Proton ended 2022 with a fourth consecutive year of sales growth with 141,432 units sold domestically and overseas.

Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is now a rather common feature. What used to be exclusive only to luxury cars, is now available even on regular, common man’s cars like the Perodua Ativa, Proton X50, and Honda City. To recap, ACC is simply a more advanced version of a regular cruise control feature. While the latter is only capable of controlling the accelerator to maintain a preset speed on the highway, ACC also controls the brake. In some examples like the ones used by the Proton X50, Toyota Coro

The current-generation Honda HR-V has been around since 2014 and the model received its mid-life update in 2018. Now in its sixth-year, it appears that Honda is already working on the next-generation HR-V (sold as the Vezel in Japan), which is said to go on sale by December 2020.
