During the launch of the new X70 last week, Proton’s director of after-sales Wan Hazran announced three after-sales commitments, promising to minimise time spent at service centres in a bid to increase consumer confidence in the refreshed SUV and its new engine.

Firstly, the company said that cars entered for basic maintenance (engine oil and filter replacements only, i.e. 10,000, 20,000 or 30,000 km) will receive “fast service,” although exactly how long that service will take is unknown. This is for customers who make an appointment ahead of time and choose to stay on at the service centre instead of leaving the premises.

For more involved maintenance procedures (say at 40,000, 60,000 or 80,000 km), Proton is promising a turnaround within 24 hours, and this applies for both appointments and walk-ins. But the biggest benefit is for customers whose repair works take more than three days.

In this situation, the service centre will provide a courtesy car to use during this downtime, as well as a one-time free service offer the next time the customer comes in for scheduled maintenance. We’ve since been told that these commitments will be made for the new Saga, too.

As a refresher, both the X70 and Saga come with a new 1.5 litre i-GT four-cylinder engine, in 181 PS/300 Nm turbo form in the X70 and as a 120 PS/150 Nm naturally-aspirated mill in the Saga. The latter has also been completely revamped with a new design inside and out, plus a brace of new technologies and driver assistance functions.

Prices for the Saga start at RM38,990 for the Standard, rising up to RM44,990 for the Executive and RM49,990 for the Premium. As for the X70, its variant lineup has been streamlined to just two, the RM99,800 Executive and the RM112,800 for the Premium – both with the current RM7,000 launch rebate for the first 1,500 units, valid until March 31.
