With all the spyshots of the 2016 Proton Perdana, we’ve just got a glimpse of some of the items that will be featured in the national flagship D-segment sedan, which is based on the previous-generation Honda Accord.
Additionally, we’ve been told that the Perdana is now officially open for booking. The price has not been set yet, but Proton chairman Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamed candidly said at a briefing today that it will be priced between RM100k-RM150k. Also, the launch date for the car has not yet been finalised, but there’s a possibility of it arriving sometime in the first quarter, so the word goes.
Inside, items include paddle shifters and cruise control, and also on is an infotainment system with GPS navigation and reverse camera function, dual-zone automatic air-conditioning, anti-trap power windows for the front, a tilt and telescopic steering and a power-adjustable driver’s seat.
The Perdana will be equipped with a 2.4 litre engine offering 181 hp and 222 Nm of torque. Paddle shifters and cruise control are also to be found. Safety-wise, the Perdana will come equipped with airbags (no specific mention of how many), electronic stability control as well as ABS with EBD.
Previously, the car has been sighted with L-shaped LED tail lights, a rear diffuser, a tall rear lip spoiler and DRLs. The Perdana was also spotted with a black-and-beige interior scheme with brown wood trim.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments show a mix of skepticism and criticism regarding the Proton Perdana's pricing, design, and features, with many comparing it unfavorably to Japanese models like Honda Accord and Toyota Camry. Several commenters are disappointed it’s an old Honda platform rebadged, questioning its value at RM100k-150k and suggesting better options for similar money. Others criticize Proton’s management, branding, and marketing, citing poor presentation quality and high costs. There’s concern over the car’s lack of modern safety features and premium options, with some sarcastically suggesting it’s not worth the price. Despite negativity, some still show interest, but overall the sentiment is largely skeptical about Proton’s strategy and the car’s market positioning.
