After a slow start to the year, Proton’s three-sedan launch plan is getting well underway. In June, the national carmaker unveiled the new Perdana after years of hype, speculation, spyshots and teasers. In less than 24 hours it will be the turn of the 2016 Proton Persona to take the spotlight when it is finally launched.
Although Proton’s flagship D-segment sedan was an impressive opening salvo, it’s this B-segment model that will slug it out in the heartland of the Malaysian market, so it’s a very important model for the company. We’ve seen spyshots, watched official teaser videos and even driven the car ourselves, but very soon you too will be able to see the Persona in full.
Our usual comprehensive launch report – complete with all the details and a full live gallery – will be present and accounted for just after the car is launched, but if you like, you can watch it being unveiled before your eyes, before anyone else, right from this website!
Yes, as with the launch of the Perdana, Iriz and Suprima S, paultan.org is proud to bring you exclusive live streaming coverage of the 2016 Proton Persona launch event, happening tomorrow from 11:45am onwards.
Be the first to see the new car inside and out and learn of all the details, specifications and equipment count for all variants – as long as your device’s browser supports YouTube streaming, you’ll be able to watch it anywhere. So see you tomorrow morning!
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
The new B-segment leader is here soon!
I know for a fact that Iriz has very comfortable and supportive seats. And I see this DNA is carried into the Persona. Good for those long drives !
Sendiri Cakap Sendiri Syok again soon. With the Bezza, people will be so stupid pay more for junk? Don’t play play with Proton quality.
Proton’s success starts now!!!!
No thanks, Proton.
Rather buy Honda City, Toyota Vios for a peace of mind.
Leader? When was the last time Proton became a leader?
soon…paham tak soon ?
90’s?? 70% command market, 6 months waiting period, no colour to choose, and they became very arrogant. Now only being humble.
Apparently with all the critics to the Proton brand….you are actually make them better and competitive in the industry.
Incoming 50,000 sales for Persona 1.6mt standard RM47k.
What a price!!!
This what Protob we are waiting for good car cheap price. Sure can sell
You so sure? Don’t be surprised if sales volume is on par with iriz. Which is below 2000 units a month. On the contrary, Bezza or Axia sales volume hovers between 15000 to 20000 each every month, which is 10 times higher.
of kos la tak terkejut…harga murah. mentaliti rakyat malaysia mau murah. tak selamat takpa.
Did proton hired cyber army too?
no Proton staff want to OT… lol
Didn’t this car received some updates on the transmission?because it certainly felt different when I drove it..
Mind to share what that different is like?
New torque converter CVT, no more punch cvt
retunning and optimization of CVT charecteristic… not an easy job.
Sendiri yang kerja kat Proton, sendiri tanya, sendiri jawab. Ynag paling penting sekali, syok sendiri.
If you read the inital test drive review, Proton engineer has tweak the CVT to be more linear so it feels better compared to the CVT on Iriz. Not the best in the market but at least the improvement is on par with the rivals.
Who are Proton rivals?
In terms of sales Ferrari? Lambo?
In terms of quality …. is there any company worst that Proton in quality?
The start of the revival of Proton …… soon can repay the MYR1.5 bil soft loan
Pay 1st talk later ler! Hutang melambak, kadar melambung. Dah lebih 30 tahun menyusah negara dengan pelbagai alasan, insaf lah sikit dengan bayar balik duit berjuta-juta yang telah dibakar sia sia aje. Rakyat masih tunggu bila Potong akan buang polisi tongkat. Berkali kali tease & launch. Tunjuk lah “sales result” yang boleh kagumkan negara & bangsa!.. Harap Potong bangun!
Non contender
The 1.5 B is mainly to pay the dying suppliers ,all their accumulated(inflated) debts ..
What about current capital needed for operations,FAT salaries,maintenance,r n D etc..?
No one hope their staff will go hungry,but their workforce is hugely OVERSIZED….
REVIVAL …..IS A MYTH…FOR P1.
You JV with Suzuki….u think the Japs are bodoh,Kah? They have to be paid in Millions of USD.
R u fresh from college or flunk Form 3?
Has Proton ever pay back loan?
And please know the difference between repay loan and paying taxes because even the ex-chairman equating both as same.
Hidden due to lowcomment rating. Click here to see.
you can watch the event later,they record it during the live streaming
You still using Nokia 3310 that cannot watch Youtube while on the go? People are glued to their devices anyway even while having lunch.
12 noon still working hour, i won’t hire lazy pipu like you
Everybody except you.
you can watch them back later,they record it during the live streaming
Toyota salesmen in worry mode.
