Well, it’s all happening here at Bukit Jalil where the P3-21A is concerned. Aside from the car doing the handling prowess showcase earlier (the car will be doing the same run daily) there was a full teaser video on the car. We had the teaser video up earlier, but that was a short clip – here’s the full one.
You still don’t see the full vehicle, but lots of the hints and glimpses of elements, which includes folding side mirrors which auto unfold once the car gets to 5 km/h, speed-sensing auto door locks, a manual door lock button on the central console, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and follow-me home lights.
The first Proton with side airbags (which means it has four in total) will also feature a seven-speed Protronic gearbox with paddle shifters (presumably in the upmarket variant), an engine start/stop button, electronic brake force distribution and electronic stability control, among other things.
The tagline for the car is “Drive it to believe it” – guess you’ll be able to soon.

“a manual door lock button on the central console”
Location a bit weird… any particular reason??
It’s a good feature.
Example if my wife is nursing my 8 month old daughter on her lap, she can lock/ unlock the doors easily without the hassle of reaching the master lock (driver’s door side) when I’m going out to buy something or for toilet break.
the same feature in BMW also, it is very convenient for the passenger..:)
Are they going to name this car p321a ? If not why not naming the car with it’s real name. Probably somebody thinks this sound sophisticated but damn childish in my point opinion. And can proton change it’s stupid tiger logo ? Hire a proper designer and get an international logo please
Every proton launching I got so excited for no particular reason..
But when go showroom to see.. always disappointed.. .. mainly because crappy interior….
I suspect I will get disappointed also this time..but let see
Please go and see yourself at -1.33 and -1.28 . When the driver press the start/stop button, the whole dashboard plastic sink inside. BULLshoot Proton quality! Who is the vendor for this piece of plastic ?
Uhh I know. They will say it is to absorb the impact during collision.
The video editor pun satu madam. Benda madam ini janganlah letak dalam video promo !
well done….can’t wait to test drive to believe it myself….. :D
well done …..can’t to test drive to believe it myself
“can’t to test drive to believe it myself”??? what r u talking?
haha typo…refer to my earlier comment then
Long time waiting for this..Lots of goodies there.. more then i expected… but need to see wit my own eye.. sadly, kereta wa baru 3 thn, xboleh lego lagi la.. haih!
Its looks promising…..features at par with european standard…..to me its way better than what Produa is offering or even Toyota & Honda in our local market.
wow!!
Drive it to believe it?
No thanks.
Got duit don’t waste it.
Test drive need to pay ke?
after this model, proton had no more to offer. it will be a last model for proton.
good! I totally like your comment!
aku suka dgn proton.. tapi SA proton byk yg berlagak.. dari zaman gen 2 sehingga persona keluar, bila minta test drive mesti diaorg xlayan.. mcmana nak ‘to believe it’..
patut belajar dgn volkswagen..2 minggu lepas singgah di volkswagen showroom.. mula-mula sampai di pintu kedai, apa yg SA volkswagen buat adalah terus keluarkan kunci kereta tanpa diminta..start enjin golf tsi..dan offer untuk test drive..
never encountered such problems before… test driven Inspira & Exora Bold without much hassle.. I guess not all SA are like that
sa mana tu? aku pergi sa proton waktu senja pun diorg layan. offer aku test drive lagi
Is it? I have bad xperience with volkswagen in jln anpang. I went there in one weekend with my kid. Wear tshirt and short pants. The sales advisor did not bother to entertain us not even a single greeting from them. At that time there was only 2 customers including myself and 3 sales advisor on duty. Thats why i dont even bother to buy vw or go to their showroom. Unlike merc & bmw i got treated & welcomed well even if i wear tshirt and short pants.
To sales advisor/salesman – Dont judge a book by its cover. I may only wear tshirt & short pants (on weekends) but i got more money than you think…….
Fyi, i got 2 merc, 2 bmw, 1 porsche & 1 proton in my stable….
add this p3 you’ll love it more than your other cars
anthony n everyone at paultan..please comment on its 0-100kmh sprint once u get to review. thanks! :)
Dont have so high expectations on this model. As usual proton will say blah blah but at the end the quality standard is so low and cheapskate. After 20 years in the industry they are still behind the koreans and the chinese are fast catching up give them another 2 years and proton can only sell their cars locally with nap protection.
Proton just cannot sell the volume to have economies of scale to be a global producers to proton management just face the facts better off just sell the manufacturing off while its still valuable once the major producers set up their base somewhere else then tnajung malim will be a white elephant.
We’ve heard so many comment like what you have commented……I think this has made proton come this far to fullfill their customers comment and request, but my only question is what if proton are able to fullfill all your above request, comment, complaint and etc, will you buy proton (in this case p3-21a)?
To all readers here who bashed Proton, I believe your time of in-mature Proton bashing is over. Proton has impressed big time here and I believe this is the best car money can buy for now. The Japs and the Korean are nowhere close to this awesome new Proton model. Unless the Japs and Korean can response positively to reward their loyal Malaysian slaves to their brand with high spec car with reasonable price soon, it makes the Japs and Korean cars crappies a mere ‘kereta lembu’, just looks good on the outside and empty with no soul in the inside, just like a prostitute. So to all those Japs and Korean slave car owners here, sweet dreams. You’ll never beat the performance of this P3-1A. Rest in Peace!
Syabas Proton. I just booked one and am paying full in cash!!!
Perhaps you should change your name from ninja to Silat lagenda….hhehe basher will be basher they won’t surrender until gov remove the protection or to see proton die of.
Really?
sure its same like previous proton launching….tin milo…lol
5 stars ncap , still milo? nahhhhh
5 stars ncap , still tin milo? nahhhhh
sure worth to buy
Anyone still remember the Waja which is supposed to be Asia’s answer to BMW?
If you and your family engaged in the business of the noodle stall, even if the noodles are not good compare with others, I think what would you tell people that quality still acceptable right?
That mini heart attack at 1:47…
