We were alerted to a page on Proton Edar website’s Proton Preve section, where a Proton Preve LE has appeared in the price and specifications-list section. Thanks, Aero, for the tip! There’s no mention of it anywhere else on the website, but the spec list is more than enough to give us a preview of Proton’s new top-of-the-line Preve.
According to Proton Edar, the Proton Preve LE (LE for Limited Edition) will be priced at RM79,688. Equipment that it adds over the previous range topping 1.6 Premium are a new bodykit which includes front, side and rear kits, 17-inch R3 alloys wrapped with 215/45 tyres, curtain airbags (which brings the total airbag count up to six), a top tether for child seats which supplement the existing ISOFIX mounts, and leather for the seats and console lid.
This is similiar to the specs of the Australian-market Preve, which has scored a five-star ANCAP rating. Unlike the Preve 1.6 Premium which is available in both solid and metallic in a variety of colours, the Preve LE appears to be only available in solid white, which makes its RM79,688 price tag a RM7,148 premium over the Preve Premium 1.6 solid’s RM72,540 price.
We’ve noticed that the Preve LE is dressed in a similar vein as the official Proton Preve R3 bodykit we showed you back in August, so you can click here for a better view.
