When Proton entered its partnership with Geely back in 2017, the Geely Jiaji MPV was one of the models that was speculated to wear a Proton badge, alongside the Proton X70 / Geely Boyue. Further cementing that notion was that Proton trademarked the V70 name, which some people speculated could be the name for the MPV. As a brief recap, the Geely Jiaji is a C-segment SUV that offers 6- or 7-seater options, as well as a range of turbocharged and mild-hybrid (MHEV) powertrains. In China, the Geely J

The Proton Exora is the oldest new car model that is still on sale in Malaysia. It was first launched in 2009 but despite being nearly 15 years old, Proton has no successor planned for its sole MPV model. When Geely took a 49.9 percent stake in Proton in 2017, the Geely Jiaji (VF11) was listed as among the three models that Proton has secured intellectual property rights to. The other two were the Geely Boyue (Proton X70) and Geely Binyue (SX11, which we know as the Proton X50). Proton is now in

Geely recently delivered 30 units of the Geely Jiaji to the Gouyang County Public Security Bureau in Anhui in a small handover ceremony. The Geely Jiaji police vehicles will assist the Guoyang County police to maintain public order and upkeep peace. This isn’t the first time the Geely Jiaji has undergone such duties, as Geely deployed 169 units of the Jiaji during the initial outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in China earlier this year, assisting front-liners with their duties. To recap, the Gee

If you're looking for a 7-seater family MPV, you could do much better than the aging Proton Exora. Really, in the 11 years that it's been on sale, things never really changed much - it's always had passé looks, dated features and a thirsty, tired powertrain. Possibly the only good thing about the Exora is how about much space you get for the price - 7-seats starting at RM 59,800? Where else can you find that? But that's about it, and Proton desperately needs a new MPV to be competitive in this s

Both the Proton X70 and Proton X50 have steered the domestic car maker to a fresh and new direction. Proton has actually registered a few interesting model names back in 2018, and one of them is the Proton V70 name. If the “X” letter has been used to name crossover models, the “V” letter might just be used to name MPV or van-like models. Proton has told its investment partners that a new Geely-based model is due for 2021. The model of the car is yet to be confirmed. However, if we look at Geely’

Proton’s management have told its investment bank partners that the company will be launching a new Geely-based model in 2021, according the latest investor’s newsletter by RHB Research. The research house didn’t mention any specifics on which Geely model that Proton’s management was referring to. However back in 2018, Geely Automobile Holdings, the parent company of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, which owns half of Proton, signed an agreement to license three Geely models to Proton for CNY 1,344
