It’s all heading towards the much-awaited launch of Proton’s P3-21A sedan – according to Proton MD Datuk Seri Syed Zainal Abidin, the car will be launched by the end of this month.
Of course, that means that there’s still time to tease the vehicle, and the latest run is via video, with the car being featured in a TV3 Buletin Utama snippet. The clip does the beguile bit via the usual silhouette play, but there are glimpses of details, like with the engine start/stop button, paddle shifters, steering wheel-mounted function controls as well as a distinct framing of the front and rear light assemblies.
Bookings for the car are set to begin nationwide from March 14, which is also the day that the company kicks off its five-day POWER OF 1 event at Bukit Jalil. Reports elsewhere say the model is expected to be launched in Indonesia and Thailand by this year and in Australia next year.

Alamak! Pagi-pagi buka internet terpaksa jenguk kereta sial ni. Better don’t go out, takut accident.
kesian Rotiboy ni..masih percaya sial lagi..huhu.better you buy basikal lah.hehe
kereta tiada kaitan dengan sial.Besi je beb :)
Visitor, continue to read please. Most of the bad words came from the malay hero themselves….. disgust on their own product…
Yes.. good.. keep it up…
“thou shall forgive a school boy for his brain is still not fully developed”
Sial=(selalu gagal dalam mendapat sesuatu), tidak bernasib baik (selalu ditimpa kemalangan, selalu susah).
kepada Rotiboy kalau dah kena SIAL sebab beli kereta proton, try la kereta lain BMW, MERC dan etc. Tapi kalau kena SIAL jugak, kena muhasabah diri.
buat masa ni kereta Proton aku OK jer. masalh kecik2 tu adala jugak.
Entah2 diri sendiri yg sial…
Aduhai kesiannya kat Rotiboy ni..masih lagi percaya pada sial di mindanya…lower class minded.better you ride fixie jelah.
Product from Proton mmg sial pun
As… lu memang sial pn… same which rotiboy… double sial siot…
Arrgh…..the early part of the video looks promising until it shows the REAR view of the car!!! WTH they using the same tail lamp as Proton Saga and just add on a rectangle piece of rear lamp and call a new design?! (1:53)
do i care?
I don’t mind about rear view like this, or front view like that.
As long as this model can prove itself to be reliable, and economically-priced, me and many others will surely be satisfied.
That is all we need and hope from a Proton car all this while.
Look but don’t touch!
If you buy this car , you’ll get stuck with it for 9 years!
The reason…..after 2 rears already depreciate 40%. After 5 yrs, depreciate 70%. After 7 yrs, finally want to sell, you find out you still have to top up 10k just to get rid of the car. Go buy a Myvii or Alza, otherwise don’t buy at all.
Really want to drive good car? Go holiday to Perth, rent a Holden 3.7litre , and whack. Cheaper and it gives you a buzz that lasts months.
> …rent a Holden 3.7litre , and whack. Cheaper and it gives you a buzz that lasts months.
Too bad it’s rent and last only months.
WTH????? Myvi???? Alza???? U cant be serious…. This is stupidity… Hahaha… and WAT DE EFFF???? Why dont just rent r35 in Malaysia??? Why need to go to Perth to drive Holden???? And still care of the word of CHEAPER????? If u go there, then just rent a Ford Falcon XR8…
Baru bawak Holden pon kecoh…baik cakap bawak Ferrari FXX ke, Bugatti veyron ke.
SO WHAT?DO I CARE ?IT OUR TASTE OUR MONEY OUR FUTURE CAR NOT YOU…
People buy car for daily use lah. ! How can renting a car in australia help you go to work, fetch ur gf, family or your children here in malaysia?
Don’t talk what is irrelevant, think b4 u give any comment..now go and rent a toilet so that u can pee in your house..
I agree,Obama.I mean,the specs,the front and everything looks really good,but the rear kinda look dated a bit.
ko mesti tak pernah baca majalah oversea.Takkan tak tahu Satria GTi pernah memang anugerah.Exora pun ada perkara yang orang Thailand dan Indonesia puji.
ape jadah ko tibe2 ckp psl GTI & exora?
agree with Alpha..tail lamp bit old skool.
Lol..
Apa kaitan majalah overseas dengan ‘rear’ kereta P3-21A ni?
Anyway I also agree with ‘Obama’, ‘Alpha’ and ‘I am’… the “REAR” (belakang kereta ini) looks dated.. maybe even a bit weird.
The front of the car is alright.. no problems there.
Also i think its time to work out a new engine Proton.
wait for a few months and surely P1 will come out with a new tail lamp maaa…!!! remember flx???
Its better then copy from H or T. At least it’s genuine from Proton
Copy from Korean – Naza Kia Forte
and Naza Kia Forte copied Honda Civic…
Sorry, it is not genuinely proton, search for Carbon Motor’e E7…
because that the identity of proton ,,
like beemer , why always same front light design ?
come on froggy, get out of the box..
Porsche also come with the SAME front light design from d beginning of it production..not much change..the body of the car also just look the same.. just change a lite bit..
but why nobody complain its so…….boring car???
ha3 Proton la low-class…ada ko jumpa makhluk negara lain puji n bangga mengunung drive keta cap ayam ni????
