The Finance Ministry said the government decided to replace the Proton Perdana official vehicles for ministers with Toyota Vellfires because the monthly lease cost was cheaper.

According to the price provided by the Finance Ministry, the monthly lease of the Toyota Vellfire 2.5L is RM4,851.61 while the Proton Perdana 2.4 Premium’s lease was RM4,854.41 a month.

This translates to a saving of RM2.80 per vehicle per month.
