PROTON’s family sedan, the Prevé, has been awarded 5 Star rating in the Australasian New Car Assessment Programme, better known as the ANCAP. The result, announced by ANCAP, came after the the completion of three crash tests – frontal offset, side impact and pole – conducted by independent specialist laboratories in Australia to determine the safety level of the Proton Prevé.
To qualify for ANCAP star ratings, new vehicles are assessed and awarded points collected from a combination of test categories and scientific criteria. In order to obtain 5 Star rating – the highest award given by ANCAP, the Proton Prevé had to achieve the highest international recognised standards in all of its test categories. Equipped with specifications that are also in compliance with the Australian automotive safety standards, the Prevé now joins the ranks of many other international renowned models as a car that is recommended by ANCAP to be purchased by consumers attributed to its high standard of safety.
A technological first for PROTON in engineering, all Proton Prevé units produced for domestic and export markets utilizes a technology defined as Hot Press Forming (HPF), that provides better protection and higher body as well as structural rigidity without compromising the overall car bodyweight. The 5 Star ratings awarded to the Proton Prevé follows the recent achievement by Saga FLX, another model under the PROTON marque which received a 3 Star rating by the ASEAN New Car Assessment Programme (ASEAN NCAP).
The Proton Prevé is priced from RM72,990 on-the-road (Peninsular Malaysia) for the Premium variant, RM62,990 for the Executive CVT and RM59,990 for the Executive with manual transmission. Six colour choices are available; Fire Red, Blue Lagoon, Tranquility Black, Solid White, Genetic Silver and Elegant Brown.
