Proton has confirmed on its Facebook page that the national carmaker’s offer of a seven-year/250,000 km extended warranty on the Saga, Iriz, Preve, Suprima S and Exora ended on Monday.
But wait a minute, you ask, wasn’t the promotion only valid for the months of May and June? Well, it appears that Proton had extended the extended warranty offer for five months until the end of November, presumably in the interest of drumming up sales.
From now on, the warranty terms revert to five years or 150,000 km (whichever comes first) on the Iriz, Preve and Suprima S and three years or 100,000 km on the Saga and Exora. As for other models not covered by the promotion, the Inspira is also covered by a three-year/100,000 km warranty, while the Persona continues with the original two-year/50,000 km warranty period.
