After much speculation, Proton has confirmed that its first ever SUV model ,will be launched by the end of this year.

The SUV, a joint effort between the national carmaker and China based Geely, is in its final stage of development and test run.

Proton's first SUV is based on Geely's Boyue which is among the best selling model in China.

Measuring 4.5 metres long, the Boyue is designed by former Volvo designer Peter Horbury, who heads Geely’s design studios located in Gothenburg, Shanghai, Barcelona and Los Angeles.

In China, the SUV is offered with a range of engines, including a 2.4 litre naturally-aspirated unit and a 1.8 litre turbo.
