At the on-going General Police and Special Equipment Exhibition & Conference Asia 2015 (GPEC) event taking place at the Putra World Trade Centre, the Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) is showcasing its latest range of patrol cars.
Thanks to reader Razi Mohd, we have exclusive photos of the new vehicle range. Among the familiar Proton Inspira, Mitsubishi Evo Helang, Lancer, Toyota Fortuner and the Hilux, there are some new faces here you should get to know.
First up, we have the Proton Suprima S and Iriz patrol cars that only just broke cover on social media yesterday. More interestingly, there are several newcomers that we haven’t seen before – the Proton Exora MPV and a humble Perodua Axia (in ABS-less Standard G guise, it has to be said).
Just like the Axia, it has been reported that the smaller Proton Iriz will also be used by smaller police stations – replacing the old Perodua Kancil vehicles – while cars like the Suprima S, Inspira and Exora will be commissioned for duty by larger stations.
It also looks like PDRM has acquired a Volkswagen Jetta model for use — calling on the 1.4 litre TSI engine’s 158 hp/240 Nm to help catch the baddies. Next to the Mitsubishi Evolution X, the Jetta is now the most powerful vehicle in PDRM’s fleet, not counting the the Toyota Fortuner SUV and Toyota Hilux pick-up truck.
The new patrol vehicles you see here are all part of the 1,200 new units that have been approved to rejuvenate the existing fleet of ageing vehicles – particularly those aged eight years and above. You can also spot PDRM’s latest patrol car liveries.
GPEC 2015 is unfortunately a closed-door event, which means members of the general public will be denied entry. Fortunately, we do have these pictures for you to check out, so do enjoy.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Ford Interceptor Police Version would beat these police car knockoffs hands down!!
Majority cars are not faster than Jetta also.
So what do the Proton bashers have got to say now? PDRM added Axia because of low sales too?
Bash or not bash… Main concern were how much the police spend this time ??? With tax or free tax ???
Does not make sense if police pay taxes to buy those car..
All money the force has are from our tax money, and the event is not opened to us?
Later they start using Golf GTI/Passat etc DSG models then we tax payers can start riding motorcycle to save money support them.
If Polis got Jetta, when they chase the robber, the tow truck also must follow the chase because the DSG will breakdown for sure.
Why did the polis choose the Jetta knowing DSG is problematic and expensive to repair? Unless, PDRM is happy to send to repair to their own appointed workshops so that kickbacks can happen.
We all know about Government Perdanas, every 3 years, the cost to service a single Perdana is RM100k. I let you guess who owns the service workshop. It is not Proton by the way despite the cars still being under Proton warranty. Even under warranty, each Perdana cost the Government RM100k to just service.
Maybe the Jetta is a manual? Like the Helang Evo uses a 5-speed manual, so the Jetta uses a 6-speed manual?? I have to say, it’s a rather curious choice, going for a VW with the 7-speed DSG, which is well… not so good. Perhaps they could’ve gone with a Golf GTi/R to complement the Evo. A BMW 328i is not that bad either…
lol, you know what is DSG or not?
Not every single jetta also facing DSG issue. Especially the new batch jetta are seldom cause any issue. Go and own one to try.
Totally agreed. I own the new Jetta for 1.5 years now, driven it to many places. Never had any problem with the dsg or tsi twin charged engine. It’s a joy to drive the car. It’s irritating and definitely unhealthy to see criticism without substance. The new Jetta is reliable, enjoyable to drive and it’s a good car. Credit due when it’s due.
Can it do corners like Helang? Or will it lose a hubcap or two when bumping thru slopes and hills
Crown Victoria with LS3 engine will smoke these.
Buy Perodua Axia & Toyota Fortuner/Hilux is smart. Perodua & Toyota good RV! But The Proton, Mitsubishi & VW is bad RV! No profit to resale.
Who cares about RV, now in Malaysia everyone also looking to own a long term vehicle and dont wish to trade it.
Now where is P1 basher that said Iriz cannot sell and thus PDRM help P1 to clear Iriz stock, can you spot the famous Axia in the picture. It shows whatever car produced in Bolehland will be choosen as PDRM fleet as long as it meets certain requirement. Wondering how to chased the baddies while driving Axia, must be cute though :)
Meant PDRM also help Perodua clear Axia stock, hahaha
So,u guys out there still cannot grasp the actual economic situation in Bolehland?
Sooner,all the other gomen depts like Bomba,Kesihatan,Masyarakat etc.. will be pressured to replace whatever” aging ” fleet they have.
No need worry about Bank rejecting loans.Gomen guarantee payment(using tax dollars).Just issue the LPO,the new fleet of cars get delivered by tomorrow.Simple.No hassle to get hire purchase.
