Proton has introduced the ProCare Smart Plan (PSP) prepaid service package, purchasable for new and existing vehicles. Basically you pay up front for servicing, capping your running costs, and Proton says you’ll be saving up to 15%, or as much as RM670, over normal service packages.
Transferable to the next owner, PSP is only available for the Saga, X90 and 2025 X70 for now, but Proton has plans to extend it to all models in the near future.

New car buyers can opt for either a three- or five-year package, respectively covering up to 60,000 and 100,000 km of mileage. Existing owners can purchase it too, although they’re limited to two-year intervals, covering Years 2-3 (30,000-60,000 km), Years 3-4 (50,000-80,000 km) and Years 4-5 (70,000-100,000 km).
It’s financeable too, with an up-to-24-month fixed payment plan available through the Affin Avance Proton credit card or an up-to-12-month instalment plan through Direct Lending – a shariah-compliant digital lending platform partner. Unofficially, this can be used as a tool to bump up the purchase price to get full loans, similar to Perodua’s GearUp accessories.

“Proton remains focused on making improvements to the product and services offering to our customers and the ProCare Smart Plan is the latest example of these efforts, combining industry leading levels of after sales service at Proton outlets with peace of mind for the customer, knowing that scheduled maintenance costs for their vehicles are capp..

Proton has revealed on its social media that the eMas 7 – the company’s first electric vehicle – will be officially launched on December 16. That’s less than a week away before the EV SUV finally makes its debut after a prolonged teaser phase.
By the way, the eMas 7 is present at the ongoing Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS) 2024 wearing a fresh ‘Nadi’ wrap, so you can head to MITEC in KL if you want a close up look – the show’s last day is tomorrow, December 11.
Order books for the eMas 7 has been open since its interior reveal at ACE 2024 in October. We’ve since got to drive the SUV at Proton’s semi high-speed test track in Shah Alam, and have shared with you our first impressions of the Geely Galaxy E5 twin, which compares favourably against the BYD Atto 3, Malaysia’s best-selling EV – review here.

There are two variants of the eMas 7 – base Prime and top Premium. The Prime uses a 49.52 kWh version of Geely’s Aegis short blade lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery for a WLTP-rated range of 345 km (thumbs up to Proton for advertising the more realistic cycle instead of NEDC, which is 410 km, or the optimistic CLTC). The Premium’s 60.22 kWh pack delivers 410 km range (470 km NEDC).
Both support AC charging at a max rate of 11 kW, with the Prime needing 4.9 hours to get from 30-80% state of charge (SoC), and 6.1 hours for the Premium. The range-topper can suck in DC power of up to 100 kW (Prime 80 kW), and both can get fr..

Proton has announced that it sold 12,194 units (domestic and export) in November, a decrease of 4.7% (or 605 units) compared to the 12,799 units shifted in October. According to the national automaker, the drop is however in-line with the contraction in total industry volume (TIV) of 4.1% for Malaysian automotive sales.
Total sales for the year after 11 months stands at 137,751 units, allowing the carmaker to retain its position as the second most popular brand in the national sales rankings. The company estimates it market share for the month to be at 18.2%, with its YTD share standing at 18.8%.
As usual, the Saga continued to fly the flag, with the 5,916 units shifted in November making it the top performer for the brand. Year-to-date numbers for the model stands at 66,094 units, positioning it to breach the 70,000 total sales mark for a second year in a row.
In second place was the X50, with the 1,911 units sold last month making it the most popular SUV for the brand. In all, 21,033 units of the B-segment model have been delivered this year. As for the X70, sales of the facelifted SUV last month increased by 7.7% month-on-month to 1,065 units, bringing its YTD total to 7,536 units.
The X70 is actually the automaker’s fifth best-selling model for the month, because the Persona, with 1,394 units (YTD, 17,325 units), and the S70, with 1,312 units (YTD, 17,512 units), are placed in third and fourth in terms of volume for November.
Contributing to the numbers was the Iri..
