PROTON showcased at the Penang Autoshow 2026 with a bold showcase that brings together its core models under a striking black styling theme—presented in one venue for the very first time.
Built on the belief that one brand can support every stage of car ownership, PROTON continues to deliver vehicles that are practical, reliable, and accessible, catering to Malaysians from first-time car ownership to growing family needs.
At the centre of the display are PROTON’s key models, brought together with a bold and unified black styling theme across the Proton X50, X90, S70 and X70—offering a striking, more dynamic expression of the brand’s line-up. Each model is tailored to different lifestyles:
>The All-New Proton X50, the “King of SUVs” and overall SUV market champion, delivers turbocharged performance and smart connectivity for urban drivers.
>The Proton X90, the “True 7-Seater Comfort SUV” and No.1 D-segment SUV, offers spacious practicality for growing families.
>The Proton S70, “Malaysia’s Sporty Sedan” and No.1 C-segment sedan, combines dynamic performance with everyday refinement.
>The Proton X70 Sport Edition, “Malaysia’s Most Refined SUV,” adds a sportier edge with exclusive blacked-out styling and red accents.
Alongside these models, PROTON also highlights one of its most popular and widely trusted models, the All-New Proton Saga, “Malaysia’s Iconic Sedan.” As a proven entry point into car ownership, the Saga offers strong reliability, excellent drivability, low running costs, and practical features — making it a dependable choice for first-time buyers and everyday mobility.
Beyond design and performance, PROTON is also showcasing its advanced Electrical and Electronic Architecture (EEA) platform in the Northern region for the first time—enabling faster system updates, enhanced safety, and improved connectivity. Complementing this is the Intelligent Head Unit (IHU), developed by ACOTECH, which features seamless smartphone integration and Bahasa Malaysia voice recognition for a more intuitive and connected driving experience.