Ko bleh p bangga la dgn proton copy-cat budus tu smpai mampus…kesian xmampu bleh keta import tp perasaan pakai keta import
bagus2 jer bro ..,
ade jer org luar negare puji lete proton , ex satria neo …
diorang suke nk ikut rally concept nes S2000,
dasar pk buruk je,
proton bukan copy-cat , innovasi lah … xsalah tiru n improve technolgy yg lebih baik,
nak develope sendri je , ko sponsor lar RnD proton ..
bro bleh tlong senarai apa inovasi dn pncapaian proton selepas 27 tahun? satria rally tu pun pkai enjin renult, body pun org lain tuned kn. proton ni dh jd biawak hdup, kenapa nk minta prlindungn psrn klau sndiri xda daya saing. nk launch keta pun brbulan amik buat teaser, camo etc. just lncr je la ni tup2 bnm dh ketatkan syrat loan
think long before u talk more…
there always reasons of all that ,,
nak develop enjin bukan senang2 , RnD punye cost sangat mahal
then pekerja yang dok perah otak tu xkan nk bayar 2ringgit sejam sbb nk jmat kos …
then nak test ketahanan kereta lagi , reliable ke x … bnyk test kene buat,
kete lain brand plak seminggu da cipta enjin baru kan.,,
jika kita semua support jenama negara, RnD boleh pergi jauh punyer…
ini bagi kata2 negatif kat proton ,,
–papepun bro, tengok diri sendiri dulu RnD diri dulu, adakah anda Master/PHD dlm bidang automotif ? ilmu tinggi then boleh cite bnyak2 ye
renung2kan dan selamat beramal..
papa rich….thank you for your advise….thu pun proton xda kemampuan…ckp berbelit-belit mcm2 alasan, soalan aku pun ko xjawab….kata bnyak sangat cash, sintikan modal dr kerajaan, insentif R&D….p ke mana semua duit2 tu….ni ngabiskn boreh jo….cuba ko pegi pikir panjang (think long) n bandingkan apa yg Honda capai selepas 27 tahun penubuhan dgn 27 tahun selepas penubuhan proton….pikir2 kan dan selamat beramal….
Awat hang eksiden kereta hang tak kemek dengan calar ka ? kalau tak mai aku nak beli.
takut nak keluar? duduk rumah buat roti tolong mak tu, penakut.
Halamak rotiboy, xde sape yg yg paksa u bukak page nie pagi.. Kesiannya u duduk dalam dunia sial lagi.. haha.. org ulu sg tembeling nie…
you want bmw work hard, if proton bungkus gov will stop tax on other makers? in your dream
Like Martin Luther King once said” I have a dream……..” Today you sea a black man heading the USA. So guys…..lets dream.
and it takes about… 50+ presidents and several hundred years i supposed
with small minded conformists like you……it may probably never happen. I wonder why you even bother to wake up in the morning.
am i saying it will never happen?
i wake up in the morning bcoz i have my own plan for each day… thanks for being caring…
ko kalau tak suka tak payah la panggil…aku tak suka kau,perlu ke aku panggil kau sial???
ALAMAK PAGI-PAGI SAYA BUKA BLOG PAULTAN SUDAH NAMAPKA COMMENT BUDAK SIAL INI..OPSSSS
The 10 guys who liked my comments are the TRUE PATRIOTS. Patut bagi pingat kat korang. Remember, the majority is always wrong. Bcause the majority could be just a bunch of disgruntled proton salesmen. To them i say……..People, please change your jobs! Tq
true patriots tak menyalak… menyalahkan orang lain atas kesialan diri sendiri…
diorang take the lead… change the system….
kau nak kereta murah?

Alamak bkak2 je ad org bodoh komen benda bodoh. Bodohnye org ni….
PAULTAN & DRIVEN, HOPE YOU GUYS CAN UPGRADE THIS BLOG USING FACEBOOK BASED COMMENTS SO THAT WE CAN SEE THE REAL PERSON BEHIND EVERY COMMENTS….ESP COMMENTS FROM ‘TAKDE TELOR PUNYA ROTIBOY’
I’d agree. Facebook commenting system would also drive additional traffic towards the site, which never hurts. Plus it’s a cinch to implement on WordPress.
so you are the reckless driver ,
if u looking for accident car type, buy the obama’s car .. even 50mm bullet cannot penetrate + bomb proof …
“sial” is a MEAN word.
better check your mental in the morning rather than spitting out such bad words.
MUHASABAH diri di pagi hari dlm bahasa malaysia..
cukup 44 komen balas balik ayat “sial” ko tu, kang ko yang betul SIAL…opsss…
Betul la. Jom kita ramai2 doakan dia sial. Satu kali bagi dia rasa apa itu sial yang dia sumpah2kan tu…
Rotiboy,kau tersilap tu,yg kau nampak tu muka kau kat cermin,muka sial kau yg mencuit hati kau,wahaha…
imagine that thumbs down you get are like curses from readers, like prayers
then you get accidents or bad lucks
it’s not proton which brings the bad lucks
it’s YOUR ATTITUDE
don’t blame others
x jd nk makan roti pagi ni. Rotiboy mmg sial!
if Waja replacement, will be RM60K
if higher than Inspira…RM80K
If Persona replace at RM50K
Maybe its Civic/Altis challenge at RM110K..(wait, Sylphy at that price too)
interested to see where they put the price..guess RM60K range.
but…Polo OEM to be Saga means what kind of future of Protong now? rebrand?
Proton is not national car maker anymore. Its belong to DRB, so, hoping for an open market is high.Let them compete even without gomen protection
It was never a national car, it was always parked under a crony for someone else.
if proton are to compete in open market..sure die 9 9 ..lol
Don’t go that far yet, clean your acts here locally, after sales should follow those of Japanese at least first and shed the ‘tidak apart’ attitude or the ‘lebih kurang’ assumption. Why do car buyers stay away from them when the very chance they get? Those days it is no choice people’s car and they with that all service people think they are high and mighty that you cannot get any other car besides proton, do you either service here or you don’t at all. Then local mechanics also take advantage of the spill over that people wait so long for the number and also leave car at least 1 day.
