We might have only gotten a sneak peek at the upcoming 2016 Proton Perdana – which will go on sale early next year – but we already have an idea of what the national carmaker’s flagship D-segment sedan will look like, thanks to rendering wizard Theophilus Chin.
If these renderings – which uses elements from the partial reveals at Alami Proton, as well as the first official teaser – are indeed representative of the final car, then the new Perdana will cut a handsome and aggressive figure indeed, and will not at all be reminiscent of the eighth-generation Honda Accord on which it’s based.
The sharp headlights feature “eyebrow” LED daytime running lights that flow into the Proton Wings grille, while the muscular lower bumper – with a silver “wing” running across the full-width air intake – adds a healthy dollop of sportiness to go with the sizeable front splitter.
As expected, the glasshouse extends further back than on the Accord – and the teardrop-shaped window line contrasts with the Accord’s BMW-esque kinked C-pillar – giving the new sedan an almost fastback-like roofline. At the rear sits L-shaped full-LED tail lights connected by a thick chrome bar, an integrated bootlid spoiler and exhaust exits that sit inside the rear bumper, together with the reflectors and number plate recess.
Theo also rendered the interior of the car – by contrast to the exterior, the cabin looks near-identical to the Accord, save for a large touchscreen in the centre. Do remember, however, that Proton chairman Tun Mahathir Mohamad has a “Accordana” limousine with, among others, a Jaguar-style rotary gear selector, an engine start button and an electronic parking brake – so it’s possible the final Perdana could include them.
It’s confirmed that the 2016 Perdana will be built at Proton’s Medium Volume Factory in Shah Alam, alongside the Exora MPV (the current government-use version is assembled at Honda Malaysia’s plant in Melaka).
Engine wise, it’s set to retain Honda’s 154 hp/189 Nm R20A3 2.0 and 177 hp/222 Nm K24Z2 2.4 litre i-VTEC engines – for now, at least. Both engines will be mated to a five-speed automatic transmission. We can’t wait to finally see this car in the flesh! What do you think about these renderings?

Hopefully this perdana will improve Proton’s prospect and fortune
Hopefully gov will abolish excise duty completely..
Or other cars maker will sue gov after TPPA agreement..
Well said AP system good for nothing… and DrM says will have a total different from Accord but the interior except “steering wheel” it look the same?!?!?
cool bro, this is theo’s work.
yup, this front render 90% similar with the production version but the rear design not same. the actual will be nicer.

Good job. Now only I would consider this accord based Proton. Proton still best rebadging cars… other stupid nonsense like 100% home breed Persona/Iriz/Preve/Suprima S are all junk. Some (especially SS) are even worse, 2014 cars park at warehouse not yet sold, second hand price already drop below RM10k. Malaysian rather buy the tiny expensive Mini.
Now let’s how Proton going to price the Accordana.
Mitsubishi Lancer 2.0 RM124k, rebadged Lancer(Inspira) RM92k = RM32k difference.
8th Gen Accord 2.0 RM142k/ 2.4 RM172k, so based on Inspira’s reduction estimated 2016 Proton Perdana 2.0 price is RM110k(RM142k – RM32k) Proton Perdana 2.4 is RM140k(RM 172k – RM32k)

Redbeans, FYI Bumi house worth lesser for resale unlike the car.
Better give you free lah, stupid,,,,,,no money then buy motosikal lah………..
I kasi u free nasi lemak… Hari2 makan nasi lemak n tido aje la… Sama cam gomen kite
Everthing want discount go Mydin or Tesco lar…you better said your Kwsp pun mau discount..apa macam?
Bro, no money don’t buy just go for proton saga cheap and nice… when can throw away the tongkat? My friend be independent…
This john must be incognito of communist-dap.
Foolishly racist. Go fly kite…
OMG…kiss goodbye to new p.perdana…lol
reminding me when proton rebadge the inspira which is actually lancer GT. of course proton will improve the car and make make it a lot more better value for money than the original which is in the same market as well..
Wrong…. He said the exterior design will be 80% difference from Accord.
Not sure for the interior though… Some said it will have the same design but with different colour scheme
finally approved..
Don’t count on it. Their previous game changers changed nothing.
Myvi outselling Iriz by 3 to 1 ratio.
30 to 1 more accurate
Adoiii, boleh pula compare myvi selling dengan iriz. Myvi sudah berapa tahun jual, iriz baru 1 tahun, lepas tu compare kata myvi 3-1, ermmm
I can see more Iriz in Subang area on october now compare to january when I started study here. and yes I owns a Proton Iriz too in last year.. so far so good…
OMG…To P1 fans…Iriz sales far far behind Myvi and Axia…almost cant see u …lol
Now you know why D-segment cars are priced RM140K and above.
So that if someone sells it at RM120K price, it sounds worth it more savings bla bla bla.
