The Prevé sold in Australia is equipped with specifications that meet Australian automotive safety standards.

Proton executive chairman Datuk Sri Mohd Khamil Jamil said the company's drive to improve its image is now further reinforced by this latest achievement.

“As we have reiterated time and time again, our models are not just affordable but more importantly we want our customers to know that they are quality products. An achievement of this level is yet another testament of the improving quality of Proton cars.

A technological first for Proton in engineering, all Prevé units produced for the Malaysian and export markets use Hot Press Forming technology that provides better protection and higher body as well as structural rigidity without compromising the overall bodyweight.

The Ancap rating came in the wake of the Saga FLX receiving 3 stars under the Asean New Car Assessment Programme.

Besides Australia, the Prevé is also sold in Thailand and Brunei.
