Another sighting of the upcoming Proton Prevé hatchback, or P3-22A. This time we get to see the front, albeit not head-on. Like the back end, the front is masked, but we can see what appears to be a small grille opening instead of the full-length one on the sedan. Would this mean a revised front end for the hatchback, or is it merely a form of camouflage?
Other details that are apparent include what seems to be xenon headlamps and a new wheel design with seven spokes (sedan‘s standard wheels have 10 spokes). The wheels look bigger than the sedan’s 16s too, which wouldn’t be surprising since the hatchback’s meant to be the sportier of the two.
At the Thai and Australian launches of the Prevé, Proton said that we can expect the hatchback variant to debut sometime next year. Meanwhile, you can check out another spyshot here, or Theophilus Chin‘s rendering here.
As always, more info and sightings will pour in as time goes by, so watch this space. Cheers to reader Colin Chia for these shots. Keep ’em coming!
