SHAH ALAM: Bookings for Proton Saga SV, launched by Proton Holdings Bhd in June, has surpassed 12,000 units, Proton Edar Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Hisham Othman said last night.
"I'm very happy. This is a very encouraging figure. The product that Proton produced has fulfilled Malaysians' taste," he told reporters at a breaking-of-fast event with Proton employees.
Former Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who is also Proton advisor, attended the event.
Hisham said Proton Edar expected the demand for Proton Saga SV to continue to rise as the car provided value for money, with safety features like airbags for front seat passenger even though the price was RM5,000 cheaper than previous Proton Saga models.
On the total number of Proton Saga SV that have been registered, Hisham said the initial target was only 2,000 units a month, but this month alone 5,500 units have been registered.
Asked on the Preve hatchback model to be introduced in the market, Hisham said the model will be launched this year. He declined to elaborate. – Bernama
