Locally Assembled Proton X70 Heads To Brunei

The 2020 Proton X70, currently Malaysia’s best-selling SUV, was launched in Brunei on Sunday, 6th September 2020. Brunei had been the first export market for the Proton X70 and now it is also the first export market for the upgraded Malaysian-made model from Tanjung Malim. Similar to its predecessor, the 2020 Proton X70 is available in Brunei in three different variants – Standard, Executive and Premium X. It will also be offered with a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty.

X70 Continues to Leading in Malaysia

The 2020 Proton X70 has been a popular choice among SUV buyers in Malaysia since its launch in February this year. By August 2020, a total of 12,732 units have been delivered to customers. This accounts for about 25.9% of the total SUV market in the country.

Meanwhile in Brunei, the previous Proton X70 is ranked in the top three in its segment despite having barely had a full year of sales. While the country was not spared by the ravages of COVID-19, the Total-Industry-Volume (TIV) figure of 7,609 units up to the end of July shows that total sales are trending towards at least being on par with last year.

“PROTON is excited the Malaysian made 2020 Proton X70 has been launched in its first export market as exports will play an increasingly important role in growing our sales. With its combination of innovative features and comprehensive list of safety equipment we believe the X70 will gain support from car buyers not only in Brunei, where it has already attracted a strong following, but also wherever it is sold around the world,” said Roslan Abdullah, Chief Executive Officer of Proton Edar.
