After a slow start to the year, Proton’s three-sedan launch plan is getting well underway. In June, the national carmaker unveiled the new Perdana after years of hype, speculation, spyshots and teasers. In less than 24 hours it will be the turn of the 2016 Proton Persona to take the spotlight when it is finally launched.
Although Proton’s flagship D-segment sedan was an impressive opening salvo, it’s this B-segment model that will slug it out in the heartland of the Malaysian market, so it’s a very important model for the company. We’ve seen spyshots, watched official teaser videos and even driven the car ourselves, but very soon you too will be able to see the Persona in full.
Our usual comprehensive launch report – complete with all the details and a full live gallery – will be present and accounted for just after the car is launched, but if you like, you can watch it being unveiled before your eyes, before anyone else, right from this website!
Yes, as with the launch of the Perdana, Iriz and Suprima S, paultan.org is proud to bring you exclusive live streaming coverage of the 2016 Proton Persona launch event, happening tomorrow from 11:45am onwards.
Be the first to see the new car inside and out and learn of all the details, specifications and equipment count for all variants – as long as your device’s browser supports YouTube streaming, you’ll be able to watch it anywhere. So see you tomorrow morning!
