Proton has announced that all models in its current line-up qualify for trade-in incentives for customers trading in vehicles 20 years or older to be scrapped and removed from the road. This move is in-line with the launch of the government’s Matching Grant Programme for the Replacement of Old Vehicles.
The company will be offering a rebate matching the amount from the government, worth up to RM 2,000.
Below are the incentive details:
- Proton Saga: RM 1,000
- Proton eMas 5: RM 1,000
- Proton X50: RM 2,000
- Proton X70: RM 2,000
- Proton eMas 7: RM 2,000
When combined with the matching grant, it means that the maximum amount of incentive a customer can receive is up to RM 2,000 and RM 4,000, respectively.
This move is part of the government’s plan to reduce the population of older cars and replacing them with safer and more efficient cars. Additionally, this move would also help Proton’s target to achieve 200,000 total industry volume (TIV) for 2026.

“Proton is proud to be able to offer our customers even more value by being a partner in the Malaysian government’s Matching Grant Programme for the Replacement of Old Vehicles. This initiative will encourage the responsible replacement of old, unroadworthy vehicles and improve road safety while supporting the transition towards cleaner and more efficient mobility.
“The incentive offered by Proton is an extension of the Proton Xchange Programme launched in May 2025. Offering up to RM2,000 in over trade for customers who scrapped their old vehicles for a new Proton model, 4,344 transactions were made resulting in approximately RM8.68 million being given out towards the purchase of a new car by the end of 2025,” said Dr Li Chunrong, Chief Executive Officer, Proton.
