Out of the three, the Saga was the crowd favourite, having registered above 30,000 units.The Persona however, registered a 27 per cent increase with 19,510 units sold compared to 15,390 units last year.The Ertiga on the other hand also gained healthy acceptance in the market with 6,091 units sold in 2017.“Part of the reasons that sales of our cars stabilised in 2017 is due to the aggressive quality improvement exercise done internally. Our counterpart from Geely Auto performed a stringent quality audit of our cars and within 3 months, we were able to improve our quality points threefold,” said Abdul Rashid Musa, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Proton.On another note, Proton is now rewarding its customers with “prosperity discounts” of up to RM3,500 for the Saga, RM4,500 for the Persona, RM5,000 for the Iriz, RM5,500 for the Exora, and up to RM13,888 for a Perdana as part of its Chinese New Year Promotion. ✕ Let's Connect on Whatsapp We protect your personal information in compliance with the PDPA I agree with Carlist.my Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
