2022 Proton X70 1.5 TGDi Standard 2WD Monthly Payment, Installment, Loan Cost

Twelve months after flood related supply issues suppressed sales at the beginning of 2022, national carmaker Proton enjoyed its best start to a year since 2013. With 11,681 units (domestic and export) sold in January 2023, sales have grown by 162.3% year-on-year, resulting in the company comfortably retaining second place in the sales table. Proton's market share for the month is estimated to be 22.9%, an improvement of more than 12% year-on year and over 3% better than its market share figure o

Long waiting period of more than 3 months for popular new car models has become the norm since the Covid-19 pandemic started in 2020. Shortage in labour and supply of semiconductor parts post-pandemic, along with unstable logistics, make it difficult to predict when will this problem go away. We’ve already compiled the waiting period for Perodua models here. Now it’s Proton’s turn. The short answer is between 1 to 5 months, which is a lot shorter than Perodua’s 6.5 to 9.5 months for a Perodua Be

When Geely took over 49.9 percent of Proton, it stated a bold promise of turning around the ailing Malaysian national car maker into the third biggest car brand in Southeast Asia’s ASEAN trade bloc – which comprises of 10 member countries. Five years into the 10-year plan, Proton finished 2022 with 141,432 cars sold, giving it a 19.6 percent market share in Malaysia. That’s still very far off from the 2027 goal, which calls for 400,000 units. In contrast, Perodua finished 2022 with 282,019 units

When Geely purchased a 49.9 percent stake in Proton from DRB-Hicom in 2017, the Chinese carmaker was upbeat about its goal to become the third largest automotive brand in the Southeast Asian ASEAN trade bloc by 2027. 5 years later, we are now at the midpoint of Geely’s 10-year goal for Proton. To the credit of the new team at Proton, the Malayan Tiger marque is now on a much stronger footing than it ever has since 2013. Proton ended 2022 with 141,432 cars delivered, up 23.3 percent from 2021, bu

Proton has just posted its best sales performance since 2013 with 141,432 units sold in 2022. This makes it the fourth consecutive year that Malaysia’s first carmaker saw sales growth. However, despite the pair of Proton SUVs getting all the attention, the best-selling Proton car is a lot humbler and basic. 55,878 units of the Saga were sold in 2022 and the total figure includes both domestic and export numbers. This was an increase of 31.1% over the previous year and yet, it only achieved secon

It’s a landmark occasion for Proton as the carmaker celebrates producing the 10,000th unit of its famed GEP3 (Global Engine Petrol 3) 1.5 TGDI engine at its Tanjung Malim plant on 1 December 2022. Further adding to the milestone is the fact that this figure was achieved in just 7 months, having started in April 2022. The figure is courtesy of the company’s commitment to invest RM 1.8 billion to upgrade its facilities in Tanjung Malim and the culmination of a journey that began in 2019 that was t