Never fall into that old trick again lah.
Tell me why its proton?!i will buy if its perodua.
Perodua punya kete sebijik macam daihatsu .just tukar badge jee.stupid ! Do rsearch laa .bila proton buat macamtu bukan main kritik. Perodua takde satu pun hasil tangan sendiri semua rembat daihatsu punya. Ada hatu nak kutuk proton
macam bodoh plak baca komen tu…bandingkan kelebihan dan kekurangan baru la cakap…mana baiknya proton dan mana buruknya produa…lol
OMG…holyshit…ugly crap.
Enough said.. Proton bad RV.. Buy Preowned Camry better than this new Perdana! Good RV!
I know this is just a rendering, but if Proton decide to use that interior styling, its kinda sad..hopefully they will not hold back this time..as usual, bod of Proton, please terima design yang up to date sikit, jangan kedekut nak invest
Proton always screwed up in rear buttock design.
Please hire new chief designer from Kia (Peter Schreyer) and not from Ssangyong.

Why loser? Can you tell ‘me’ why?
Only losers cannot afford to buy actual original Honda Accord.
honda accord? better buy C200 bro… price already drop.
relax guys.. dont be bothered by some keyboard warrior which does not even use real name when stupidly bashing.. actually he himself use kancil only.. butthurt when people are discussing about new and improved car..
Nasi Padang
yea yea yea…
really rich ppl is “Filthy Rich”….
you’re a “Flirty Rich”…. basically a poor guy flirting as if he is rich?? right?
Filthy jadi Flirty… English pun tahap Longkang ada hati nak kutuk proton…
Not really, the smart ones buy value. Why pay Honda for the crazy asking price and contribute to their vast margin when they can buy an almost similar one and save the balance for other household uses? Or a holiday? Or a kids education fund? These are the really smart ones.
Don’t feed the Troll.
Geli.. Cehh. Kritik bkn maen lagi, ace mai sute kereta ko buat, konfom xleh beza besi busuk dgn kerete. Sorry la bro, ckp jgn maen hentam jah
I must say I am impressed with the beauty & elegance.
Cun melecun.
Cantik giler.
Handsome.
Somebody hire this guy!!
He is an automotive manipulator (photoshopper), not true blue car designer from sketch. Hopefully one day Mr Theo will come out with his own original design. Then, Proton should take notice.
Not a true blue car designer? Then he’d fit right in at proton!
Proton is the one that must improve its design. Only then rakyat will take notice and buy it in shiploads.
Nice, nice, been waiting for Theo’s rendering !
Just a few months to go, all the best Proton.
Hello macha, you should be proud of TATA group the owner of Jaguar Land Rover.
Aero may be blind Proton licker, but dont be racist.
same interior as the old one. but the exterior design is not bad 7/10 from me
Please check your eyes. The rear design is hideous, looks like a bloated Gen2.
Why so hard for Proton to put number plate above the bumper? Sigh.
Design is personal and I personally think it looks good. Plus, I have no problem with my eyes. Perhaps you should check on your narrow mindedness instead.
The front wheel arches are more pronounced on the teaser than on Theo’s rendering.
kipidap Proton….looking fwd more “handsome” looking car in future under the leads of Tun M…
I really hope Proton rebuilt its interior, I don’t like the Honda one cause it looks too ugly…then again I’m not gonna buy anyway hahahaha
Work hard and buy actual original Honda Accord.
508 bro
Now it needs at least 8 inch touch screen in the centre console and its good to go.
Make sure also at least 6 airbags, TC,ABS, EBD, Hill assist,eco start-stop, adaptive cruise ctrl, lane assist, front sensor, rear view camera, auto light, retractable side mirror, auto dim rear view mirror, electric adjust seat, electronic parking brake, everything that mercedes have!
but sell at RM120k tops.OK? hahaha
I expect it to be below 80kk. Above that I would like elsewhere. Just my 2 sen.
For below RM80k, perhaps a B-Segment car will suit you better. Definitely not a D-Segment.
The best car in the world. Most handsome with sleek design. Nice interior, bla, bla, bla
But…errrrr I’ll think twice b4 buying it.
They should learn from Audi for interior design. Hopefully the side mirrors is the same as those on Evora 400 aka redesigned Preve side mirrors. Looked better than the Accord ones.
I think the reflectors on the rear bumper should go away and goes into the tail light assembly instead. It looked busy with the exhaust outlet also poking thru the bumper.
I think they wanted to keep it mind that it is still a Perdana so they put the reflectors there.
Waa…handsome than VW Passat
Damn, Theo, this is awesome job!
and seem the new Perdana is a real deal.
Thanks 1010.
Saw your previous rendering on Proton Arena based on new Mitsubishi Triton.
Now please revised it, put the Proton Truck Concept on Mitsubishi Triton for more realistic size and proportion.