Toyota salesman….dont be to patriotic with toyota brand….start selling Proton. I’m afraid you dont have sales starting next month if you are to arrogant and patriotic with a single brand.
Of course, since not many walk in customer already in toyotaik showroom already, if got also just walk and see (most toyotaik SA don’t like it), and feel pissed off since taik SA like to tell the buyers rudely, “Nak fikir apa, beli je, RV bagus, kereta lain memang tak guna macam sampah”.
azrai, are u serious?
Toyota salesmen in worry mode?
What?
Yes.the 1st month sales of Hilux 4000 units is shortlived. Monthly sales for hilux monthly now around 1000 units only.sign to worry.
Apparently you care enough to complaint about it.
So need to do at night lah, baru orang datang?
Bro if you are not invited, I’m sorry. Tapi yang datang pun ramai journalist and invited people, so this is part of their job. And do you think they will just invite people without preparing launch?
Sorry again bro u need to try to go la coz u don’t even know how the occasion is carried out.
You go lunch only at 12pm but Proton people lunch all day. Probably at 12pm later would be their busies day of their work day.
U go eat ur lunch.. no one care what..
This is why there is live streaming via PT blog.
People like you la, abuden? You even bothered to come here to comment ‘smart and intelligent’ statemen =D
Ever heard of catering?
God gives us the same 24 hours per day. Some can manage their time efficiently.. some doesn’t.
Of course the one who care. Stupid.
Awaiting the P1 macai give their very positive comments. Let see whether the number of appraises of new Persona on par with the sales figure after 3 months from it launched.
Why not 9am… waiting for najib again?
Tmrw proton staff and sub-cons will be on their PCs to post good comments here. Just look at the earlier story today, LOL. Expect them to fade away by next week.
Of course.
Dekat mana pelancaran ini akan berlansung esok ?
Same campro engine & cvt bising punch powertrain! Who care?
Feeling optimistic that this latest B-segment city sedan could repeat the success of the Wira in the 90’s thus slicing a big chunk of the market share that it has lost over the last decade only if Proton succeed to manage the current bad percepection problem that’s been plagued by the brand.
In terms of looks it seems to be much better than the model it’s replacing. Hopefully it delivers in terms of driving dynamics, comfort and reliability too. Good luck Proton.
Just one thing I would like to say to PROTON: Bravo!
ESC is a standard across all PERSONA variants. I hope SAGA would be the same too, although I don’t think that’s going to happen due to cost reason.
But nonetheless, BRAVO PROTON! Let some people boast talk about how bad the resale value Proton car is, because OUR LIFE IS PRICELESS!
Hahaha manyak sentap.. Lamai olang dlm ini blog kasi komen. TP tatak pakai pon ini proton. Kasi pakai dlu Baru komen maaa… Hati manyak dengki.. Manyak musuk ma
the most awaited B segment car of the year
Campro Engine & CVT bising Punch Powertrain.. No RV! Who care?!
The plastics look a bit cheap to be honest. Reminds me of the gen2 n savvy type interior. Not exactly wonderful.
Saw the actual car,Persona. Well build. Plastic feels firm and quality.

this page is all Proton staff, just read what they say, this is work of people who are paid to comment on the company. this is cheating. another big failure and embarrassment to be reveled soon. All proton staff here only. I was wondering what will they achieve as all Rakyat knows what is happening in proton under their DRB bosses.
Except me. I’m not a Proton staff. I even don’t own a Proton.
But sorry, I can’t bash Proton all the time and praise Perodua all the time, as you wish.
Simply because Proton now is able to produce better affordable cars. Credit given when credit due.
Rakyat all beli Perodua Boxza base variant with no ESC baru a reader happy…
NOBODY CARES! LOL!
let’s see it after launch
Front headlamps looks like forte
Just an Iriz with a buntut…what else is new?
I’m going to buy these! Its value for money.
For me to flat at side body
I think Bezza already knew it might be less superior than both all new Saga and Persona. And it launched itself hastily and rather “unprepared”. The game is officially on.
I want buy this car..
just give comment about the car..please.
no need to compare with produa or toyota or honda..
just about this car..
only time will tell.
Proton needs seriously new RND people recruited from well known outside companies…
Habis tu perodua tu kereta nasional ker….semua rebadge dari jupun lagi kau org nak bangga ke….simpan siket bodoh tu…perodua rasuah ke sampai boleh buat kereta cc besar mcm sekarang….proton dari lakaran sampai jadi sebuah kereta ingat senang ke cakap senang la cuba buat baru tahu…
