Proton Commerce, a joint venture between Proton’s sales arm Proton Edar, and CIMB Bank announced today that it disbursed a total of 27,288 loans to Proton car buyers in Malaysia in 2023. The figure is a new high for Proton Commerce, rising in tandem with Proton’s recent record of 154,611 units sold – its highest since 2012. This also means that 18 percent of Proton cars sold last year were financed by Proton Commerce. The Proton Saga is the financing arm’s most important model, contributing 61 p

ACO Tech, the maker of the GKUI software that powers the infotainment of selected Proton models, has opened its Proton Digital Experience (DX) centre in Quill City Mall. The 5,275 square feet centre was developed in collaboration with Proton and China Construction Bank (CCB). It also has a delivery bay for Proton customers to collect their new cars. The main highlight of Proton DX is the Virtual Cockpit, where visitors can enjoy a virtual drive in an enclosed theatre-like dome to experience smar

At this point of time, it’s no secret that Proton is working on its next model – the Geely Haoyue-based Proton X90. Said model was first spotted on Malaysian soil back in May, just weeks before MCO 3.0 was enforced. This time around, a reader sent in photos of a heavily taped-up development mule at the Genting Sempah car park to our friends over at Careta – the very same car park the Proton Preve was spotted many moons ago. Curiously, this particular development mule wears a very different camou

The Geely Okavango, known in China as the Geely Haoyue, has made its official launch in Saudi Arabia. The 7-seater SUV in the Middle East is powered by a 1.5 turbocharged 3-cylinder petrol engine, similar to the Okavango in the Philippines. In case you have not made the link, the 1.5-litre turbocharged engine is the same unit that powers the Proton X50. However, the Okavango’s engine is aided by a 48V mild-hybrid battery which boosts power output to 190 PS and 300 Nm. Like the X50, the Okavango’

Set to be Proton’s largest model when it goes on sale in Malaysia in 2022, the upcoming Geely Haoyue-based ‘Proton X90’ could be yet another homerun. Too bad for those hoping for the Geely Jiaji-based MPV, as the SUV-esque Geely Haoyue makes better sense in this region. After all, Geely Philippines sells the Haoyue there as the Geely Okavango, allowing for a more cohesive ASEAN-wide product strategy.

Geely is on a roll with introducing SUVs recently. Over the past couple of months, the company introduced a slew of SUVs, ranging from the Xingyue, Binyue Pro, Icon, and Haoyue. And the Zhejiang-based company isn’t slowing down one bit. Seen here is the upcoming Geely KX11, a model that is said to be positioned above the already-XXXL-sized Geely Haoyue. We recently rendered the Haoyue as a Proton X90, which sources say is a more viable model for Proton than the Geely Jiaji/Proton V70. If the lar
