Cameron Highlands is where the party’s at, it seems. After a debadged Daihatsu Ayla (widely expected to be a test mule for Perodua’s upcoming ‘new model’/Axia) was spotted at the hill station earlier this month, it’s now the Proton Global Small Car‘s turn to undergo tests there.
Admittedly, few locations are better – cool air, sweeping B-roads, big elevational changes and many opportunities for single-lane overtaking. Plus, who could resist a lovely spot of strawberries and tea afterwards?
Only last week we spotted a few GSCs in Kota Bharu, accompanied by a Volkswagen Polo TSI, Perodua Myvi, Honda Brio hatch and Ford Fiesta, possibly for benchmarking purposes.
We wondered at the time if the Polo was part of the tests, as it was the only one registered. Well, reader Chembo Addare, who very kindly shared these spyshots with us on Facebook, caught that very Polo here following a trade-plated Myvi. So that’s that, then.
We’ve showed you lots of spyshots (plus a spy video) of the GSC since November last year, both at home and abroad. We’ve seen the dashboard, touch-screen and head unit, as well as its tail lamps. We also know that LED DRLs and ESC will be available, and that a CVT is very likely.
See our Proton P2-30A Global Small Car infohub for our full coverage on Proton’s upcoming baby thus far.

Some express impatience over delays, while others compare it favorably to foreign models such as the Polo or Kia Rio. There is also skepticism about Proton’s safety and quality, yet a strong sense of national pride in a Malaysian-made vehicle. Discussions highlight the importance of affordability, safety (airbags, stability control), and export potential. Overall, sentiments are a mix of excitement, support, and cautious anticipation for the new model's launch and impact.
