Proton has posted a new product video about its latest car, the Proton Iriz, on its Facebook page, highlighting the new B-segment hatchback and its various features and equipment.
As we’ve pointed out in the past, the Iriz is very well-equipped – at least in its highest 1.6 Premium spec – in terms of convenience (auto headlights, LED daytime running lights, keyless entry, push button start), entertainment (6.2-inch touchscreen Android-based infotainment system) and safety (six airbags, standard-fit stability control), all of which the film showcases to full effect.
Proton is currently on a bit of a rise right now – it clawed its way back into second spot in the sales charts in May this year after slipping to fourth place in April. It sold 8,285 units, a 66.7% increase compared to the previous month; while it’s unsure how much of that can be attributed to the Iriz, it probably accounts for quite a bit – we’ve seen quite a number of them on the road in recent months.
So, dear readers, what do you think of this new video, and has the Proton Iriz met your expectations of a Perodua Myvi fighter so far?

this is way better ads than the suprima..spot on
Iriz better than myvi in so many ways
Yea, they used to say the same on Proton Savvy 10 years ago compared to Myvi. Good luck for the Iriz owner.
yeah, Iriz handles better also more safer than Myvi.
Its sound system way way way better that Myvi.
Myvi only win on the technical department.
The problems are also way more than Myvi
How to be global when you always compare only with Myvi?

Spot on… Proton has taken Malaysians for a ride for 30 years
You see Proton is actually a good concept. But when Mahathir created Proton, he made sure every single part of the Proton car is supplied by his crony buddies. Now Suzuki will be the same.
And these crony buddies overcharge Proton by ten times whilst giving poor and inferior parts. That is why your Proton always falls apart and everybody blames quality control. That is the reason also why Proton makes only RM500 per car that they sell. It is solely because of the crony vendors who are overcharging Proton. For example, per car Mat is sold to Proton for RM100 whilst you can buy the same car mat from brothers for RM10.
So, Mahathir can say all he wants about quality being raised and his sarcasm but until ALL Proton’s vendors are changed, how can the quality go up?
Mahathir won’t do this. All his buddies have got the contract to be vendors to Proton. Mahathir will just ensure that all the vendors for Proton remain the same. All his buddies and relatives, so why upset his relatives when he can continue his past misgivings?
Proton will still get the same low inferior quality parts it has been getting for the past 30 years and it will still be overcharged by 10 times for each part the vendors supply.
Malaysians have already suffered so much. For 30 years, 30 million people suffer so much. We struggle paying for our high car prices all because of one man’s dream of benefitting his buddies and friends. Until Proton changes ALL their vendors, Proton will be a loss making organisation because it produces super low quality cars due to its vendors supplying Proton Super low Quality parts.
This Suzuki scandal will be the same as Mitsubishi scandal. Until vendors change, tie up with Suzuki will be low in quality as previous Protons
Wow. Surprised to see people like you does exist now. The typical 3rd world kind of mentality, always try to bring up politics. People like you are actually the reason why we are not as good as sushi nowadays
Wake up and smell the coffee dude. It’s not about politics but there is some truth in what he/she says. Go ask a middle-management Proton staffer on how tough it was for DSZ to trim down the number of vendors that Proton source its parts from.
A lot has change no doubt and Proton can now source considerable parts from outside but still, there are a lot of restrictions in the name of supporting the local auto industry ecosystem. If Proton had it their way, I’m pretty sure they can go to Thailand where the Detroit of the East is to source for much cheaper and better quality parts.
The sooner Tun let’s go of his pipe dream and face the reality, the better the odds is for Proton to survive.
Agreed with some…disagreed with some…
if the car laku, people will know, no need to promote here and there. tak laku then want to die die promote, what is the point?
top LOL Potong
Bagus proton.. saya pasti beli.. terima kasih proton
More like Proton will take you for a ride when you complaint about your car.
Good car..but rear design???failed..
30 years of economics protection, this is what you can make ? a joker car ? HAHAHA. Go and see KIA and HYUNDAI, both around the same age as proton, and where they stand right now, in terms of quality, technology, and price. Pls, shut down proton, DR M, stop dreaming , PROTON WILL NEVER SUCCESS globally if you keep spoon feeding them.
Same age? haha..
“around the same age”? You do indeed have a wideeeee range for the term “around”.
