Proton car prices to go up by up to RM2,000

comments     Bernama     Published     Updated

Proton Holdings Bhd will be undertaking an exercise which will involve a price increase for all Proton cars effective Feb 15.

This exercise would see an increase of RM312 to a maximum of RM2,021 depending on model variants, Proton said in a statement today.

The increase is in line with the impact of the fallen ringgit as many raw materials are purchased in foreign currency.

The weaker ringgit had affected the company’s operation cost and the entire eco-system chain, said Proton.

To cushion the impact which has been affecting Proton's bottomline since August 2015, the company has put more efforts in reducing operational costs and rationalising operations where necessary.

The full list of revised prices will be disclosed further on Proton's website when the new price takes effect.
