UPDATE: Frontal offset crash video released – click here to view
In a first for the brand, the Proton Prevé has achieved a five-star Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP) safety rating. The Prevé was crash tested in late December last year. It was launched in Australia last October, and at that point was unrated by ANCAP.
The Prevé 1.6 CVT evaluation mule scored well across all ANCAP crash tests, which led to the five star safety rating. The car is sold in Australia as standard with six airbags (dual frontal, side chest and side head-protecting curtain) as well as ESC and front wheel traction control.
The car obtained 34.25 points out of a possible 37 in the overall score, with 14.53 out of 16 points in a frontal offset score and 15.72 out of 16 points in a side impact score. It aced the pole test, and managed a ‘good’ rating in the whiplash protection test.
The only area in which its score was rated as ‘marginal’ was with regard to pedestrian protection, something ANCAP is encouraging Proton to work on improving, according to ANCAP chairman Lauchlan McIntosh.
Nonetheless, he said that the Prevé’s five-star rating is “a testament to the commitment of Proton senior management and its engineers to incorporate high levels of safety into its new vehicles.”
“Proton hasn’t let the previous poor results for its vehicles hold it back, rather it has used this as incentive to strive for the top safety rating for the Prevé. A lot of time and effort has been invested in improving the design and safety equipment of the Prevé, and it is reassuring to see Proton reach this mark.”
Australia was the first export market for the Prevé, and this has been followed by introductions in Thailand and Brunei.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
too bad you don’t get this variant in Malaysia.LOL
It would be interesting to see how the 4 airbags variant of Malaysia CFE perform in Asean NCAP.
With Honda City doing 5 stars, I can’t see any reason Preve CFE will not do the same.
The Honda City only have dual airbags but still getting 5 stars. So, Preve should scored better, and it is a medium sized car compare to Honda City which is smaller.
5 stars is the max a car can get rated, how could it be possible for Preve to score more than 5 star? Preve should receive 5 star. :)
Err, I think in future all Proton cars will have 5-star NCAP crash tests as DSZ is still there. He contributes with passion.
BTW do you read with your brain or just eyes?
Protons have very bad RV. Buy today, in one year, you can only sell for 50% of the original price. Only real fools buy Proton. Better to buy 2nd hand Toyota. Better RV.
maybe officials from ncap should revise the ratings only for Proton. just to differentiate with others. not fair if city score 5, then Preve also 5. they must score 6 to equal with city’s 5.
honda city with only dual airbags can already score max stars and preve needs 6 airbags to score max stars, no matter how much airbags you can stuff in a car doesnt make it any stronger, it has nothing to do with the structural integrity of the car, i cant say that the honda is safer because there is no evidence to prove such, but i still rather spend money on a car made by people who knows what they’re doing.
honda salesman detected..haha..
This is for export market version with 6 airbag!
for local market, aheeem …….. 3 star perhaps with max 4 airbag!
Well.. Haters Gonna Hate~
Hahaha.
This is how Jaguh Kampung No.2 treat export and local market: –
1) Australia life expensive but car cheap!
2) Bolehland life cheap but car expensive!
And this is how the haters hate. hahahahaha.
It doesn’t work like that, bro.
Check the specs for Australia vs Bolehland for this Jaguh Kampung No. 2 car!
Expat, you disappoint me.. i’m expecting the infamous “jaguh kampung no. 2” comment from you.. how could you.. you are the epitome of proton loyal basher.. you are wayyyy better than this!! c’mon dude wake up!!
You are a genius. Australians won’t buy a non 5 star EuroNCAP car. So Proton has to make sure it reaches that standard.
Malaysians buy lousy 2 airbag low safety standard cars (Vios) over 7 airbag safest in class cars (Fiesta). And are willing to spend more for the Vios.
As soon as good safety specs are important to Malaysian buyers, the manufacturers will offer them. As long as they don’t give a damn, manufacturers also won’t bother. You produce what sells well, and in case of Europe, Australia or America that’s safety. In case of Malaysia it’s lack thereof.
oh come on Expat… you always do better than this… we love how you bashing P1… is this only you can do right now… how lame…
Hidden due to lowcomment rating. Click here to see.
yea, i know ur mom did the same for having u~
5 stars in ASEAN NCAP, not the same as ANCAP, you stupid moron
lol as usual
You’re actually correct. Not sure why the thumbdowns. The tested model has at least 6 airbags.
