Proton has announced an expanded partnership with Grab Malaysia, offering new incentives to driver-partners who choose to purchase a new S70 or X-Series SUV for their business.
Building on the the “Saga Power Up for Grab Driver-Partners” programme, which saw 148 units of the new Proton Saga registered since November last year, Grab driver-partners can also now benefit from the incentives when they choose a new Proton S70 or X-Series SUV, which are eligible under the GrabCar Plus and GrabCar (6-seater) categories.
The benefits under the partnership includes cash rebates of up to RM13,000, 5% service discount for the first two years or 40,000 km, and RM500 in fuel support.
Proton Edar, Deputy Director of Sales, Ong Chee Wooi, said, “Our strengthened partnership with Grab Malaysia marks a crucial step in empowering the e-hailing sector. Proton is thrilled to make our S70 and premium X-series models more accessible to Grab drivers.”

“For gig workers, this comprehensive programme extends beyond exclusive benefits to assurance of driving Proton cars. Its reliability and affordable maintenance costs are important factors for those who use cars as their primary working tools,” Ong added.
Grab Malaysia Director of Country Operations, Rashid Shukor, also mentioned that the collaboration will make it easier for Grab’s driver-partners to access vehicles, allowing driver-partners to support their loved ones while meeting the growing demand for rides.