Now ,the shambolic car bosses are targeting gomen depts cos sales will continue to drop.
Protong,especially is getting more desperate cos they have lots of unsold stocks.Perodua ,to them is like additional bonus cos they are confident of hitting 200,000 units by Christmas.
If you want new cars,go ahead and buy BUT 6 months down the road, be very prepared if you lose your job under all the fanciful titles of VSS,MSS or Career Transition Plan.Good luck.
No need clear stock. Has been a long queue for Axia. Just few small disposable car to squeeze through small alley to chase baddies. That’s all.
Preve, Iriz and Jetta are definitely helping to clear stock.
Actually PDRM should change their attitude instead of changing their cars. 9 out of 10 PDRM officers who stop car offenders always ask for angpau to make the saman disappear. This is bad for the country as these offenders keep on breaking the law and endangering our lives now and in the future.
IGP, instead of changing your fleet of cars and all that, why don’t you teach your officers not to ask for money in exchange not to saman any given car.
the polis have become so brave nowadays. Even if offenders don’t give, they now openly ask. And they are so brave even to quote the amount.
ofeenders will be offenders. Finding the easy way out, they will just pay the angpau. If polis was clean and arrested such people, this would create such fear amongst the public and making them refrain from offering bribes.
As of now, the corruption rate is too high. There will be people who blame the givers, but if there are no takers, the givers also won’t start to offer to give.
Small car to squeeze through narrow road and don’t break down suddenly while chasing. Why not?
Just that it will be ‘disposable’ as in once ram the baddies, straight to junk yard. (also untung half cut shop owners).
axia to replace the smaller size’s sister. ntg wrong about that.
Looks something like “police please buy drb’s stock of unsold cars” than a proper fleet buy…
DSG will fail halfway chasing
your face will fail!
So far i never heard dsg fail during driving. It usually fails either when start moving or just start engine.
Wait until you see there is breakdown of VW first la
Brother, you own a vw? Otherwise don’t comment and spread wrong info. The dsg 7 speed is reliable and there are no more reported issues of malfunction. Don’t be ignorant of the current situation. Criticise constructively, and give credit when it’s due. The dsg issue was resolved long time ago.
i think you have been trapped in cave for long ago. DSG no longer an issue, how to breakdown? Wake up la.. VGM resolved DSG issue for long time ago lo
Basher spotted who did not even own a VW vehicle but listen to all the rumors. Go and own one before start giving misleading information.
comel je axia jadi keta polis.. hehe.. kalau ada kes-kes rompakan, polis dia mesti panggil, ‘backup2 weh’, ‘la dah terlepas’.. hehe..tapi ni mesti fungsi dia sebagai polis sokongan je ni. Bagus la, jimat
Police use Axia cannot catch the theft
just use a gun.
Axia would be used to patrol neighbourhood, save petrol when crawling at <10kmph. But bashers (i__a), suggest PDRM should use Helang to do it instead. Go figure
small thief like mat rempit can la… not big scale shark like 1mdb one. Sudah kantoi pun wat bodo aje.
If you have proof theres criminal element in 1MDB, please go to your nearest Rapizi opis. Otherwise, if you wanna klentong, just go back to Mkini, Harakah, Rocket
Nowaday thief all use luxury car bmw,vellfire …axia must be rev hard until 8k rpm to tailgate them
Police should choose myvi over axia.sure can high beam any thief car
This one win! haha
There’s a difference between patrol cars & response cars.
all these cars to go minum teh
Axia srsly?
Many models to please all parties…
The Preve / Suprima Patrol car is faster than the Jetta.
I wonder what is the average mileage for police patrol cars after 7-8 years, considering these cars been driven everywhere almost non-stop.. 500,000 km?
Also the police in Axia better be careful, there is no ESC, ABS, Air Bag there..
How come they use the standard G Axia that got no ABS.. Dah lah got no ABS, and absolutely also no ESC… Sure masa kejar perompak kereta boleh terbabas…
Paul, the exhibition will be open to the public starting fr Oct 22 – 23, 2015, 10 am – 5 pm
What’s wrong with having small patrol cars? Police in the UK have been using small diesel hatchbacks for years. Just because the Americans are using big V8 cars doesn’t mean everyone has to use them too.
Macais says if we wanna be democracy, we must follow murica. If that so, when can I start my gun-wielding Ku Klux Klan?
The Proton Iriz antenna looks different and longer from the usual 1.6 version. Custom specs perhaps?
Meanwhile in dubai, australia, italy etc…
we here still uses kei car and uncle cars to catch criminals just to clear proton’s stock of unsold cars.
rakyat is not stupid lah.
you are the stupid one. Italy & NYPD uses a smart fortwo. UK uses Vauxhall Astras and Corsas & Ford Fiestas. It’s called patrol cars.