Aussie spec:
http://www.protonpreve.com.au/pricing-specs/
SRS Dual Front Airbags
SRS Dual Side Airbags
SRS Dual Curtain Airbags
*For both the variants sold there.
Malaysia spec:
http://www.protonpreve.com/pricing.php
Dual SRS airbags with seatbelt pre-tensioner *All variants
Side airbags *Premium version only.
Curtain Airbags *None
Actually proton shd giv us d side and curtain airbags to all models la since d car price here damn expensive.
The car is expensive because of the high taxes. In Australia car taxes are much, much lower.
Weh, this is the same car made in Tg. Malim la weh. The same abu & ali who assemble the car. The body structure, safety measure are all the same, except in Aussie, they provide curtain airbag. They have different rules & regulation. Here at Malaysia, they can put curtain airbag, but the price will be higher and it is not compulsory to have curtain airbag in Malaysia requirement. Despite of that, Preve for Malaysian market provide 4 airbag, 1 driver airbag, 1 passenger airbag + 2 side airbag at the front seat.
Wweh, no curtain airbag, side impact crash result also different one.
It is not compulsory in Australia either. Proton is allowed to sell the Saga and the Arena there, and the Arena is a bloody deathtrap (same as Wira…). However customers decide with their hard earned cash which car they will buy, and in Australia a car that doesn’t have 6 airbags and a good NCAP rating means it won’t be bought. In Malaysia safety features means more stuff that can break. The less, the better. Or at the very least they don’t care, otherwise Vios and Camry sales wouldn’t be so strong, and Fiesta and D segment conti sales weren’t so bad.
The difference is only curtain airbag. Body structure and other safety feature (ABS, ESC, BA etc)is the same. So I don’t think we should worry too much.
But I would love if proton add the curtain airbag for domestic soon.
God Bless you Dato’ Sri Syed Zainal for being the mastermind behind Proton’s first 5-star crash test car. You will always be remembered as the one who renewed Proton’s line-up and we are proud of your contributions to Proton making safer cars for our families!
totally agree… :)
dear DRB members, please consider to put back DSC into Proton management
At long last
first meh.
I hope this won’t be the last,can’t wait 4 new model frm protoon
An achievement by Proton team. That’s the way forward. Keep on improving..
Good job Proton! Please sell the same variant to us locals….
with the same price… Don’t kill own citizen la…
no can do. malaysian people life worth less compared to mat saleh.
you guys get crappy quality, export market get better quality.
well unless you’re some big crony or crony relatives. then can drive big big car like bentley. otherwise your life is worthless and please make do with 2 or no airbag thank you.
don’t like can go to venezuela.
is it the same spec that is sold in Malaysia?
Everything (body, powertrain etc) is same except the curtain airbag. Ours have front+side airbag only whereas the aussie get front+side+curtain
Then again, seeing as how Malaysians still don;t wear seatbelts, especially at the back, this could be a good thing.
After all, if you are in a crash and the airbags deploy while you don’t have your seatbelts on, the airbags itself could kill you.
DSZ has made his positive mark with Preve & this is shown by the results of this ANCAP.
Nevertheless, we should be getting the same 6 airbag here in Malaysia.
Now it is time for DRB-HICOM to give Malaysian some good results.
I’ve doubt at DRB-HICOM… but pray for goodness… miss DSZ touches for Proton
Well,…that is really good. Dear Proton, Please include side airbag and curtain airbag to Malaysian market. This is the way forward a true global car. Dont Deprive malaysian all the safety features…..
why the total score is only 37? is this same for all NCAP test?
what kind of smelly cheese did you smoke just now?
total score must be 100? do you realize the score is in term of point?
convert to percentage, it scored 92.57% out of 100%
happy naow??
go proton go
yeah…stay away please, Dowan to see you anymore…
That’s good Proton. Keep it up and improve as time goes by.
Btw, where are the typical Proton haters / bashers?
I saw side air bag is standard in the analysis. Is it true? All preve comes with side air bag as well?
for Malaysian market, side airbags only comes in Premium CFE variant. for Australian market (in the analysis), all version comes with all 6 airbags (because side/chest airbags for new cars are compulsory over there).
Proton can sell those ‘6 airbag’ versions over here, but are Msians willing to pay for it?
yup. because the cost would be sky high and can’t make too much profit anymore.
add 2 more airbag and it’ll be priced RM100k more. RM200k for a preve nobody will buy.
4 airbag is already enough for the rakyat. there’s no other car with as much airbag selling under RM100k anyways.
oh wait there is.
