I think the picture pretty much speaks for itself – a very nice and revealing shot of the new Proton P3-21A sedan that has been making its way around the internet this week. Done in a sporty yellow, we can spot projector headlamps, and a nice sporty bumper with a prominent center air intake and big fog lamp inserts.
There have been a few revisions to the front end of the P3-21A compared to when it was previewed at last year’s KLIMS motorshow as the Proton Tuah concept. We’ve uploaded one picture of the Tuah above for easy comparison. For one, the headlamps have a different internal lens configuration now, and the lower edge of the headlamps now joins the grille. The daytime running lights at the fog lamp area has also been replaced by a regular fog lamp, but it appears that Proton has kept some form of LED daytime running lamp running along the lower edge of the headlamp.

Comments suggest that the new Proton model, believed to be the Persona R replacement, resembles a hybrid of Honda City and Kia Forte designs, with some fans appreciating the modern look while others are disappointed by the change from the original Tuah concept. Many focus on the exterior, especially the headlamps and grille, which they feel could be more stylish and true to the concept, and the overall appearance has been described as bland and outdated. Enthusiasts hope for a better interior finish, stronger safety features, and a reliable turbo engine, with some advocating for a lifetime warranty. There’s also discussion about the car possibly undergoing crash tests, and some comments highlight the color testing in yellow. Overall, the sentiment is a mix of cautious optimism and critique, with anticipation for final specs and pricing.
