THE Proton Saga FLX has been awarded three stars in the
Asean NCAP (New Car Assessment Programme) after frontal collision tests
were conducted by Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (Miros)
at its PC3 Crash Lab at the Road Transport Department Academy in
Malacca.
Proton Holdings Bhd executive chairman Datuk Seri Mohd
Khamil Jamil said it is time for the public to change the perception
about the brand as it offers good quality and affordable cars.
“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.
“Proton’s new
direction to further enhance our products on all levels, clearly
demonstrates our commitment to providing our customers with a high level
of safety protection.
“To be able to offer such standards in
even our entrylevel models is a proof of our commitment to provide to
Malaysians value-for-money cars. We are indeed very pleased that the
Proton Saga safety standard has been recognised as per other
international makes in Malaysia.”
More significantly, Mohd Khamil
said the award isn’t just about Proton but its role to further enhance
the safety standards of the national automotive industry.
“As the
national car company, we continuously improve 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 strong encouragement to manufacturers to build better and safer
cars.”
Since its introduction, the new generation Saga has
received numerous accolades, including winning awards such as Autocar
Asean’s “Best Small/Mid-Sized Sedan” in 2012.