Kia forte and ford Fiesta below 90k cars have 6 airbags why dont a malaysian made car cant have it in malaysia but in Australia? Proton betrays its countries people whose paying it with our tax money. Its should be we the one had the 6 airbags 1st.
To be fair, they don’t have the turbo engine.
kia forte got 6 airbags also still can only score 4-star for ANCAP.. go search in ANCAP website under kia cerato..
proves that without good body structure still can’t protect you even you got 10 airbags inside your car..
Seriously people never ask why Vios only come with two airbags, without ESC. So are the Suzuki Swift.
Fiesta is a B segment vehicle, Forte is more a better competitor to Preve CFE with its 2.0 variant, selling at 25k extra off CFE price.
Whether Malaysians willing to pay for 6 air bags version will depend very much on how much Proton is willing to go with us! ! ! The previous and current trend is we Malaysians are given lower specs. for higher price. Is this fair to us for supporting Proton? ? ? We hope DRB will consider treating us Malaysians on par with the rest of the world. How can you expect the locals to love you when you treat them like the current condition, so start giving and you will see the results sooner than expected. Unless DRB is only interested in making money and nothing else……
Future model will be standard for domestic and import. There is article here where drb want to change this. So our model and import will have same spec.
Blame the government. Proton is taxed as high as other car makers. It is already amazing that they can offer the car at this price.
For your information,Preve is more expensive here MALAYSIA compare to down under!go ask uncle Google! Are we paying for it?….YES!,with a 9 year loan and still without curtain airbag.
How come uncle Google never tell you about the different tax structures between here and Australia? Here you pay 75% excise duty + 10% sales tax. There you only pay 10% GST and 3-4% stamp duty.
Proton get a lot less for each Preve they sell here than in Australia.
not proton get a lot less, but the BN gov get a lot money from tax.
yup, we shud get the same spec!
Congratulation to Proton, last saturday i tumpang my friend Preve to tasik Kenyir from Kl and back. I found it more comfortable compared to my wife’s Altis, that too it is not high end Preve.
I hope Proton will continue to improve its performance .
Tahniah Proton kerana berjaya score 5 bintang dalam ANCAP crash rating. Tapi, kenapa tak jual variant yang ada 6 airbags tu kat Malaysia?… tak aci la macam ni. kami pun nak kereta yang mantap & selamat untuk keluarga kami. sila la jual variant yang 6 airbags tu kat Malaysia ye!… and again, tahniah!
malaysians’ lives are as valuable as australians, there is no room for double standards in terms of safety.
Nice job Proton.
This 5 Star doesn’t convert into high RV la wei..
rv is rv la wei. safety is safety la wei.
RV doesn’t matter when you can’t survive a crash. Or in this case prevents a crash, looks at Camry without VSC ^^.
I support you 100% Sam Loo. If RV is high, when we got accident we will get xtra money to pay to hospital. Right, Sam?
Let see… RV or life, RV or life, RV or life, OK Sam you win it’s RV for me. At least my soul will rest in peace knowing that I have a good RV car.
so u are also looking for wife with high resale value?
TQ.. u create a joke to make us laugh again.
Just got my Preve yesterday. It’s a great car and fun to drive. The only drawback is the sound of their engine and CVT gearbox, obviously is louder than my previous 7-years old Honda City Vtec. As a Malaysian, we should feel proud that our Malaysian brand was recognized in oversea. Keep it up! Proton.
Whoaa..the front was devastated but the cabin still intact..good crumple zone
Good work to DSZ and Proton.
The only thing not good is pedestrian safety. In Malaysia…don’t care lah. Langgar only… especially the damn mat rempits and Bangla that cilok here and there.
well done…boleh bawa laju2
Malaysian no need side or curtain airbag. Malaysian head and neck stronger and tougher then Aussies ones. Mo tuck teng ar!
That’s the power of competition. We should have more national car companies, not only proton and perodua. It will benefit the rakyat.
I could not agree somehow when Vios/Swift/City are being sold at much inferior specs to Malaysians, and Malaysians still worship them
malaysian like to worship brand.. nothing else.. oh ya.. and also RV..
This is all about safety but quality worst.
