Ford recently announced its best-ever September performance in Malaysia, with retail sales rising a staggering 52% to 1,183 units. The exceptional month capped a record quarter for Ford in Malaysia with sales increasing 55% to 3,697 units, driven by Ranger’s best-ever quarter and strong demand across Ford’s full lineup of vehicles.
“We’re proud of the increasing appeal of the Ford brand in Malaysia and all the new to Ford customers that we’re able to serve. Our vehicle line-up represents the best of Ford – including a strong focus on safety, performance, fuel efficiency, smart technologies and head-turning style” said David Westerman, managing director, Malaysia and Asia Pacific Emerging Markets, Ford Motor Company.
The Ranger pickup truck remains Ford’s best-selling nameplate in Malaysia with September retail sales surging 48% year-over-year to 745 units. An all-time record quarter for Ranger in Malaysia saw sales rise 73% from the same quarter last year to 2,335 units.
Meanwhile, the sporty new Fiesta contributed to the record September with retail sales of 209 units, helping boost its year-to-date sales more than 35% to 2,590 units. Fiesta’s strong appeal is being driven by both the 1.5L Ti-VCT and high-performance 1.0L EcoBoost engine variants. The 1.0L EcoBoost engine delivers a class-leading combination of performance, fuel efficiency and emissions levels.
Deliveries of the all-new EcoSport compact urban SUV also kicked-off in September, with the first 82 customers receiving their vehicles. The stylish Kuga SUV and technology-packed Focus contributed third quarter sales of 221 and 200 units respectively.
Ford’s overall year-to-date retail sales have now increased 34% to 10,217 units, putting the company on pace for a record sales year in Malaysia.
