The Proton X90 has sailed into Bangladesh, and with it comes a new local partner there for Proton, as well as plans on furthering the automaker's business in the country, reports The Financial Express Bangladesh. Proton Holdings now partners Rancon Cars Limited, which serves as the exclusive distributor and assembler of the marque's models there. Prior to this, it was PHP Automobiles, which also assembled the Proton Saga, X70, and Persona at their Chittagong plant. On this new partnership with R

We’re not sure if the marketing people at Volvo thought this one through but maybe there was something in the Schnapps and meatballs when they ideated a video that heralded its plug-in hybrid ((PHEV) models… at the expense of its pure electric vehicles (EV) models. From what we can remember, cannibalising your own models isn’t exactly the way to push the brand forward.

The cat’s out of the bag – During the launch of the 2022 Proton Saga MC2 earlier today, Proton’s CEO Dr Li Chunrong said, "Over the next 2 years, we will launch at least 3 brand-new models".

Many modern safety features owe it to the S-Class Can be traced as far back as the 1950s New features that debut in the S-Class may find their way into other cars Think vehicle safety and a certain Swedish make comes to mind, but Mercedes-Benz has always been at the forefront of safety innovation. The Mercedes-Benz S-Class has spearheaded many of the safety features we know today, like electronic ABS and brake assist. Let’s rewind back to the 1950s and 1960s, even before the S-Class was called a

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.
