Hybrid sales remain largely unchanged

Malaysia recorded 5,621 hybrid-petrol registrations in July 2026, compared with 5,646 units in June.

The relatively flat performance contrasts with the stronger growth seen in the electric vehicle segment during the same period.

With the eMas 7 leading the segment and Toyota maintaining a strong presence near the top of the rankings, July's figures show that petrol-hybrid vehicles continue to occupy an important position in Malaysia's transition towards electrified mobility, even as EV sales continue to expand.
