"The 3S centre is important to provide excellent sales and after sales services to our customers," said Proton international sales chief Mohd Khalid Yusof at the opening of the 3S centre, which coincided with the launch of the Preve in Chile on May 28.

Andes Motor is a subsidiary of the Kaufmann Group, a major distributor of buses, trucks and luxury cars in Chile with a vast network in the country.

At Plaza Oeste, one of Santiago's popular malls, some 1,000 people gathered to witness a lucky draw that granted one winner out of 2,000 entries the chance to drive home a Prevé.

The Preve variants on sale in Chile are the Prevé 1.6 Standard MT, Prevé 1.6 Executive MT and Prevé 1.6 Premium CVT.

Proton presented an Exora MPV to the Malaysian embassy to help promote Malaysia. On hand to receive the MPV was Datuk Dr Mohamad Rameez.
