Analysts Foresee Lower New Car Sales In Malaysia This Year KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 24 (NNN-BERNAMA) – Analysts have foreseen lower new car sales in Malaysia this year, after total industry volume (TIV) hits historical high last year. Kenanga Research said in a recent note that, following a record performance, it expects Malaysia’s TIV for the first quarter to weaken, as automakers and consumers take a breather, while preparing for the coming festive period. “We project a TIV of 725,000 units this year, as a reflection of the trend in 2015, when TIV reached a peak, then fell 13 percent post-goods and services tax (GST) holiday,” said the research house.

Factbox-What plans have major automakers announced at the Munich auto show? (Reuters) - Prominent global automakers showcased their latest models at the Munich car show, including new EVs and lower-cost vehicles, as Europe’s auto sector faces crises ranging from tariff hikes to rising costs and rivalry with Chinese firms on their home turf. Here are the announcements by some of the companies: BMW said its iX3, the first model in its all-electric Neue Klasse series which was launched earlier in September, will be sold in Europe from March 2026 at a price of 68,900 euros ($80,700). It is monitoring its highly competitive China market in terms of pricing ahead of launching the iX3 there next year. STELLANTIS Franco-Italian carmaker Stellantis will no longer exclusively produce EVs as part of its target through 2030, Jean-Philippe Imparato, head of enlarged Europe and European brands, said. Imparato said EU carbon emissions targets for 2035 were no longer achievable for any carmaker, supporting Stellantis’ decision not to restrict production just to EVs. LEAPMOTOR Chinese EV maker Leapmotor unveiled the B05, a new hatchback described by CEO Zhu Jiangming as a sporty coupe, as competition heats up for affordable electric models. The B05 will be delivered in Europe from the second quarter of 2026 after its launch in China later this year, and will come in six colours. Pricing was not disclosed.

Tariffs have cost Volkswagen ’several billions’ so far, CEO says By Christoph Steitz and Louisa Off MUNICH (Reuters) - U.S. tariffs have cost Volkswagen, Europe’s largest carmaker, billions of euros so far, its chief executive said on Monday, adding that its key brand Porsche was being squeezed in a "sandwich" of duties and a weak Chinese market. Speaking to Reuters during the IAA Munich car show, Oliver Blume said "it’s several billion euros on our balance sheet that this situation costs this year". The comments lay bare the full impact tariffs are having across the sprawling Volkswagen group, which includes the Audi, Porsche, Cupra and Skoda brands, among others. So far, Volkswagen has only disclosed a 600-million-euro ($704 million) hit to Audi in the first half of 2025 as well as a 300 million blow to Porsche in April and May. Both brands have no local U.S. production. Like its rivals, Volkswagen is still waiting for current U.S. auto import tariffs to fall to 15% from 27.5%, something the administration under President Donald Trump has pledged but so far not delivered. Blume said it was important how the tariff situation would play out in the future, also pointing to "very positive discussions" the carmaker is holding with the U.S. government around tax breaks for planned investments. That includes a possible local production plant for Audi, a decision that is expected to be made by the end of the year. Blume, who also serves as CEO of Porsche, said the luxury sportscar maker was in a "sandwich position more than any other automotive manufacturer" as its two biggest markets - China and the United States - were either faltering or hit by tariffs. 3rd party Ad. Not an offer or recommendation by Investing.com. See disclosure here or remove ads. Blume confirmed that the dual CEO role - which has drawn criticism from shareholders and unions - was not permanent, and added it was still open which of the two posts he would give up.

EU waits for more Trump orders on sector tariffs like cars BRUSSELS (Reuters) -U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent executive order only sets out his so-called "reciprocal" tariff for the EU at 15% and does not apply to cars and other agreed carve-outs, EU officials said on Friday, adding they expect further more detailed orders to follow. EU exports of car and car parts to the U.S. currently face a 27.5% tariff, of which 25% is due to Section 232. But in Scotland on Sunday, the EU and Trump announced a framework deal on trade in which duties on cars and car parts would be reduced to 15%. The zero-for-zero tariffs are also not included in Trump’s Thursday order, the officials said, which will take effect on August 7.
