 YTD), its best result of the year by far on the back of a surge in City deliveries. Omoda Jaecoo holds fifth with 1,267 units (7,810 YTD) despite a slight dip.
Mazda climbs to sixth with 1,210 units (6,003 YTD), up 17.9%, swapping places with Mitsubishi, which slides from sixth to ninth with 948 units (6,767 YTD) as its Xforce-led run cools. Between them sit Jetour in seventh with 1,203 units (5,048 YTD), up 24.3% for another new high, and BYD in eighth with 1,076 units (5,675 YTD).
The standout of the month is Tesla. From 197 units and 21st place in May, the American EV brand surged to 935 units in June, up nearly fivefold, to storm into the top 10 in 10th (1,962 YTD), as its customary end-of-quarter delivery push landed both the Model Y and Model 3 near the top of the EV chart. That leaves Chery just outside the top 10 in 11th with 929 units (5,591 YTD), despite growing 28% on the month.
Great Wall Motor takes 12th with 738 units (3,166 YTD), up 29% for one of the stronger gains in the list. It is followed by Lexus in 13th with 601 units (3,075 YTD), iCaur in 14th with 502 units (2,573 YTD), Mercedes-Benz in 15th with 498 units (3,920 YTD), Zeekr in 16th with 459 units (2,086 YTD) and BMW in 17th with 442 units (2,991 YTD).
As for the remaining three brands in the top 20, Isuzu took 18th with 396 units (2,386 YTD) and Nissan 19th with 347 units (2,226 YTD). Leapmotor, which broke into the list for the first time in May, keeps its place in 20th with 290 units, up another 22.4% (956 YTD). MG, 20th a month ago, drops out this time with 192 units in 21st.
Overall, the market bounced back in June, with total new-vehicle registrations of 72,943 units, up 10.4% from May’s 66,053 units. You can explore the full month-by-month and YTD breakdowns, by brand, model, body type and fuel, on our car sales data tool.
