The automobile industry in Bangladesh is booming day by day, we have already seen how the motorcycle industry taking a good leap and soon in the next few years we will see that car industry.
I already raised my voice of why I prefer a brand new car over a reconditon car & to add to this list I can suggest a very good underrated brand in the world, Proton.
Proton car brand was established back in 1983 and two cars are locally assembled in Bangladesh with joint venture with PHP Automobiles Ltd.
In the past Proton had joint venture collaboration with Mitsubishi & then a decade later it was taken over by Lotus & currently 51% stake has been with Chinese car company Geely Automobiles.
Currently in Bangladesh Proton has 4 cars lineup in their grid:
| Model Name | Engine Capacity | Power & Torque | Price |
| Saga | 1332 cc | 94 HP – 120 NM | 14,99,800 |
| Preve | 1597 cc | 109 HP – 150 NM | 23,50,000 |
| Persona | 1597 cc | 109 HP – 150 NM | 24,50,000 |
| Exora | 1561 cc | 138 HP – 205 NM | upcoming |
| Saga 2021 | 1500 cc | 18,00,000 | |
| X70 | 1500 cc | 38,00,000 – 42,00,000 |
With the purchase of every car you will get 3 years or 30,000 km warranty & 5 free service with the purchase of car. Proton will soon launch a SUV, X70 in Bangladesh as in Bangladesh SUV is the most selling segment after sedan.

As a car it won’t be as good as Toyota but it will be better then Tata. If they can provide good after sales service then for sure this Porton brand could be a game changer in Bangladesh
