Proton sold 22,632 units in August 2026 - 22.7% up from July, best ever monthly domestic sales volume, YTD 141k

Proton has announced its sales numbers for August 2026, with the automaker reporting that the month returned the highest monthly domestic sales volume in the company’s history. In all, total group sales (including exports and the smart brand) hit 22,632 units last month, which the automaker rather confusingly says marks the best overall monthly performance since January 2010. It could be likely that Proton’s group sales in January 2010 was propped up by exports of the rebadged Youngman Gen2 models to China, but that remains conjecture – we have asked Proton to clarify the rather confusing claims. In any case, the figures for August represent a 22.72% – or 4,190 units – increase from the 18,442 units the automaker delivered in July . Year-to-date (YTD) sales for the first eight months of 2026 are now 141,421 units, which is 40.2% higher than the corresponding period in 2025 .