Btw, part of the reason why Hyundai is so big now is because it has its own supply chain under the same umbrella. Hyundai Heavy Industry is a huge conglomerate. Too bad, don’t mention Proton, Malaysia, as a whole, just doesn’t have that kind of resources.
Iriz memang a decent car, and big big leap of local automotive brand, and highly comparable to Japanese car.
Just the gearbox spoilt the whole car.
Why is Proton reluctant to replace the ”MUCH CONDEMNED” Punch gearbox from China(alto Belgium in origin)? Paul Tan himself said it is noisy,vibrates too much.
Why is proton not sourcing from Aisin, a Japanese gear box world renowned supplier?
The answer is ….CRONYism IN the supply chain.Cronies marah.What about kickbacks? Sounds familiar?
Proton fanboys can khayal for another 10 years,DRB will still be doing compulsory national service cos of ailing stepson Lotus.Any sensible businessman would have sold off Lotus donkey years ago.Why are they spoonfeeding cancer stricken Lotus? CRONYISM .
Not quite. There are only so many gearbox manufacturer in the world. With the annual volume that proton is producing it is not feasible for them to supply proton, not to mentioned the development cost as well.
We have all been taken for a ride by Proton for past 30 years.
Been fooling us long enough in the name of national protection but actually is plundering our hard earned money.
So ya, you can say Proton is taking us for a ride
I think they should feature their cars in a movie, just like the Italian Job or Fast and Furious or some other movie like them. That will up the popularity of the car…
Proton is featured in NameWee’s movies.
Power window spoilt, air con too cold, battery died early.
And door handle fell off
Should let Clarkson review while he was in Top Gear
Not as good as the Perodua Axia feature video
looks like Darth Vader’s car to me. May the force be with you!
this video is acceptable to highlight its features but it get better if hiring more professional team as this video looks like low budget… anyways Iriz is still a awesome car!
i admit iriz is a realtively good car – now let it compete head-to-head with other B segment hatches on level ground ye?
calling Mazda 2, Fiesta, Kia Picanto, VW Polo, Chevrolet Sonic, Mitsubishi Mirage, Honda Jazz – all great cars!
Iriz use la suzuki engine then only can laku like goreng pisang panas.
Malaysia sells more Mercedes Benz C-Class compared to Proton Iriz.
It shows how good Iriz is.
i do get the feeling p1 is really proud of the iriz more than any other models they make ,maybe internally it was a do or die model , so they did actually spend considerable effort to make a genuine solid product..no hanky panky…slowly bt sure i see iriz(mostly the 1.3 ) filling up the car parks…
yup, i’ve started to hear good reviews from my circle.. well done p1. now go overseas.
the iriz is really a good car..the design is really good which distinguishes from the majority with european look..but while I test drove the car, the only drawback that i could see is its drivetrain, which really need to be rectified followed by noise insulation. other than that while you close the doors it’s still not smooth and makes a rough noise. If the following issues can be rectified it could be a all rounder that can easily defeat the ford fiesta.
think
REMEMBER WHAT NAJIB SAID… ITS ALL ABOUT PROXY.. TUN M PROXY… PROTON WILL BE THE SAME…
Alah… Tak laku la.. Jika laku, nape foreigh masih ade tax? Jika foreign cars takde tax, Proton and Perodua boleh tutup kedai. Tak erti malu… Hanya tau hisap duet rakyat.. Takde pendirian langsung.. Proven nasi lemak management!
from someone who never even look at proton as a desirable choice. i can say indeed exterior wise proton has improved drastically.. the iriz do really look quite nice if you ask me.. my argue would be about the interior. i have seen this car in roadshows and whatnot the interior still looks outdated and somewhat “empty”. interiorwise it still fails in that particular department for me la.. overall its quite good and i really think that this would be the so called myvi killer..
fugly rear design. butt look big but so small inside howcome?very not comfy inside.
stupid ads, why use mat saleh. Its can be better if local people like abdul rani kulop or karam sigh walia.
I bought an Iriz 1.3MT Standard 2 months ago. I realize it’s not fashionable to say things like this around here but I do have to say that the little beast exceeded all my expectations.
Smooth as silk and drives really well. The interior space is bigger than it looks. Really nice seats. Such a fun car to drive. No glaring flaws to report. I prefer manual cars so the CVT thing doesn’t affect me.
If you are looking for a cheapish hatchback, keep an open mind and test drive it. It might surprise you.
Still PUNCH gearbox issues not address, and is not going to happen though. Go for the manual model instead.