Preve sent for repair 4 times in a month. Can Proton produce something that is really good?
wor..kesian lor..preve CFE aku setakat ni dah 8bulan ok je.. melaka-K.terengganu Rm70.00..speeding, bmw pon segan nak potong..
cfe ka? any major prob? be honest ah. i’m still waiting for hatchback preve…prefer hatch than sedan. hehehe
mind sharing ur car problem? dont want to bash..but i’m also interested with preve.
we don’t have curtain airbags in malaysia version. so the crash might only score a miserable 3 stars.
itu vios baru berapa star?
Vios pun ade 4 star dgn 2 airbag.
Next time all OEMs no need to send their car for stringent Crash and Safety test. Just let you evaluate by your superhuman eyes and you alone can give the rating for them. =)
did you reaaaaallly watch the video mr.. the preve on the video had two air bag only.. aiyaa..
Well obviously Proton thinks that M’sian lives are not as valuable than the Aussies ! As a national car they should treat M’sian better than others more so if they make bulk of their profits from us !
Same as the entry level japanese cars in Malaysia.. double standards as well.. i dont have to say anything.. but you all know what sort of safety features they have. So to take the same line, japanese car makers think that m’sian lives are not as valuable as…etc.
but instead.. people continue to buy, and make no complaints..
Credit must be given when due. Good job Proton.
Now, at least let us have the curtains too. Then they will be the first C segment below 100k with curtain airbags.
Dude, Kia Forte 2.0 is with curtain airbags and it is below 100k. Get your fact right. Proton is charging us, their own countryman at the same price with oversea and given us less in return..??? WTH is this? Credit should be given if they charge us cheaper with more safety features and functions.
which one first?
1. ask proton to put 6 airbag,
OR
2. ask gov to make a rule of minimum 2 airbag first lahh… then those automative brand in malaysia will start to compete
plus an abs module. most malaysia didnt wear any seatbelt..so if put 2 airbags also no use.
If didn’t wear seatbelt, air bag will still deploy?
Yes, but the inflating airbag will likely kill you.
yes. the airbag sensor is triggered when there is an impact/collision no matter you put the seatbelt or not, A/C on or not, full passenger or driver alone, change bigger rim/tyres etc.
I thought min 2 airbag rule already implemented? Cancelled again a?
Well done P1, pls give Msian consumer option for the Curtain Airbag too so that it can be a 5 stars too in msia. Guess, the version in mSia will only qualify for 4 stars since it do not have curtain airbags
somehow i felt that mostly praising proton must be proton marketers and proton employees
and i believe the bashers was T, H, N, perodua, bla bla marketers and employees..
no, basher are like KETAM malaysia… if you know story about KETAM…
My Camry -even though no ESC/VSC – have better RV than ESC/VSC equipped Preve. Its all about RV people.
So, when to sell your Camry?
Proton must provide a safety to Malaysian rather than outsider. No matter the regulation is compulsory or not, they have to treat Malaysian citizen same as outside country. If Malaysian Govt. not impose a curtain airbag, Proton should make an initiative to be responsible as car manufacturer to provide safety car to their citizen.
I think Malaysian MUST wear seatbelt, give proper signal to turn left or right, no speeding like gilababeng, NO changing lane like sukahati… then baru cakap pasal safety kereta… other brand taknak pulak lebih2…praise all the time… put our face in front of mirror first then we think… thanks guys
truly agree with u la dude…it`s all about the attitude and habit when driving,even if the car got all airbags around it,it is useless if the driver it self drive like hantu lol
One must remember that crash test is at 60kmh only, we never drive that speed in highway..dont expect you may safe from accident even in german marque etc…depend on how it occurs !!!
To those driving 120kmh …you may expect that your car will be crashed until the middle of the car…dont be too excited !!
Well I wonder how will Vios @ Dugong will be if crash at 110km/h?
If you crash at 110kmh,no need test,sure die,our body cannot stand the GGGGGGGGGGGGGGSSSSSSSSS from 110 kmh and stop in a second!
i agree that they should increase the speed used to evaluate the safety of a car..
but the test still relevant cos most of the time, unless u have very slow reaction time(eg: intoxicated) fell asleep, normal people will start to react and apply emergency brake before an accident occurred and that might be able to reduce the speed from let say 90km/h to 60/70km/h in the split second
driving at 120, dont forget to pray lah..only ur god can help
Unfortunately, that’s technically impossible.
This argument has been explained by some of the readers couple of times. The 64kph is taken after considering the sudden braking during actual vehicle crash.
Do take note that, the regulations for full vehicle crash (ECER94 and ECER95) is wrote after detail studies made by qualified people.
PS: The study of Crash Analysis made by the Graduates of Lowyat and Paul Tan’s University might be far superior as usual.
