19-9-2023 (KUALA LUMPUR) The trend of rich influencers flaunting their luxury car deliveries in transparent trucks has become a familiar sight in recent times. However, this time, it’s not a high-end vehicle stealing the spotlight but a more affordable civilian car – the Proton Saga.
A video circulating on Xiaohongshu has captured the attention of many, showcasing a Proton Saga being transported in a transparent truck. This form of luxury delivery, typically associated with pricier automobiles, has generated quite a buzz.
The clip highlights the beloved and budget-friendly Proton Saga as it enjoys this unique VIP treatment, a rarity in the car sales industry. The practice of delivering cars in transparent trucks is not common due to the considerable costs involved.
The service, while undeniably extravagant and offering a fresh level of excitement to customers during the “unboxing” of their new cars, comes at a significant price. It transforms the simple act of receiving a new vehicle into a ceremonious event.
When asked about the typical price range of cars eligible for this service, one industry insider stated, “We believe that most new car manufacturers don’t offer this kind of service because even high-end brands like Mercedes, BMW, and Porsche have their own lorries to deliver cars to customers’ homes, not in these transparent glass types.”
In the video, the Proton Saga embarks on a journey from KL to JB, a route that incurred a cost exceeding RM 4,000, entirely borne by the customer.
Netizens who spotted this unusual sight on the road couldn’t resist sharing their amazement at seeing the humble yet dependable Proton Saga receiving such VIP packaging usually reserved for luxury vehicles.
