THE Proton Saga FLX has been awarded three stars in the Asean NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme).
The
first frontal collision test results were announced at the Asean NCAP
Open Day, held by Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (Miros) at
its PC3 Crash Lab, at the Road Transport Department Academy in Malacca.
Since its introduction, the new generation Saga has received accolades, including the NST Car of the Year Best Value Compact Sedan Award and Autocar Asean’s Best Small/Mid-Sized Sedan in 2012.
According
to Proton Holdings Bhd executive chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Khamil Jamil,
it is time to change the perception about the brand, as its cars were
of good quality and affordable.
“Proton’s new direction to
further enhance its products on all levels, clearly demonstrates the
commitment in providing customers with a high level of safety
protection.
“This achievement is a testament of the improving
quality of Proton cars and that the Proton Saga is a safe car which had
passed the internationally recognised assessment programme — the Asean
NCAP.”
“To be able to offer such standards in even our
entry-level models is proof of our commitment to provide Malaysians
value-for-money cars.
“We are very pleased that Proton Saga’s safety standards have been recognised as per other international OEMs in Malaysia.”
Mohd
Khamil added that more significantly, the award wasn’t just about
Proton, but its role to further enhance the safety standards of the
national automotive industry.
“As a national car company, we are
continuously improving our range of products to cater to the needs of
today’s market, and it would not be possible without the support of the
Government and its supporting bodies like Miros.
“We applaud the
existence of the region’s first crash test facility, as well as the
support provided by the Government — for this is a strong encouragement
to manufacturers so as to build better and safer cars.”
