Here are more images of the refreshed Proton Gen2, which will be available for viewing at Proton showrooms starting from tomorrow (22 May). This revision to Proton’s five-door hatch is almost like the SE treatment previously applied to the Persona and Saga, with exterior changes such as a black roof, red or white paint schemes and grey door handles. The wheels are also painted in the same colour.
This car we photographed is the High-Line automatic that goes for RM 60,488. It comes with red/black leather seats and trim, cruise control and steering wheel audio buttons, among other kit. The RM6,000 cheaper M-Line auto does without all these, but now comes with the 125 bhp Campro CPS engine, which replaces the Campro IAFM unit.
The bespoke Blaupunkt stereo (which not everyone likes) remains, unlike the Persona Elegance, which replaces it with an aftermarket single-DIN player. The instrument design is carried over from before. Proton only released a few images yesterday, so go ahead and browse our live gallery for a better view – it’s after the jump!
