Yet more spyshots of the 2016 Proton Perdana have been sent over by reader Saiful Azhar Musa – these photos give us a better view of what the national flagship D-segment sedan will look like.
Evident in the front shot are the new, more rounded headlights that are a departure from the rectangular ones on the eighth-generation Honda Accord on which the new Perdana is based. The sole teaser image released by Proton shows projector headlights with solid LED daytime running light strips, as opposed to the individual diodes as seen on the Prevé, Suprima S and Iriz Premium.
Along the side, we notice the door shutline that runs up the windows ends much shorter than the one on the Accord. We already know that the Perdana will lose the Accord’s BMW-style C-pillar kink in favour of a more elegant teardrop shape.
The rear windscreen also has a shallower rake compared to the Accord – that, combined with the longer rear overhang (where most of the 150 mm length increase over the Honda should reside) lends a more graceful, if rear-heavy, profile. Around the back, there’s the L-shaped LED tail lights that were already revealed at the Alami Proton open day event, although the integrated twin rear exhaust exits are conspicuously missing here.
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. The Perdana will be offered to civilian buyers in the first quarter of 2016.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
Berapa kali nak tunjuk Perdana kena bungkus suratkhabar?
Only brave macai dare to waste RM100K on this car.
Work hard so I can own 4 Lexus at home. Pity kimchis driver.
Butthurt bashers cannot afford it go for cheapo Axia lor
Haha. You could have gotten 5 Lexus, but one of those Lexus end up in RM2.6B, corruption, cow condos, submarines, wasted taxes.
Datuk bijak, you will be surprised some loyal,HARDCORE proton fanboys will dare to waste even Rm110,000 on this rebadge job.
Just like cigarettes ,the Proton brand image is HIGHLY ADDICTIVE.
No matter how sam loo,u or me bash poor Proton,there will be supporters.They have a disease called SYIOK SENDIRI SYNDROME(SSS)
Try buat kereta kalau pandai. Sembang sini tak guna.
No choice driven is sponsored by Petronas ma.
They’re delaying the car so that they can sell it in 2016 when car prices increase!
Power window ok x?
Honda power window ok tak?
Teaser here, leak shot there, syiok sendiri “self praising” kampung fanfare, imaginary booking figures….All local motor journalist rushing to flatter it like product from heaven, couple with big marketing noise and stupid slogans… In the end, nobody wants to buy it.
Whenever Proton launch a new junk, expect the above cycle to repeat itself. Malaysian has generally grew sick and tired, even immune to Proton grandma story. (except for fanboys who can’t see reality)
In the end, same old story. Bunyi kentut aje kuat, sales figures speaks the truth. Come 2016, Proton TIV figure will further decline to 13%.
Stupid syok sendiri camo here and there. Oled revealed full in the short film,somemore cover jibai here and there. P1 really no improvement since i bought Wira till now.
What is your problem…. actually? This topic about a car …
VW diesel vehicles outsold toyota diesel vehicles globally. So you saying VW is better than toyota, after all the shit with dieselgate scandal?
Sales figure is not everything. Otherwise MB,BMW,AUDI combined is considered a failure compared to toyota.
VW and Toyota both selling around 9 mil cars annually.
Those selling 0.1 mil cars like Proton pergi main jauh2 lah.
VW and Toyota are mass market brand, they have high selling volume. Merz, BMW and Audi are luxury brand, they market are luxury segment. Ferrari and Lambo are supercars brand, their market are niche.
What market Proton belongs to?
Jual tak banyak, nak kata luxury, quality teruk gila.
Sales figure is NOT everything. PBT is. if you dunno economics go back to kindergaten
Your pathetic Proton sales figure takda, PBT pun takda, TIV lagi teruk, 15% dalam pasaran domestic, apa lagi u mau defend fanboy?
U better go call Proton go bck to kindergaten, learn how to make a decent car than trying to be a syiok sendiri hampeh quality car maker.
Axia is flood around the town,but iriz is rare as golf gti…
Myvi Lagi lagi best lagi facelift is even more rarer than a wombat in Malaysia.
Too bad you are staying in remote place called cave
Do you know Malaysia got a lot rubbishman? Is almost 50%, they like rubbish.
lel.. comparing cheapskate axia (add rm1.5k for new 2016 safety feature ABS) with well equipped safety feature B segment Iriz?
U lagi syok sendiri cibai…dah tak suka proton diam la jgn nak melalak mcm anjing.
when i read about proton news or cars, i always fell asleep.
it is a good bedtime story.
