proton mission and vision
Since Proton and Geely signed their partnership agreement in 2017, Malaysia has become one of the testing grounds for the Geely Auto group. Previously we’ve seen Lynk & Co models running around on Malaysian roads. Our friends over at Funtasticko broke the story that a Geely Vision S1 was spotted in the compound of an undisclosed Proton facility. You can spot an X70/Boyue in light camouflage in the back background. It’s almost certain that it’s the Vision S1 as told by the C-pillars, the side win
Sony’s electric car, the Sony VISION-S has arrived in Japan for further development. Unveiled at Las Vegas and later returned to the engineering facility in Graz, the VISION-S is moving on to road testing in Tokyo. Like most electric cars, the VISION-S has floor mounted batteries and reports some fast numbers. 0-100 km/h is achieved in 4.8 s and maximum velocity is 240 km/h. Total power output is 400 kW or 542 PS. No further information has been revealed on the battery system of the car. Power i
Jika anda membesar pada era 90-an, Sony bukan sahaja membuat PlayStation, malah Sony juga membuat pelbagai jenis peralatan seperti radio, televisyen, kamera, komputer, telefon, cakera kompak, dan lain-lain. Tidak cukup dengan itu, syarikat gergasi Jepun itu telah mempamerkan kereta pertama mereka pada awal tahun ini iaitu Sony Vision S. Vision S kelihatan seperti sebuah Tesla. Ia dikatakan memecut sepertinya dan berkebolehan untuk memandu dengan sendiri. Walaupun ia masih sebuah konsep, Vision S
If you grew up in the 1990’s Sony wasn’t just “that company that makes PlayStations”. Sony was that rich kid who brought every imaginable gadget to school. They built radios, televisions, cameras, computers, phones, its own compact disc format, and even owned Michael Jackson. If that wasn’t enough, the Japanese giant revealed its first car earlier this year, the Sony Vision S. Billed as a concept, the Vision S looked like a Tesla, is said to be able to accelerate like one, and drive itself too.
The Geely Vision S1 crossover was spotted in Protons private compound earlier. We have detailed why the Vision S1 crossover will not be launched to the Malaysian market, instead, it is more likely that Proton is having the car to conduct feasibility studies. Feasibility study for what exactly remains a question mark, but the recent launch of the Geely Binyue Pro seems to have shed some light to the situation. What is the 1.4L turbo? The Binyue pro in China now gains a new 1.4-litre turbocharged
Future of Mercedes-Benz’s flagship electric-powered sedan Not necessarily the next generation S-Class All-wheel drive, 0-100 km/h in 4.5 seconds, 475 PS, 760 Nm The latest in Mercedes-Benz’s series of Vision concept cars, the EQS points towards the future of Mercedes-Benz’s flagship sedans. As with all Mercedes-Benz models with EQ designation, the EQS is a battery electric vehicle (BEV). Despite the EQS name, the concept car may or may not preview the next S-Class. Remember that the EQC has no r
Kini Malaysia telah lepas dari kekangan pergerakan PKP yang ketat tempoh lalu, dan unit homologasi di Proton pantas mengambil peluang untuk kembali ke lebuhraya. Gambar intipan terbaru Proton X50 yang akan dilancarkan tak lama lagi telah dikesan dipandu uji di lebuhraya dan kali ini SUV tersebut ditonjolkan dengan gril Infinite Weave. Ini bukanlah pertama kali Proton X50 diintai di atas jalan raya. Bila SUV tersebut membuat penampakan di Malaysia, ia masih ada gril expanding cosmos Geely. Spekul
Now that the country has entered Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO), the homologation unit at Proton wasted no time at all to get back on the road. New spy shots of the upcoming Proton X50 was spotted testing on the roads and this time the SUV was spotted with the Infinite Weave grill. This is not the first time the Proton X50 was spied on the roads. When the SUV was previously spotted in Malaysia, it still had Geely’s expanding cosmos grill. We’re speculating that this is the X50 bound for
Two variants – Turbo and Turbo S Up to 761 PS (with overboost) and 1,050 Nm Top speed of 260 km/h, 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds Driving range up to 412 km Requires only a 2-speed automatic transmission Coming to Malaysia in 2020 Nearly five years in the making, Porsche has finally launched the Taycan, the company’s first battery electric vehicle (BEV) sports sedan. Apart from minor details, the production Porsche Taycan managed to retain much of the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show's Mission E concept car
Contrary to what my friends, mother, and Google search results might tell you, I am an overly optimistic fellow. I tend to focus on the positives in people and situations and give them the benefit of the doubt first. So, with that, allow me to have a crack at explaining just what the reasoning behind Proton’s ownership of MV Agusta was. Anyone with a cursory knowledge of Proton would have heard about MV Agusta. In 2004, Proton paid 70 million Euros (RM367 million) for a 57.7 percent controlling
Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) and PichaEats teamed up over the weekend to deliver a total of 280 meals to the less fortunate, in efforts to drive kindness this festive season. The “Driving Kindness” convoy consisted of employees from Volkswagen and Picha, driving a Tiguan Allspace Highline and a Passat Elegance; and four classic Volkswagen cars – two Beetle cars and two Kombi vans driven by their owners who had volunteered for the project. Recipients of the Driving Kindness campaign
The Geely Binyue Pro has just gone on sale in China and besides the minor cosmetic changes, the Chinese carmaker also threw in a major surprise – a new 1.4-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder petrol engine with 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. There are now 2 petrol engine options of the Binyue Pro – the 1.5-litre turbocharged 3-cylinder and a new 1.4-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder. The 3-cylinder unit is something we’re quite familiar with, it’s a unit co-developed with Volvo and it packs 177 PS and
The third-generation Proton Saga was introduced back in 2016 and it received its mid-life update in August 2019. Perhaps the biggest improvement done to the Saga was the discontinuation of the Punch-sourced CVT-type automatic transmission, which has been replaced by a Hyundai-sourced four-speed torque converter automatic unit. Previously a B-segment model, Proton has since redesignated the Saga as an A-segment sedan to compete against the Perodua Bezza – the Saga’s primary rival. The Proton Saga
Xiaomi, one of the world’s largest smartphone makers, plans to make electric vehicles using Great Wall Motor’s factory. Xiaomi and Great Wall Motors have yet to announce the partnership, but Reuters has reported on the plan last Friday. Xiaomi’s stock price has gone up more than 9% since then. Xiaomi’s EV will be targeted at the mass market, in line with the positioning of its electronic products. Alongside smartphones, Xiaomi makes dozens of internet-connected devices including scooters, air pu
With the SUV craze in full swing, it’s actually rather refreshing to see spyshots of new sedans and this Geely is one such example. Back in December 2020, we reported that Geely has started development work on an all-new sedan codenamed Geely SS11. The new sedan is said to get C-segment-like wheelbase but with B-segment prices. Also Read: Geely SS11 uncovered, next-gen Proton Persona to use BMA platform? Fast forward to today and spyshots of the said sedan have surfaced. Typical of recent Geely
Dengan trend SUV yang kian hangat, agak syok sebenarnya untuk melihat imej intipan sedan baru seperti Geely ini. Pada Disember 2020, kami melaporkan bahawa Geely telah memulakan kerja pengembangan pada sedan serba baru yang diberi nama Geely SS11. Sedan bini dikatakan mempunyai jarak roda seperti sedan segmen C tetapi dengan harga segmen B. Juga baca: Sekilas pandang Geely SS11, sedan dengan platform yang sama dengan Proton X50! Beberapa bulan kemudian, imej intipan sedan ini akhirnya tertiris.
Proton Saga generasi ini (P2-13A) telah berada di pasaran sejak tahun 2016. Untuk kekal berdaya saing dengan Perodua Bezza, Proton telah mengemaskininya pada tahun 2019. Antaranya seperti infotainment sesentuh yang baru dan transmisi automatik 4 kelajuan daripada Hyundai bagi menggantikan transmisi CVT yang terdahulu. Malah harganya juga diturunkan sehingga lebih murah daripada Perodua Bezza. Memandangkan Proton Saga sekarang adalah model yang diubahsuai daripada generasi kedua yang dilancarkan
Looks like the Proton Iriz and Proton Persona are set for yet another update as over the night, various spy shots of both cars testing on the roads started circulating social media. This is quite a surprise as both cars only just received an update in 2019. Based on the photos posted, it looks like the camouflaged cars were spotted around Maran, Pahang. We can’t see much from the photos but the Iriz looks set to come with major updates to the rear-end. Meanwhile, changes on the Persona looks lim
The current generation Proton Saga, sometimes referred to as the P2-13A Saga, has been on the market since 2016. To keep it ahead of its biggest competitor the Perodua Bezza, Proton gave the A-segment Proton Saga sedan a mid-lifecycle facelift in 2019, adding a new touch screen infotainment, and a new Hyundai-sourced 4-speed automatic replacing the previous car’s lousy CVT, and more importantly, drop its price to be lower than the Bezza. Since the current Saga is basically a heavily modified ver
Proton ended 2019 on a high with 100,821 cars sold, a 55.7 % growth compared to the previous year. The company was on overdrive with 5 new model launches (X70, Iriz, Persona, Exora, Saga) over a span of 8 months. Proton CEO, Dr Li Chunrong announced Proton’s plans for 2020 at a media Chinese New Year luncheon today. We won’t bore you with the numbers so here are the juicy bits. Proton will be launching the Proton X70 CKD and Proton X50 this year. 2020 Proton X70 CKD Estimated Launch Date: Q1 202
Mercedes-Benz has just unveiled its new addition to its EV lineup, the Mercedes-Benz EQS. Built on an all-electric architecture, the EQS boasts an electric range of up to 770 km (WLTP). Mercedes-Benz claims that the Mercedes-Benz EQS is the most aerodynamic production car in the world with a drag coefficient value of 0.20. It is also claimed to be the best in terms of quiet running.

