To add to the first set of silver photos, we now have pictures of a high spec variant of the upcoming 2016 Proton Persona. Sent in by paultan.org reader Jun Kit, the new B-segment sedan was spotted in The Strand, Kota Damansara, in the middle of a video shoot.
Though less detailed than the earlier set, the red car seen here sports a larger set of grey alloy wheels (presumably 15-inch items compared to the 14-inchers fitted on the lower-spec silver car), body-coloured wing mirrors and door handles, along with a chrome garnish piece above the rear number plate holder.
The rest of it is as per what we’ve seen before. The Proton Iriz-based sedan features a sharper face up front, featuring slimmer reflector headlights, an almost Honda Civic-like “floating” chrome grille and a revised lower bumper design. A subtle character line above the rear wheelarches neatly lead into the new almond-shaped tail lights, which are mounted high on the short boot.
Expect the 2016 Proton Persona to get the Iriz’s range of 1.3 litre and 1.6 litre VVT engines. So folks, do you like what you see here? Tell what you think in the comments section below.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express a mix of anticipation and skepticism about the new Proton Persona, with some praising its design while others find it unattractive or poorly proportioned. Many are concerned about small wheels on a tall body, question the high price, and criticize the overall look, especially in comparison to competitors like Almera and Vios. There are also discussions about Proton’s technology, design choices, and past testing issues, with some feeling the car resembles older models and noting it may downgrade to a B segment. Some commenters suggest waiting for full specs, engine updates, or potential face-lifts before considering a purchase. Overall, sentiments reflect cautious optimism but significant doubts about the car’s design, value, and Proton’s R&D investment.
