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.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express anticipation for Proton's new GSC model, praising its design, safety features, and potential fuel efficiency. Many hope it can challenge Perodua Myvi's dominance, with some suggesting it may replace the Myvi among younger drivers. Concerns about delays, quality, and proton's reputation are also raised. Enthusiasm is mixed with skepticism about launch timelines, engine tech, and safety standards, but overall, there's a strong desire for Proton to succeed and uplift its brand image through this model.