Number plate at bottom bumper like Gen2?
Another design failure.
Actually , number plate placing at the bottom rear bumper is much more elegant in terms of overall design, compared to in-between the rear lights placing (which is a distraction to the cohesiveness of the overall rear body design).
Elegance and Proton hardly mix at all.
pls make ur qc and service better
then it will be really nice
Camera man, Hey, please lah, go snap some car which is more valuable to catch the sneak peak lah. This Proton Junk snap and waste memory card space lah. Aiyo, Proton can never produce good car after Wira launched till now. Stupid National car.
So you are only driving wira?
Even new upcoming civic dun have as much strength in steel as in Preve, lol
Stupid ppl will Buy this JUNK
Junk comment, please skip

1-Keep teasing here and there, this is the tactics that Proton use to buy time for themselves, to make people wait for proton perdana and not buying other cars…Actually they are not ready yet.
2- Or maybe they are ready…but they afraid people forget about the perdana and buy other cars or some people that can’t wait any more longer, so that’s why they keep teasing…to make people feel oh the perdana is near I must wait for it…
I know many people are waiting and wanna know what it looks like, even know we don’t like proton but we want to know how far our Malaysian made car has go. Tired of waiting…why can’t just show us!!!
If you dun want to read GTFO
kesian semua, x suka proton tp komen kat artikel proton, bila masa pula proton syok sendiri mau buat teasing sana sini. Orang pi curi tangkap gambar, bukan proton pi bagi paultan gambar teaser ni, adoiiii
Sendiri bagitau tempat, sendiri ambil gambar.
Kalau tak suka proton gi main jauh2 la anjing….
Can not write English ah? Who is afraid of who? Proton don’t even dare to compete openly in the open market world wide only know how to ripe off own Malaysia with silly price tag. Malaysia is only a small market. How could you be successful if only try to monopoly in your own country?
eh,.Proton is exporting their cars to other countries la,… South America, Indonesia, Thailand,. so they are trying to penetrate international market as well,..
But in oversea proton price cheap! but why gov make use us? Put higher price then original price of foreign car.
Akhirnya komen yg bernas. Proton tak suruh pun orang ambil gambar kereta ni lepas tu post di Paultan.
What to do. most commenters here are “bangang” to the max.
Betul bang proton tak suruh org amik gambar, tapi proton tau org akan amik gambar jadi mereka tease la, bagi org lain yg amik gambar , so senang la kerja proton dan x perlu dikata oleh org syok sendiri kerana proton tau mesti ada org snap gambar, so the conclusion is still the same, asyik show sini sana je…
org2 yg komen kat sini x salah , kamu perlu paham kenapa carmaker suka bawa kereta ke sana sini padahal belum launch lagi, kerana mereka hendak tease la sini sana, nak jadi topik perbualan , buat org terjumpa kereta yg dibalut ni dan snap gambar dan sebar kat Internet, jadi memang la proton x yah suruh org snap kerana mesti ada orang snapkan untuk mereka, apa2 pun Ustaz juga teringin nak lihat kereta buatan negara kita ni, tapi asyik show kereta balut aje bila boleh lihat yg real punya? Adoii bosan la
Saya beranggapan mereka lebih kepada menilai kenderaan tersebut. Sebelum launch sesuatu model, perlu diuji dahulu. Saya rasa semua orang maklum, cuma sesetengah orang yang masih stereotaip dgn jenama Proton.
sorry.. i kinda like Proton.. but did this new Perdana is too late? late in the meaning of when compare it to Honda Accord.. it sounds like, should we buy new Perdana that based on 8th gen Accord or we can get used 9th gen Accord that just only 3 years old.. just my humble opinion..
If year 1995 boleh lah jual Perdana macam kereta high class mengaku kereta ciptaan sendiri.
Now zaman twitter susah sikit lah mau tipu car buyers.
Bagus beli saja original Accord atau Jaguar. Apa kelas pakai barang tiruan.
Unless you go for 9th gen accord V6 with cylinder deactivation, pretty much not much difference in terms of engine & chassis. You get your moneys worth going for new perdana since its covered under warranty. Used car is always buyers beware, especially when its too cheap
Wow,I am surprised with you guys.You can see the actual car design eventhough it under camouflage.How ah?Look,the Perdana haven’t launch yet,but you already condemn the car design like you already see it.Please guys,wait the car to launch,see it and you nilaikan sendiri.
