    Proton Jumbuck Australia

    Proton Jumbuck Australia

    FROM
    $4,840

    Proton’s Jumbuck took over where Subaru’s Brumby left off.

    The small Brumby 4x4 ute departed the local market in 1994 and Proton’s similarly-sized, similarly-styled but FWD-only Jumbuck arrived in 2002.

    Popular with rural buyers as well as small business operators in urban areas it remained on sale locally until 2013 and well maintained examples are much sought after.

    Proton Jumbuck FAQs

    Small ute options in Australia?

    Sadly, the Jumbuck has gone the same way as the Subaru Brumby — the world now wants bigger utes. In any case, the Jumbuck was based on the old Mitsubishi Lancer, which meant it was barely safe, and Proton has insufficient funds to develop a new model.

    Good small ute?

    The Jumbuck only got a two-star safety rating from ANCAP and the Mighty Boy was regularly rated in the bottom 10 cars sold in Australia for safety. You should not consider either but get something like a pre-loved Nissan Navara.

    Proton Jumbuck ute alternative

    The short answer is no-one. Subaru was first with a half-tonne ute in its Brumby, which I owned and loved. But it has no plans for a replacement and neither does Proton, as all utes are now one-tonne and bigger. Hyundai revealed a ute based on the ix35 compact SUV at Detroit, but any production version is still a couple of years away.