65k-75k..reported early.
To replace Persona, it needs to start below 50k (base model) to 60k for non-turbo 1.6, maintaining current customer.
For CFE with all bells and whistles, it needs to be below Exora or base model of Vios, so perhaps 70k.
Proton need to realise that its brand image is not good, even negative due to previous quality/durability issues, and cannot command Vios price position, no matter what little feature Vios offers, if it wants to overthrow the leader in 70-80k price segment.
Malaysians buy car for transport & brand image. Today, there are many choices in the 70k price segment. There’s the strong Korean and entry Japanese, hatch and sedan.
This is the car to build Proton brand image, not the one to pretend its image is good and competitive…do not promise, fulfil it first.
yup, they were so confidence in the Inspira ends up..
now a so-called Continental Protong?! part it at Vios/City range, and see how is winning.
The Protong price range wins at RM60K and below.
Inspira is a joke. Look where they are now, how many Inspira you will find on the road?
all inspira sold out.
the didnt expect it to fight with the likes of T and H thats why it was a REBADGED mitsu and not developed fully by their own..
a lot..seriously a lot. tu belum kira inspira bodykit lancer/evo10 lagi
good job proton!
Rotiboy.. u r so unmatured.. lu la sial…
Nowadays..proton have an excellent work.do do that!!!
Are the wheel arches eating into the rear boot space? Looks like it in the video.
that’s the disadvantage of using multilink suspension..
Well, on the video it’s a pride they should have done some finesse withdrawing the cloth cover of the car rather than a dude as if playing tug of war, do something like automatic pull with finesse in revealing the car.
Looks like they might have drl, judging from the headlamps but obviously no HiD, and something about proton with their engine covers, again it is a pride they could have at least come out with a more sweet engine cover. Like models before looks like as long there is an engine cover will do, details proton! Do look at it, as these are small points that will make big impact in years to come.
Anyway well done on bringing rice induction to the market.
Proton has dabbled with proper bi-xenons before, with the CPS Waja. If it comes with LED DRLs, it should at least have xenon headlights first.
xenon lights are no longer expensive stuff and judging from the purchase as a car manufacturer, they can easily install them as OE. but no idea why still halogen? at least minimum xenon lights, it is so comfortable driving at night, minus out those retrofit by myvi, vios, city and etc, no offence but these people are the main cause that the public shoot down xenon lights.
Bi-xenon headlamps may not be the preserve of high-end manufacturers anymore, but they still aren’t cheap. Don’t forget, HIDs and halogens have completely different requirements. HIDs have to be angled lower down to minimise the glare directed to oncoming cars. In addition, international regulations require the use of lens washers and active self-leveling systems. Hence, bi-xenon headlamp housings are almost always different in design compared to their halogen counterparts and usually contain more parts.
People have to stop retrofitting HID bulbs onto standard headlamps designed for halogens. They don’t think they pose such a danger to other motorists, but they don’t realise they blind and distract every other driver they come across as soon as they turn on their lights.
Its going to be a good car. But I don’t like the front lamp. More prefer Tuah headlamps
looking forward…
yeah, the boot space look huge!
I guess those features they’ve shown are for the Premium models, definitely
nama pun rotiboy……budak2
Bodohnye rotiboy ni..haha..
Anyway..rase macam nk pegi booking je 14mac ni..
D.O.A………Dead on Arrival! Aku tengok dalam video tu depa tutup kereta sial itu macam orang tutup jenazah dengan kain kapan.
Lagi 40 hari depa akan buat kenduri arwah. Masa tu kau pergilah.
rotiboy.. if u don’t like this car.. don’t mind about it la boy.. ko xsuka, blah la.. semak je la ko kt sini. if people buy it, ko nak sibuk marah2, kondem2 org yg beli tu ke ape? it’s their own money, not yours.. ko pegi la beli n komen kt kereta yg memuaskn hati ko tu.. rimas!!
silap2 kenduri arwah untuk ko dalam masa 40 hari ni..amalan dah cukup?
U like myvi so much???? Bet u never drive the old peugeot 405 and bmw e34… Myvi is a mom car… Even old toyota se is better… AD Resort and u11 is 3 time better…. Cannot even compare to the 15yr old car…. Super normal… Extremely not superb…
agreed bro ,,
love Myvi ? there lot of accidents because that car cannot handle the corner ..
90kmh++ stereng already goyang,,
hey ROTIBOY , what car u drive now ? let us comment on your car that u chose n bought…
dont tell me u only ride kapchai .,,
anyway..what make you so anti-p1…is it bcoz once was your granpa company… 1 more thing..what car r u driving now..is ferrari, lamborghini or other million dollar car… if u believe in sial then the SIAL will befall on u….beware..
Why do so many cars fail on the shift console design? Arrrrrgggghhhh …
so what?
205 NM of torque for 1.6L engine?
That one is for the CFE engine only … for entry to middle variant only using 1.6 CPS + CVT if not mistaken. the 205Nm of torque is what u get when a 1.6 engine is fitted with turbo … but i heard the turbo rating doesn’t go above 1.5bar … correct me if i am wrong …
since it called ‘light turbo’ anyway. i believe it could reach higher torque, just that they make it 205nm to stay beneath CVT3 torque limit (220nm)
O.6 bar usually for low pressure, have to think of all the others parts that is connected and their duranility. Since they are giving 3 year warranty I’m which I would assume the minimum they have to ensure anything like boost that goes beyond the durability of the other parts would be suicidal and can you imagine just 10% of cars coming back for warranty claims?
