Spotted, a Proton Waja facelift undergoing road tests. We have a new alloy rim design, and new tail lights. Photo sent in by reader Daniel.
UPDATE: More details and photos of the new facelifted Proton Waja after the jump. Thanks to reader Stephen for the new photos.
This is the new facelifted 2006 Proton Waja Campro.
You get a new new honeycomb grille and new headlamps. I can’t say I like the new headlamp design too much. Looks very Brothers. Where’s the designer who did the nice Gen2, Savvy and Satria Neo headlamps?
Rear “thermometer” taillamps. They also look like crop circles to me. Kind of like ET landed his UFO on the taillamps.
The Waja lettering has been moved above the numberplate.
New alloy wheels.

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments mainly express strong disappointment and negative sentiments about the Proton Waja facelift, criticizing its new tail lights, headlamps, and overall design as ugly, cheap, or poorly executed. Many feel it's merely a minor cosmetic update rather than a true facelift, with some accusing Proton of recycling old parts or using cost-cutting measures. There is frustration that despite previous updates, the car still looks outdated and unappealing, with some suggesting it looks worse than before. Conversely, a few comments mention that the platform is good and that Proton is trying to improve, but overall, the majority are highly critical, calling the facelift a poor, deceptive, or "face-down" modification. The overarching sentiment is one of dissatisfaction with the design choices.
