Once again, the festivities aren’t too far away, and Chinese New Year seems as good a time as any to welcome a new car into the household. To that end, Proton Edar is running a Chinese New Year promotion, with rebates on each model ranging from RM500 to RM12,000.
Starting with the Saga and Persona, which start from RM36,800 and RM46,350 respectively, a rebate of up to RM500 is offered. Meanwhile, the Exora people-mover starts from RM69,840, and now comes with a rebate of up to RM4,000. Next up are the Preve and the Perdana, starting from RM59,710 and RM113,438 respectively, with a rebate of up to RM5,000 each.
Proton’s B-segment hatchback, the Iriz, comes with a rebate of up to RM9,300, from a starting price of RM41,520. Last but not least is the Proton Suprima S, the sole model here to come into the CNY promotion with a five-figure rebate – up to RM12,000 to be exact. Prices for the turbocharged hatchback start from RM69,840.
Valid until January 31, 2017, prices as stated on this Chinese New Year promotion are applicable to Peninsular Malaysia only.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Many comments express skepticism about Proton’s promo rebate of up to RM12k, viewing it as a move to clear old stocks rather than genuine customer benefit. Several commenters highlight Proton's ongoing financial struggles, including low profit margins and reliance on discounts to boost sales, which some interpret as signs of poor sales performance. Critics also mention the aging and less reliable models like Preve and Iriz, with some claiming Proton’s quality issues and long-standing supplier contracts hinder competitiveness. There is a perception that Proton’s discounts are primarily to clear stock and that the company struggles with brand reputation and profitability. Conversely, some appreciate the initiative as a positive effort to promote affordable cars, though many remain doubtful about Proton’s future prospects and the effectiveness of current strategies.