Anyway when it hits the street, there will be plenty more drivers and mechanics will play F1 and do awesome mod with them. People will start selling high pressure kits, those car crazy people aka ‘ah beng’ will try to do wonders to ensure their economy priced car can go head on with those tsi or k series engine.
And yea, the gearbox will break after boost with high pressure. :) sweet stuff right! Warranty void. lol…
The whole car is only the LED lights looks a bit ok…
any news for the 2012~2013 new Vios ,City and the VW Jetta GLI 2012?i love it !
Eh , banyaknye peminat kereta sial,…… tak sangka. Apasal, takde duit ke nak beli toyota?
apsal toyota?
toyota kereta murah la bai…
orang kaya beli BMW, Merc, hi-spec VW…
kahkahkah… perasan toyota kereta mahal la tu…
toyota bagi level dia ni hanyala avanza, vios, UNSER, Innova je…prrrtfhhhh
Sudah la kau … Di mulut kata sial, tapi dalam otak, senyap senyap je nak plan beli satu sebenarnya … hipokrit cam kau ni senang sangat nak kenal …
rotiboy, apsal ko suka mencarut ni??? tolong la guna bahasa elok2. ko bagi org lain rasa x senang, marah, meluat.. free2 ko dapat dosa. suka ke dapat dosa???
Lol.. Aku ingat dia ni drive lambo… Sembang kemain kencang…
Kereta toyota untuk aunty aunty jer la… kamu aunty ke??
LOL ,, so u drive LFA or just VIOS ? …
Orang yang baca topic ni semuanya nak tahu dan suka akan Proton termasuk la kau.
Takkan baca blog pasal proton beli kereta Toyolta.
toyota!?…damn u cheap..
can’t wait to chase the tail of this car on PLUS highway! :D wuhooo..
At this point, we can see there are some hit and miss with this car, the hit should be the power train and that steering mounted gear shift, the miss should be the design especially the interior and the tail lamp…
To be fair to proton, Im sure they have put in a lot of thought and effort into the car and we should wait until the official launch…but if I were to buy it, I will wait for around 6 months to make sure there’s no reliability or mechanical or electronic issue..
overall okay, but my do not like tail light ..!!
if the car is from 60k to 70k price ranges, then it would not be called affordable car for the rakyat anymore
Ask yourself: based on your salary and the standard of living, how many years you need to pay for bank loan? I think we are getting hutang more and more by the day……
We live in Malaysia … deal with it … if you think that it is unfair that the rich get richer and the poor gets poorer, then good luck in trying to find an Utopian country … even if you live in America, things are not all roses and peaches … For Proton to move on, they have to start introducing more things into the cars. More things = increase in selling price. if you feel that it is too expensive for a national car, then by all means, go ahead and buy yourself a Toyota or a Honda. It’s a free country anyway.
There is a group call not rich yet not poor. They are being forced into the poor section unwillingly due to corruption and whatsoever not.
Deal with it? Yea right!
For Proton, they need to get rid of those corrupted suppliers where by they supply 3rd class parts with 1st class price. You deal with it. :)
SagaqUsr …. i think you are talking with your pea brain here.
Well no where in the world is a bed of roses but better than here in Malaysia,no need to go sofar, Singapore is good enough if one works hard ok.
For Proton to move on, it should just become an assembly line for the real car makers, it has far too long being helmed by not the brightest available to manage unlike Singapore. That’s why you see they are far ahead in everything ….. what’s the point of being a national car that is more expensive apart from the tax imposed which makes it affordable.
Do you plant vegatables just because you want to eat vegetables or rear a cow for its beef and milk ? We do what we do best and buy from others. simple economics unless you are one of the cronies who happen to work in proton ! or being a moron … hahah
CCLV …. i think you are talking with your pea brain here.
We are proud of producing our local car
Do you plant vegatables just because you want to eat vegetables or rear a cow for its beef and milk ? (What kind pf proverb is this? )
We do what we do best and buy from others. simple economics unless you are one of the cronies who happen to work in Singapore ! or being a moron … hahah
Proud to produce a car with making a lost? all rakyat money funding? You probably do not understand or know how and where the G money comes from or think G print $$ thats why got money.
this is the delima of the country…and until people realized the economy fundamental of that, the public fund will be wasted to the cronies pocket rather then helping the poor, and making a industries that really help people.
It is better to capitalise on industries which are synergistic with our natural advantages. Look at New Zealand. They did not bother with steel or cars because their climate allows them to raise superior dairy cows and ships. We have a natural advantage in our warm, humid and rarely disaster like climate. Why not capitalise on them by providing incentives like that which are given to Proton to make our country an agriculture powerhouse. However, I feel that the Mats who are in control of our national policies will never give agriculture the status it deserves in Malaysia for 95% of them come from a Malay culture which was never agrarian save for some padi fields.
this is NOT a free country. Its a country more national resources diverse to Cronies pocket, and yet they cannot sustain the business and squeezing every ounce out from the Rakyat.
1) National Car Protong making a lost
2) National Flight MAS making a lost
3) National Electric TNB making a lost
4) National Cow NFC making a lost
5) Nation Port PKFZ making a HUGE lost
And you know who wins?
1) Protong parts supplier
2) MAS meal supplier
3) This is famous, those IPP suppliers!
4) Now we all know those sub-con to own subsi of families, A-Z own familes.
5) All the MCAs.
This is day light robbing that monopolized resources for Cronies are the obvious reason this country sinking.
to be fair..u should also highlight the GLCs that are making bilions…sime darby and petronas to name a few…and please dont just pluck unconfirmed facts from the sky..TNB is in loss due to the shortage of gas supply by petronas which force them to use diesel which cost them more to produce the same amount of energy…read more please..stop reading those pembangkang blogs too often..its bad for your brain…
Sime?? helo? the overspend African project? where was the ex-CEO few years ago?
