Many countries with backward automobile industries, their leaders purchase Mercedes-Benz S-class, BMW 7 Series and other foreign brands, but there are also some countries in order to support their own automobile industry and use self-developed cars, although their chassis technology may still come from abroad.
1. Proton Perdana Extended Edition
On December 11, 2013, the second generation of Proton Perdana made its debut, which is the Malaysian skinlift version of the Eighth Generation Honda Accord in North America. In the same year it was selected as the Prime Minister of Malaysia and for this purpose an extended version was built, continuing the civilian version of the 2.4-liter K24Z2 inline four-cylinder engine.

The Samand LX was redesigned and the grille was split into two sides by the logo.
Based on a Peugeot 405 design from the 90s, Samand started in 2001 and sold its first car that year. The car is a front-facing front-drive, powered by an EF7 1.7-liter inline 4-cylinder engine designed in collaboration with Germany (using both compressed natural gas and gasoline fuel), which produces 108 horsepower and accelerates 11 seconds per 100 km/h; in mid-2010, the engine dismantled the compressed natural gas components and ECU, using only gasoline fuel, and the subsequent vehicles are planned to install EF7NE gasoline engines; and some cars are equipped with French engines. 80% of the parts of the car are produced in China, and only the manual transmission is optional.