Remember Proton's electric vehicle (EV) project? Today, we found out that Proton was putting up models such as the Proton Saga EV, Proton Iriz EV, and even the Proton EMAS concept car up for auction. This following last week's auction of historic concepts and prototypes. UPDATE: The Proton EMAS concept car has been withdrawn from the auction. Thumbs up to Proton! It's impossible for a manufacturer to keep every protoype/concept car, but the EMAS deserves a spot in the museum. Today's auction was
Berjaya Auto Alliance Sdn Bhd (BAASB), Peugeot’s new distributor in Malaysia, has sent out a request to all Peugeot owners in the country to update their personal information on their official Peugeot website. The exercise is the first step to streamline its system to improve the Peugeot ownership experience in the future. As promised, BAASB’s first mission will be to improve the after-sales service for the brand. Through this exercise, information such as service reminders, warranty periods, se
Proton is an abbreviation or Perusahaan Otomobil Nasional. It’s a national car. That was the intention and it is something we should be proud of. Germany has Volkswagen, Japan has Toyota, and Korea has Hyundai. Other famous brands have been left out in favour of those that cater to the masses with “people’s cars”. Proton is 35 years old (We’ll take the Saga launch as its birthday). Toyota and Volkswagen are 83 years old while Hyundai is 53 years old. Proton is young in comparison to these compan
Between Proton and Perodua, it’s easy to see which one produces the rakyat's car. Both local carmakers also have a sort of friendly rivalry. While Proton did a decent rival against the Perodua Myvi with the Iriz, its sales were pretty lacklustre compared to the mighty King. At least the Iriz actually sell decently, which is more being said for its predecessors, the Proton Tiara and the Proton Savvy. Exactly what went wrong with the two Proton hatchbacks that both models are dubbed as the worst p
Yesterday saw the reveal of BMW’s latest electric car – the 2021 BMW iX. Following the trajectory of the BMW i4 concept, G80 M3, and G82 M4, the iX sports an unmissable kidney grille upfront. Whether beautiful or not, it certainly gives a visual impact. Referred to as an SAV, The BMW iX is comparable with the BMW X5 in length and width, and is almost the same height as the BMW X6. The wheelbase of the iX is 3,000 mm Let’s look at the stats: BMW iX electric Battery capacity >100kWh Battery range
After announcing in October 2017 that it would be transferring all its retail operation branches to its dealers and other relevant parties, UMW Toyota Motor (UMWT) has announced that 3 of its own outlets in Klang Valley, Sabah, and Sarawak will be transferred starting 1-September 2020. The Kota Kinabalu and Kuching outlets will be taken over by Borneo Mobility (Sabah) Sdn Bhd and Borneo Mobility (Sarawak) respectively. In the Klang Valley, PCM Subang Motor Sdn Bhd will take over the Subang Jaya
Of all the pre-Geely Proton models, the ones that stand above the rest among Proton fans are the Satria and the Satria Neo. The two hatchbacks are some of the most sporty-looking Proton models ever sold and are beloved by fans. Launched in 1994, the Proton Satria was Proton’s first proper hatchback and was targeted at younger buyers. Judging by the number of Mitsubishi Mirage converts on the road, it’s a cult success. As Proton ventured into their own designs, so too did the Satria with the laun
Berikutan perasmian Proton X50 baru-baru ini, Proton mengadakan sidang sesi pandu uji ringkas untuk SUV segmen B yang cukup dinantikan selama ini. Dalam siding media tersebut, ketua jurutera Proton memperjelaskan beberapa talaan dan sentuhan yang diterima oleh Proton X50. Beliau berkata bahawa usaha ini bertepatan dengan reputasi Proton dalam memberikan keseimbangan dari segi pengendalian dan keselesaan pada barisan kenderaan mereka. Antara perkara yang telah diubahsuai daripada saudara Geely Bi
This video of a Perodua Myvi vaulting over a kerb in TTDI then continuing on like it was just a daily occurrence has been going viral further fuelling jokes that the Myvi can do anything. The video also prompted jokes that the Myvi can be part of the next Mission Impossible franchise movies or that the Myvi has missed its calling as a pick-up truck. We strongly recommend not doing this to your cars at home though! You can incur lasting damage on your car if you do. For the clearer video click he
