[UPDATE : Proton has launched the 2007 Proton Waja facelift. Click here to view!]
Proton’s new Proton Waja powered by it’s S4PH Campro engine was launched yesterday. Among the enhancements over the Mitsubishi-powered Waja besides the engine are all-round leather seats, a new meter cluster, redesigned air-cond vents and a new double-DIN CD player with MP3 support.
The manual Waja Campro retails for RM59,888.20 while the automatic Waja Campro retails for RM63,888.76. The Mitsubishi-powered Waja automatic retails for RM63,588.
Both the Mitsubishi-powered Waja and the new Waja Campro will be offered for the moment but Proton hopes to gradually phase out the 4G18 Waja with the new Campro Waja.
There are a few differences with the engine behaviour of Mitsubishi’s 4G18 and Proton’s S4PH Campro, of which I’ve blogged in my previous post Waja 4G18 vs Waja Campro.