If Petronas making a lost, MY gone case already, who nation lived in Petronas for yearssssss…..thats the problem.
old man like me read newspaper more. the above information is all published in newspaper.
WOI ROTIBOY!!! KO NI BAPAK SURUH MKN UBAT KO LARI.. NI KO DAH MENCARUT2 KAT SINI.. WAT MALU KUTURUNAN JER KO NIH..
SIALAN LHO..
MAAP YE SEMUA….
HIDUP PROTON..
the more i see it, the more i like it !
50k will be good…
Agree…like2x..
Hmm… can’t wait to see it at showroom. It’s look promising.
Proton really spent alot? of efforts on this particular car ………. I think it will be a good car *finger cross*
Seems like Proton obtain the know-how in making p3-21a’s body structure from mitsubishi lancer. Lancer’s RISE construction become proton’s RESS structure. How identical are these 2 is still unknown to me, =D
I feel like the car looks very ’70s. Could it be that it is designed by an old man….for example , Tun Mahathir? He has got a lot of free time nowadays.
but u have to realise there are old peoples in this country ,
dont suprise if your dad or grandpa bought this car … hahaha
agree with that…in my place, there a pakcik who drive camry, and live in 2 story semi-d house, and work as selling some Islam stuff, e.g. barang2 untuk p umrah/haji, al-Quran…stufff like that…
Paddle shift..
Push Start button..
so far so good…
hope the Fuel Consumption is good to..oil price is now usd100 per barrel @ u.s.
sooner or letter it will effect Malaysia to..
For sure the FC is not so good since this is turbo engine. you may see the FC figure in Exora Bold Premium. I believed P321A use the same engine with this Exora.
But the FC is acceptable is consider with the power n torque that received.
if theres a jv between proton and vw, hope they can stick a dsg in it. Plus, i’ve heard that no manual if you buy the cfe version. only in cps. can someone explain why?
VW will not ‘surrender’ the DSG to product..that is called product alignment process…
Yeah, I want this car.
Dont buy first batch, dont ask me why? it is a proton tradition,
sean, even generation after generations, the car do comes with defect parts which the manufacturers recall it even after 10 years…. that’s include T, H, M, A, V…..
surprisingly, even toyota went thru the biggest recall scandal in their history recently in the US…
From the first teasing, I hoped that they ditched the way they put the cat logo especially at front grill… As far as my opinion is, that’s quite an outdated way of putting logos. I observe that most brand have placed their logos on the hood eg Kia,Toyota, Ford as well as established brand like BMW. No more flashy chrome decoration with co logo please! Just a brief and clear one. Or else, make it a big one like VW, Audi or Merc in the middle of the grill.
i’m sorry, but then, proton will lost its signature right? because for me, the grill and athe chrome wings are the proton signature. correct me if i mistaken about this.
cheers
u can have all kind of gadgets..but please assure basic reliability…and also FC…thats very important…1.90 of petrol is not cheap….
cheerss….
Sorry but the design of rear and front lamps seem that this car come from the 90’s era. Tuah concept looks better.
Agree… Tuah looks superb… but this one look just “OK”… Not attractive enough… Need aftermarket modi….
sometimes, design isnt everything…
this is people’s car , so need to understand people’s need …
maybe the concept design cost is higher and not reliable,,
design maybe abit old not too eye-catchy, but u have to realise there are old peoples in this country ,
i’m ok with the design as long as it is reliable n with good quality. For me, VW golf/ polo design also is very simple n nothing special.
The special is, it is very expensive, like Louis Vuitton the hand bag materials are the same as Braun Buffel and any other leather handbag, but why there are people paying to keep Louis Vuitton boutique in business? They looking for prestige pleasure like owning a BMW, Mercedes, Audi, Lexus, Volkswagon, Porsche, or Ferrari.
i like it, but still waiting EV, Hibrid or anything less fuel consumption from proton… like EMAS
rear lamp looks so european.. reminds me various of BMW models..
sapa yg just expose to 2nd class japs car wont appreciate it
yaya, the new “Asia’s answer to BMW”. hahahah
Im talking about rear lamp design meh.. Those who never exposed to bmw n euro car may feel the rear lamp design is weird…
Those that exposed to BMW and euro do not even want to look at this car.
No wonder myvi not laku in asean n overseas.. Maybe they exposed to many other japs car
Prffthhhh
The thing is that non of Proton cars can match Myvi sales. Overseas and locally.
Kita banyak designer dan engineer yang bagus bagus tapi disebabkan sistem rasuah dan kronisme menyebabkan orang yang berbakat tak diambil bekerje. Sistem selection pekerje yang tak transparent dan banyak lagi masalah politik dalaman.
Aku rase design kereta ni agak terkebelakang, takde perasaan syok macam dulu dulu aku kecik. Bila proton nak kuar kereta mesti aku tak sabar nak tengok dan naik model baru tu. Sekarang kalau dengar proton nak kuar kereta…. buat tak tau aje…
Tu la kalau kita nak buat sesuatu buatla yang terbaik dangan passion. Kalau just buat sebab nak siapkan kerje sahaja…ni la jadi nyer.
Bolehla bagi 3 star dari 5 tapi masih jauh lagi kalah nak bersaing peringkat antarabangsa.
Ni mesti kes nak apply kerja proton tak dapat. Lepas tu salahkan pemilihan pekerja proton
Proses dah takde ‘feeling’ bila Proton nak keluar model baru tu namanya proses penuaan. Dulu muda lagi, masih naif.
