SHAH ALAM: Proton has reported a 2.3% rise in deliveries to 4,091 units in May (from 3,999 cars sold in April), with the Saga and Persona making up 70% of total sales for the month.
This translates into an estimated 8.8% market share for Proton in May.
The increase in sales performance was largely due to the Government’s announcement on the zero-rated GST, coupled with Proton’s attractive Kosong-kosong promotion with 0% financing for the first year and free 3 months installment for customers.
“Proton continuously strive to provide the best deals for its customers as we realised that having good products alone is not enough if there are no additional attraction to pull customers into our showroom. Hence, we had concurrently put in place all the right measures and efforts for total quality improvement of our products, attractive offers for ease of car ownership and in the pipeline, the dealers upgrade of 3S and 4S centres which will prepare us to face the challenging market more positively,” said Proton Edar CEO Abdul Rashid Musa.
Now, Proton is offering the greatest Saga Raya deal from below RM30,000 – billed as the best price in 10 years.
There are also savings of up to more than 6% for Persona, Iriz and Ertiga – more than double the GST amount deduction.
There will be savings of up to RM4,000 for Iriz and Ertiga, and up to RM3,000 for Persona. The savings offered are on top of the zerorised GST.
“Proton Persona and Iriz exude a fun to drive car with excellent safety features like ESC, traction control, 6 airbags and strong HPF body structure. The Iriz has an Asean NCAP 5-Star rating. But if you’re looking for a fuel efficient MPV for Hari Raya, Proton Ertiga is also quite a popular choice among our customers for its easy-on-the-pocket low fuel consumption, allowing you the extra mileage and longer journey. It is roomy, extra versatile with its multiple seating layout and extra comfort for passengers in the third row where there’s rear aircond vents, spacious third row seats and ample headroom. The Ertiga is an ideal car for a family and exceptionally comfortable for the long journey back to your hometown this Raya,” Rashid added.
