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.

Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
the car unveiling pictures looks like some people looking up something they should’t….
RM150K for a Proton? Ha, ha, nope.
For 100k i can get used 2012 camry.. lol.. wtf with that price.. what proton thinking..
OMG…> RM100K, better buy Jap c-segment lah.
Proton 5S principles:
1. Sendiri Cakap
2. Sendiri Syok
3. Sentiasa Rosak
4. Sangat Mahal
5. Siapapun tak beli
Beg to differ. 2012 Camry doesn’t drive half as good. Plus, it’s an uncles car.
Brand new 2016 car vs 4 years old car with 10 years old Toyota technology…what a thinking.
DO you mean a brand new 2016 car base on a 2008 Honda Accord Gen 8 technology? LOL that’s why some still love to modify their old Perdana
I know so many people bought Perdana and at the same time, as a 2nd car, they bought either a Camry or an Accord.
After 12 years, the Perdana becomes Rm3000
After 12 years, the Accord still can sell RM60k
After 12 years, the Camry still can get RM60k.
That alone will show you, after 10 years, your Perdana becomes scrap metal. ZERO RV car.
Also, ask any Perdana owner, after 10 years, they would have spent a BOMB in maintenance in maintenance and repairs alone
The Perdana Owner, after 10 years, over RM100k in maintenance and repairs.
The Camry owner, after 10 years, at most RM30k in maintenance and repairs.
The Accord Owner, after 10 years, at most Rm25k in maintenance and repairs.
Correction. The Camry owner, after 5 years, skidded in rain cuz no VSC, and masuk longkang then burst into flames. The end
Not every car skid in rain but EVERY Proton is guaranteed to break down at the roadside. Don’t believe me? Go get a Proton then I wish you good luck!
I have a 2008 Gen2 CPS. Never needed to tow. Ever.
Oops, new Perdana 2.0 no VSC also. So will it skid in rain and burst into flames like Exora (Although no need to skid also can burst into flames)?
Same L0rr.. did you know that VSC and ESC is the same thing?
Yes, i know. I also know Gen 2 CPS has none of it. So will john’s Proton masuk longkang or is it a special modified one?
how much is the price of accord and how much is perdana? please compare apple to apple, price to price. not compare mango with grape.
‘Anti Trap Power Windows’? Hahaha… Of course lah, it’s from Honda, not Proton. In Iriz, Proton dare not say that
from honda?? even preve have that‘Anti Trap Power Windows’. are you just coming out from cave?
Even my saga have that ‘Anti Trap Power Windows’. It’s just that it sometimes get stuck
Juara also have anti trap power windows. LOL!!!
Anti-Trap because the window will FAIL hahahahahahaha. How to trap anything when can’t move
Power window ok, Proton Boleh!
Proton Boleh! Bumi Boleh!
It just tells you what their fantasies are
Starting from 100k??? Tun DrM never learn… but still way less expensive compare to c-segment in Malaysia aka Bolehland !
Corretion “d-segment”
Correction ‘corretion’
Uncorrection. If its really 100k, its oso lower than most C-segment cars from T,H,N,VW,Pug
correction ” uncorrection” = ” incorrect”
bodo
theopulous chin nailed it..
Maybe they just took theopulous chin’s render and adjust the contrast…
Bahhhh just launch it already.
150k for da 2.4 full spec sounds good to me actually.. Lets see the final product…
Pay additional 20K can get Honda Accord 2.4 already.
n why should i do that??????? flawed logic bro..
YEAH and experience lesser of ‘ini biasa lah’ when complaint problems to Proton SC…excuses more than solving the issue
RM100k~150k? Must be kidding, right? At this price range, there are many other better choices! Good luck ya potong!
ya. The current get Accord!
Just add 10k-20k already got accord.. stupid potong.. wtf are you doing man..
that silhouette tho….
