The Proton Jumbuck makes a come back after months of uncertainty.
Supplies of the Proton Jumbuck ute are starting to flow after months of tight supply that threatened to derail the little Malaysian ute's chances of success.
The compact pickup looked like being a local hit until supplies dried up when component shortages limited production. But Proton is finally on top of the problem.
And to celebrate, as well as boosting Australian sales, it is delivering every Jumbuck sold in January with a $2300 quad bike. The deal has a small hitch though, as buyers have to spend an extra $1000 on Proton accessories.
Jumbuck prices start from $14,990 for the GLi model and $16,990 for the GLSi version.
The 50cc ATV quad bike is a workhorse, not a play racer, and fits easily into the Jumbuck's ute tray. It was chosen because of the popularity of quads.
Farmers are an important target for the Jumbuck.
“It will appeal to a wide range of buyers, from security companies who could use the quad for patrolling ... to vineyard operators who can use the Jumbuck and its smaller mate to access the narrow vine rows,” Proton Cars Australia managing director John Startari says.
