It has to be higher, that has to be taken care of. These things are being attended to now but it takes time,” said Tun Dr. Mahathir.“We have approved it, now the problem is to build it. We don’t have the 4WD, we don’t have the engine and [meeting] the emission standards. So now we are negotiating with people in Europe and in China on how to build the car,” said Tun Dr. Mahathir.Back in 2006, Lotus presented an SUV concept (main image above), the Lotus APX, at the Geneva Motor Show, but the SUV that Tun is referring to here is likely to be a different, more contemporary interpretation of the original APX’s design.Proton also recently unveiled a pick-up truck concept earlier this year. More on that here.Tun Dr. Mahathir also added Proton will not be adding anymore new nameplates, agreeing the company’s previous practise of introducing a new name at every new model change was not the best way forward. ✕ 使用 WhatsApp 联系 我们依据 PDPA 保护您的个人信息。 我同意 Carlist.my 的使用条款和隐私政策 我同意接收来自 Carlist.my 及其汽车销售商、业务附属机构和合作伙伴的个性化通信。 查看最佳汽车优惠!
