Top 20 EV models in March 2025 – Proton eMas 7 tops list, Denza D9 outsells Zeekr 009, Tesla drops down

The JPJ has released its vehicle registration data for the month of March 2025, and the Proton eMas 7 has retained its place at the top of the best-selling EV list. With 737 units sold in March, it became the first and only EV model to breach four figures so far this year, with a year to date total of 1,738.

In a distant second place is the BYD Sealion 7 with 303 units sold in the month (841 YTD), followed closely by the rest of the BYD range. The M6 MPV had a particularly strong month with 281 units sold (537 YTD), while the Atto 3 showed a minor resurgence with 258 units sold (404 YTD) following a relatively slow start to the year.

Newcomer Denza D9 – a BYD sub-brand – had an impressive showing, its 204 units sold in March propelling it past its main rival, the Zeekr 009 (151 units in the month) in the YTD standings too, just – 238 vs 235.

If you’re looking for Tesla, the Model 3 slumped down to eighth for the month with only 138 units registered, though it barely clings on to fourth place on the YTD list (518) off its strong February. The Model Y is way down in 17th in March (only 33 units) and 13th YTD (108) while waiting for the Juniper facelift model deliveries to start.

Other EV models all had a relatively stable month, though the presence of not one, but two Porsche models (Taycan and Macan) in the top 20 list is quite a sight. The MG Cyberster electric roadster also just about made it on the list in 20th place with 25 units registered in March.