Thanks in advance.
Seriously are they still using pull hand brake for their flagship car???
electronic parking brake can’t be used for drifting, man.. hahaha..
Who will use a D segment to drift, man?
some rare human being.. hmm..
Ghundu, you need rear-wheel drive to drift lah.
To be fair, even the F30 3-series still doesn’t use electronic parking brake.
the word ‘handsome’ redefined by the author. omg…unbelievable perception difference.
Proton Savvy also considered ‘cute’ when first unveiled.
“I’m very excited, how about you?”
Ha ha ha.
those real sneakpeek looks ‘thick’, whilst this one looks ‘sleek’. as usual, dont hope rendering to be similar with production one.
Gov staff who entitled to drive this car also tak sabar waiting to get this car,waiting to drive along balik kampung n shopping at mall,this is happen with current ‘accordana’,using gov car n petrol for private use…actualy it good for gov using car that not sell to public so we can ‘tangkap’ them using for private use….
Nice job Proton but I won’t buy it.
At Rm120k price? Ha ha he he hi hi ho ho.
The exterior really look nice this one. However, it’s the never changing interior that annoyed me.. If improved, I don’t see why it’s not a real contender..
Honda doesn’t allow Proton to tweak much of the interior.
heard the same thing from my friends that work on new perdana.
Why don’t allow ? I thought if allow much better.
Handsome? Come on. So blind already? Looks like typical cheap plotong for miskin people
Ya ya your car looks like typical expensive and luxury for rich people like you. Funny joke person.
Lol, miskin kaya, u mati esok2 tak muat toyota sebuah bro xoxo highway to hell hihi
Another brilliant job from Mr Theopilus..keep it up bro!
On another note, I hope Proton changes the interior and improve the built quality as well. The powertrain need some tuning too to make it more fuel efficient because the 2.4 model I had previously is very very thirsty even by driving moderately.
Thank you JZ.
exterior is Splendid, good job.
however, Interior… if that is the case, then they should updates the ICE of this 2008 year Honda.
Make it dual screen Radio/GPS like 9th Honda, updates the Meter cluster to more up to dates.
Problem with 8th Gen Honda Accord:
1. Poor NVH which to be blame for its car platform. Honda can’t improve it further until the end. The 8th gen facelift comes with thicker carpet just to improve the car insulation, not sure a very cheapskate Honda, but it improve a bit.
not sure how Proton tackle those NVH in the Perdana Accord
Bla bla bla,proton not good. Bla bla bla i dont buy proton. Bla bla bla proton is pasar malam car. Bla bla bla proton is shit. But for me is good. I own proton waja dec 2004. Is still worth to use. No major problem i had. In 9yrs my km is 320k. Then only this egine start drain egine oil. I just do my overhall now is 370k km. No problem. Still go up 190km/hrs top speed. No problem at all. Minor issue only i had like air cond pipe leaking, window motor. Is just minor like other cars. I have a good proton car. This is my personal opinion with my car.
Honda City now offer cash rebates RM3,500. After sell off your Waja at scrap iron (by kilo weight) maybe get another cash RM3,500. Enough lah for new car deposit.
Fine. But why must force people to buy if its so good? Why not just open the market, since Proton is so good, can compete with anyone what. Why still protection?
When talk about opening the market, Proton cannot compete.. still need time..
When talk about Proton’s performance, wow Proton very good, my car no problem, I love Proton, so reliable, best handsome..
So which is which?
Ur waja still in gud condition? I beleive if u drive besi buruk pun u will still say its beta than Merz S class.
Waja tu bnyk jadi kereta polis kt london bro. Jgn mulut je sedap, consider k
for those who wondering why the interior looks almost the same as the Accord, Honda doesn’t allow Proton to make major changes for the interior but Proton only can make some minor tweak.. Proton’s officer told me..
Why cannot ? It’s gonna be proton car anyway so proton should have right to do its own interior
it’s called “license”
T & C apply
Exactly.
PLEASE redesign / change the logo. It spoil the whole car design.
Great design but the exhaust,yuck
Very impressive.
so handsome….n muscle…hahah
Now really depends on the price. Proton has to strike between RM95-130K.
good rendering!
change the badge to something more commercial look then u r ready to go proton.
This is the right time for Proton. Maintain your expand tempo. Keep moving. Spread the “Proton Wing”.
I think this will definitely improve Proton in years to come. Really impressed. I am going to test drive it for sure when it launch. So far preve is really great.
dear Theo,
why put it on silver?
just put it on Red as a sneak peek picture?
then, viola! it is more real
one more
please don’t use Tuah rims
Just put the Iriz’s rims
TQVM
Beautiful external rendering Theophilus!
The inside not so. You just changed the steering badge.
Not a bad idea for Proton to base the Perdana on 8th Gen Accord. That one is still the biggest Accord so far.
