Initially the brand will come loaded with with a very strong lineup comprising of a sedan Proton Savvy, a small car Proton Saga and a SUV Proton Exora. Earlier the brand was on a look out for a company ready to join hands with it and make its entry easier, but now the brand is all ready to enter alone.

Currently Ford hold a stake of 5% which was 11% before November 2010, but this step of the former is not targeted at a break up unlike the Hero Group and Honda break up. In fact both the companies have already stated of helping each other at crucial points in future expansion plans.
