Perodua president and chief executive officer Datuk Zainal Abidin Ahmad said demand for the Ativa remained strong with average bookings of nearly 290 daily.
“The waiting period for the Ativa is currently between two and four months, depending on the desired colour and variant,” he said in a statement Tuesday.
On a month-to-month comparison, Perodua’s sales dipped by 16.5 per cent to 20,399 units from 24,431 units in March, mainly due to the semiconductor shortage, which is affecting multiple industries globally.
However, the car maker managed to produce 20,278 vehicles in April 2021, pushing its year-to-date production to 80,661 units, Zainal Abidin said.
