It's well-equipped, the price is right, and its cargo area will swallow almost as much as a Falcon ute's. Without a load onboard, however, Proton's Jumbuck GLSi will rattle your fillings.
Australia’s leading independent vehicle safety advocate, the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP), has issued crash test results for three imported utes on the Australian market. All three scored poorly.
Proton has announced that its Jumbuck utility model, as currently on long-term loan to CarAdvice, will be phased out over the next few months ahead of the launch of an all new model.
The Proton Jumbuck is already the most economical and most affordable utility in Australia, however it seems Proton are struggling to shift the little workhorse even at the $14,990 sticker price.