My advices are:
1. 6 airbags + esp across the range
2. 108 888 for 2.0L, and 138 888 for 2.4L; cannot exceed Nissan Teana basic spec. You ceo/deo/eeo etc etc from Proton top managements please go and test drive Teana 2.0L before you finalise your price, for your own sake.
3. Please, no more 89 days for a power window warranty claim or equivalent.
4. Some people are better at various aftersale services, the ones who are better should get the jobs/promotions, regardless white cats or black cats. Unless you dont want to make money.
Huh?
Also, since the price range is from RM100k to RM150k. I suggest for highest spec, please add few more items.
Four tires pressure monitor system. Front, rear and two side cameras, front parking sensors. These few items won’t taking over RM5k. Even a very good quality with GPS, and touchsreen LCD display won’t hit over 15k plus a anti-theft security system in the package.
Just to match the meaning of “Perdana” and let peoples feel premium and high class.
150k baik beli new honda accord lahanat.. jual la murah sikit.. degil tahap bangang la proton ni.
Bro, its between 100k to 150k.. u want high spec but pay 100k, gila apa..
later proton will reveal that no mechanical changes were made to the car, bashers were bashing honda tech
just launch it already, its just another Accord with different badge and a new fancy bodykit, whats the hype all about??
I anticipate my next poop more than this useless car launch
-BigBalls-
Curse Proton. Recipe for a lousy car is what they used for the Perdana.
No option for manual gearbox – check
Beige interior – check
Nasty wood trim – check
Badly positioned LCD screen – check
Typo error on presentation (Air0cond) – check
And the best – mismatched bumper & body paint colour. Ini trademark dia next to rattly interior. Eventhough this is somewhat badge engineered, rattles will appear. Why? Cos they cut cost on clips and screws.
Same case with my Inspira. But easy to settle, gua order clip dan skru dari Mitsu Jepun. Tukar semua skru inspira. Kaotim.
I thought nobody knows….yes they cut cost on screw and nuts…Mitsubishi original nuts are of better quality too
Air0cond.. laughed my ass off
Many people can’t wait for this car. Hopefully, Proton can get it right for the d segment. Honestly, I don’t think this model and segment will be profitable for P1, but maybe P1 already realize this and aiming for changing people’s perception only with this model.
p.s. It’s in the drive. Nice tagline. No more boosting in something that is not true.
RM150k which alike the same price range with other cars that applied taxes that almost 50% additonal of its selling price, still considere no profit? Then better don’t waste time in this business!
Segment D is a very small segment in Malaysia. How come it will be profitable if the number of selling is low. The only way is to expand the market, means to import it. But I don’t think this perdana can make it outside as the new accord is already out there when p1 launched it.
Waaa…sorry, not interested.
Again… this is what we’re supposed to be proud of?
A rebadged 6yr old design. cosmetic changes only. and yet 6 months to go into production. 100-150k.
I really don’t know what it will take for people to condemn Proton to its graveyard where it belongs. Worse and worse by the day, yet there are still people who take them seriously. Like Kanye West.
no powered passenger seat, wth, 101k, and nkt a penny more
preve cfe 1.6 turbo is 78k ( over 9 years)
if the new perdana is priced at 148k, then u r getting almost 2 preves, izzit worth that much? u dont even get passenger electric seat, only driver,
perdana maybe maximum 40k worth more than the preve, around 118k, similarly priced against Japanese c segmenters…
Mind u, if u wish to gamble on a d segment at around 130-140, u cn get 3-4 years old accords, camries and teana at that price….
Sole 2.4L engine? The typical proton buyers can’t even afford the road tax LOL.
Why still use the old Proton logo in the slide if new one already announced? :S
Ya, you are right. This might be done by theopilus chin or someone (I can do that also) to make some ‘news’ for you all since complaint always clearest view of accordana. How could a slide show so simple put all feature into a page. All the information is known by everyone.
Maybe the preview was done before the new logo launch? PT wud need adhere to NDA period, u know…
2.4L engine. Good luck! Government servant got lubang to gorek through the high maintainance cost again.
