While Perodua teased its new Axia model this morning, the soon-to-be-launched Proton GSC (Global Small Car) had a teaser of its own too. This one is not done officially however, as it comes in the shape of a partially-exposed model on a transporter, as spotted by reader Fadzil Bunian in Bestari Jaya last weekend.
The tail lamp of the black example is seen uncovered, revealing the new model’s LED combination rear lights. There’s a roof spoiler in view too, likely indicating that this is a high-spec, bodykitted variant of the new Proton model.
Another set of spy shots mailed in by reader Michael Tan from Malacca today shows two different Proton hatchbacks testing, one with a roof spoiler and one without.
The two Proton hatchbacks were seen wearing different alloy wheel designs. The one without the roof spoiler has simpler alloy wheel design, so it could be a low or mid range car.
With this, the officially-released photo of the headlamp assembly and our exclusive spyshots of the car’s interior and dashboard, we now have a clear picture of how Proton’s Myvi-fighter is shaping up to be. Looks rather promising, doesn’t it?

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments about the Proton GSC's partial reveal mainly express cautious optimism, with some praising its design and safety features, suggesting it offers better specs and build quality compared to competitors like Myvi and Honda Jazz. Many hope the price will be affordable, around RM45k to RM55k, to attract buyers, and see it as a potential game-changer for Proton’s reputation. However, skepticism remains about whether Proton can deliver on design and pricing promises, with some comparing it unfavorably to global brands and doubting its success. There is also a mix of off-topic banter, offhand remarks, and general support from loyal Proton fans. Overall, the sentiment is a combination of期待 and skepticism, emphasizing hopes for competitive pricing, improved quality, and successful market performance.
