He said the national carmaker was working on a plan to maximise the features of the present models without compromising on the quality, and to be sold at affordable prices.
"We are trying to make the car more advance in terms of safety and sophistication.

Lukman said the company had previously come out with the new Saga SV and Persona SV and it would continue with the exercise and "it's just a matter of delivering them at the right time to the market".
He also said that Proton aimed to give the best after-sales services to its customers.
Recently, Proton had eliminated the 5,000-kilometre (km) service as it said a new car can actually last until 10,000km.
"Having customers with the right maintenance mentality is more important, and we want to continue educating them and not overcharge them for something that is unnecessary," he added.
He also said that Proton would come up with a campaign, covering states like Melaka, Pahang, Penang, Sabah and Sarawak, to promote its affordable cars, besides giving good financing packages on parts and so on.
The promotion will also include Lotus.
Meanwhile, commenting on the speculation that it had received a RM200 million grant from the government for its research and development (R&D) programme, Lukman denied it.
"Proton is the only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that has a R&D centre in the country and we have been receiving some grant from the government for many years but it never reached that amount," he said.
He said the company spent more than that amount using its internal funds for the research facility, products and even to train the staff. - Bernama