Ah Pek, nobody cares how much you wanna sell this junk. Things is nobody will ever buy a proton anymore. Don’t you understand ah Pek, we just want your junk company proton to shut down???
This is NOT a proton this is a Honda Accord. Grand father M you shud name it Honton Perccord or Proda Acdena or better Proton Accord or Honda Perdana. What a disgrace to yourself and to all Malaysians. You have to rebadge a old generation Accord of another manufacturer and call it your own Perdana. Really disgrace to the max. You have failed horribly as a proton creator of original proton cars. Utter disgrace and shameful!!!!
I thought Inspira is one of the very good car to buy and even at less than 90K it was not selling well,
and here we have Proton Perdana at more than 100K?
I wonder how the sales going to be like.
Anyway Good Luck.
By the way please don’t give another false 17K pre-booking of Iriz.
100k & above for a “Potong” dunk???!!!!.. I’ll get a japanis brand better still!. :(
Seems there are many haters over here. Toyota fans are coming out. Those who kutuk here kutuk there are those ppl who drive old A segment car who cant really afford to buy Proton at all.
Just realised the crappy slides after someone pointed it out………….. WHAT THe FLYING F__
This is what happens in Msian GLC.. I know cos I worked for one.. but usually the Corp Comms team takes things seriously and checks for grammar, spelling, and corporate identity before releasing.
Air0cond is one error. See the spacing at tilt-telescopic steering. See the stock images used, obviously just downloaded from Google Images and MS Clipart! Its unacceptable at any organisation. Whoever did this would get fired in any other circumstance. Probably an intern.
The copywriting is another story.. First talk about design, looks then suddenly comfort, then drive, then comfort again. You took a bunch of words, swung them together, and this is your branding?????? Seriously, what the flying f.
Embarrassment of a company. Not just as a car company. At an organisational level, Proton is an embarrassment.
Maybe the car itself is good but selling at 100K mark is something not very affordable – mind you this is national car.
Moreover good car need good customer service, we all now how good proton services are because of lousy management – please don’t blame on your worker/employee you bloody management/manager, it’s your inefficiency that causes lousy services.
Anyhow people will still buy because of less $$$ compared to others. not that people like the car but somehow because it cost less , yes 10K/20K or even few K is a lot to some people.
Please dont tell me this is rebadge from Honda, but proton service vs Honda service? which one less headache?
Wow! Best of the best car ever! Will buy it no matter what! Proton Beng let’s go buy togather. Woohooo!
100 to 150k? The Proton should really sit down and re-plan the selling price seriously. I think not many people will consider buying a Proton car with anything more than 100k.
100k-150k for 2.4..good price
Aircond, steering button havent change? use back honda design? if yes, why take so long to R&D? hopefully dont give us a crap car.
i will buy this car. sound interesting.
More interesting is when you trying to sell it 2 years later, second hand car dealer only willing to take it for half the price because it is a 10 year-old model.
That logic wud defy the vios purportedly hi-RV cuz a brand new keli wud alredi incur a 10 year old RV penalty, now wud it?
At 80-100k you can get a second hand CBU Japan Honda Accord 3.5L V6 with VCM and 270hp. The money you save can be use to pay road tax and petrol, and the pride of overtaking the stock Golf GTI on highway.
It is an old Honda platform people. nothing to be proud of. just take your old Honda accord to any fiber shop and get a new front and tear bumper on it and Voila.. this is not something proton can show off.. make your own car then we can say good about it.
After all these year we Malaysian still cannot design our very own car
I know it is unrelated but just want to heat up the situation like RBA. I’d rather buy Citroen Grand Picasso at around 190k with adaptive cruise control (including 6 airbags and TC) than previa at around 250k with only 2 airbags, no TC. Eat shit la UMW Toyota. Even Ford Smax (around 190k) is better than previa. It has 7 airbags and TC. I don’t have problem with Toyota. They are the best. But UMW, eat shitla. Jual kereta mahal2 tp kosong!!