Cakap je buat tak tahu, tapi ni baru je keluar dekat blog dah ambik tahu apa hal.
maybe ko sorang antara segelintir yg dah ilang feeling tuh bro.. ramai gile aku rase still ada rse excited tu..
YANG EXCITED , TOLONG THUMB UP komen nih
Inilah perangai Proton nak berak baru gali lubang.
cool stuff! but i suppose we can expect a plethora of aftermarket rear light clusters…or at least for the ones on the tailgate…
Sad to see the rear part of the car looking so cheap and design by proton monkeys, lack of a better word to find for those idiots !!!!
If they price the car between RM50k to RM60K, then they still might get some loyal and people who are stuck between that budget to by this car but if its anything higher…..PROTON CAN CLOSE ITS SHOPS…… RAKYAT, don’t waste money if its price higher that RM60K, got get Perodua, or Other car’s in the market, sure they cost more, buy look at the long terms, resale value and quality will go a long way compared to this one more crap junk from Proton !!!!!
perodua salesman…prrrtfhhh
never exposed to conti market.. he only knows, perodua and ASEAN japs car..
prrrtfhhh
I dont like Produa at all. All model are klon…. I proud to buy Proton even some people try to look down on it. Maybee after 50 years they can share world market.
sure, all perodua car copy dari toyota& daihatsu. Myvi baru tu kereta model daihatsu yg dah lama kat japan.
rubbish DK BOSS
agree with peYno
He ask ppl to buy his perodua fir old tech 4AT, dumped old engine , no rear disc brake abd tin milo body for 60k over price??
Well salesman dont care about ppl safety as long they can sale the car
hahhahaha are you reallly sure??? Perodua cars only look good outside but milotin inside… They (Perodua) don’t even put any effort in making their cars where as Proton really put much effort in their cars… i was once an anti Proton person until i sat and test drove the Persona… But i must say, design wise, Perodua is better but when it comes to built quality, Proton tops it all…
PS: you can just knock knock the car bonet or press press the door panels and make your judgment on the car’s built and so on, you gotta drive it, feel it…
Myself own a persona and I can say im very satisfy with it. This new car the interior is so so only but if the selling price is RM60k above then its very expensive!!!! Suppose local car is cheaper, if own citizens cannot afford then dont called local car
Quality of the car can’t be judged by knocking the door , car bonet. Common sense please
yea, its fair to say i dont feel safe at all sitting and driving the “LagiBest”. Its steering doesnt give good feedback, car feels very light and just like bw says, go press the door panels and feel for yourself…
Looks good from proton. But i guess its still another proton. But should be better to drive than forte or whatever korean crap.
proton needs to improve else will kaput . They are trying hard now .
However their quality , relaibility , efficiency etc… still very in doubt.
Dont just always be a cosmetic surgeon … improve your quality pls .
You have wasted too much time and wasted lot of resources . Wake up !
I really hope the rear cluster lamps are all use up as oppose to the present Persona and Waja which they have have not fully utilize.
i told u most proton basher just a perodua owner and salesman who cant afford real japanese car.. and tot buying perodua like buying real japs car
peyno
Real JDM ownwer
prrrtfhh

yo, sudah jual proton beli Vios?
wait…..JDM…….maksud nya kereta lama dari jepun???
JDM tu, sport car lama la……rx7 rm40k itu?
You don’t even know what JDM stands for.. try to act smart yet sounds so dumb.. go google what JDM is and how people can still import latest JDM cars.. and come back if you dare call me wrong for calling you dumb.. dumbo..
alamak bro. lu sudah bikin malu diri lu sendiri beb. nak gi perang pastikan peluru cukup dulu.
JDM = japanese domestic market.
mana dtg cerita pasal kereta jepun lama dlm frasa tu? isk.. kemaluan besar beb. free2 je ko angkat bola tanggung..
kahkahkah…
ni la akibatnya rase bagus sgt… mengata orang tapi xde ilmu… simple acronym mcm JDM pun tak tau maksud…
Malu seh….
I hope Proton applies cfe engine to other model, especially satria neo..plzzz
In fact ,the Tuah concept car outlook is more attractive.Just mod abit is o.k already.
I don’t know why protong changed so many things.
P321A look so cheap and ugly now.
There is different between concept and real production. There can do exactly like TUAH but the manufacturing cost is problem for them to control the car price with price range.
That why u can see a lot other brand concept and real production also have a lot different.
I don’t like Proton cars. I don’t like Proton sales advisors because they are arrogant. I don’t drive Proton. I only drive Honda The Power Of Dreams. Proton is a true blue ‘jaguh kampung’!
Haha Honda…….they are always covered in flood water
Ops correction. 2nd Hand Honda The Power Of Dreams.
hate proton salesman..haha very true
Proton should get Peter Schreyer touch!!
And what’s so special about this Peter? So overrated. For what purpose? So Proton cars will resemble Kia’s more? Then what? People will buy Proton because they look a lot like Kia? That’s the determining factor? Really?
jacketpotato, you are a fool. Because of Peter Schreyer who is the chief designer in KIA, KIA in a worlwide brand image. we need ppl like him to produce desirable car’s like KIA. not a copy of KIA. having said that, good effort proton though this car is certainly not a looker.
Of course I know who he is smart@ss. I was replying to the person who wants that particular Peter. & you can’t sense sarcasm? I wonder who’s the fool one here. Peter himself and people like him are two different people. Do you think I don’t know that?
You are replying to me. There’s no need to be redundant by typing who you are replying to. FOOL.
