I think competitive with what we have currently in the Malaysia market. We can't compare with what is there outside the country nor Malaysia will overnight lower the car prices. ICE car prices going up every year is your prove it won't go down. After 2025 ended, the tax will be slapped on the EV, so even if you CKD, that tax brings it up back to what it is now, maybe a bit lower but you won't be seeing say a Dolphin going for RM65K-70K.
Obviously Proton did nothing on the car. I even think the logo and leterring might even be Geely's work as they don't want to let any incompetent people to do it.

For me the big elephant in the room is Proton itself, it is already a failed company long time ago. Now, given competitive cars like the x series, yet they are not doing miles better than their shit self in terms of after sales and service. Geely has given them basically everything despite only owning 49%, you think they don't feel short handed? So, selling the Galaxy series in other RHD market directly is what they are doing to piss Proton off. Heck, even CEO Li Chunrong gave a speech in Mandarin on the e.MAS 7 launch while before this he was giving speech in English in any of the x series car launch.

Perodua on the other hand, I won't be shock they will be a power house in EV in this region in the near future. They just know how to make cars that people want with a specific need, socio economic background, and good supply chain. All they need now is a factory twice the size of what they have now. They have already hit 100% of capacity.

Geely hasn't helped Proton in any way, those models that they rebadge Proton have to pay out of pocket, plus pay Geely billion ringgit contract for spare parts and rights to use. Problem is the way Geely running the company, pixx off all the local suppliers as well. Walk into Proton SC today and see all the spare parts, all with Geely logo, which means is imported direct from China and not through local industry.

Perodua don't have this issue. When they launch a model it is 90% local content. I have way more confidence in Perodua nowadays, and the main failures of old models like Myvi was the ride and handling, floating on highway speeds. Now already solved because so many ex-Proton engineers jumped over, again due to Geely management.

But be it Proton, P2, or Chery, they need to share the local percentage content for the car parts in order to getting the tax rebates hence getting an attractive price. Doubt so they easy to scam the gomen? X70 ckd with 70% as per in news

This is for model other than this Emas since EV no tax

IIRC Proton/Geely always had exemption because they "promise" to increase local content in whatever period of time. CBU X70 also had local tax rebate, that's why you see CBU vs CKD not much price difference if at all. Compare standard spec to spec, not executive and above since got equipment difference, CBU and CKD price only 5k difference. 5% only for 100k car.

S70 launch I remember they promise to reach 70% in two years. Which means launch time is what, 30%? Not good enough for so called local car brand, when Perodua is launching Alza at 90% local content at launch.
