All current Proton models to offer up to RM4,000 incentives under govt’s ‘matching grant’ programme

Following the transport ministry‘s recent launch of the matching grant programme to scrap vehicles aged 20 and up, Proton has announced that it will give Saga and eMas 5 buyers a trade-in incentive of up to RM1,000 (plus another RM1,000 from the government), and RM2,000 (plus another RM2,000 from the government) for all other current models including the X50, X70 and eMas 7.

“Proton is proud to be able to offer our customers even more value by being a partner in the Malaysian government’s Matching Grant Programme for the Replacement of Old Vehicles. This initiative will encourage the responsible replacement of old, unroadworthy vehicles and improve road safety while supporting the transition towards cleaner and more efficient mobility.

“The incentive offered by Proton is an extension of the Proton Xchange Programme launched in May 2025. Offering up to RM2,000 in over-trade for customers who scrapped their old vehicles for a new Proton model, 4,344 transactions were made resulting in approximately RM8.68 million being given out towards the purchase of a new car by the end of 2025,” said Proton CEO Dr Li Chunrong. Perodua has yet to announce details for its side.

      Didn’t u read in this article that there was a Proton Xchange Programme last year? It was similar to the government’s latest incentive programme, and thus Proton is already prepared, unlike Perodua which did not have such a programme similar to Proton’s.

      Because they need to recoup the millions wasted on developing their EV. Every single cents count.

        Why do you ask such a silly question when the article clearly states that the Proton CEO is Dr. Li? If you don’t understand what your read, please go back to school!!!!
