We’re here at the Proton Power of 1 event at Bukit Jalil, and there’s plenty to see. We just brought you scenes from the slalom demo featuring the soon to be launched P3-21A, and browsing through the many pavilions led us to this find – the P3-21A’s instrument cluster in its full glory.
The fully lit-up meter panel shows a twin-dial layout, with digital readouts for fuel level and temperature. Below that is a screen showing average fuel consumption – this should be a part of a multi-info display that will also read out range, journey time, instantaneous fuel consumption and so on.
We can also see warning lights for the airbags, ABS and electronic stability control – ESC appears on a Proton for the first time in the P3-21A. The meter panel is of the “always on” type, meaning you don’t have to turn on the headlights for it to come on. There’s a five-step dimming function. We snapped a pic of the spec sheet – full look in the gallery below.
The fonts for the dials are quite sporty, and the red/black/white theme is a tried and tested formula for a sporty, “technical” and legible cluster – Audi, Volkswagen and BMW M are subscribers, and even Ford has it in its little Fiesta. Like what you see?

AI-generated Summary ✨
The comments mainly discuss the Proton P3-21A's meter panel, with some reviewers appreciating its simple, clean, and modern design, and others criticizing it for looking old-fashioned or not up to European standards. Many express excitement and encouragement to test drive the car before forming a solid opinion, with some highlighting the importance of functionality over aesthetics. Safety features like ESC are acknowledged as a positive improvement, and there is general support for Proton's efforts to upgrade their vehicles. A few comments compare the meter design unfavorably to rivals like Myvi, suggesting room for enhancements such as color displays or more sophisticated aesthetics, but overall, there is optimism about Proton’s progress and calls for actual experience through test drives.