Bro due to some reasons and rules …… it cant be done la !!!!!
Some cues that I’ve managed to catch in the video:
1. The is a slight misalignment of the fitment of the rear lights (on the boot & body). QC issues? Hopefully only on the display car only.
2. On the fan aircon power knob, there’s ‘Auto’ mode. Auto-climate control??
3. The audio buttons on the steering wheel look much better than current protons.
4. The diameter of the instrument panels (RPM & km/h) are small to allocate the multi-info display in between.
5. The inside door handle is silver-colored (like Persona).. instead of chrome :(
compartment belakang susah sikit nak masuk barang..ada alur besi lengkung macam variant saga..kenapa tak buat seperti yang ada kat Persona?
mesti akan ada facelift atau revision keatas design kereta neh dalam masa terdekat, CVT gearbox mesti dari PUNCH Powertrain punya
normal_user
instead of using chrome door handle.. proton used other material (don’t remember what is but I think is magnesium)..
shaoran
sebabkan but belakang ade rear fog lamp (regulation europe) so trpaksa ada wiring kt situ…dats why trpaksa guna sistem mcm saga instead of persona.. tp proton pn sediakan ruangan but sebesar 508 liter…
** kereta ni bakal terjual di 28 buah negara.. bkn senang proton nk puaskn hati semua pihak & yang paling pelik adalah pengguna drpd MALAYSIA sebab banyak karenah yg x tntu pasal..
** design tail lamp bg kita mmg nmpak outdated sbb dah banyak kena racun dgn design tail lamp dr kereta conti dr pngeluar lain.. tp utk pasaran global sy rasa, design ni dpt diterima dgn baik..
P/S: SAYA BUKAN ORG PROTON TETAPI SEORANG YG SENTIASA MENGIKUT PERKEMBANGAN PROTON..
Hope they ditch that CVT gearbox under DRB. Really the only thing to hate about the P321A is the CVT. Put a proper 6 speeders like those from Aisin inside. Can boost torque to 300Nm and 200bhp……….fun
To be fair to everyone wait until fortnight. Pricing is important here. RM80,000 is big no no even for top model. This P3-21A will set new benchmark for this ASEAN brand. RM75,000 is the most expensive Proton can charge for this C-segment.
Having said that, if this P3-21A also fail, DRB’s company should lose the national status.
i love this car,,,my bf want to buy it and we hv been thinking what’s the best kamasutra step in this car
haha…..
what the????…
if u want kamasutra steps, go buy an Alphard. So many seat configurations can deploy lot of techniques some more. hahaha.
kalau kereta ni kuar,jgn lupa iklan di RARE.!Sumber iklan terbaik untuk semua
i have the car pix.who do i give it too
me!!!
Well Proton… Malaysian consumers are hard to please, ya… but I am pleased enough and InsyaAllah, I will get one… if the reported price is true, goodlah…
Yup, there are better cars out there, which I can afford actually… but somehow I will put my faith again in Proton this time… :) What more this time around the spec list is quite impressive I must say, waaaayyy better than some other makes.
Most importantly to me that Proton is a decent car that won’t burnt a big hole to my pocket… dun want to pakai kereta mahal-mahal tapi tiap-tiap bulan merana… hehehe :P… besides the same amount of money is better to be spent of towards family, savings etc… etc….
Cheers guys… if you are happy with your choice of ride, then that car is the best (at least for you), juz ignore whatever other ppl say, your money, your life… :) :D
I find Proton one of the most confusing car company on Earth. I mean they get into bed with Mistu (good move) then buy Lotus (Bad move) then do project with the French……then try to sell Lotus then get back into bed with Mistu, rebadge the Lancer……then for no reson i can see reskin the Lancer……WHY?????……..now it looks like VW is getting into bed.
There is no clear plan for Proton, its sort of make it up as they go sort of thing…….sub by Goverment.
As for this?……….well not bad but they need a Hatchback & low CO2 engine for Europe (if they wish to export)
mind you sir that this P3 is not a reskin of the Lancer (btw the rebadge Lancer aka Inspira is the only affair they had with MMC since the Waja/Impian inception in 2000).. actually it was based on the P6 aka Exora mpv platform.. it was developed with aid from top european consultants ie ItalDesign & MagnaSteyr..
VW had eyed for Proton since many years ago.. only now they had the closest chance ever in sealing the deal thanks to Proton’s new owner DRB who is currently VW’s local partner in assembling their CKDs for ASEAN region..
heard that hatchback version codename P3-22A is currently in development with Lotus.. will be out in next 2-3 yrs.. and the CFE engine is reported to be euro5 compliant..
p3-22a will come to the market next year bro…proton already setup the production line which share with the p3-21a….the design cues were like the mazda 3 hatch…i heard also the prototype already in development…hope during the 2nd Quarter of 2012 we will see the car running test on malaysian roads….
proton you cant even sale 200k unit per year, how do you expect to achieve sustainability by selling this car @ 55k to 65k for the next five years???? and i suggest some reality check. who is your target customer for this P3-21A ?
1.fresh graduate?? Bank negara dont think so.
2.perodua Lagi Best current and future owner? change their mindset first!
3.repeated proton owner?? totally depend on owner previous experience
4.trade-in old proton model??-still lock from 9 years instalment and low value
5.pull new owners from japan+korean+conti makes???may be for second/wife/kid
6.current saga 1.6 FLX CVT owners??-not so soon i guess
7.1.4 million Government official who got 13% pay rise?? definitely yes!! stretch your credit facility to maximum like they always do i guess.
Boot.. better use like Persona.
