The Proton X70 was first launched in December 2018, as a fully imported (CBU) model from China.

The actual cost of owning a car is a lot higher than just your monthly instalments, and we’re not talking about insurance or maintenance, itself already a big chunk of a car’s total ownership cost.

It’s like losing money on stocks; it’s paper loss until you actually sell it, which you have to at some point. Remember th
