We’ve seen a number of spyshots of the upcoming Proton Preve Hatchback in the past few months – in March, April and May – all of course with the front and back of the test mules clad in the usual fashion.
There’s a leaked photo that’s been going on the Net showing the car’s rear, likely snapped during an internal showing – based on that, rendering wiz Theophilus Chin decided to come up with this one.
He explains that this looks more like a sketch than a rendering, “not my usual standard or quality” being his words. He explains that he couldn’t find parts to paste onto the Preve sedan, so he had to air-brush most of the rear diffuser and tail lights on in coming up with the Preve Hatchback render.
Nonetheless, it gives us a view of what to expect when the final product eventually breaks cover, and you can compare it with his original renderings of the car here.
cedok design a250
this have been circulating::
Theophilus rendering is based on this.

Ugly as usual and the rear taillight is like the new Skoda Octavia Wagon! exactly!!!
what the, haven’t they launched it already??
I bet you by the time its out, the life cycle of Preve is probably due
normally, it takes 5 years for a model complete cycle. do the maths, from the launching date until this coming august, will it reach 5 years?
But the world moving past Proton. 5 years in automotive basically like 50 years too late in dog years
That’s because you’re a dog.
I’m not really into this what they call “car craziness” , design , engine type.. etc .. but what i can see the design is quite cool . When people say ‘cedok’ design , a lot of model out there not only from Proton can be considered “cedok” . They put a lot of effort there .
i think there is horizontal silver plate/wings at the back like in persona…..
So bored looking at too much of spyshots, renderings and sketches… Show us the real thing laa, Proton!
The time will come, just be patient
Sounds like theo trying to reestablish his rendering mightyness with this post. Pfft.
Critics are a bunch of people who can’t walk the talk. Theo’s work or anyone’s in that matter should be respected. As long as there are no plagiarism. And if u wanna criticise someone, make it a positive one. Malaysians are well known for degrading people. Seriously sick of it. Malu sikit la wei…
If this is true, it’s quite nice! Looks continental. But needs more power!
It’s good enough if the faster version can do around 8 secs in century sprint
front = preve
rear = merc a200
hahaha
That looks good! I hope the real thing looks as good as that.
You can already see the actual rear end if you Google image search ‘preve hatchback’ and keep a lookout for a particularly BLUE example…
It does look like the new A Class at the back. Not that its a bad thing, is it?
i like it if the rear light more slender
B.O.R.I.N.G
so, Dugong is not boring to you..??
LOL!
almost there..
more or less the same
Looks like a retarded C-class wagon. A really retarded one.
Hidden due to lowcomment rating. Click here to see.
This result shows Pakatan will never going to win GE, since most Msian here does is not result oriented.
Btw, Proton is Cronies company whom also increase the sugar, roti etc. But I guess most people is ok as long as fish is given, since they dont want to compete.
Red bean bun or Red bean army? This is not a political forum ok.
lets buy tan chong greatest product then
the almera which has a very stylish n high class look
tan chong is not a cronie company
its our comrade company therefore we must support dunt we?
new rim please…”sigh”
New rim lah, got 7 spokes
Looks like a 2002 Kia Rio – Bland
Can’t deny, this is good looking car if design like this, look like satriA might hav prob with its market if this ride launch
this is nice… the blue one was ewww
Ugly rear light design.
Truth hurts
simple n nice. i like.
A little bit mod become A250………..
Isn’t that satria?
Really has some hint of Skoda at the rear, not bad actually, it compliments the nicely desugn front-end of the preve than, in my opinion, the half done arse of the sedan, which to me is one of major drawback of the preve’s design. Thou I’m not liking the curve rear glass like the one found on the Kia Rio.
I saw one of those covered test Preve hatch on the NKVE a week back and it looks like it had a full on LED DRL not the half-bright ones of the Preve sedan
Goodlah… DRL is way trendy than position lamp
Time to smoke Golf GTI.