Plus the 5 years free parts+labour warranty by Citroen Malaysia..
This proton can be sell below RM100k.. If the car sell at RM130k, approximately RM30k you pay to government as tax and you being charge by bank interest for that RM30k loan and GST to that specific RM30k too.. Wtf!
Government takes more than proton, government takes from your hard earn money politely.. FFace!
Syukur lah.
150k for this or Mazda 6 ? or Honda accord ? It’s a no brainer . How to justify the cost. and 2.4 only 135 horses …
135kw is 180hp ps: i am not proton supporter but hate when si bodoh tin kosong talk like pro
Next time before you start typing, please use your God-given brain to think first.
Anyway 150k for a Proton is way too much, I’d rather top up. No more Proton for me after getting bombed hard with the Inspira, can only sell at half the price I got it for a 3 year old car.
It doesn’t come with braking assist,lane keeping assist and even blind spot? How about tilting headlights? No? Why don’t I get a Peugeot 508 for that price then? Proton, Lmao
this is my opinion…..Im not gonna say which spec is better or which quality is better…..im just gonna compare the price between japs D-segment and proton Perdana.if the price of proton perdana fell between 100-150, its totally not reasonable,why?we need to take the government tax into account,proton perdana is supposed to be duty free as it’s fully manufactured in malaysia and if you are talking about same quality and spec…..the price should be half of that of imported car.Actually proton has been doing this for ages,marking up the price for locals but lowering the price at foreign countries.The car exported to other countries are better in term of quality and specs…and this is the fact….by right their sales and profit margins should be far better than that of imported cars,but yet they claimed they are operating in a loss…..over 30 yearsprotected by government,with lots of advantages over other car makers….still experiencing loss,is it acceptable?guys just think about it…..
Well said…most rationale and logical…unfortunatley Malaysians are either sleeping or they have not much choice….
Another copy…. nice try, proton. I got my eyes on toyota camry and honda accord for that rage of money.
//
walawei, 130k can already buy me a secondhand lotus elise with 30k milage. ggwp proton
100 to 150 K for Proton? Rather get Accord, camry, crv Hyundai tucson, sonata or even Peugeot for that price ➕ ➖. Mahathir never learn. It’s not your 90s proton era anymore…
Yes PROTON tolong set kan harga yang berjiwa rakyat.

Yes PROTON disiplin ur servis outlet.
Yes PROTON be honest and telus, akui mistake dan betulkan.
Yes PROTON elok barang yg nak ganti tu Free sajalah.
Yes PROTON rakyat dah kaya, jaga status maka perlu cipta kereta baru from out of this planets-supaya rakyat hargai.
I’m still driving my Saga Mega Valve 1.5I – 1990 – has never broken down. I don’t smoke which means my power windows are hardly rolled down. I drive normal, not like a souped up normal car. I keep my Saga original including the ori Blaupunkt radio – only speaker je tukar.
Best way to keep your car going – use the same car workshop, drive normal, dont over stressed the car engine & body like turning it into a racing car or mega disco plus dont EVER lend your car to anyone too.
@ the end of the day, its the driver that makes or break the car and not the brand name.
btw, i use a Hilux to go into the jungles over weekends whilst the Saga is for normal use.
OMG, even the E
alamak, even the English broken…i simply cannot understand how Proton management let the same team (judging from past advertisements eg Suprima) in the job and teribble grammar slips past them…”Drive it to believe it” and now tis nonsense “many do not notice our design until they see beyond the looks”
No wonder u are jobless because u judge the whole management team just by their grammatical error.Haha.Peace. :p
The price range should be between 90k – 110k only.
Too much negativity here..waaayyy to much. I wonder if the Korean people bash Kia and Hyundai car maker even at one time their vehicle are worst than Proton. Maybe that differs the level of thinking with their country and our country. Sad..but true..
When you’re prejudiced, you’re prejudiced.
boleh beli rumah .huhu
If its less than RM50,000……….good buy.
add 23k more and you will get a new vw passat