100% negative comment…wow like they hate proton but care enough to singgah here….but again, i rather pick this than camry.
But in the end buy saga flx
LOL. So many haters here. I don’t understand these haters life. Only know how to bash others. It makes me feel sad for them. Get a life bros =).
p/s I’m not new in the internet
When this car is released, it’ll sure be like 120k-130k. Do u think ppl will choose this or choose civic or altis? Do u think the build quality will be as good as Honda and Toyota? Well yeah it is if you’re a proton fanboy. People with wise minds will know that proton is bullshit. After 30 years still using engine from Honda? Wtf did those engineers did? Fapping everyday while designing Iriz? Sorry la proton u dah takda market.
Havent launch yet but already know the expected price.. power leh.. u shouldnt be here bro.. cant make money at all.. better u lepak at stock exchange.. millionaire u will be..
It’s called the power of estimation. Budak kampung like u won’t know what’s that
Jadi apa yg ko bising sangat dgn enjin honda tu? wei proton masih muda lgi tau bru umur 30 thn enjin dah mcm2..drpd campro biasa tukar ke campro iafm lepastu campro cps dan hinggalah skg campro cfe dan campro vvt, (campro vvt turbo akan dtg)..ok la kan? honda dah berabad cuma vtec dgn i-vtec jer..jdi apa yg hebat sgt
come on, no need cover here, cover there, and make news. Only syoik syoik sendiri oni.
No one gonna give this proton a second glance, much less owning one.
This proton most likely was being recycled a few times a few year by Honda, before launched as “new” by Proton in Malaysia.
You can’t sale stale pisang goreng, by changing the wrapping.
please don’t repeat the failure of preve instead it is a good car, stringent your QC first!
This one will not sell as Najis will make sure Mr. M suffer for a tracking him openly.
Guna platform honda, guna enjin honda, harga pun dijangka bersaing dengan honda civic… baik beli honda.
Its a different segment la dei.. at the end, its your money, their car.. no one force you to buy it..
Govt also shouldn’t force itself buying Perdana. Don’t waste more duit rakyat lah okay.
Apa lah korang semua ni,suka sangat nak komen pasal kereta buatan Malaysia,kalau rosak sikit je tak suka asal tu tak suka. Korang pernah ke nampak designer Proton keluar lepak-lepak ha? Sekurang-kurang Malaysia mampu buat kereta sendiri, tak macam Singapura dengan Thailand sampai sekarang tak mampu buat kereta sendiri. Tak boleh ke bangga sikit, aku pakai Proton Wira sampai sekarang boleh tahan lagi rosak tu adelah tapi masih boleh pakai. Aku pulak akan sokong Proton sampai bila-bila. Lain kali kalau tak suka jangan komen stupid lah syok sendiri lah, kalau dah tak suka tu tak payah lah komen benda yang tak elok. Mulut tu jaga sikit ehh. Pandai-pandai je nak kritik kereta buatan Negara sendiri lebih kurang korang semua ni bukan warganegara Malaysia je. Puiii……
Sembang kencang macai.
Nanti duduk kat Langkawi kereta Toyota, Honda juga awak beli cash.
Ya, buat kereta sendiri sampai orang tempatan pun tak nak sokong. Kereta Proton celaka hampeh kualiti ni… dalam negeri dah tak laris, eksport lagi teruk, 6 biji aje jual kat thailand dalam tahun ni, Indon yg kononnya darah serumpun hanya beli tak sampai 50 biji. Cam mana nak survive?
Orang Thailand bijak, mereka tau yg penting ialah pelaburan mata wang asing, galmor dan syiok sendiri tu tak penting, baik jadi pemasang kereta yang terbesar di Asia daripada menjunam ke dalam business syiok sendiri, asyik rugi wang dan tidak mendatangkan apa2 faedah. Pemimpin Thailand berpandangan jauh dan prakmatik. Kini dia orang dah jadi Detriot of Asia. Proton? bikin macam-macam sampah tapi kualiti tetap teruk dan hampeh. Kita orang menyokong Proton dengan hasil titik peluh kita, ambil loan 7 tahun, bukan dapat free pun, tapi kereta hampeh kita dapat. Menyusahkan dan menyedihkan. Apa lagi kita dapat tau Proton jual kereta yg sama tapi gan spec lebih tinggi kepada org Arab dengan separuh harga saja! Mestilah kita marah! Kewujudan Proton bukan sahaja menyusahkan org Malaysia, ia juga membantutkan ruang perkembangan sektor otomotif tempatan sebab nak jaga muka kononnya. Dulu Volkswagon mau beli tak nak jual, keras keplala mau buat kerera sendiri jugak, kualiti tetap hampeh sebab nak jaga kroni, padanlah muka sekarang. Sales Proton tahun ni hanya 15% pasaran tempatan, tunggulah tahun depan diatasi oleh Honda dan Toyota, jadilah kereta minoriti dalam negara sendiri, buat malu aje! Kalau tak mampu bersaing, baik gulung tikar aje lah, menyusahkan dan memalukan Proton ni.
