Proton Cars Australia has no plans to import any extra units of the Proton Preve once it sells out its remaining stock of the car in 2016. Once all units of the Preve has been exhausted, only the Suprima S and Exora will form the Proton line-up in Australia.
As of current, local Proton dealers in the country have roughly 40 units of the Preve, which will most likely be bought up in the early months of next year. The Preve is available in three variants – GX manual, GX CVT and GXR CVT, with promotional prices currently at AUD$14,990 (RM46,622), AUD$16,990 (RM52,760) and AUD$21,390 (RM66,423), respectively.
The Preve, which was launched in Australia in 2012, represents nearly 80% of all Proton sales in Australia in 2015. Up till the end of November, Proton Cars Australia registered 397 units sold, of which 316 were Preves. This doesn’t bode well for Proton Cars Australia, with local stock of the Exora almost exhausted and new cars not estimated to arrive until the second quarter of 2016.
