It looks like the Proton GEN-2 will be refreshed again. Our Harvinder Singh was turning off the NKVE into the Elite highway when he came across a trailer of GEN-2s. That’s nothing to shout about, but his eagle eyes spotted some unusual rear lights on the GEN-2s. They’re not the usual “crop circle” units, but look similar to those on the Persona Elegance!
These rear lamps, which include nine LEDs in two rows, first appeared on the Persona Elegance facelift model back in March 2010. Two months later, Proton gave the GEN-2 a refresh, adding the usual SE treatment that includes a black roof, but without the Persona Elegance’s new tail lamps. Click here to view a live showroom gallery of the GEN-2 in its present form.
Besides the new tail lamps, our spyshots reveal no black painted roofs or grey rims and door handles. And instead of “CPS 1.6”, the badge on the left side of the tailgate just reads “1.6”. Could we be looking at a new “base line” variant equipped with the 1.6-litre Campro IAFM engine? The current GEN-2 range is solely powered by the 125 hp Campro CPS, whether you’re buying High-Line or Medium-Line.
The wheels and the rear spoiler are existing items. More pics after the jump!

Comments on the blog post about the Proton GEN-2 refresh mostly express nostalgia and admiration for the car's handling and design, often comparing it favorably to other models like Honda City and Toyota Vios. Many believe Proton is simply clearing its old stock with minor updates like new taillights and lamps, and some speculate it might be for export markets. Several comments mention further modifications and upgrades done by owners to improve comfort and performance. Despite some criticisms about outdated styling and quality issues, many loyal fans highlight their fondness for the GEN-2's driving experience. Overall, the sentiment is a mix of appreciation for the car's handling and skepticism about the extent of the recent updates, viewing it as a stop-gap measure before new models arrive.