Yea .. that’s the keywords.. BANGGA. Plus a few more like LAIN DARI YANG LAIN, MENCIPTA NAMA, BERJAYA, SEKURANG-KURANGNYA.
Normally you will see these words along with industri rotan, sos cili and keropok lekor.
Can’t speak in English? This is the mentality that forced you to remain stuck with your Wira for so long. If you were more critical about the quality of Proton, not supported so blindly and worked harder, you could be driving a Honda or Toyota today. But instead you choose to bash the people who condemn a car manufacturer that they feel is not good enough. It’s an open world. People have the right to free speech. Don’t like it, maybe then you are not the “warganegara” you mentioned because free speech is the right of life for Malaysians. I hope you can understand my rant or did I just waste 5 minutes of my life?
As some readers commented most local motoring publications and journalist earned a reputTion for being PROProton everytime a new model launched words like “game changer, beautiful and elegant design, world class, best in its class, sure best seller, safest car” etc u can almost fill in the blanks using these words yurself…tats why i stopped wasting my money paying to read biased nonsense..in the end the local car magazines sales dropped and they only have themselves to blame
My first spyshot.chase those camo car after they overtake us at 110kmh.open the window n take that shot.send to pt.publised.happy day.gud road test to proton team.tq
Those afford wont buy this car,proton supporter cannot afford this car.
So how to get sale?
Because govt will buy it as fleet cars or rent it from Spanco to clear old stocks.
No need to worry if sales failure.
Truly hopeless.
Looks okay exterior-wise. Hopefully we get a reliable and powerful engine to pull all that bulk around. If Proton pulls a surprise and does this right – Right-pricing, good QC and after-sales service… they might just be able to get back their customers. It’s a long road without shortcuts to establish brand-strength.
Nvm, dont compare the car first.
Lets compare the two service center and staff attitude.
I like Proton cars. They are nice and stable to drive. Though quality wise and service centres attitude need to be improved, especially the attitude “proton, biasalah”. I had two Proton cars, Saga and Waja. The Waja was very satisfying to drive but gives me lots of headache because parts were below par quality and easily broken though it was replaced with original parts. Even after 6 years selling it, I still have nightmares about it. I suppose by now, they have improved their quality but still have the bad perception from the public. What they need is something like “Consumer Reports” review to gain the trust of the people. I’m driving a Toyota Corolla now. The ride and handling is not as good as Proton, feels like driving a ‘tin kosong’. However, I bought it for reliability. If Proton can deliver that, reliability, I suppose they can go very far.
Agreed. They need to up their game in quality fit & finish, and especially their after sales service. I currently drove a Honda Civic 2.0 and a Proton Suprima S. The Suprima wins big time one ride and handling, but the Civic’s fit & finish is better.
Praise to Proton for trying yet again. I hope the car is readily developed and tested prior to release to the market. Proton is so used to launching vehicles though it is not ready ie transfer the defects to the market. Please learn from previous models yo?
Go naked oso nobody interested
you’re sure? you’re very sure?
Proton can never change because it is exactly like UMNO.
Proton UMNO
100% Malay run. Same
Nothing is ever their fault. Same
Cannot survive without Same
government support.
Watch you word. Never get racis here.
Man, most comment paling banyak bila paultan buat articles mesti pasal Proton XD
tease tease this one not midnight masala la…. exact date of release when? u see alot of fiery comments before even the car has hit the roads… wait a min… wait a min…. production start edy or not ah?
Also, some clowns will give negative comments about small little thing about their junk, hoping to give impression that the rest of the car are perfect.
I’ve a bad feeling on the design…
Tengok buntut pun sudah tau hodohnya design.
Suruh tukar designer tak nak, bila sales tak laku pandai pulak blame rakyat tak sokong beli.
What do you expect? Its designed by Azlan and his tiga suku ingineer
The most stupid comment u can get here…..
