Our colleague Azree managed to snap these photos of a solitary Proton Global Small Car (code-named P2-30A) on the Federal Highway – just about managed, as the car began to speed off after the driver realised it was being photographed.
We’ve showed you lots of spyshots (plus a spy video) of the GSC since November last year, both at home and abroad. We’ve seen the dashboard, touch-screen and head unit, as well as its tail lamps. We also know that LED DRLs and ESC will be available, and that a CVT is very likely.
A name has already been picked from the Nama Siapa Hebat naming contest. Looks like we’ll have to get closer to the car’s launch, scheduled to happen later this year, before we know what to properly call it.
See our Proton P2-30A Global Small Car infohub for our full coverage on the upcoming Proton thus far.
