Since Proton’s merger with Geely, the company has produced some quality vehicles.
The Proton X70 is the company’s first SUV which has since sold 48,000 units within two years.
The SUV has since been exported to other countries such as Brunei, Indonesia and Pakistan.
The first question netizens asked was about the unique colourways for the police force in Kenya.
Another netizen commented and said they finally knew why there was an eight-month waitlist for the Proton X70.
The others praised the majestic look of the new police cars, and they even noted the fierce Proton logo.
