![Here's the latest waiting period for 2023 Proton models 01]()
Long waiting period of more than 3 months for popular new car models has become the norm since the Covid-19 pandemic started in 2020. Shortage in labour and supply of semiconductor parts post-pandemic, along with unstable logistics, make it difficult to predict when will this problem go away.
We’ve already compiled the waiting period for Perodua models here. Now it’s Proton’s turn.
The short answer is between 1 to 5 months, which is a lot shorter than Perodua’s 6.5 to 9.5 months for a Perodua Bezza.

The above is for 2023 Proton models. Some dealers may still have 2022 manufacturing year cars. Those can be delivered as soon as loan application is approved, insurance and number plate registration are done.
One dealer we spoke to is offering up to RM 18,000 discount (depending on variant) for a 2022 manufacturing year Proton X70, and up to RM 7,000 for a Proton X50, so do shop around.