With race chip and better gearbox that’s not impossibru
i tot i just saw a Spectra. Sorry, i’m just boring.
Compare with A250??nice!no more dugong
yahoo….
another cheap tin milo car for rakyat!!!
Thanks BN!
pop, totally agree.
1.8GPa is not tin milo. It’s much tougher than cheapo japs cars
A tin milo which its sedan form scores full 5 stars for ANCAP crash test ? Go pop your brain with a gun.
Woah..design so good meh…those who buy sedan version must be butthurt..
need not to show if its not you usual standard / quality lol.. notin creative but just make up some other models with another.. pity!
Bigger wheel please….
he he he
simple n nice. price? that is for me the most important right now.
its just OK to me.
preve front grill is still the problem.
the front end for HB is a little bit different
not the most original, but far better than the rear of the sedan currently.. IMHO.
i think current preve is a good car… only on quality issues which proton need to really stress into…
anyway for this hb, i don’t like its rear looks…
Honestly, Proton Preve is good to drive. Quality has improved but need to further improve in interior refinements.
I don’t think i can go back and drive the several Jap. brands that i have been. Ride and handling is simply european and is very comfortable.
You are the king of your own fantasy lah
What fantasy? i own a vios and preve. preve ride and handling is far better than jappy cars. even the performance is astounding compared to jappy cars.
Chris Bangle please come to Proton lah as new chief designer…gaji nanti boleh runding
Why dont proton give us the preve like the KLIMS 2010. That one more more nicer thhen current preve.
Bukan masalah tak pandai design, masalanya bagi kita design yang kurang cantik.
Any one like the KLIMS 10 version?
yup.. at first i think preve is tuah… but it is not actually…. preve development is far older than tuah. if im not mistaken…
nice…go proton go.prove ur self.
Preve sales in Australia March 2013 only around 43 units…bravo
walao…
Theo chin is better at designing la, seen the actual 1, for me, it sucks la…
You do realize that Theo Chin rendered this based on the actual leaked pic…it just looks different because of the awkward angle of the leaked pic…the real car will look almost identical to Theo Chin’s pic…
almost, but nope. i see the car already…
the real one is uglier or better looking? *just asking*
if they use a Nissan engine,@ MR18 de, i ll be the first to buy this car
it’s been long overdue…..what’s the special features of the car? leather seats? led screen? rear camera? b787-like dimming window? halogen lamp? esc? ebd? abs? automatic rain sensor? regenerative braking system?…these shd be std features now…they can’t always go budget…they should create their blue ocean now!
Nice design but retard enjin, the enjin should be dual cvvt, timing chain, gdi, turbo for premium model & 6 speed auto or. 6 speed manual gbox. Turbo disel enjin option..then the preve wil be worth it. Also maintain low selling price.
quite funny. asking for powerful engine but with the same price.
Yes as funny as Persona RM33K in Saudi Arabia too
Somebody please put exros just like civic mugen rr. left and right.
Proton is very slow.
Competitors are far away, sorry proton…
So, what type of carrot you feed to your donkey in Turkey which makes it much faster than this PROTON?
i mean in strategy and model line-up..
you must not be agree..
Perhaps Proton should become antique car company…re-assemble any past popular model eg. Nissan Sunny 120Y…
I like this car but sayang proton are controlling by DRB..too much controllinglah don’t so kedekutlah..I can see proton workes are works to hard to built the car but DRB have to improve in terms of commercialization and market to make the customer are interested and trusted of the quality proton cars..
i like it if proton just close shop to end all the rakyat sufferings…
so the rakyat suffering because they cant buy cheap lexus?
i think all australia citizen buy lexus, they dont buy hyundai at all. so that why the joker want lexus. FOr further question, ask the joker. tq
A car’s design depends very much on one’s perception of aesthetic.Personally I think the hatchback is quite pleasant at the rear.Technologywise,the Preve can easily trade punches with the best of its peers from the continental,Japan or Korea.Alas, had only Proton could do away with its hit and miss quality issues.
