Proton to fit all cars with N95 cabin filter from today – retrofit available from RM59, 15% discount till Oct 9

Today is a special day for Proton, as it’s the 35th birthday of the car that started it all for the brand, the Proton Saga. Earlier today, Proton unveiled the Saga Anniversary Edition, and during the virtual launch, the company also announced another “gift”.

From today, Proton will equip all its cars with an N95 cabin filter. Previously only available on the X70 flagship, the cabin filter will now come standard with all Saga, Persona, Iriz and Exora models registered after July 9 at no extra cost.

Lucky them new customers, but existing owners can also replace their cabin filters with the N95 item. For the Saga, Persona, Iriz and Exora, it’s RM59 excluding labour charges, but from now till October 9 this year, there will be a 15% discount on the price of the filter, which makes it RM50.15. For the X70, the N95 filter price is RM79, and there’s a 15% discount valid till August 18, which makes it RM67.15 excluding labour.

Proton says that its N95 cabin filter is capable of removing 95% of particles larger than 0.3 microns and 98% of PM2.5 particulates, so smoke particulates, dust, bacteria and other pollutants can be filtered out. The filtration is active in both the air-con’s fresh and recirculation modes.

    • If that worries you so much, take out the filter. They you get the full blast of cold, unfiltered air.

          Sacrifice cooling? You must be one who never used Proton cars before. It is common knowledge Protons have the best cooling AC, even with a higher specced filter, Proton cars would merely reduce to a cooling level on par with Jap brands, no losses there. Me sees the only one tipu here is YOU.

      For more than 30 years, Proton could not give us a decent cabin filter. But now Proton is so lucky to get this GC advance cabin filter technology from Geely.

      Restrict air flow. Not only passenger overheats … blower motor will overheat and blow up. Proton must be so proud thinking they are the first and others “didn’t” think of it.

        Apply some common sense.. which car manufacturer would want anything to blow up? You seem to indicate that they (Geely/Proton) doesn’t have RnD and someone said ‘Put N95 in there!’ and all others are like ‘You’re right!!’

    By right i am feel proud when a national carmaker like Proton can fit all their cars with high quality cabin filter with little or no extra cost to customers, while i am so ashamed when another national carmaker can’t even fit all their cars with a bloody temperature gauge, somemore selling price are so expensive for cheap nasty cars.