Thank you.
hail to the graduates of Lowyat State University and University of Paul Tan!
I am sure the model tested is Prever 1.6 CVT+ (note the +).
After the Saga FLX+ fiasco, people do not take their test result seriously.
As usual.. you are so sure with everything.
he is a MR KNOW IT ALL… He even know how frequent my bro changed the engine oil..
no worries la moi.. even preve got 5 star ancap wont kacau your myvivalza sales lorr.. somemore your customer wont bother asking you how much your myvivalza got for ancap test one.. they only look at T brand behind you maa.. got confident already..
i am a proud owner…good to have it… keep good work proton!!
Credit given where credit is due….so good job proton
but safety should be standard in all car….proton shouldn’t wait for regulation to installed 6 airbags for malaysian market….they should take the initiative themselves….and sell here cheaper than overseas market…
Totally agree.
It’s the double standards practiced by Proton that irks Malaysians. Regardless if Proton cannot offer the 6 airbags with lower price, Malaysian should be given the options.

thanks buddy. this is what we call a truly knowledge sharing.
could you please share with us the link for this info?
all info is available at ANCAP’s official website.. do take note that some models use different names from the models we have in M’sia.. e.g. Kia Forte is called Cerato in Aussie market.. doing some search in wiki is helpful if you want to know the alternative name that the particular model uses in different markets..
Actually in Malaysia, if the brake works 100% of the time, I would give it 5 stars already :)
DSZ last product lead, may god bless him and hopefully the spirit to move on is still hot in Proton. Starting on improved Persona, Saga, Exora and Preve the pattern of improvement is positive.
For the next product should be on par or much more better then Preve. The body structure and design is important, just need more improvement on pedestrian protection. Current rank is better then Korean car and some of Japan car, next model/version should be better then all Japan car.
But I just worry how Proton can improve, not just without DSZ but also because now own by DRB-Hicom the one of taikun cronies.
It’s good to know that Proton Preve meet the high safety standard in the C-segment cars, which to me is not beyond expectations judging by the safety features and the tough body of the car.
I don’t really go for many air- bags ( already 4 in the cfe model) as for sure the price of the car will be more. After all, my own house is without alarm system, cctv and other safety features.
However, i do carry two car alarms from my car keys to master bedroom just in case of emergency needs.
Apart safety, what i like most about Preve is the good chassis, ride & handling and comfort driving.
What I wish from Proton is better fit and finish and build quality of the interior / cabin.
Hope now Drb-Hicom has already undertake actions on this.
Look at it wow… Then see again… Australian … Worthless
Car safety is secondary but what most important is how people drive their cars. Knowing Malaysian bad driving habits, no cars can prove their worth as far as safety is concerned. I was travelling along the North-South Highway over the weekend and I could see the ugly side of Malaysian drivers all the time from small cheap cars to expensive high end cars and not to mention even buses and lorries and even motorcycles. In fact, I witnessed 3 accidents along the Highway. The situation is even worst on our local roads with motorists competing for the small road space. No wonder Malaysia records among the highest accident rates in the world!
it is all back to how you drive, not how good the car is
Hi, when I was going South and back during Chinese New Year, some ignorant impatient drivers (including cars from Singapore) drive on the EMERGENCY LANE even in SMOOTH TRAFFIC………..:O!!!!
hm.. this car also have rakyat attitude.. 5 stars for occupants inside the car but sorry for the pedestrians.. haha.. joke aside,
congratz proton.. now keep it up and make sure ur next saga have this kind of result or make it at least a 4 stars so that general rakyat, not only the rich one, can enjoy safer cars
Is that Malaysian life has no value, why autralia spec has 6 air bags while Malaysia spec only has two.
Yes, malaysian life always has no value… put out seatbelt and car signal lamp… they are no use at all, then put 10 air bag to make it more safer car, dont get me wrong fren, we all frantically want added more air bags… but are we mentally change bout how we drive? think…
CONGRATE. proud to be previan
DSZ and proton team behind Preve. salute all of you. you make me proud. sayang DSZ dah tak ada
alaaa… kalau PROTON pasang 20 airbag pun korang mesti komplen punyer…
H and T , kalau takde airbag pun, orang malaysia stil kata kereta paling selamat
Hehe… Pakatan Rakyat don’t want to put in their manifesto ka? Cheap2 car with 5star ENCAP. Perhaps RM25k will full safety gadgets onboard…
Overall ratings is good as it archived 5 Star. However, when look into details, there a many rooms need to be improved including the pedestrian protection.
