Proton to slash prices from 1.2% - 5.7% for all models

Following the government’s recent announcement of zero sales tax for cars sold in Malaysia for a six month period beginning 15 June 2020, Proton will reduce its car prices by 1.2% - 5.7%. These prices will be effective for the duration of the incentive period, a measure designed to boost the economy as the country emerges from its COVID-19 induced lockdown. 

The Proton X70 Premium X variant sees the most significant reduction of 5.7%, which is about RM 7,000 less than the price with SST at RM 115,800. The Proton Saga 1.3 Standard manual gets a 1.2% reduction in price, which is about RM 400, bringing the price down to RM 32,400.

“Proton would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone looking for a new vehicle that there has never been a better time to own a new Proton. With our industry leading number of 3S/4S outlets, refreshed model range, periodic improvements we have introduced as well as the new prices, our customers will receive even better value for their money,” said Dr Li Chunrong, Chief Executive Officer, Proton.

“We applaud the government’s initiative to spur growth in our economy via the Penjana plan and their recognition of Malaysia’s automotive industry as a critical piece of the national ecosystem. With 700,000 people working both directly and indirectly in the industry, it contributes approximately 4.3% to the national GDP and will thus play a leading role in any economic recovery effort,” he added.
