Proton also hopes the Iriz, its first 1.3 liter engine car, will help snatch back market share from domestic compact car maker Perodua and reinvigorate plans to increase overseas sales.

The Escalade, which comes with up to eight seats, also is the first in the segment with a standard air bag that deploys into the middle of the front seats, where no one sits. In side crashes, this air bag provides extra protection as crash forces push the driver or front passenger body toward the center of the vehicle, Cadillac officials said. (AP Photo/General Motors)