Hopefully, with this new data, Proton can use it to improve their P3-22A Preve Hatchback. Redesign your front bonnet, headlamp and front bumper/grill for your current test P3-22A units to archive better results and only then go for production stage.
Whatever NCAP, for sure they are introducing and implementing more safety electronic systems not only about airbags, ABS, EBD, BA, ESC and Traction control.
Haha… Pakatan Rakyat doesn’t want to capture in their manifesto ka? Cheap2 car with good safety gadgets onboard. Perhaps 25k with 5 star ENCAP rating
CONGRATULATION my dear Preve/Proton you have done it,I wish the Preve hatchback score an even higher safety rating
Dont buy proton its very dangerous and ugly looking
semua bodoh..tak sedar yang sebenarnya gov yang tak hargai nyawa kita rakyat malaysia..tax tggi manufacture mesti nak untung..maximum untung minimum rugi..basic je pn..bila tax tinggi nak jual high spec punya kereta belum tentu laku..nak jual murah kena la cut cost..tu la vios kesayangan rakyat malaysia ni dpt dua airbag je..
kalo sayang nyawa jgn beli viva elite la oi.. vavi elita itu lebih mahal dari saga executive…
Superb work Proton. Now can we please have the Australian specs sold here from now on ? Pretty please ?
So other car makers should follow proton in using Milo tin?
The windscreen is gone due to the airbag. Everytime the airbag deploys, change your windscreen.
You think your shit ass Toyota (vios) is any good? Coming from a well established brand….. its piece of SHIT.
Check this out….. then you will see that our local cars (in this case targeted Proton bashers) are no longer like shit. Proton bashers, wake up you morons, its the new century now. No longer those milo tin and power windows issue days anymore. That’s buried and history already.
Vios vs Camry
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uHiYSAenanM
Same similarity of the shitty vios safety here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oH6pSnyQbMY
this is a new small overlap test in which was conducted on the new camry xv50 in the US by IIHS as well , it failed , the only 2 cars (that i can remember ) that excelled in them is the 3 series (F30), and the new honda accord…
sorry, once bitten twice shy.
And windscreen breakage due to such accidents and due to airbag deployment is completely NORMAL and the same with all other major car brands. Obviously, you morons don’t know much about cars at all.
I’d say good effort and keep it up! As for the Malaysian market, if there’s a political will, then all cars sold in Malaysia will be equipped with the same safety options. Then again, the first line of defence against an accident is always the driver… and not the car. Happy motoring!
Still won’t buy it. Why? Because it is a Proton.
For Malaysian market, not only curtain airbags, but we require more safety features & accessories:
1. Auto signal. Coz malaysian lazy to use signal stalk.
2. Auto vehicle sensor at T junction. Coz malaysian not stopping at T junction & always runs red light.
3. Auto light when its rain. Coz some malaysian lazy to switch on lights & be visible in the rain.
4. Auto inflated tyres. Some malaysian lazy to pump tyres.
5. Trashbin by the windows (considered compulsory exterior acc coz malaysian like to throw rubbish out of the window).
6. Autofast seatbelts. U know why.
7. Exhaust fan. for cabin, not engine exhaust. Coz many malaysian still smoking cig while driving.
And many more….
Where is amoi??? Suddenly so quiet. Usually the first person blabbermouth with pessimistic remarks. Give credit where credit is due please! Good job DSZ
Where is amoi??? Suddenly so quiet. Usually the first person to blabbermouth with pessimistic remarks. Give credit where credit is due please! Good job DSZ
Why not give it 6 star rating:)
Yes, I agree curtain airbags or whatever neccessary airbags should be included in Malaysian Preve. And all other cars for the sake of human lives! Why double standard?
But before that, for a start, let’s make full use of the rear seat belts. Unlimited amount of airbags won’t save lives if passengers are not properly buckled up, not to mention parents who don’t give a sh*t on their kids having circus session in the car.
Anyway, congrats on the achievement, Preve.
All talk about how many airbags in Preve. But did anyone interested to find out what is the cost of one airbag if need to replaced?
Good job proton. Life is precious everywhere so please do the same for all cars including Malaysia. Not just exported cars.
proton preve, everything ok..just quality very poor. I have changed many things that malfunctioned, i.e. radio, the buttons for changing the display on the dashboard, car seat, rubber at the side of the door.
