KUALA LUMPUR: Ford Malaysia Sdn Bhd sold 844 vehicles in September 2015, driven by its Ranger and Fiesta models.

However, the figure was 28.7% lower compared with 1,183 units sold in the same month a year ago, which was its best-ever September performance in Malaysia.

In a statement yesterday, Ford Malaysia said the September result helped drive its third-quarter sales up 34% to 2,691 units from the previous quarter. The 3Q15 sales, however, were 27.2% lower than the 3,697 units achieved in 3Q14 — its all-time record quarter in Malaysia.

“The Ranger pickup continued as Ford’s best-selling nameplate in Malaysia, with September retail sales of 643 units. Overall third-quarter Ranger sales jumped 51% to 1,993 units from the previous quarter,” it added.

It expects the new Ranger — which was launched on Oct 9 — to give overall sales an extra boost through the end of the year.