The little plastic triangular piece to fit the original rear side window glass to the rear quarterlight could have been better resolved.
Please tell me Proton got Lotus to tweak the Honda suspension.
It will probably be the best value car to take advantage of the corporate income tax motorcar capital allowance.
Another game (no) changer… yawn. Proton can promise bulan and matahari, but in the end, sales chart speaks the truth. Once this car is launched, prepare to go to the showroom and find uneven gaps, poor finishing and lousy quality parts in the cabin. Then, it will accompanied by a massive media hype, praised by all ball-licking test drivers and car media. In the end, many people talk about it, more people discuss about it, but nobody wants to buy. Sales still lost to Perodua. Proton TIV figure in 2013: 20% 2014: 17% 2015: 15% (almost there) No matter how many new models Proton launch, sales is dropping at an average of 2% TIV every year. Any ideas? Proton Fanboys? Truth is hard to swallow isn’t it?
Smart guys get it.
Drive it to believe it.
Game changer.
Wow. Cun giler.
smart guys buy original!
hahaha
Put your money where your mouth is Proton supporters.
I’m taking a RM 100 stake that by 2017, Proton will undergo bankruptcy and restructuring with massive lay-offs.
Anyone can place the bet, by 31 Dec 2017 if this doesn’t happen, I will pay each person who bet the RM100.
If the bankruptcy occurs, each person pay me RM 100.
Milo tin terbaru with nasi lemak technology!
Looks ugly. they try to make it look like new Renault sedan but it looks like an IRIZ with ballooned body. ugly and lets see how it competes with Hyundai, Toyota, Mazda and new Accord. failure again. sorry for being negative but this is what I see.
Jaguar Gen2.
Now this looks more astounding!
Tengok bahagian belakang seakan belakang Opel Insignia 2014.
The grill look cheap – ‘too proton’. Doesnt have premium look. Thinking of old gen-2 or saga.
I demand something with better.
Honda engine..
Well, well, well.
Saga front, Gen2 rear, Honda middle. An unimaginative orgy.
Nice but I would say simple is better. Proton(designer) should inspired by Zenovation. Zen concept which still implement the sport element(as proton signature). Proton should try ‘Elegant Sport Simplicity’.
still the old accord interior looks and the car butt is ugly shet.
I think the outcome wont be this handsome. Anyway, if it does look like this, I wont be ashame to own and drive one.
Early 2000 French styling kawin sama japan styling..a duck comfit sushi with sambal sauce?…errm sorry NO…not for me..but a good try though..keep on moving forward proton..all the best!
I may have to remind you that this is a rendered version from Theo.
Asal Proton saja punya isu, waah tak sabar2 orang nak kutuk. Heran jugak apa salah sebenarnya pekerja2 Proton dan jugak pembekal2 Proton. Cadang saya kalau ada yang berminat nak tunjuk kehebatan buat kereta cuba2 lah hubungi CEO Proton dan bagi pendapat macam mana sepatutnya cara buat kereta tuh.
Atau bukak syarikat terus. Kasi orng laen kutuk pulak puas puas
I drive saga SV, and I think it is very good car but poor interior design
Look a like Renault Fluence with different frontal and rear motives.
Have tested the fluence, performance is very good with 5 years free maintenance. Only drawback is heavier at the back cusing slower but still powerful pickup. power train cvt from nissan is powerfull.
Anything is better than that retarded HONDANA and this new version of the Perdana seems better than I expected… Like a Malaysianized version of a BMW or Audi sedan! XD
Proton is still proton. No matter how good it look. The same will happened. Gearbox problem. Power window no working. Aircon water seep into the car. Tail light full of water. My experience using saga,wira, waja and perdana .
Look good , OK
The price also must be good/reasonable for a local car
PROTON, pls make sure interior also good looking like continental cars.
Lastly interior, choose other than dark colour
Got Manual driver version? Hard to get in Malaysia. Idiots importers don’t want to bring in. Seems like conspiracy to squeeze Malaysian for more money repairing gearbox or buying new car every 4 years….
I drive a 2005 perdana v6 with ngv installed. Mileage is 580K and it is still running smooth. Only minor problems such as tyre and power windows. Overall, perdana is indeed a good car to drive (even for being a proton)
Good car
Dog life
Bullshit….spare part will be crazy! Because I have an Experience with this copy cat proton.
Rakyat malaysia sbb tu la tak maju2 sampai sekarang tak mcm org jepun dgn korea…kalau tgk pada lagak memang mengalah kan hero james bond….
modified bmw front and jaguar xf rear. no innovation.
Harga kebih kurang honda accord, baik beli accord..x boleh ke bagi harga seperti Hunydai yg di jual di korea..hunydai harga di negara sendiri amat patut kerana dlm negara, tapi perdana masih di jual mahal dalam negara sendiri..