For this type of boot, u have to adjust your luggage before u close
Make this affordable for us plz. 1.6 CFE + CVT at 65K is the best price i can imagine for every malaysians. Higher than that wouldn’t be good.
let mark gordon comment first…
By launching this model,is it Pesona model going to be discon??
Oh no…Persona is a nice car with great design, should remains!
He He He Exactly the same thing happen when Waja was first promoted…Asian BMW 3-series…
Folks rushing pushing jumping to get their Waja as soonest only later to curse it until 400-500 pages forum thread at autoworld HA HA HA
Go ahead fools keep on buying Protongkat! Never learn your lesson aren’t you!
Anyway, glad to see again and again Dilbert theory proven:
“How do you sell a bad product?”
“Sell it to stupid people!”
Also another theory proven Einstein lah:
“Insanity: Doing the same thing only to expect different result!”
Dear perodua salesman
This Rearlamp design is norm for european as we can see the similarity on bmw rearlamp n other european cars… But fir malayaian who only expose to 2nd class jpas car like vios n city rearlamp definatelty wint like this p321a reaelamp design
hi no need to copy paste your comments on all threads
it’s annoying
so… if ppl call you stupid… you keep being stupid?
never try to change the perception?
proton put the effort to change… and you just keep yourself blind by picking on waja problem continuously… so, who’s not learning?
well said bro
they ask proton to change and up to date… but they never change and keep talking pasal old story WAja
PITY THEM
One more fairtale mythbuster need to be broken:
Why CFE claimed as fuel efficient but drunk on petrol more than normal CPS???
He He He Or CFE stands for “Crappy Fuel Efficiency”???
Or indeed Campro simply sucks hard no amount of tech can make it better fuel efficient…VW dump TSI also still crappy…
Wonder why 10 yr old Toyota VVTI engine anytime better than Campro…not to mention dual-VVTI with CVT….
P/s.
Buyers should demand LifeTime Warranty for the CFE turbo unit…sekadar untuk insuran sahaja mana tau kan…He He He
I thnk Rotiboy can’t afford proton..x ckup duit..tepaksala pakai kreta 5th hand.
i see proton basher is getting more & more desperate..
their comments are getting more & more stupid..
&..
u’ll see some of them will pass through my comment & try to click thumbdown… :p
hhhhmmm….Rear break light still uses single bulb why is proton going back ward. They use LED on their Persona and Saga. …..looks like Old 1995 SAGA rear light la….Correct me if i am wrong….
i think the single bulb u mentioned here refers to the rear fog lamp located on the tail gate/boot lid.. i believe the LED is located on the tail light above the signal/reverse light..
The car in Video looks stunning and with the snapshots of the shifters and Steering Wheel.The car is a global car indeed design wise although not yet fully unveiled but seems this is WAJA 2nd Gen1 or Inspira Proton\Lotus style.Good Job!
Weh kamon lah.its okay.dnt worry everyone.no fight fight one la.hehe.okay lets get thing stright here.proton is an oke oke car.not as bad as perodua.but come on until when malaysians have to suffer the 300% tax for imported cars?kalau local car solid solid mmg best lah tapi quality tak caya lah.even proton wira released kat uk ade airbag.ohhhhh so its seems proton cared more about british people more than their malaysians?stop it plis proton.buat kete elok skit lah!profit pun dah banyak.
Now, first of all PROTON took the initiative to produce a global standard car, as a Malaysian, we must appreciate the effort taken. Therefore, what I can say is that if this car has excellent QC, then it would be a hard fight with other brands such as Honda, Toyota, Hyundai, Perodua & etc….IF it has very low QC like previous models, then I would say it’s just a waste of effort PROTON…..any how, let us all wait this Wednesday for its Grand Opening, and I hope Paul Tan may cover it…. TC :) !
u r so kind.
after so many years, one model after another that claim to have better quality but just full of disappointment.
like the saying.. if don’t have such big head, don’t wear a big hat.
one may argue the gov still could impose higher tax even without p1, but for sure now is all bcos of p1 protection that cause most malaysian suffer from 7-9 yrs loan and cannot enjoy a better car.
Guys,
Dont simply comment on CFE without driving it. Lets hear feedback form P. Exora CFE engine owners first on its performence.
It all depends on Your point of view, you may be right but not 100%. Each sees a different part, like the blind men patting an elephant.
proton basher= other brand salesman n perodua owner??
they are pretending… SAY NO TO NAP ( national auto policy),.. boycott national car becoz of national car (perodua n proton) thy cant afford import car.. but at the same time promoting ppl to buy perodua…???
prrrtfhhhhh
kereta proton mula2 standard kuar kilang tak cun sangat..macam saga..minor modification, tukar rim, tambah skirting n spoiler baru cun..ok what..Malaysia kan ramai kaki mod.
like the music though
I wish since this being a “Global car” on all, It would have lower interest rates… dun really mind the design. Globar car is a car you market globally. So, import or not, shouldn’t make a difference.
and also
Do you know how much is a City without tax? Yes, ~55K only. The next city/vios would most probably be placed at the the same price but with the latest tech like p321a.. Most likely. (not a fan of T or H)
Now think abt it.. Wira and persona were always placed ~<60k but what's so great abt this car? What so special with the accessories? is it a new tech? Most cars will come with those accessories anyway or they will soon.
If you ask me, it should be priced 50-60k. Anyway, good job with the car Proton. Live long and prosper.
if u ask me…
sell the crap and used the $$$ to improve public transport.
keep the tax level to control vehicle and use the tax return on public transport.
the tax will never to reduce because banks “owning” too many cars with super high price…
I wish they could’ve put more effort into the first look. Colorful lights and spinning the car round in a dark room just seems tacky.