That’s the problem – Proton could never do away with its hit and miss quality issues!
those who didn’t, agree with my comen earlier are those who own a regrettable proton and they wish their car have the up to date features such as vvt like their neighbor’s vios, forte, almera car and even the p2 myvi enjin also have dvvt, timing chain and so on.
How to beat Korean with the snail speed launching of car? Better go fly kites.
As I read the comments, something come to my mind. Generally more than 10 years ago in Malaysia, we all have a stereotype mentallity when it comes to continental cars such as Peugeot, Citroen, Alfa, Fiat & etc, expensive to maintain, often breakdown, bad electricals and so on. But the thing is, if you go to Europe during those periods or meet a Europeon here, they refuse to acknowedge that and still insist that their products are one of the best. I wonder when will we Malaysian ever be proud of our own products and stand by it or are we still having a colonial mentallity hovering in our head that everything foreign is good and everything local is “Lowyah”. Proton design the car the engine and manufactured it on their own. How many countries in the world can claim to that. If everything foreign is good, then i think we must be living in the wrong country then. Instead of finding faults, can’t we for once just be proud of our local engineering achievement.
absolutely…true!
well that is the problem with Malaysians ,for them the best car is Vios,Huh pleeeaasee
1)The vios is only sold in 3rd &4th world countrys,If its sold in Europe it will not do well ,it is also not sold in Japan,So what does that say ……
2)In terms of safety any Toyotas that are made on the IMV platform (Avanza,Vios,Innova and Yaris) will not even get 3Stars Encap,In Europe the only Toyotas they get Are the Aygo,Rav4,Estima/Previa,Avensis and Landcruiser . and did you notice that there is no camry in Europe,well thats because they get The Avensis which may I add is 10 years ahead of the Camry that is sold in Malaysia .I know its hard to swallow but its true .So Toyota has fulled You guys for so long ha ha
Ahh Before I forget dont be supprised when you see the spec that is offered on the Preve HB it might give you shivers,why I say this is because There is some feature that are new to proton ie
1)Hill Start Release
2)Real DRL lights
3)Traction Control & Esc
4)New Enformation/Audio/Navigation system (There are claims that its run by Android Tech)
5)CFE engine Has been retuned to achive more power
PS :I do agree that the qulity is still far away But Proton always fokuses more on enginearing and safety than Quality which is sad very sad .Will You cant Win em all
what kind of photo editor used to do this kind of stuff?
Preve proton hatchback is very attractive .. with protons up global brand
i appreciate what protons is initiating…atleast we Malaysians are able to enjoy cars with various designs in an affordable price… my Exora is doing good.
CFE Exora?
The body styling looks like the Chevy Cruze Hatchback, and I when I mean that it looks nice but I just don’t like the fact they hid the exhaust while the Saga FL/FLX left them exposed outside the bumper. Still, nice though.
It was designed by Italdesign-Giugario
I hope Proton Preve CFE can get lowest price than Preve sedan now.
Usually the sedan is cheaper than the hatchback for most of any car brands
I am the one who indirectly working in automotive R&D. Even though its look very simple, e.g. changing the car boot, but the influence on car aerodynamics, stability and control, visibility is very big. Often concept car drawn by an artist is much more better than the production model. This is because, artist often do not consider aerodynamics and other technical things. When it comes to production, small alteration to the design is needed to improve the overall car performance. The car then must be tested in the wind tunnel (2 or more for validation), CFD simulation and road test under various driving conditions (including under side wind). We also have to remember that in Malaysia we have limited resources compared to some of big automotive countries that have access to supercomputing, efficient vendor etc. that dragged the R&D process. I am pretty sure, Proton is working in their best to serve the nation and high quality stuff never comes cheap. We should learn from Kia.