Theboss memang bangang. All his comments main hentam je
I bet you stupid one lah..
Even Koreans use Hyundai, Kia and Renault Samsung, Chevrolet (previously known as Daewoo) as their police car.. Japan also use their Toyota.. UK use Vauxhall.. US use Ford, Chevy.. Spain using SEAT.. Germany using Mercedes, BMW, VW… Czech Rep using SKODA.. Sweden using Volvo… France using Peugeot, Renault.. Oz using Holden..
What I list here is the country that produce their own car and use it as police car in their own country..
What if, you live in those country, the police there use their own cars.. Are you gonna say the same thing? For example if you live Japan, do you want to say that “Japan gomen thinks the rakyat is so stupid, why they are not using Hyundai or Ford or Renault or even PROTON as our police car? Why they wasting our money buy a Toyota Crown, Toyota Corolla Axio as police car??”
And you think our gomen, PDRM are kaya enough during this bad economy to buy a LAMBOBEGINIBEGITU, PERARI ROSHEI, MASERATI, Nissan 370Z, KORVET, TOYOTA 86, LEXUS LFA, VW Golf R, Hyundai Veloster Turbo, Mustang?? Huhh??
Don’t bother want to car with Dubai, because the Pak Arabs is so kaya until they dont what to do with the money, so they spend recklessly and bought fcking expensive sport car for the police but the rate of the crime there is not that high..
Italy? They produce their own sports car?? So what?? Why you not bother modified the MyVi into the sports car like Italy so that the MyVi can take down any thief and also can terbang to the moon or even to Uranus…
PROTON is not that bad of car, just the after sales service is quite sucks, not mentioning their QC.. But at least we can proud of our product and not wasting money buying some totally fuvking awesome sport car as police car in this kind of bad economy time.. PROTON turbo is not that bad and not good like iVTEC Turbo etc, just not as good as other known car manufacturer…
It is called patrol car laaa…ronda2 sambil mengawasi kawasan setempat…..more patrol car..safer the neighborhood…baru rasa selamat dan aman
I would recommend them to request proton to supply tuned full boost preve rather than expensive jetta. Our preve is so much detuned & has high potential of power increase very easily. For the cvt they can change to normal manual transmission to enable higher torque & more durable.
Haiyaa..it is not PDRM buy the whole car. it is own by SPANCO and leased to PDRM paid using the G coffer which come from tax paid by everyone. I wonder the VW come with extra device, defeat device i think.
Long live Spanco. Spanking rakyat’s money.
The defeat device only installed in US diesel engine vehicle la. Malaysia is not affected. Orang asli
The defeat device only installed in US diesel engine vehicle la. Malaysia is not affected. Orang asli !!!
PDRM did a good move by replacing all the old cars and ordering new ones.I don’t understand why does smaller police stations need 2 types of cars,Axia and Iriz?Maybe Iriz for chases because of its faster engine and Axia for city rounds.But why Axia in G spec?No ABS and safety features.The Exora is replacing the Hiace vans I think.Are the Volvos S80’s still around?
next round PDRM going to use Veyron already to chase baddies.
tugas kete2 nie bawak kon je..PDRM bole kutip derma kat jln kampong dan lrg gelap
One thing that makes me wonder. Is it necessary for these cars to be added with all those bodykits? (Eg: suprima n fortuner) why don’t they just stick with the standard kit only? I don’t mind if they want to tune the car performance. But what the need of those bodykits?
The bodykits and stickers will strike fear into the hearts of the offenders, making them believe that they will be outrun by the police…However, in the real world, its just another reason to charge more for the cars. Its just like you’re given peanuts and wet tissues when you go dine at restaurants, you get the feel good factor but it comes with a price.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry, at least Proton will be No 1 again in Malaysia considering sale/replacement of taxis and government cars.
wow Axia!
Ke Axion – gunakan tanpa was-was?
Finally i can be proud of our PDRM. Keep up the good work and surely the rakyat will once again have confident in you.
Nice, nice, welcome to the family. But why choose the Jetta ? This is the first VW to grace PDRM’s fleet, if I’m not mistaken. Most importantly, it’s a CKD model, so I guess that’s somewhat acceptable… but not too many, those Jettas are not cheap and will be expensive to maintain.
Wake up,
Volkswagen is going through tough time, MY VW owned by DRBHicom. DRBHicom owned by Albukhary so its still a way of clearing stock.
Jetta doing promotion ma, ofcoz buy it la. On the road got so many Jetta. I don’t they need help from PDRM help to clear stock.
Axia is replace model for Kancil patrol cars..
