Meanwhile, Proton's traditional models also continued to perform well. The Proton X50 sold 2,389 units in April, its best monthly figure for the year. Its YTD total now stands at 7,506 units, making it the top-selling B-segment SUV. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/17356/15201181/conversions/web_TA_CariCarz_Review_Proton-S70-Flagship-X_-9-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15201181" alt="web_TA_CariCarz_Review_Proton-S70-Flagship-X_-9.jpg"><img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/17356/15201180/conversions/Caricarz-MBA-Proton-X50-RC-Ext-2-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 50%;" data-media-id="15201180" alt="Caricarz-MBA-Proton-X50-RC-Ext-2.jpg"> The X90 led the D-segment SUV category with 194 units sold in April, pushing its total to 873 units this year.

A widely shared social media post has highlighted growing concern among LRT commuters regarding an increase in<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/05/isolated-byd-atto-3-shutdown-incident-raises-ev-safety-and-support-questions" target="_blank" style=""> car battery </a>thefts near the Glenmarie station. The lack of sufficient parking forces many to park in unsupervised areas, making them easy targets. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">The issue gained traction after a TikTok video by @bateriku.com_ttdi featured a man claiming his car had its battery stolen twice. He further stated that stolen batteries could be sold on the black market for RM20 to RM30. <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;font-family:Arial,sans-serif;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">“If possible, avoid parking in these elevated areas near the slopes. Though parking is limited, it’s better to find alternative spots as these incidents allegedly occur frequently here at Glenmarie station,” the man says.
